Yup. No one has said that we must become Astro-CNN for the world. My mental health has improved greatly.
A rant to follow up on this cuz it's a Mars day, and I've thought a lot about this. I see many new astrologers stressed and burned out often about keeping a daily social media schedule with astrology. So, I want to say a few things. They may be shocking & piss off some folks.
But what else is new for me.
Yesterday in true Franco-German fashion, the two countries celebrated 60 years of Elysée Treaty. If I haven't posted anything about it, it's because as a Franco-German myself, I'm truly disappointed with how the relation is going - for years now. Let me tell you why. /1
I've had enough of "dialogue formats" and "cultural encounters". The reality is: The political relationship is strained at best; citizens couldn't care less about their neighbours; there is little funding available for cooperation; less and less people learn the language. /2
The civil society sector is heavily status-quo oriented, & anyone who wants to improve things in the slightest is sidelined. There are signs of hope though, with some 'younger' people doing great work - but it remains rather limited./3
Time for a short #rant about terminology.
Dear #conservatives, STOP arguing that "the U.S. is a republic, not a democracy." It is semantically, historically, and pedagogically incorrect and, therefore, undermines any argument you're trying to make. 1/

For at least the past century or more a republic has been considered a form of democracy. Little more needs to be understood (but, of course, I will over-explain).

Recalling the Founders and their references to "democracy" does not prove your point. As democracy has spread around the world since then, our understanding and application of the term has changed. Keep up.

Be very careful with the information you feed your brain.
What you put in is what you get out.
We are in the era of manipulation of information.
The Mainstream Media only covers junk that causes fear and protects the interests of the elite 1%

Television is paid programming for a reason.
A small group of the wealthy control the narrative
They provide spoon-fed information that has been chewed up a couple times.
For example:
All these networks are connected by 3 groups of elite.

I have noticed mainstream media outlets are NOT posting about Maxwell's elite sex trafficking case
It makes me sick billionaires are trafficking 14 - 17 year-old girls and the mainstream media is covering it up
MSM doesn't post news for the truth it's to control the majority.

Aus einer meine Facebook Diskussionen mit Coronaleugnern/Impfskeptikern: Dort kam heute als Beweis für Impftote die hpathologie-konferenz.de vor. Folgendes ist meine persönliche, fachfremde Antwort darauf. 1/27
DISCLAIMER: Ich bin kein Mediziner. Ich bin nur PhD Student. Ich habe noch keine eigene Paper Veröffentlichung, bin gerade aber im Prozess. Bitte korregiert mich, wenn ich etwas Falsches sage. Keine Garantie auf Richtigkeit. Nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen. 2/27

A plea from all users of @TPP_SystmOne. This pop up is extremely annoying and irritating and serves no useful purpose as it spams *EVERYBODY* logged into SystmOne even though they may not be the person cancelling an Electronic prescription. When you click "Yes" it doesn't 1/n
take you to the offending task directly just your own task list. Suggestions
1) Ditch it completely as a pop up & task. The person who cancelled the prescription knows they cancelled it and has (hopefully) informed the patient & pharmacy as needed
2) Cancel the pop up & leave 2/n

the task going ONLY to the person who did the cancellation. To make all of our lives easier.
There's been some fantastic work during COVID with the system suppliers and this highly irritating niggle could be fixed! I think whn I questioned it previously was told this was a 3/n

These ideas have a long history.
Not a technology 'fad', but from 2015 I've been trying to get funding for some ideas around this (I'm sure others also have done so for years), incorporating principles for multimedia learning (e.g. see sciencedirect.com/science/articl…)

Oh even 2014 for a Wellcome Trust Science Learning+ call. After that Leverhulme, EU, Nuffield. Sure, it could have been the case that the proposal wasn't as well written as others, but I'm still annoyed that the ideas seemingly didn't even get a look in.
Remember, this was six years ago, so maybe there is more movement now, but then it wasn't. The Wellcome call was about different themes, including engagement in STEM and equity.... see informalscience.org/projects/fundi… - also check the projects that were funded.
Are evangelicals are “low information Christians?” We’ve known for years, based on data, that youth ministry is a complete failure & that sustained faith in children is correlated with students’ relationship with their FATHER—yet, we’re still trying improve youth ministry?
Here’s me in the back of room of the church who thinks it needs a youth pastor. “Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers, Fathers...
The data doesn’t lie even though *you* have an outlier/anecdotal story of youth ministry being helpful for kid X or you personally. So what? The exception doesn’t disprove the data-driven rule. Fathers are more important to a student’s faith than youth pastors ever will be.
A Thread on having to give up using #Libre sensors. I have been Type 1 Diabetic since I was 14, nearly 30 years ago. My control has been the best it has ever been since I started to use #Libre sensors but the #NHS in my area don't allow me to get them on prescription so I have to
pay nearly £50 a sensor. This is not a cost me or my family can afford so I will not be able to continue using the best individual tool I have ever used for managing my #diabetes This is a real shame as maintaining great control with the sensors would prevent, or certainly delay,
My Snotty Opinions About Church Music (which you should not take personally because I promise they are not about YOU) - a thread (Alternate title: Why I Hate Both Organ Music and Praise Bands
When I am in a worship service with a huge pipe organ, I note how impressive it sounds - how regal and important. I also note how I feel like it is basically bullying me the whole time.
It feels like the organ is what is musically most important and if the congregation wants to sing along, they can, but they are not needed. Plus, we can't hear each other anyhow because the organ sonically takes up the entire room.
Y'all, I am so fucking sick and tired of Black people saying other Black people "act/talk white." #Rant #Thread
My anger about this today comes from a comment a Black woman made to me about how annoyed she is that the Obama girls "act white."
Full disclosure: this type of comment really bothers me because I've been told for most of my life that I "act/talk white."
