i sometimes wonder who i am, in the genetic sense. i believe i am 100% korean (whatever that means), but sometimes i wonder if maybe i am not. this wondering comes from a place of “maybe i am someone else” and there is a sort of jarring pleasant feel to that 🥚

Anyone here going to Interspeech and wants to do a student a big favor? He was accepted & paid, but ultimately cannot leave the U.S. due to ongoing fascism (he’s on a visa). They will pull his paper if he can’t find anyone to present it for him. DM if you’re attending & may be able to help!

Masking should be mandatory in all healthcare settings. Hospitals and doctor’s offices are where most sick people congregate. It’s also the most likely place for more high risk people to be. You shouldn’t have to risk getting sicker or more disabled while trying to get treatment.

Alt-text is a brief description of the image in your post. It's essential for a number of users, including blind users who rely on screen readers.
There is a growing trend of not using it (especially the engagement-farming accounts). But there's an option you can toggle to remind you.

Found a copy of @rebeccarhelm.bsky.social s Twitter thread on "biological sex" on facebook.
![Rebecca Helm, a biologist and an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina, Asheville US writes:
“Friendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes and gender right now. Lots of folks make biological sex sex seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about sex...[a thread]
If you know a bit about biology you will probably say that biological sex is caused by chromosomes, XX and you’re female, XY and you’re male. This is “chromosomal sex” but is it “biological sex”? Well...
Turns out there is only ONE GENE on the Y chromosome that really matters to sex. It’s called the SRY gene. During human embryonic development the SRY protein turns on male-associated genes. Having an SRY gene makes you “genetically male”. But is this “biological sex”?
Sometimes that SRY gene pops off the Y chromosome and over to an X chromosome. Surprise! So now you’ve got an X with an SRY and a Y without an SRY. What does this mean?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vjhrhk6me52erjhbtf6orhro/bafkreibomhsjhd4z5penrc2etjwhia7m6qxetuuwzlymnlh6ek4psqxnw4@jpeg)

HBO reveals first part of Harry Potter TV cast, including Dumbledore and Hagrid
John Lithgow confirmed in Dumbledore role, with Paapa Essiedu playing Severus Snape and Nick Frost as Hagrid
For a lot of Harry Potter fans, no actors could ever live up to the original cast of the cherished film franchise. For others, a new TV adaptation is an opportunity for greater detail and faithfulness to JK Rowling’s magical seven-book series.
Much of the guessing and speculation can be put to rest now, as HBO has made its first official casting announcement for some of the wizarding world’s most notable characters in its forthcoming Harry Potter series. Continue reading...
