there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5
Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?”
It “seeks to determine whether ADHD
is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

The new porn review has been out for 18 days, and the response has been mostly positive. But Im really worried about what will happen next if the recommendations get implemented.
We've seen attempts to draw lines between good & bad porn before, and it doesnt go well.

Unpopular opinion probably but I really don't resent students claiming lost learning during the early stages of the ongoing pandemic.
Bosses screwed over both students and staff. We all were (/are) put in danger, messed about with constant changes in expectations, and overworked.

Should pornography be authentic? Some people think so, and partly because they think this would make it better ethically rather than just, well, better. Rosa Vince disagrees!
Jim hosts a discussion from an academic lens with Rosa Vince (IDEA, University of Leeds) about feminist critiques of pornography, specifically those around “authenticity”, and explores questions about representation, discrimination and harm in the latest episode of @ethicsuntangled.bsky.social
