- Oh yes. We already know the typical symptoms of girls versus boys but for some reason they don't raise such awareness among experts. Maybe girls don't cause as much trouble for adults as boys do, they just suffer in silence, so adults are not so alarmed?

- Reposted by Maija TervolaI’m furious at AI because it steals our work, consumes vast resources and produces mediocrity, but along the way it also traumatises the people - mainly in the developing world - who are paid a pittance to train it. Theft, abuse, environmental destruction, all to make rich men richer. Burn it all.

- Reposted by Maija TervolaThe word "tea" is still used for the drink, of course, but as a meal it's dinner. If you're invited to a British person's house at around 6pm for "tea", it could easily look like this!
- ”Studies have suggested that when people with aphantasia attempt to imagine something, they activate the visual cortex in ways similar to that seen in control individuals.” It seems that the difference is more in ”how literally you interpret the concept ’mental imaginery” than in cognitive process.

- Reposted by Maija TervolaMy hot take about the “students cannot read whole novels / watch whole films / etc.” is that they can learn to do it. None of us are born with attention spans suited for long media. It is a learned skill and can be developed with practice.

- Reposted by Maija TervolaHauser, Chomsky and Fitch 2002 is one of the most cited papers in linguistics. Hauser has since been found guilty of research misconduct. Chomsky told his racist, slave-trading, child-raping friend that he thought MeToo had gone too far. Maybe it‘s time for better role models.

- ”Hoitoon pääsyssä naiset jäävät takamatkalla, sillä useissa sairauksissa naisten diagnoosi ja hoito käynnistyvät keskimäärin vuosia myöhemmin kuin miesten. Tällä on merkittäviä vaikutuksia myös kansantalouteen työkyvyn, tuottavuuden ja terveydenhuollon kustannusten kautta.” 😑
