@RichardHanania It’s interesting to see how most of the comments are about the ‘study’ portion of phd- a significant cause of strain for many is extractive practices in academia that take advantage of graduate students’ labor, presenting it as ‘opportunity’.

Wow: "UK charity foundation to abolish itself and give away £130m". I learned of this today from @Bioregion_UK. It's a crystal clear alternative to the endless discussions of meaning, methods and metrics elsewhere in the impact funding ecosystem https://t.co/BddgVY8ohg

My partner just asked me if I’m ready for the weekend, to which I casually responded “I wish it was Thursday!” I’m wondering what I’ve become since I heard the words come out of my mouth.

Watching his 5-year-old daughter interact with his dying mother, Nathaniel Hawthorne, in tears, wrote something almost unbearably beautiful about life, death, and what fills the interlude with meaning https://t.co/KOZ28I7uhO

@hanifeozsoy1 @brnslagca Korkarım ki ayrımcılığa karşı mücadele etmek ayrımcılığı yok sayarak mümkün olmuyor. Irkçılıkla mücadelede ırk faktörünü, cinsiyetçilikte cinsiyet faktörünü yok saymak gibi bu. Ayrımcılığın adını koyamazsak nasıl savaşabiliriz onunla?

“Kindness, kindness, kindness,” Susan Sontag resolved in her diary on New Year's Day in the last year of her 30s. Here is a wonderful field guide to living with more kindness, of which there can never be too much in this troubled world https://t.co/y4dMHJurwX

From following up on last year’s investigations into animal-ag worker protections and water rights in the West to launching a series examining Walmart’s outsized influence over the American food system, our reporters dug deep in 2023. https://t.co/LEV1bkcKiT

#4Shonolulu23 left us with so much to digest, it was such a pleasure to experience the depth and quirkiness of STS community in person. Me and Irem Tekogul shared our critical futures provocation ‘Microdosing Futures’, more to come in the next days!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of listening to this spectacular keynote by Dr. Beamer at #4SHonolulu23 . Here are my impressions on Aloha ‘Āina and Hawaiian Ancestral Circular Economy. So much love and courage in these words. Thank you @kamanabeamer !

[john thackara 约翰·萨卡拉 @johnthackara]

This charming @TextilesCC image explains the fundamental problem with "circular fashion" as a guiding objective. The soils, lands and peoples who supply the fashion system with materials are outside the circle - out of sight, out of mind, out of care @dilyswilliams

Just got charged $25 extra fees for two concert tickets at $22 each… I’m still processing ten bucks ‘delivery fee’ for getting my tickets emailed to me. Such relief that now we’ll get to see it ahead of time, before paying the same junk ☺️
