#Gossip - it’s something most humans do, yet it has a questionable reputation. I took a deep dive look into it, and wrote an essay: “In Defense of Gossip”. Turns out that Gossip plays an important role in sorting out our social standing, and you’ll be surprised at where it actually came from. It’s a four minute read, max. Check it out. #essay #socialscience #communication #societies #SocialRanking https://medium.com/an-idea/in-defense-of-gossip-278668d7339f

Americans, by and large, have stopped trusting science. One chemist thinks he has identified a big part of the problem — scientists. Christopher Reddy says the scientific community is failing to help Americans understand science, particularly environmental disasters and medical emergencies. The Guardian has more.

New instance means I copy-paste my #introduction from my previous instance lol. So here’s my #intro!
I’m Bryn, (she/her, 25) and I live in the greater Pittsburgh area! I’m a #bisexual, #polyamorous #trans girl with a passion for #electronics, #music (especially #indie), and human interaction, i.e. #communication. I’m happiest when I’m among friends, lovers, or just other people in general!
I was a team lead in customer facing tech support for a home security company, but I gave that up after facing major #burnout. Now, I’m taking a few months to recuperate while my partners keep me alive, and I’m looking to start a #freelance #branding and #WebDesign co-op with one of said partners!
This account is not professional; I post #nsfw content on occasion. I spent too much of my life without confidence to let my newfound beauty go to waste! :blobcat_coy: This content will always be hidden behind a content warning, of course!
Definitely follow me if you like cute girls, relationship anarchy, free open-source software, or any combination thereof! Boosts are also very much appreciated, but please give higher priority to mutual aid requests and the like.
My personal website can be found here!

Although people may initially react to you speaking honesty, your honesty has the potential to raise the relationship to a whole new and healthier level.
When I changed the way I was by daring to speaking honestly to my mother, I could not have forseen or controlled my mother's reaction.
The relationship would grow, either that, or release me from the unhealthy and toxic relationship in my life, my mother.
She said, "Drop it", and so I have.

Reading the History of Stand-Up Comedy by Wayne Federman, I learned that broadcast radio played an enormous role in the evolution of the performance art, distributing voice over space to communicate premises, setups, and punchlines.
An audio-only medium of the 20th century is what we now call podcasts, voice memos to group chats, and (apparently) Twitter Spaces - when they work.
Hi Everyone! I cover two key tips in this short 5.5 minute video: writing better #email subject lines that not only are more likely to be opened, but are more likely to be acted upon in a timely manner, and 2. my recommendations for "code wording" the subject lines of truly #urgent e-mails while also backing up that e-mail with a second form of #communication -- namely a phone call and/or text message.

We also hear from Sarah at Eden Animal Rescue why volunteers are so important to helping them do their work, & Judith explains how giving employees time to volunteer helps the individual & benefits the employer.

I'm a huge proponent of social media because I've had the benefit of watching healthy cultural changes happen at a granular level on variety of platforms for a decade and a half. This story is a great example of the sort of thing I track:

#DNA is not a #blueprint describing the #structure or the #function of an #organism.
It is rather a #recipe (an algorithm) that describes (#control) the #process of #construction, i.e. specifies what #action the #constructor has to perform at any moment depending on the constructor’s own #state and that of its #environment.
The #function of the #organism is defined by its #structure as constructed by following the #DNA algorithm. Besides the functions involved in this process of self-construction and maintenance, a mature organism is also involved in the #production of #artifacts (messages, seeds) for dissemination (#communication) in the environment.
An email is never just an email…
Courtesy, personalization, and basic #communication principles still apply.
You make an impression (good or bad) regardless of the channel you use.

I know they say video is so, SO important on social platforms, but honestly? if I'm going to click on a video & take the time to watch it, you'd better give me a damn good idea that it'll be worth it - and no, the "first 8 seconds" or whatever won't catch me either; I ALWAYS disable autoplay.

If you have a video that conveys some information and doesn't provide any other value than conveying information, there is absolutely no reason for that video to exist. All of it could be conveyed via a blog post. Or give me a transcript. I can very easily get through a transcript of a video in less than five minutes for something that could take 30-45 minutes of my time.
We see a return of #soundMoney as one of the few thing that can help us to stop the speculation and abject pollution and waste in our current economic system.

General comment (have not read that)..
Totally plausible. But it sounds equivalent to feelings or #emotions. These are (or should be considered, IMO) a language in their own right.
I'd say that we are not all equally fluent in this #language, for sure. In fact, it's the interpretation of these, combined with the need to share them with others in suitable ways, that drives the initial motivation for another, more formal language, as well as the inherent discrepancies that occur in #communication.
So I'd probably modify the "symbolic mapping onto mother tongue" description as a social alignment of these individual-yet-shared states through higher forms of communication, especially going away from "now", where feelings tend to dominate, to the juxtaposition of the past & future, where we need extended reasoning to anticipate future emotional needs*, and how we might best ensure them.
This level of #complexity is not possible with (logographic) symbolism, which generally comes in ~1:1 ratios to meaning, such as #numbers do. This framing also harmonizes with several other schools of thought, from Fast/Slow Thinking, to Incompleteness.
*I include eating there, even though it might be seen as physical. Reason being that hunger is an emotion (interconnected to others too) that signals a need.
The FCC Is Supposed to Protect the Environment. It Doesn’t.

"Since the late twentieth century, letters in #literature have seen a remarkable renaissance. The prominence of #letters in recent #fiction is due in part to the rediscovery, by contemporary #writers, of letters as an effective tool for rendering aspects of #historicity, #liminality, #marginalization and the expression of #subjectivity vis-à-vis an 'other'; it is also due, however, to the artistically challenging inclusion of the new electronic #media of #communication into fiction."

We have an open channel of #communication and we can provide examples to get that naked IP address fully clothed in a human-friendly #DNS record.
If, as Ursula Le Guin argues in Telling Is Listening, human #communication is #intersubjective and mutual, and involves a continuous interchange between two (or more) consciousnesses - like what happens when amoebas have sex ... what exactly is going on when we communicate with #AI / #SALAMI chatbots that simulate a conscious partner in communication but neither understand their own utterances nor accept and learn from interchange with a user?

Research shows that people don't say "um" and "uh" because of nervousness.
Instead, one reason people say "um" and "uh" is that it tells listeners you want to keep talking.
The amazing thing is that we don't use them nearly as much when we're talking to a computer, like Siri, or when we're giving a formal talk—because we don't expect to be interrupted!
