Book cover for "Feminism in the Wild: How Human Biases Shape our Understanding of Animal Behavior" by Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer. The top half of the cover has a photo of lions on the savanna under a cloudy sky, with the title "Feminism" in white letters. The lower half of the cover is an off-white color, with "In the Wild" in the same font but in black letters, with the subtitle in grey below it, and the author names in black text below.

Time for a book review! My next review is Feminism in the Wild: How Human Biases Shape our Understanding of Animal Behavior, by biologist Ambika Kamath, and feminist scholar Melina Packer. (1/9)

Biblioteken förväntas erbjuda allt – men får inget Läskrisen är ett faktum, men biblioteken får allt mindre stöd.

"Det paradoxala är att alla verkar eniga om målet att fler ska läsa – men ingen vill betala för infrastrukturen som gör det möjligt." @somar.bsky.social sammanfattar bibliotekskrisen i sin ledarkrönika i @etc.se i dag. Den ska ni ta del av!

I was honoured to take part in the FDA's panel on the risks of SSRIs in pregnancy yesterday along with other experts @fda.gov. This is a huge issue with so many young women taking these drugs. I hope the UK and other countries will listen to the evidence presented www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nha...

Antidepressant Withdrawal: Nothing to Worry About? Recent reviews claim antidepressant withdrawal is clinically insignificant, but they are based on flawed and short-term studies. Minimizing withdrawal problems is worrying.

"Gier kennt keinen Sättigungspunkt, da ihre Befriedigung die innere Leere, Langeweile, Einsamkeit und Depression, die sie zu überwinden sucht, nicht ausfüllt. (Erich Fromm)"

Read 'The Sane Society' by Erich Fromm.

“The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same forms of mental pathology does not make these people sane.”

— Erich Fromm

My question with the aerial view of the homes in Detroit is this: how many of the homes in that view are habitable, how many are inhabited, and how many are under restoration?
