When I owned a muscle car, I only wanted loud exhaust when I really stepped on it.
But lately it seems like so many cars (I'm looking at you Dodge) sound like they're trying to make the back straight at Daytona when they're just going 12 miles an hour. Why?
And there is a huge upturn in open exhaust cars screaming down the road, that's just not acceptable on public roads. Go to a race track.

We take so many of these statements at face value because they seem to make sense in our #patriarchal system, and then before we know it we’ve got terrible, repressive, socially-accepted "knowledge."
How many times have you looked at this trans person or that trans person and found yourself just in awe of them, feeling hopeless to ever measure up to their transness? I know I have.
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, Red Seems Sus, which means we're investigating imposters... or rather, why trans folks often feel like we're not trans enough, or not really trans by comparison to others. I promise: you won't be thrown out an airlock! 🤭
@Impossible_PhD as always, great article. Unfortunately, I am not good enough at being trans as I don’t dress feminine enough or voice train as often as I should. Therefore as a bad, imposter trans I shouldn’t say anymore
Our minds are constantly on the move! In this podcast, we'll explore techniques to rein in that inner wanderer and cultivate the art of mindfulness. Feeling scattered and forgetful? Can't focus on the present moment? You're not alone!
How the Brain Processes Different Components of Language - Moving beyond neural localization of language. Posted May 28, 2024
"...This is in line with recent ideas about a "cortical mosaic" architecture for linguistic structure within overlapping portions of posterior temporal and inferior frontal cortices for processing demands that bias syntactic and semantic computations, whereby, for example, effects of composition can be found within a narrow strip of tissue within the broader lexicality-sensitive cortical sites (a spatial mosaic), or where different demands of sentence-level inferential semantics can be detected over closely overlapping temporal windows within a small area of cortex (a spatiotemporal mosaic)..."
@shekinahcancook Dr. Suess' phonics is not allowed in mandated schemes which have to be "Synthetic Phonics" strict sound by sound-no rhyme patterns allowed. Interestingly (to me anyway) almost every method of teaching reading works for almost every kid. Just none work 100%. I learnt in the 60s by Look and Say- now banned everywhere as Wrong. But most of my generation learnt to read that way.
The problems occur are 1) when the ideologically fixated believe there is One True Method and 2) when the method becomes more important than the outcome- i.e. the kids actually wanting to read. When in some places in the 80s phonics was an anathema as a specialist teacher I taught phonics where appropriate. And where Synthetic Phonics the current Shibboleth was taught I'd use the other (Dr. Suess compatible) type where appropriate. And a range of other techniques too, for kids having reading problems.
“Country folk did better, on average, than people from cities. And among city-dwellers, those from cities with more chaotic street networks such as those in the older parts of European cities did better than those from cities like Chicago, where the streets form a regular grid, perhaps because residents of grid cities don’t need to build such complex mental maps.”
Jestem osobą podatna na uzależnienia oraz przyzwyczajenia. Kiedyś niestety się samookaleczalam i robilam to codziennie, obecnie nie robię tego już z dobrych 10 lat. Jestem z tego dumna, bo nawet mnie nie kręci do tego. A mogło być różnie. #zdrowiepsychiczne#psychology
