how many evolutionary psychologists have been forced into homelessness because of stephen jay gould
when you come home to the wife and kids and have to explain to them that you were denied tenure because one of the committee members had reservations about your "cold tolerance = economic complexity" model wondering there may in fact, be something other than adaptation going on?

FIFTY YEARS OF PRIDE

Today: Homeless LGBT youth

In this thread, I’m going to do something a little different. I’m going to share a couple of personal stories on LGBT youth, followed by resources for LGBT youth facing homelessness/are homeless

Jack’s story from #NationalComingOutDay 2018—

Jack had a life altering impact on me. As an ally, it wasn’t even a hesitation to NOT take him in.
Jack didn’t have a support system & would’ve been homeless w/out help for coming out to his mother.
#Pride2019
I am happy to report that Jack’s story had a good outcome. Jack has moved to another state into his accepting father’s home. He is in college and currently pursuing his passion in architecture.
I’m proud to this amazing kid’s surrogate, bonus mom.

I’ve had multiple ppl tell me that if I don’t get tenure I have a lawsuit on my hands & yet a part of me is still like: Racism & sexism are wild & I trust no white man’s “meritocracy”. I’ll feel confident I have tenure when I see the paperwork that says so & not a second sooner.
There are too many horror stories of talented, accomplished women of color being denied tenure, particularly at elite universities. There are too many stories of people working themselves into health crises & strained relationships for 6 yrs only to be told no.
You can’t ask me to put faith in a system that has harmed & failed so many people I admire. I will believe it when I see it. And in the meantime, I’ll be spending this summer preparing myself for what I do if it’s a no.

1. In the 1890s, there was a popular saying among German Socialist Democrats: "anti-Semitism is the socialism of fools." This was inspired by Karl Marx's theory that socialism is immune to exploitation by Jewish capitalists, and hatred of Jews was actually hatred of capitalism.
2. According to Marx, anti-capitalist ideologies like socialism and communism are immune to Jewish exploitation because the means of production are stripped from Jewish capitalists and collectivized.
3. Ironically, during the Bolshevik Revolution, Jewish capitalists simply handed over the means of production to Jewish bureaucrats. But after the fall of the USSR in 1991, the means of production fell right back into the hands of Jewish capitalists. But I digress.

THREAD This likely won't make the news, but the Feds quietly released their new homelessness strategy Reaching Home today.

This is the biggest change in federal #homelessness policy in over 30 years.

The best part is - it is already working #cdnpoli

newswire.ca/news-releases/…
2/ Reaching Home represents a paradigm shift in federal policy that will transform how communities respond to homelessness. Key changes include a focus on real-time person-specific data, coordinated access systems and a homelessness reduction outcome canada.ca/en/employment-…
3/ Reaching Home is already working. For example Kawartha Lakes Haliburton has already reduced chronic homelessness 50% and is on track for functional zero using strategies in Reaching Home caeh.ca/bright-spot-ka…

In @Quillette psychologist @Russwarne talks about the errors of Stephen Jay Gould

"Stephen Jay Gould, the famous 20th century paleontologist, published his most celebrated work, The Mismeasure of Man, in 1981. Gould’s thesis is that throughout the history of science...
..., prejudiced scientists studying human beings allowed their social beliefs to color their data collection and analysis. Gould believed that this confirmation bias was particularly powerful when a scientists’ beliefs were socially important to them."

At the 2014 #TetZooCon - that's the first one ever - I spoke about Speculative Zoology, or Speculative Evolution, or whatever. And here I'm going to tweet some of what I said... The cover slide shows awesome #Squamozoic art by @alaskanime plus a Night stalker and a .. a.. well..
Evolution is real and animals have a past; therefore they also have a future, something we can take seriously. And many authors have... #TetZooCon
There's already a whole genre of 'alternative history' fiction, variously called AH, allohistory or Uchronia. Ideas about alternative or parallel timelines. And the idea is in mainstream fiction... #TetZooCon
