“[T]housands of years of course changes compressed into a single image by a clever mapmaker with an artistic eye. Looking at them, you're invited to imagine the Mississippi as it was during the European exploration of the Americas in the 1500s, during the Cahokia civilization in the 1200s (when this city's population matched London's), when the first humans came upon the river more than 12,000 years ago, and even back to before humans, when mammoths, camels, dire wolves, and giant beavers roamed the land and gazed upon the river…”

there's a lot of minion hate out there but name one other film franchise with such a brave approach to #esperanto #representation
Il y a quelques jours j'ai regardé Multiverse (2019), un petit film de SF sans trop de prétention qui parle, comme son nom l'indique, d'univers parallèles.
Dans ce film, une des protagonistes et sa mère sont sourdes. Ça m'a agréablement surpris·e de voir un film qui, sans que ce soit le sujet principal, mette en avant ce #handicap.
Another little zoom in on our results ⬆️ :
Cognitive #representation. What is it? We don't know. But we do make an important interpretative claim on the basis of our observations:
Representation = the 'stuff' of deliberation.
Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) of representational content weakens it.
Hence, more RIF gives rise to less deliberation.
Representation seems to me the most fitting way to account for these results, but interested to hear other takes.

I would wager that 99.44% of you wouldn't last a month of consuming those stories with the same degree of interest and ardour that you consume #PopCulture. It's too alien. It's literally #alienating to you. There may be some intrigue that drives interest for a while, but that will peter out into confusion and ennui in no time flat.
That's why there's that call for #representation and that's why stories are generally in a setting that's familiar.
There's a term for that: status quo.
(🧵 5/n)
This is why there is so much noise over #representation: it's hard to feel like you're part of something if everybody in it looks, talks, and behaves differently from you.
Try this experiment (likely a #ThoughtExperiment): Watch/read/whatever nothing but ancient #Chinese dramas for a month. Where everybody is named "weirdly" (and "confusingly" to boot!), where how they behave is alien and strange, and where everything they say seems unnatural to your ears (even in translation).

Uncovering #GenderAffirming #HealthCare’s #Long and #Complicated #History.
It’s been nearly 60 years since the first transgender medical clinic opened in the U.S.
Understanding the history of these treatments in the U.S. can be a helpful guide for citizens and legislators in a year when a record number of bills in statehouses target the rights of transgender people.

I'm teaching Gayatri Spivak's "Can the Subaltern Speak?" this spring, and I wrote up an explainer on it for my students -- and for any of you who might be interested.

@clarebee exactly! That's when you realize that #representation matters, and twice as much. #Diversity but also demonstrations of #solidarity and courage, #empathy and decency. #Trollfarms and #bots will systematically seek to undermine people's faith in #humanity, ensuring they prove everything and everyone is shit (therefore, don't bother doing anything to change the status quo). That picture and the actions of these men remind us #humanity does exist & is worth fighting for. #Lineker.
Still watching “Next in Fashion” while I clean house today.
Props to the show runners for including a plus-size female model at all, but especially in the swimsuit episode. All bodies can be beautiful.
But I gotta ask: Where are all the husky fellas?
They are representing plus-size women in fashion today, but Dad-bod and husky men are seldom part of high fashion.
Inclusion is inclusion. It’s not just about big beautiful ladies, it’s all types. #representation #nextinfashion #nextinfashion2

Digitale Kunstgeschichte ist nicht immun gegen #Bias. So sind manche Kulturen im digitalen Raum unterrepräsentiert und es ist wichtig, dieses Problem für eine gerechtere und diversere Darstellung der Kunstgeschichte anzugehen.

Ultimately, there is only 1 person who can unite the progressive vote for #Labour & that is #Keir #Starmer. The way to do it is by being #progressive; taking my #vote for granted will not work.

I’ve lived in #DC, #Maine, #Thailand, and #Melbourne, but #Richmond, #Virginia is my home.
I’m a #womenintech. I think a lot about #diversity and #representation in #media, #education, and #publishing (and everywhere else).
Alum of #williamandmary, #urichmond, #upenn, #saltinstitute, and #americorps.
I'm always excited to talk about #books, #movies, #podcasts, #creativeprojects, #rockclimbing, #nature, #poetry, #travel, #art, #cooking, #cocktails, #RVA, and/or cool #octopus facts. (2/2)
@toolbear This discussion around how the statue of #HenriettaLacks isn't a substitution for the #reparations owed to Lacks family actually makes me think of a training on #RacialCapitalism I attended with Francisco Pérez ( @Platanomics on other platforms), Executive Director of the Center for Popular Economics.
Perez made a compelling argument that although symbolic victories aren't a substitution for reparations, they can be really important for increasing awareness and shaping #policy interventions that get us towards the goal of systemic and economic repair
He also has a great series on the limits of #BlackCapitalism

Curious to hear from #BlackMastodon and #BlackTwitter what their take is on whether #representation has a place and how it can be leveraged to produce systemic policy change
My face after spending hours looking for and not finding Hanukkah candles…
[Thread] 1/11
Having moved to Colorado a few months ago I still have a few boxes packed. Thinking that by Hanukkah I would have found my menorah but got super busy and ended up not getting to it in time.
