“If a famous painting changed owners, if a precious manuscript was sold at auction, if an old palace burned down, if the bearer of an aristocratic name was involved in a scandal, the readers of many thousands of feature articles at once learned the facts. What is more, on that same day or by the next day at the latest they received an additional dose of anecdotal, historical, psychological, erotic, and other stuff on the catchword of the moment.”

Yes, #trans #women can #breastfeed too. Here’s why it’s #safe, #healthy and #good for both #mum and #baby.
Most people assume that only #cisgender #women can #breastfeed, but a combination of #medical #research and #anecdotal #evidence prove this is not the case.

“More like a village than a city, Mastodon has less cruelty and bad-faith debates than Twitter, in my experience Could it be a social media platform to trust?
IT HAS been nearly six months since Twitter’s transformation from iconic social media platform into the eccentric personal project of tech billionaire Elon Musk. [The author] abandoned [their] account last November, save for work announcements – [they] didn’t want to stick around and watch the place fall apart. Still, [they] craved a digital hangout where [they] could connect with friends and colleagues, test out [their] half-baked ideas and look at cute pictures of capybaras…”

#Confabulation, false memory, or less often pseudomemory is a term in cognitive #psychology defined as a recollection of something that never happened. This can range from something as minor as misremembering an item on a list to fabricating an entire detailed, vivid #memory out of whole cloth. While it is intuitively obvious that memory is fallible, a great deal of #pseudoscience and #woo is built on the idea that all or at least some memory is infallible, as in much #anecdotal evidence. This assertion is unsupported by current evidence. Memory, in essence, is not akin to a tape recorder but a process that reconstructs past experience. This makes it highly susceptible to errors.
The foundational works relating to confabulation in #memory were produced by Frederic Bartlett & Elizabeth Loftus.

Rejuvenating properties of light, controlling #MitochondrialDysfunction. Note to myself really, but I’m going to be extending my mornings’ #FarRed #LED eye bath as much as I can. If you’ve read this far you might be interested to know my eyes’ prescription improved significantly, after 6m of 5-15mins morning sessions, through closed eyelids, of ~25W 670nm point source (LED cob) @ 20cm distance. #Anecdotal #neuroscience #RetinalHealth https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-022-00340-7
