Humanity has historically eaten 6,000 plants; now we eat mostly NINE: This is a great (scary) story from Bloomberg on how global diets have converged on a few crops in a few decades – with many alarming implications. Well told (super smart graphics!) #food #climate

I really recommend #booklyapp for creating reading habits. It has a ton of cool features that allows you to reflect and gather notes on books while also compiling metrics/tracking goals!

I asked #chatgpt to write me an essay, with citations, about a scientific topic I know very well (bat crawling behaviour). It wrote a bad essay that didn’t really say much, but cited two papers with which I wasn’t familiar, in very good journals. I was freaked out! How did I not know those papers?
Turns out, chatgpt just made them up. The papers don’t exist. That’s a handy thing to know.

I'm really liking @NotionHQ
to sort, store, and keep track of my dissertation materials.

The Holocaust did not begin with killing; it began with words.

Genocides do not start with mass murder. That's where they end up.

Genocides & other mass atrocity crimes begin with words - specifically, with powerful people dehumanizing a minority.

Once they are seen as less than human, anything is possible, even mass murder.

👉 You can speak out loudly today for the rights of others, or you can stay silent & wait for tomorrow, when your rights will be taken away too.

Finished the syllabus for my first ever #Course that I’ll be #Teaching in winter. Took SO MUCH work as I tried my best to put a lot of thought and care into it. I hope it’s received well ☺️ #teaching #pedagogy #coursedesign #socMastodon #SocMasto #sociology #family #sociologyoffamily
