This has to be one of the funniest bits of internet commentary I’ve ever read

[thatadult]

The Stanford prison experiment tapes were so stupid when I watched them in AP psych and so stupid when I watch this film about them. Literally they could’ve all sat and played cards and got $15 a day to tell ghost stories all day and be best friends. But masculinity and whiteness and power created this violent irrationality that positioned young ass men to be met with brutality and trauma and disrespect even when it was obviously taken too far. and it makes no sense. If someone put me in a room with Black girls and said I would get paid $90 a day (that’s the equivalent apparently) to be a prison guard, do you know how fast I’d be sitting with them and learning about them and exchanging Instagrams and like.. sleeping.. like what the fuck was the point of any of that…

[kaylapocalypse]

My psych teacher introduced us to this study and literally before she showed us was like “don’t ever confuse a study based on one type of person (white men/boys) to be an example of an Everyman situation. There is strong evidence that if this was recreated with diversity, or even just with girls, that the results would have been drastically different. This is an example of bias and sexism in the medical research community.”

[redmagus77]

“Other, more subtle factors also shaped the experiment. It’s often said that the study participants were ordinary guys—and they were, indeed, determined to be “normal” and healthy by a battery of tests. But they were also a self-selected group who responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking volunteers for “a psychological study of prison life.” In a 2007 study, the psychologists Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland asked whether that wording itself may have stacked the odds. They recreated the original ad, and then ran a separate ad omitting the phrase “prison life.” They found that the people who responded to the two ads scored differently on a set of psychological tests. Those who thought that they would be participating in a prison study had significantly higher levels of aggressiveness, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and social dominance, and they scored lower on measures of empathy and altruism.”

The thing about this study is that whether or not it’s generalizable to the public is debatable at best.

But it’s certainly generalizable to the population of people who tend to be drawn to prison system and law enforcement jobs because that’s exactly the demographics that tend to show up in those positions.

[breadedsinner]

Uh hey quick question what the FUCK does that mean?

[squided]

It means you need to agree to do a long list of things not in the job description for no extra wage and you can’t complain about it or ask for more money

6 Things Every Transgender Person Should Know About Going to the Doctor

You deserve sensitive, comprehensive care.

Nathan Levitt, FNP-BC

[carrot-gallery]

friendly aggressive reminder that the “mmm whatcha say” chorus was written by imogen heap for a song of her own that came out in 2005, and jason derulo both named his own song after the chorus he sampled from her and improperly credited her in 2009.

mmm whatcha say was written by a female artist and taken by jason derulo and now he gets credit for it. pls reblog bc not enough people know this. the original song is called hide and seek

[ariasune]

it is also a singularly beautiful song, head’s up

[zubious]

Worth mentioning, “Hide and Seek” is an abstract story of a girl reflecting on her parent’s divorce and how it changed her life, while “Whatcha Say” is about a guy who cheated on his girlfriend and is trying to convince her to stay with him anyway.

[hells-finest-gentleman]

I literally had no idea Mmm Whatcha Say was by Jason Derulo

How I Learned to Accept My Queerness as a Muslim Woman | Teen Vogue

"Every person of color has felt this to some extent."

Fariha Róisín

[safeschoolsstoryproject]

“What has happened in the post-9/11 world to Muslims has done more damage to the Muslim psyche than anything else. The feelings of rage I had for myself are tethered to the feeling of being unwanted. Every person of color has felt this to some extent — the feeling of being seen as completely wrong, and being so terrified that at any moment someone might disclose to you how ugly, or worthless, you really are. In these circumstances we’ve whitewashed ourselves in the hope of being accepted.

In subliminal (and sometimes blatant) ways we are taught that white is good, white is beautiful, white is better — so we customise ourselves to appease the oppressor. We believe in the oppressor’s language against us so wholeheartedly, and yes, we want to change, we want to be like them.”

How to Tell a 'Crisis Pregnancy Center' from a Legitimate Abortion Clinic

Last week a vandal, presumably a right-to-life activist, spray-painted “Baby Killer” across the front of a women’s health clinic. The catch? In a plot twist worthy of The Gift of The Magi, it turns out that the clinic was actually a “crisis pregnancy center,” or an anti-choice operation dedicated to talking women out of having abortions. The CPC looked so much like a legitimate abortion provider that it succeeded in fooling even its supposed allies.
