cool things for awesome people!

i'm leah, a 22 year old marketing student who firmly believes that everything a person needs to be successful in life can be learned by watching sherlock, reading homestuck and being a loud ass feminist. life's too short to be anything but happy.

ask me things!

or submit if you'd like to send me a link!

my fic recs (destiel, davexjohn, johnkat, john/sherlock, shakarian, shoker, etc) are here, and a slightly more coherent list is under construction at my AO3.

i also run an extremely specific blog about uk scenery over at scenery porne, and another about food so delicious it makes you uncomfortable at food boners!


Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice 

stfuconservatives:

There’s no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.

“Prejudice is extremely complex and multifaceted, making it critical that any factors contributing to bias are uncovered and understood,” he said.

Here’s a link to the article on the Psychological Science article:

You do need to be a subscriber to read the full text though. Funny, and unsurprising stuff.
