I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.

"Wallerstein’s wide-ranging political and intellectual interests soon led him to a career-making interest in #sociology (TV UNAM, 2019, 7:38). The discipline’s openness, he argued, stemmed from sociology’s expansive boundaries, which made it difficult to exclude any subject from its scope."

Aspen Proposal

All healthy humans are innately pro-social, the result of our evolution as a social species and the need for social cohesion.

As we grow up, that innate predisposition to cooperate and get along with others is shaped by the cultures in which we are raised to make us the kind of adults we become.

And as adults we then help shape the further development of our culture.

Are we heading in the right direction?

Words matter.

For a moment let's look beyond Trump's nonsense tariff "plan" which is certain to cause global harms.

Please consider the words this abuser chose to use in defending the tariffs:

"our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered”

😡 I understand the economic damage is occupying everybody's thoughts but we must call Trump out for trivializing sexual assault in this way. Allowing these phrases to go unchallenged is harmful to survivors and affects public discourse / social norms.

💜 April is #SAAM (Sexual Assault Awareness Month) - please call out this sad excuse of a man for his mysogynistic, moronic, and ironic phrasing.

The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)

Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

Travelling to "Non-Religion in the Nordic Countries" symposium in Uppsala. The symposium contributes to Nordic perspectives on noneligion, which is a growing area within the Sociology of religion. My presentation explores interconnections between nonreligion, wellbeing and community gardens.

"Wealth inequality is one of the defining challenges of our time, yet class analysis – a fundamental pillar of sociology – has often had surprisingly little to say about it. Given this, Nora Waitkus explores how Marx, Weber and Bourdieu can each offer us ways to think about wealth inequality in a more nuanced way."

Last was "The Wealth of Refugees" by Alexander Betts. Betts has penned a tour de force, combining economic, historical, and deep qualitative analysis to provide a holistic look at how refugees build economies and societies. Highly recommend

@zjp Top tip: Sometimes when you click on links, there's more information on the page you arrive at. /s

Here's the link to the report, which is 84 pages long.

"Similar to the pattern observed with online bullying, kids who own a smartphone are slightly less likely to report
feeling depressed most days compared with those who don’t own a smartphone (21% vs. 26%), which may be due
to socioeconomic status affecting smartphone ownership and depression, or to reverse causation, where parents of children with depression may be less likely to give them a smartphone to protect them from the harmful effects of digital media use. By contrast, children who own a tablet are more likely to report feeling depressed compared to those who don’t (26% vs. 19%)."
