My various social media feeds are filled with diehard Taylor Swift fans criticising her new album, and l fear we may be on the brink of global economic meltdown. Is this how Mad Max starts?

<em>Journal of Marriage and Family</em> | NCFR Family Science Journal | Wiley Online Library Objective We investigate whether differences in the length of premarital cohabitation, children from previous unions, and childbearing in the union explain the elevated divorce risk observed in fema.....

Lesbian couples have 2.2X the divorce risk compared to heterosexual couples and 1.6X compared to gay male couples. Lesbians' higher divorce risk is partly explained by the fact that they tend to live together for a shorter period of time before marriage. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too.

Sorry, but fuck that.

Happy to publish today in the @ejprjournal.bsky.social

😱 3 Grad mehr bis 2050?! Dann würden große Teile der Welt unbewohnbar. Was löst diese Warnung der Wissenschaft an Reaktionen aus? 🤷

Cover of the 2025 EAT–Lancet report, featuring an image of a person scooping up green vegetables in their hands from a large plate. The report quote: “The targets of the EAT–Lancet Commission for healthy people on a healthy planet with just food systems can only be met through concerted global action and unprecedented levels of transformative change.”

The world produces enough food, yet billions lack access to healthy & sustainable diets. A new EAT–Lancet report presents a science-based approach to improve health, safeguard our environment & provide for a projected 9.6 billion people by 2050.

Is there a need for domain-specificity when studying mental health (MH) and politics? In our study in the Netherlands, we find political mental health (PMH) is distinct from MH & has unique political correlates, from polarization to ideological extremism.

Verschwörungserzählungen - Gefährliche Klimamythen Verschwörungsmythen um Chemtrails, einen Great Reset, QAnon und HAARP leugnen den Klimawandel oder machen „Eliten“ verantwortlich. Warum glauben Menschen das?

Laut Pew Research Center glaubten 2022 39% aller erw. US-Amerikaner, „dass wir in der Endzeit leben“. Das hat Folgen für den Klimaschutz. Rechte Prediger behaupten, es sei Gottes Wille, fossile Ressourcen zu plündern. Hatte in diesem Feature mit @ardenthistorian.bsky.social darüber gesprochen:

Texas Tech chancellor directs faculty to recognize only two sexes in classroom instruction The memo comes after Texas A&M fired a professor over a lesson related to gender identity after a student objected to it.

Before I turn on @npr.org again or read another @nytimes.com editorial, because I know exactly how it'll be:

This isn't "a threat" to academic freedom. It's not igniting "a debate" about it. The "future" of academic freedom isn't at stake. This is what the end of academic freedom has made possible.
