Culture and society

The alleged “war on men” and the decline in sex among younger people. Building ways into educational processes to address loneliness. How education became a vast financial market in the United States. Christians debate dumping the word “missionary” and its colonialist associations. Fighting and succumbing to Tolkien’s Rings racism. How violent rhetoric leads to violence.

Twitter R.I.P.

I’ve ditched Twitter. I’ve kept my account online because I’ve had problems with impersonators in the past (seriously, who would want to impersonate me? Don’t they know I already have impostor syndrome?) and there are some people I mainly reach via DM, but I barely look at it — and when I do, it’s mainly to keep up with some friends in the Twin Peaks community and for high-quality dog content.
