I highlighted the most important part of yesterday’s Nature paper. We’re in year six. Can you please stop saying “during the pandemic” and “post-Covid”? You sound dangerously uninformed or just really stupid when you say it.

Just like the “male loneliness epidemic” the imbalance in men going to college is entirely their own doing. A whole generation has decided to make themselves uneducated and unfuckable because they’re addicted to resentment. Manosphere influencers line their pockets by ensuring they stay that way.
Matt@tiredgenerally.bsky.social · 2y agoi hate to be a monocausal guy but i really think this discussion of masculinity, trade school, the gendering of education etc is beating around the bush. male democrats have seen no sizable drop in their desire to attend college. female republicans have. it’s about politics.
However hard your life is, remember that you have more dignity than the richest man to ever exist, who used a sock puppet to post this about himself.

Implicit in a lot of anti-vaccination and anti-public health narratives like those of RFK Jr is a deep disgust/fear of disability; but also an unspoken hope that unchecked disease will "cull" the population of "weaker/less fit" people. I really just can't see past a lot of that.

Thinking of all the disabled folks having a lonely holiday season bc ppl couldn't be bothered with COVID precautions, the space wasn't accessible, funds are tight, you need the time off to recover, ppl are disappointed you're not who you used to be, invitations are simply no longer forthcoming, etc.
I have an incredibly unfun medical appointment tomorrow morning. Send good vibes that it goes easily and without complications

I need to delete like at least half the academics I'm following here.

Breaking news! Mike Hoerger is posting his covid forecasts on Bluesky now! Mike, thanks so much for keeping me safe and covid free.
Masking makes spaces more accessible for the medically vulnerable. It’s amazing to me how many good and decent people know this and just don’t do it. Misinformation, propaganda, the Democratic Party have done a number on our ability to reason our way out of being just to disabled folks.
