#peer reviewed articles

[cyanpluto]

I need yalls advice. I need peer reviewed and reputable sources giving financial advice to people in extreme or low poverty, or describing the financial pitfalls of extreme poverty. I have...a person in my life who keeps telling me how great Dave Ramseys financial advice is, and this person genuinely does not understand why this won't work on someone living paycheck to paycheck. I don't blame...this person. They are susceptible to cult-like or conspiracy theory traps, and have a hard time letting go of current paradigms. But it is /very important/ that I can show them why this won't work and simultaneously avoid "I told you so you useless idiot".

Oh I forgot how mad I get at like a solid 70% of existing scholarship on gender and medieval Irish lament. Lmao. Rereading an article I read last year and my marginal comments are so grumpy

The fact that you can use Botox for hypertrophic scars and burn wounds is so amusing to me. People would absolutely buy that Bruce Wayne spends insane sums on cosmetic treatments to stay young and good-looking, rather than assuming he needs to get rid of his litany of scars before the Wayne Enterprises corporate retreat.

Hii do you know any snake YouTubers? Like people who do like snake vlogs/documentaries and stuff idk.

Thank you have a great day!! 🐍

Hello friend!

My apologies, but I specifically exclude myself from the YouTube realm and I have no idea what goes on there outside of whispers of poor husbandry advice and good keepers gone bad for the views.

It seems like a very stressful and sad life to be a YouTuber, with the possibility of realizing one day that you've done something abhorrent and put viewership metrics over quality of life. Thankfully, most of them seem to be spared the burden of self-awareness... At least when the cameras are on.

when the hyperfixation gets so bad you pull out this bad boy

currently remembering that one time I needed a reference for a fanfiction I was writing and found a peer-reviewed paper about how grief affects children only it was locked behind a paywall so I emailed the author of the paper with my .edu email and said I was working on a project (which was technically true) and he emailed me the pdf for free

peace and love on planet earth

I hate the language of scientific articles that are focused on “correction” of natural human variation. Such a disgusting mentality. Autistic children not emoting “correctly,” intersex babies being “incorrectly developed” or “mutated” or “disfigured…” and so much more.

(Not shocked, just yet again disappointed.)

how do you like Thomas Hamilton and do you think the ending is real?

i was just thinking about this when falling asleep last night lol.

my thoughts are: i think silver killed flint on skeleton island, that it was premeditated and the story of flint in savannah was intentionally constructed by silver and jack to mitigate rebellion. i think that silver's re-telling of it to madi and how artificial it feels, and how silver relies on the semantics of "unmaking" flint to counter madi's accusation of killing flint reinforces this. i think madi, like the audience, chooses what to believe in order to move forward. and i think silver asking for her belief so that they can move forward together reifies that which he has just tried to kill in flint - asking for the belief of a lie to further a selfish (if sympathetic) end.

and yet! i keep going to back to the foundational logic of the show: if you don't see the body, then they're not dead. i would love to believe that's true for flint, but, in the context of flint's possible-but-unseen death, i see this less as proof that flint is alive more than i see it as the show using its own form and logic to introduce metatextual questions and, in a way, break the fourth wall: the story asking us to decide what we think is real, and then each of us creating our own meaning from that.

so, for me, ultimately there's what i want to be real (flint alive and kicking it with his boyfriend on a farm in savannah) and what i think is more likely real (flint dead and buried at sea, living on as legend instead of as a threat or a martyr). and, in the spirit of black sails, i'm not sure that what i want to be real and what i think is real are totally mutually exclusive. or, put a different way, i feel like i can hold both possible endings and find more truth and richness in both possibilities existing together.

do i think flint was reunited with thomas hamilton? yes, i think he was, i'm just not convinced it was while either of them were alive.

why are scholarly articles about the 1899 newsboy strike so hard to find? this is totally not a niche subject that relatively few people are interested in 🤦🏻‍♀️

[iamthelegman]

Can we fucking normalize giving sources again?!

[innocet]

Truly nothing hits like dr who straightbaiting. You’ve got no social pressure to insist that these relationships are platonic while also having them say in the text that they’re in love with each other. you’re just doing it for the love of the game

Best post on why Moash deserved better from @basket-of-radiants

Gathering my Mormon-Cosmere posts so I can pin them: Starter list

Yazad as Ammon Mormon Doctrine that spiritual and temporal laws are linked annnnd I just found the best article on Mormon themes I have ever read, after months of trawling the internet for this kind of stuff. May or may not add. Depends on how much thinking about these things keeps me up at night.

I love looking over someone's blog and trying to figure out if they're an earnest person who can be talked to and is actually curious or someone who is like, 19 and right about everything. (i also was never incorrect at 19, it's just the time)

Anyway, if you want to read a very very good book about the actual history of the hamburger, I really recommend Josh Ozersky's Hamburger: A History. He does have his little annoying tics, but his history is good--the man was a history doctorate and a food writer--and I think it would provide some clarity on the question.

In short, Germany invented the hamburger in the way India invented tikka masala.

Italian is a racial category now??????

"we need a new D'eon bio" I agree and tbh at this point you should be the one writing it

Tragically I don’t speak French and I live in Australia.

How.....do you write smut
