heeey i wanted to do your dissertation study but i couldn’t get past the select your gender page because it had no nonbinary option. this may sound like a stupid reason but i won’t misgender myself because that sucks a lot and the option of prefer not to say made me feel like the only other option i had was to hide my gender, which also sucks a lot. i’m sure you had your reasons but especially if you’re looking for participants on the internet it would be good to be more inclusive

Hello,

thank you for notifying me on this. I indeed did not consider this when setting up the study, I’m sorry. Sadly the study is already running and cannot be changed but I will consider it in my future research. Thank you for wanting to participate and sending this message!

Suicide Forest in Japan

in the wake of that horrible youtube video, it’s important to support suicidal people and remember suicide victims. i don’t know who that man was but his life shouldn’t be a footnote under the event of this scandal. his life was important.

yo click that link from op. it’s a really amazing and very respectful 20 minute Vice documentary that goes into this forest, its history, its significance, and the topic of suicide. if you can handle the subject matter, it’s a very enlightening piece that gives much needed context to this whole youtube mess. 

I just wanted to reblog this with a quick warning, while the video in the link I believe is respectful and significant, it does show a quick montage of images of suicide victims in the condition & places they were found from 4:39 to 4:52 so please watch out if that kind of thing would catch you off guard like it did for me. 

Help me with my dissertation and look at some cool fingerprints!

Hello everyone, I need participants for my dissertation study! 

You will learn how to analyse and compare real fingerprints and have the chance to win a 20 £ amazon voucher. It should only take 15-30 minutes and I’m happy about every participant! Thank you so much beforehand.

Please do finish the study once you start it as this is very important for proper analysis. You will analyse 4 latent prints (A-D) and compare each print to six exemplar prints each.

This is okay to reblog!
