MBTI has been proven completely ineffective at predicting anyone’s success at a particular job, and half the people who take it twice will get different results. Reputable psychologists do not recognize it, and the company that owns the rights to it uses it to scam people. People don’t adhere to strict binaries in basically anything. Very few people are going to be exclusively introverted or extroverted. It’s just astrology repackaged as pseudoscience. Shockingly enough, you can’t boil the complexity of the human experience down to a dozen Types of Guy.

The concept of IQ is flawed from the start— “intelligence” is an abstract concept that encompasses many different skills, from social intelligence to emotional intelligence to the very narrow kind of problem solving intelligence IQ tests generally measure for. It cannot predict how fast you learn, how much you know, or how logical and well read you are. It mostly measures how good you are at solving puzzles. Coincidentally, it’s also a pretty good predictor of income and education level, take a guess why. Most people’s IQ will change throughout their lives, because it’s inconsistent bullshit we’ve only held onto this long because we’re still kinda hoping we can breed the ubermensch. IQ tests and the way they attempt to categorize people are explicitly eugenicist and racist.

BMI was developed by a man known as the grandfather of eugenics, who first of all was a mathematician, not a doctor, and second never intended the formula to be used to categorize individuals. It’s intended to give a rough estimate of obesity in populations, and it’s not even good at that. It hangs around because of fatphobia and insurance companies who want it as an excuse to charge fat people more.

The study which determined people’s prefrontal cortex was still developing at 25… stopped measuring at 25. Evidence suggests your brain probably never stops developing. Stop infantilizing grown adults. This is a branch off from the larger mess of misinformation surrounding fMRIs.

Hello everyone! As a musician (Ground Sloth Orchestra) with majority of streams from Spotify I highly support the Union of Musician.

Our demands: - Pay us at least one cent per stream - Adopt a user-centric payment model - Make all closed-door contracts public - Reveal existing payola, then end it altogether - Credit all labor in recordings - End legal battles intended to further impoverish artists

the louisville community bail fund is also reputable, but there are some issues with them getting the money from action network, so you might want to donate to bail project louisville instead

On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.

No, it’s not enough, but this is only the beginning. Keep fighting!!!

That link didnt work for me or others try this one lemme know if its broken too.

Miss Major is still alive donate if you can if not at least share.

In April, unfortunately, my dad contracted COVID-19 and experienced difficulty breathing which eventually lead to intubation. He called me, in Indiana, before he went under anesthesia, and within 48 hours, with the help of my sisters in Australia, I was across the street from his hospital in Philadelphia. He was released after a week in the hospital, but he kept experiencing shortness of breath. So, we went back to the hospital and they quickly re-admitted him, revealing that his condition was deteriorating and required a trach. He's been there ever since; he tested positive for COVID a second time.

I ask for any donation, no matter how small, to help my dad during this time. With him in the hospital, his rent, water, electricity, and insurance bills continue to accumulate with not enough to pay within the coming weeks. I am a medical scribe but due to COVID, our doctors and company did not wish to put us in danger and discontinued our shifts indefinitely. I flew almost 600 miles to be of service to my dad, but all I feel is uselessness.

If you can, if it is within your ability (even $1), please help us reach our goal so that my dad can still have a place to come back to and heal in.

It also very specifically addresses a number of myths regarding teargas treatments in a way I think might be better than the CDC which doesn't really spend any of time on them. In activist circles, there's a lot of beliefs that get passed around and I think it's good to specifically address them.

Here's a link:

NEVER LET THEM INSIDE YOUR HOME. NEVER GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO ENTER. I DO NOT CARE THAT YOU THINK THERE IS NOTHING INCRIMINATING IN YOUR HOUSE. NEVER, EVER ALLOW THEM ENTRANCE INTO YOUR HOME.

if they do not have a warrant, you do not need to answer. ignore them. do not respond. do not open the door. they are supposed to leave if they do not get a response.

however, odds are they won’t leave right away. or some scenario will come up that will force you to respond (ie, a family member is coming home soon and you don’t want them to be harassed). in this case, THRU THE DOOR ask them what they want, who they are, what precinct they are with. call the precinct and confirm their identities before having any form of dialogue with them.

if they ask to come in, SAY NO. you are allowed to speak to them without ever opening the door. if you are worried they may try to force their way in, speak to them outside. shut the door behind you. some recommend speaking to them with the chain still on your door but opened slightly, however I would hesitate at allowing any view into your home for an extended period of time, especially if you are not the only one home.

if they say you are a suspect in a crime, say you cannot speak to them without legal counsel, and that you do not give them permission to enter your home. do not speak any more than necessary. it doesn’t matter if you aren’t under arrest, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. go back inside. as soon as you are back inside, contact a lawyer.

if they say they are following up on a crime committed in your neighborhood, say you do not know anything and cannot be of assistance. go back inside.

if they say they are here because of dog barks, loud music, etc. Try to solve the issue asap, both for your own safety and the safety of your neighbors.

here is a link abt your rights when a police officer comes to your home

If they claim to have a warrant, demand to see it. inspect it as quickly as you can

“Look for a seal from the local, state or federal government or a law enforcement office. For example, if it is a federal warrant from the U.S. Department of Justice, the official department seal will be stamped on the warrant.

Check the warrant for elements common to search warrants.

Although the rules may differ slightly by state, generally, search warrants contain the date and time of issuance, specific identify of the property to be seized, and the name or a specific description of the person or place to be searched. Additionally, the warrant will contain the time or event required for the warrant to be executed, the title of the office issuing the warrant, and a listing of the probable cause required to obtain the warrant.

Call the court where the issuing official is stationed. Tell the court officer that you want to verify the authenticity of a search warrant being served to you.”

Contact nearby family/friends and inform them of what is going on. Contact an attorney as soon as possible (before the officers leave). Document names and badge numbers of anyone in your home. Record what they are doing.

If they ask for permission to open anything, say no. If they tell you to open something, ask if it is required by law/the search warrant. The warrant will specify what they are allowed to search. Do not allow them access to anything else. If the warrant is for your yard, do not allow them in your house. If the warrant is for your house, do not allow them in your shed.

Once, she blamed liking anti-transgender statuses on Twitter as an error, dubbing it a “Clumsy and Middle-Aged Moment.” Despite fans catching the 53 year old in the act of putting her stamp of approval on trans hate once again, she thumbed her nose at the backlash.

Rowling eagerly co-signed the Anti-Trans attacks launched by notorious The Times journalist Janice Turner.

While the LGBT community and our allies have stood back and watched a rather ominous narrative form around JK Rowling, it has been without any direct confirmation or statement from the author herself. It’s as if she is conditioning the world to accept it rather than rebuke it. First she stuck her toe in the water, was caught, claimed it was a misunderstanding and we accepted that. Then, she persisted to do the same things… again and again.

Finally, we have some confirmation of Rowling’s stance against the transgender community. She has followed one of the most hateful and aggressive anti-trans radical feminists on Twitter, Magdalen Berns.
