How do you react when you put out a great piece of content and someone only comments on your looks?

My take is to block and without a big fuss 1.) If they don't value my content, they don't deserve my next piece of work. 2.) I conciously choose not to... 1/
@AcademicChatter
...draw public attention to it because it'd look like part of me wants their intellectual approval

I know it is controversial but I feel that public shout-outs make women look a bit insecure

If someone does not value my content, it is their loss, not mine. 2/
@AcademicChatter
Having said that, I do not judge other women who have different approaches.

I post this to add to the discussion, so that we can find the best approach possible.

So, more power to all women kicking butts every day.

I consider myself one of them ;) @AcademicChatter #girlboss

I have been silent for some time about the current crisis in the US.

I was lacking words to express my feelings and I needed to learn more about white privilege before I voice a public opinion.

The things I have learned are in the thread below:

1/
In the past I got defensive when I heard "white privilege" because I felt it denied my achievements and the efforts that I put into achieving my goals.

Today I realise that white privilege is about the lack of obstacles I was facing on the way 2/
For example: For me it was a lot easier to focus on achieving my goals because I did not have to fear about losing basic human right like being arrested for no reason.

I never had to worry whether people might already consider my simple presence as a provocation

As researchers I believe our responsibility in the current situation is to educate people on logical fallacies.

I see so many conspiracy theories online and I am starting to worry that people will believe them.

So, I'll start with my most important fallacy:

1/2
A hypothesis needs to be falsifiable - there needs to be a way to, in theory, proof a hypothesis wrong

E.g. I don't think that Bill Gates is the mastermind behind #COVID19

If the response is that I only say that because I am brainwashed, this is a non-falsifiable statement 2/
It would mean that the other person would always be right:

Either I agree with them, or I disagree because I am brainwashed. There is no way for me to proof them wrong.

Conspiracy theories are usually made of non-falsifiable ideas. 3/

Interior design in one of my secret passions.

In light of the fact that we will stay at home for a long time, how about some re-design.

So, here is a thread with my favourite interior instagram accounts:

@AcademicChatter
Moaandlov

Such beautiful design.

Vintage and bold colours.

At Number 30

Run by Hannah Michalak. Industrial meets British traditional furniture. Cosy, yet modern.
