Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

Can more conferences look at offering childcare? It would make attendance so much more feasible for parents of young kids. Looking at ISA's model it could just involve partnering with a local child-minding organisation. @ecpr.bsky.social @ecprgender.bsky.social @europeanisa.bsky.social #academicsky

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

How big are the bags of rice? 10kg? I need to know how many kg of rice to visualise surrounding BIL. Thank you for this tale of drama, thrill and politics.

it's surreal to be living through events that you absolutely know are showing up in history textbooks all over the place in 20-30 years

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

At least they are treated better than the civet cats that produce kopi luwak 😭

recently learned about “dek bass”, a sound system culture in rural West Bengal, using cassette decks and homemade systems, and it’s remarkable because 1) the music and equipment are sick and 2) the DJ always looks like he’s being briefed on a national security issue

Sure, let's ask the Trump regime's murderous masked thugs to come over to Europe and "help with security" - wtf?

A lot of people really believe that the systems of domination they're invested in are the natural order of things.

Australia Day is such bullshit. NSW proclamation day at best. At worst a celebration of the crimes of colonisation.

If you have to acknowledge that the day is a source of pain for many, that’s a damn good sign it’s a shit day to have as your national day.

I mentioned to some Australian friends that parenting is so much easier in summer and they laughed at me because this concept is so foreign / because they haven't had to negotiate with a 1yo about wearing the gloves that they absolutely insist on holding in their hands (and dropping along the way) 🫠

One of the biggest differences in parenting toddlers in warmer vs. colder places seems to be in winter, where in colder places everything takes approximately 173x as long because you have to manage a million layers, accessories, and many feelings about each individual item of clothing

I don't know what was intended but the concept of the Jewish community 'reclaiming' or 'taking back' any part of any part of so-called Australia is deeply problematic.

Australia is Aboriginal land.

We are never invited to take back our land.

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.

For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order. We join its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that, we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection. We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically, and we knew that international law applied with varied rigor, depending on the identity of the accused or the victim. This fiction was useful, and American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.

If nothing else, pretty amazing Canadian PM Carney said the quiet part out loud today: international law has never been real and the ‘rules’ of the international order have never applied to the US and its allies.

This may indeed be the actual death of neoliberalism.

I genuinely thought this post was a metaphor for the world we currently live in.

Apparently it is actually a real life [ducknapping?] and everyone is okay (unlike the world we currently live in)
