a surprising number of people see the term "social construct" and think that it means something is not real when it actually means something is so very real because it was created by us and is constantly enforced, often violently

Did you know that after they switched to blind auditions, major symphony orchestras hired women between 30% to 55% more? Before bringing in “blind auditions” with a screen to conceal the the candidate, women in the top 5 major orchestras made up less than 5% of the musicians performing.

[shwetanarayan-deactivated202504]

so I believe it was actually more complicated than that, in interesting ways. Because at first, when they did blind auditions, they were STILL hiring more men.

…Then they put down a carpet, so that high heels didn’t clack on the floor,  and BOOM women were suddenly getting hired.

The testers didn’t even know that’s what they were picking up on, which just goes to show how tiny of a cue it takes for misogyny to kick in.

[isaacsapphire]

The case of blind auditions for orchestras and how it dramatically changed the gender makeup of orchestras is a very illuminating example of gender bias, and an interesting possible way of countering it.

[small-witch-big-hat]

You can be sexist without knowing it. You can be racist without knowing it. This is not a moral failing; it is a moral imperative to remember that you are fallible, and take steps to limit the damage your squishy ape brain’s foibles can cause.

[mindfulwrath]

The final chapter in Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink (2005) describes this in detail.

What you don’t usually hear about when discussing this blind audition process is that after the blind auditions were implemented, when women had gotten many positions in the orchestra, men no longer saw being a member as prestigious and the salaries for the entire orchestra dropped.

I think gatekeeping art is such a funny thing like. "Oh so this doodle I just made is art" yes next question. "So video games are art?" yes????? Bitch your essay you wrote on that book you didn't read in English class when you were 10 is art. Painting a fence is art. 2 sentence shitpost on Tumblr is art. Get on my level.

[sapphling]

the more time you spend in active recovery from any given self destructive behavior or addiction the more you understand the common conception of the "relapse" as defined by a broken "streak" to be, like, so bad for one's own well-being that it would be funny if it weren't resulting in just a lot of misery and death

I told my girlfriend to think of quitting vaping as training her endurance by seeing how long she can run before she gets tired, then doing it again and hoping to go further next time. She said it really helped her.

Rūrangi should be on more people's radars for queer media.

It's a New Zealand show on Hulu about a gay trans man who works as a youth activist. After his boyfriend commits suicide, he has a public breakdown and runs off. He finds himself back in the small dairy farm he abandoned 10 years ago and starts picking up the pieces. Slowly he realizes that while he did need to leave to live, he also has an important place here where his activism is needed.

His best friend is a bi Maori woman who grew up alienated from her culture and is trying to learn the language and reconnect (and gets into delightful mischief fighting colonialism with the aunties).

His ex-boyfriend is coming to terms with his own bisexuality.

His dad, a many generations dairy farmer, has become an environmental activist practicing organic farming trying to pass a bylaw outlawing chemical fertilizers, which he believes contributed to his wife's death from cancer.

It's about how the movements for queer rights, indigenous rights, and environmentalism are intertwined, and just as important in rural areas as cities. Rural towns aren't just conservative backwaters that aren't worth fighting for. They're full of diverse people fighting for a better world.

It's a really powerful series. Almost all trans and nonbinary creators behind the camera, and trans people playing trans characters. It's a great introduction to trans rights if you have family that are ignorant but not necessarily hostile.

Biggest downside: it's extremely indie. The episodes are short and there aren't many of them. The seasons end on big personal wins, but the overall struggle is very ongoing (it's realistic), and three story is obviously incomplete. I think they're still trying to make more but it's slow going. If they got more viewership and more cast they might be able to finish faster.

I just love how real the series feels. I almost think I'll appreciate it more in 10 years and onward when I can look back on it as a time capsule preserving it's moment and who we were as queer people. There's almost no representation for trans men port there so this is really special for me.

Please give it a watch. There are two seasons so far and the entire season is the length of a movie. So it's easy to get through.

All the people in the notes saying 'that's too busy'... maybe this post just wasn't aimed at you.

[breelandwalker]

"That's Too Busy." So sorry you were raised on Landlord White with occasional forays into Shades Of Beige and can't handle patterns or saturation in your colors.

[onandon-anon]

My problem with the second one isn't that it's busy, it's that it's AI slop, I mean look at it, the sink bowl isn't even under the faucet, I begging to know what are y'all seeing when you look at this?

[onandon-anon]

#AI AI AI #can not believe y'all folks think 2nd one is a real room #how is the mirror reflecting the shower at a 90 degree angle from it #hell of a mess on the counter when you turn on the faucet #but your sink basin sure to stay dry as f*ck #everyone on this site: "go to literal hell if you ever opened ChatGPT" #everyone on this site: *reblogs the most physically-impossible shit you've ever seen as long as they like the palette* #IT'S AI

[snakechvrch]

1) The sink does have a basin. It's hard to tell because of the low resolution of the screenshot, the foreshortened angle of the counter, and the fact that there's plenty of lighting coming straight from above so there isn't much of a shadow. It's visible as a very flattened oval that doesn't reflect the wall tiles as clearly as the rest of the counter:

2) That is how mirrors work! They can reflect things that are seemingly not in their "line of sight" because light is funny like that. Here's my own bathroom. Notice how a bit of the back wall is visible in the mirror, despite it being tucked waaaay back behind that sloped wall.

I encourage you to find a mirror and test this for yourself! Stand at 90 degrees to it, and see how it reflects things that are 90 degrees in the opposite direction.

Anyway, I don't think this is AI. I don't see any obvious tells, but I do see a LOT of things that AI would have a very difficult job getting right -- including the mirror, ironically. Look at the green tiles lining the arch of the tub, and their reflection in the mirror. They're different, as they should be: the mirrored ones are at more of an angle due to perspective. I could point out plenty of other things too.

[bogleech]

Yeah that is most likely NOT ai and I am deeply concerned that people are going to increasingly make this mistake just because they don't always realize what reality looks like :(

#this is this insidious side effect of ai generated content

#it’s now causing people who are rightly trying to be vigilant about detecting it to question their own perceptions of reality

…yeeeeeeeep

[ferrousferrule]

I don't know if they're questioning if it's AI or just too stupid to understand perspective. Like I can't DRAW perspective but I understand how it works
