  1. Biophobia: people’s aversion to nature

    "Evidence suggests that biophobia is a growing trend in many parts of the world. Ironically, this trend has emerged during a time when increasing people’s biophilia has become a critical challenge for ensuring the sustainability of the human relationship with nature.

Although foundational theories and concepts have been established, a deeper and interdisciplinary understanding of the manifestations, drivers, and feedback loops associated with the human aversion to nature is urgent." >>

  2. CW: emetophobia

    Note to people making movies and TV.

    If a character throws up, you do NOT NEED TO SHOW ME. You don't need to show it happening, you don't need to show it coming out, you ABSOLUTELY do not need to show me the toilet bowl contents after they've done it, what the hell is wrong with you?

    Just show them, from a suitable distance, hunched over and play the sounds. We get it.
