Links and Show Notes:

Things kick off with Merlin's inspiring Apple success story. Then, there's some consideration of where all these wrecked cars might be coming from.

In Follow-Up, John learns he's not the only aging auto enthusiast whose magazine has gotten bigger. Also, listeners share more novel, rich-people technologies for making your kitchen look like it's not actually a kitchen.

The main topic finds your hosts considering what it means to be a young person in the age of ubiquitous capture. John makes a case for the value of having all your ideas challenged, and Merlin learns how little he knew about the ERA.

In this month’s member bonus episode, your hosts finally address a topic that's been hanging out in the doc for a while now: Mastodon hates threads. After making two distinct piles, Merlin does a terrible job just sticking to the first one.

You can sign up today to hear all the member episodes, get more bonus stuff, and, yes, support our program.

Gender: An Ethnomethodological Approach, Kessler, McKenna

Kessler and McKenna convincingly argue that gender is not a reflection of biological reality but rather a social construct that varies across cultures. Valuable for its insights into gender, its extensive treatment of transsexualism, and its ethnomethodological approach, Gender reviews and critiques data from biology, anthropology, sociology, and psychology.
