I'm tempted to caption this first picture "centering the patriarchy" since you all deliberately put me front and center for comedic effect. As the second photo indicates, I'm not the *only* "boy" who studies victimhood :) Thanks for a great workshop @j_golubovic & @YessinkaH!!!

Check out our new, vaguely hopeful, article on partisanship and vaccines - we found, to our surprise, that the same messages promoting vaccines can appeal to both liberals and conservatives!
Our #FirstView articles are free to read until the end of 2022 -
