That I can read and pronounce all three of these automatically (as "sight words") definitely says a thing about me that might not be good but that I am prepared to own.

@APA_Style If I end a sentence with a question mark inside parentheses, do I also put a period outside? It's something like this: "There was no difference based on trustworthiness (i.e., when someone made a promise, did they follow through?)."

I can't find this info anywhere!

I have hesitated to share these thoughts because I’m not one who is very comfortable with attention, but I feel it necessary to bring to attention anxieties I’ve had regarding the upcoming #FHSS Congress, mutual aid, and the most marginalized in academia (very long)

@ToulasTake @MsBlueLipstick I had no callbacks for YEARS. Finally got hired to a school board’s sub list during the pandemic but have never used my card because I found something else I like doing that isn’t a constant struggle.

This is basically the darkest version of off-label medicine. It isn’t a tough issue with no good solution; there’s an obvious solution, and it’s to provide for people’s basic needs, even (especially) if those needs are complex and long-term.

Reasons I have seen people approved for MAiD:
- poverty
- loneliness
- homelessness
- mental illness (note this is not permissible under current law as the sole reason for MAiD, but almost everyone with severe mental health conditions has physical illnesses too)

@SternbergPress @kayfata1 I flipped through this book at an exhibit and would love to have a copy of my own! I'm in Canada... any idea where I could find it?

@ToulasTake “…that the community is welcoming them” 👀

@RealKeriSmith Do you have any info on the rates of gender assignment surgeries for infants with DSD? I wonder how they compare.

[Amanda Light Dunbar @ADunbot]

@WorldIsSquare @kalervideo Are they in some kind of liquid in there or they’re just dry?

[Amanda Light Dunbar @ADunbot]

@WorldIsSquare @kalervideo Are you going to do this with the wieners?

[Amanda Light Dunbar @ADunbot]

@WorldIsSquare @kalervideo The scale is a bit confusing; how big are these wieners?

[Amanda Light Dunbar @ADunbot]

@ToulasTake Meanwhile in looking for more info, I found out about people getting fined thousands of dollars for having listed their primary residence in the past and not deleting the listing when it was not in use 🙄

@WIRRALGLOBENEWS @plateau_astro a kid after your own heart!

What a great way to adapt a positive element of remote learning (the chat function) to an in-person situation!

[Amanda Light Dunbar @ADunbot]

@BCDreyer Yes but only by tapping to view the one quote tweet, then tapping to expand the original tweet from there.

@titocurtis Okay, so, I wondered about this. I couldn't tell from the article whether she was broadly for or against the new location, but from the context and sub-heads, it sounded like she was against it.

[Amanda Light Dunbar @ADunbot]

This is just... Wow. Simone Biles-level mental gymnastics to justify some nimby BS.

Nico and his dog Tommy were the soul of the encampment under Ville-Marie Expressway. Now they're gone. Nico's memory haunts the camp like those who died before him. And yet, there is hope. There is always hope. Our story:
