one of the consistent mistakes is that many of the concepts in these studies are treated as if they are empirical (like mindblindness or empathy) when they are taken as givens....too much of what passes as psychology is really philosophy of mind (like the sally ann test etc)

Norm Pusher This follows a bit from the last post in terms of being about assumptions regarding the social (and neuronormativity).

Social, Anti-Social, Parasocial There’s some fun narratives out there that trans people and sometimes autistic people invented the internet.

Lots of people talking about the kinds of possibilities that #DavidLynch opened up...for me it wasn't the surreal or artistic ones that mattered the most but the fact that he shattered so many presumptions about high vs low art...I cannot imagine watching a Lynch film in anything but a filthy seat

fuck.

Trying to fine international groups that are interested in anti-fascist work...too many of them in Europe are closed systems, black boxes, and seem only interested in tracking what the altright is doing rather than constructing counter moves with @hopenothate being one exception
