Why are time travelers the worst comedians?

Hi all!

One of my dear friends has a child who is beginning to question their gender identity (specifically, they have questions about what it means to be nonbinary, as they believe that they may be!).

Her kiddo is eleven and is looking for books about coming out as nonbinary and support/affirmation for those that are.

Book recs for mom and kid would be greatly appreciated. ty!

There is a new #DTMWaGL and it is about basketball cheerleaders, and a dog who may or may not talk, you'll just have to read it and see if there is a talking dog in THE POM POM MURDERS https://dtmwagl.substack.com/p/the-pom-pom-murders-dtmwagl-29

This is class solidarity for you, take notes.

"Can Exposure to Celebrities Reduce Prejudice? The Effect of Mohamed Salah on Islamophobic Behaviors and Attitudes", Alrababa'h et al.

https://doi.org/10.1017/S0003055421000423

Can exposure to celebrities from stigmatized groups reduce prejudice? To address this question, we study the case of Mohamed Salah, a visibly Muslim, elite soccer player. Using data on hate crime reports throughout England and 15 million tweets from British soccer fans, we find that after Salah joined Liverpool F.C., hate crimes in the Liverpool area dropped by 16% compared with a synthetic control, and Liverpool F.C. fans halved their rates of posting anti-Muslim tweets relative to fans of other top-flight clubs. An original survey experiment suggests that the salience of Salah’s Muslim identity enabled positive feelings toward Salah to generalize to Muslims more broadly. Our findings provide support for the parasocial contact hypothesis—indicating that positive exposure to out-group celebrities can spark real-world behavioral changes in prejudice.

@fribbledom I'd rather get whatever is currently available in the place I am and get vaccinated as soon as possible, this pitting them against each other thing just leads to confusion as barely science literate media spreads lies and hype
