After applying to 4 universities, I received 3 offers—RMIT, CSU, and ECU. I’ve decided to go with CSU as their honours and masters programs are fully online. Since I’m also interested in sociology, I’ll be starting with the Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology). The best part? I only need to study for just over 12 months because I received credit for several subjects from my previous studies.
I start next week with Foundations of Psychology 1 and 2. I already have access to the materials, and it looks absolutely amazing. Many of the concepts feel familiar since they align closely with neuroscience. Thank you all for your well wishes as I explore this new direction!

“You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.”
When people call you a “snowflake” just remember they're quoting Fight Club.
Fight Club.
A satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society, and become radicalized. And that Tyler Durden isn't the hero but a personification of the main character's mental illness.
His “snowflake” speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people.

Can #typos make lies seem less deceptive or make true statements seem less true?
“true statements with grammatical errors and unusual word choices were seen as more deceitful, and lie statements with the same language were seen as less deceptive” and “I discovered a new brain response that is sensitive to the difference between perceived truths and lies.”

When doom scrolling leads to actual harm
For 8 months, images and videos of the carnage in Gaza have been flooding social media. They give a powerful view of what's happening on the ground – but they also have the potential to cause vicarious trauma.Sana Qadar (ABC listen)
new essay! not only debunks "trans social contagion" & "gr00ming" charges, but shows how they're linked, and explains the unconscious thinking behind both anti-trans campaigners' obsession with us & the TERF-to-fascist pipeline.
no paywall link, pls share & give it lots of "claps" (up to 50) so other ppl see it!

Anti-Trans “Grooming” and “Social Contagion” Claims Explained
