I always tell my partner I can diy that for a fraction of the price. I never promise the denominator will be the bigger number though.

Personally I think they would be fine if they limited them to one a month or so, but it's turned into spam I block them now

I needed this laugh! 😂

How much progress have we made on climate change? YouTube video by Simon Clark

This is a great video that can sum up climate change and how we are doing on preventing and reversing it. 🧪

Curious has anyone else noticed the Nextdoor app being used to push right wing propaganda? I've noticed if I argue well enough they will delete the comment I reply to in order to delete all my comments. So I just started to @ them in the main thread. A lot of them seem to be moderators #nextdoor

Yeah Illinois did get a bit too close for comfort this year. I agree especially when it comes to purple to mildly blue/red states. Unfortunately some states are gerrymandered to the point of almost no hope for one party. I don't think it's an excuse to not vote. It sucks a handful of states decide.

I am primarily focusing on supporting small businesses. I also ask the business if they support the current administration before I shop with them. Personally doing everything I can to not support fascists. The more we confront the problem the less likely it is to persist. Just do it respectfully.

Here is a great resource to check your state's laws on protecting democracy. If you don't like any of the missing policies call your state government and make it known. The integrity of our elections is going to be something we absolutely need to protect.

To be fair a large portion of that group has a tough time voting because the system is stacked against them. Voter prevention is a huge game that is played in politics. Rank choice voting would increase voter turn out tremendously. The electoral college is one giant voter suppression.

His supporters are the ones that wear Veteran as a badge Everytime they leave the house too. It's their identity usually on a hat or shirt. It's rarely the ones you only know they are a veteran because you happened to see them in uniform one time either heading to base or a service.

When we win this fight we need to have a plan in place for how to ensure checks and balances actually work. We need to end the electoral college and institute term limits for any non elected position. Gerrymandering needs to be addressed. And upper age limits need to be placed on Congress. #optimism

Thanks for sharing my starter pack! I am glad you like it.

To every woman who feels overlooked or unheard—Women’s History Month is a reminder of your strength and worth. Together, we move forward in solidarity.

On a lot of progressive ideas Republicans agree with us if they don't know who said it. It doesn't matter what ideals we run on when they are glued to one news source that is backing fascism and demonizing anyone that is against it. AOC is like the most pro American working class and they hate her.

Screen shot of the abstract and public significance statement. The abstract reads as follows: Confronting prejudice is a promising strategy for reducing intergroup bias. The current meta-analysis estimated the effects of confronting prejudice on intergroup bias in the confronted person and examined the impact of potential moderators. Eligible studies measured intergroup bias in participants confronted versus not confronted for intergroup bias. A three-level mixed-effects analysis on 91 effect sizes found a significant, medium-sized effect of confronting prejudice on reducing intergroup bias (g+ = 0.54). There was only limited evidence of publication bias. Confrontation was differentially effective at reducing different types of intergroup bias with a medium-to-large effect on using or endorsing stereotypes, small-tomedium effects on behavior and behavioral intentions, and no significant effects on cognitive prejudice. Effects were otherwise largely robust to differences in confrontation, sample, and study design characteristics. Yet, studies predominantly focused on whether confronting the use of stereotypes reduced subsequent use of stereotypes in artificial settings, and primarily sampled U.S.-based, young, White adults, making it difficult to generalize effects to other forms of intergroup bias and populations, particularly in realworld settings. Studies also tended to measure intergroup bias immediately after confrontation, so the duration of effects over longer periods is less clear. To better evaluate the potential of confrontation as a prejudice reduction technique, future research should examine whether confronting prejudice reduces different forms of intergroup bias in more diverse participant samples and settings, over longer periods, and further test theoretical mediators of these effects.

Really pleased that our meta-analysis on prejudice confrontation (with @lilitou.bsky.social) has now been published in Psychological Bulletin. We find that confronting prejudice is an effective bias reduction technique (but there is more research to be done!): doi.org/10.1037/bul0...

This is the stem of most issues. Corporations are buying up all the houses, they hire and take advantage of the "illegals". If we start holding them accountable instead of everyone they are taking advantage of we would live in a golden age.

Tomorrow would be the day to cancel subscriptions also. They see that and mass canceling recurring things such as Amazon Prime will make a statement

The president is over here napping while he lets Elon run the country.

to send live video to people with a platform to show our true size. And keep these live streams covering the protests. We live in a digital age and protesting is great, but people are looking to see these protests online and we have to make sure they are visible.

People are protesting where they can. Some in state capitals. Our country is giant though so it's hard to see the entire protests at once. What we need to do is get an organized live stream or multiple live streams with people at each protest across the nation. Organization here is key and we need

When we win this fight we need to make sure we choose leaders that don't sit around using inaction as a tactic. We need fighters like @aoc.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social get the rest out and replace them with people that will fight for the people!

A lot of people act like the constitution is a flawless document. Unfortunately it is not. They set up a great foundation, but even our founding fathers expected us to update it with the times. A lot of them were suggesting it be rewritten every 20 years, but it was expected for each generation.
