"The histories of many disciplines, including biology, anthropology and psychology, are tarnished with racism and eugenics, and reticence to teach science that exposes biological ‘race’ as a myth may result from embarrassment about these histories, for fear of putting students off."

I was in search of an affordable good quality shampoo and I decided to read some reviews from customers on the webpage selling them. Not a bright idea. People confused the effect of hard water on the hair with the shampoo effect and it wasn't helpful. Oh, well, trial and error it is.

One of my fears is that, with the way the press chooses to present the situation in Ceuta, in a very MAGA style, we here in Sweden might end up with another iteration of the current government after the September elections, but this time with the far-righters in the government.

"Having made enlargement a cornerstone of its foreign policy, Brussels now faces a test in the coming months. It must prove that it has an adequate allocation of resources to match its political commitment." www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

"Despite the concerted effort of academics to teach students that race is not biological, in wider society this lesson remains stubbornly unlearned. Something appears to be blocking communication." www.cambridge.org/core/blog/20...

What are the chances that the line might lead to some involvement by russia in the migrant push in Ceuta? russia has quite some military presence in Africa and operatives and has been known to push migrants and refugees to the gates of Europe before (e.g., to Finland, to Poland).

Some interactions in health care, see complex chronic illness, feel more like passing through a court where you have to prove that you are not guilty and that you should be believed, combined with a job interview regarding your steps to make yourself healthy. It's an absurd blame the patient game.

The Trump clan are leaving a trail of corruption and destruction of democracy wherever they direct their pillaging interests, what they call "business". The Jivankas are trying to destroy a natural reservation in Albania in order to make a resort for the very rich. youtube.com/shorts/SW7v7....

Some years ago, I gifted my partner a perfume called Matcha Meditation (Maison Margiela). He didn't open it for years, wanted to save it. He finally opened it today, used it, and the whole house smells like one of the tea houses I liked in Kyoto: matcha, white chocolate, and delicate citrus flowers.

These days, my body is gifting me hypoxia when I am showering. Blue nail beds although it is hot in the house and the shower is at (partner's) body temperature. This is a "small reward" for insisting to go out and do some small walks, precisely how a puppy you've wronged leaves you a 💩 on the mat.

From time to time I see comments from able bodied under posts from people who are disabled and who are bedbound or housebound that call these vulnerable people "keyboard warriors" and mock them for "not doing real change in the community". 🤦‍♀️ I find this people ableist till the bone & I block them.

Always reinventing the wheel: study finds that fatigue-related physical exhaustion and cognitive complaints caused by long covid did not improved after psychotherapy. Neither do cancer or diabetes, but you do not push psychotherapy as cure there. Fatigue due to illness is not independent of illness.

"Fatigue-related physical exhaustion and cognitive complaints were the most prominent symptoms. No significant efficacy of the psychotherapeutic group intervention over TAU was observed for SSS-8 [] comparing post-treatment outcomes in the IG with post-waiting outcomes in the CG."

In Sweden, the current government apparently woke up to the need to combat misinformation and disinformation and the head of this is a guy (Bohlin) who gladly participated to a podcast of a guy literally sponsored by the Kremlin. Current government is no stranger to MAGA-like strategies, too.

Dear old Terry Pratchett was so right about reactive ultraconservatives: "'Ah,' said Mr Pin. 'Right. You are concerned citizens.' He knew about "concerned citizens". Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'."

Eons ago, when Acne Studios had decent prices and decent quality clothing, I was purchasing from them now and again, especially during sales. Roughly 10 years ago, they started ramping up prices and lowering the quality and these days are more about status than quality and wearability. That's sad.

Does Kash Patel know that Moscow is not Valhalla and putin is just a small and cruel tyrant and not Odin?

Equally good day to remind people that there is such a thing as dynamic disability. This means that, if you saw someone coping one day or being able to walk a bit, doesn't mean that these abilities will be there in a couple of hours or next day. Many people experience good days and (very) bad days.
