Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Almost four years. I'll post a bio now, thanks for the advice! Still figuring out BlueSky :)

I hadn't thought of this, that's a great idea! I actually do have access at A&M as an alumnus, but only if I go on campus to the library itself, which is what I'll probably start doing periodically to grab the paywalled articles I want for my independent research.

Thank you! I'll check out all of these!

Thank you, I read a book by Thich Nhat Hanh a while back and got a lot out of it. I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation! And, the more prayers the better, please do! I'm 3 and a half years sober, so not struggling in that way atm, but like everyone, I have my daily struggles.

This is very helpful, thank you!

Are there any good feeds for #addiction or #recovery here? I'm not seeing any with more than just a few followers....

The American Sociological Association is collapsing and its organization is a perpetual stagnation machine I was elected to improve ASA and I failed.

" ....the association further committing to its reliance on paywalled journal publishing and the profit-maximizing contract with Sage, and opposing efforts to open access to research for the public.: from familyinequality.wordpress.com/2021/03/28/t....

Does anyone else interested in reading sociology think it's ironic that the ASA still paywalls articles, while so many other journals have become completely open access? Asking for a friend...lol
