The question "Where are you from?" is so funny, cause it makes me panic about how I've lost count of how many cities. towns, and states I've lived in throughout my life but at the end of the day it's probably a question of what kind of Asian I am.

Thinking about how the only thing the US seems to know how to do to "help" people is let them pay less in taxes.

"Am I a trans woman who is trying to maintain a modicum of plausible deniability by calling myself non-binary and using they/them pronouns and even then only occasionally correcting people" is a question I would like to unpack at some point, but I think my priorities right now are elsewhere.

some (SOME) white people would try to personally discredit someone rather than consider the idea that there is more than one perspective in the world.
A really fun thing about being a Black and queer feminist and physicist is that assholes are always accusing me of saying the laws of physics are identity-dependent and desperate people are always hoping that I actually will say that and are wildly disappointed that actually I think they’re not

I do wonder what would happen to science education if we were to meet with a scientifically advanced alien civilization, à la First Contact with the Vulcans. Sure, whatever physics they discovered that we hadn't would be added, but what about the stuff that we've already known?

I mean, misgendering is kind of an everyday expectation, so it's whatever, but it does kinda suck when it comes from someone you've been trusting to not do it.

People who have never misgendered me before (at least as far as I know) started misgendering me. I don't assume intention or malice but it does give me pause.
A lot of y’all were relying on the news to be your daily reminder that anti-Black racism and transphobia are bad and now that the news is doing a lot of normalizing of the perpetrators of both, it’s like out of sight and out of mind

So it looks like the hive mind is pretty much allergic to conflict, considering they literally can't say no and getting yelled at causes them to have a collective seizure. As content as they may be, they are extremely vulnerable.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

This ban would cover China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Collaboration with anyone from any of those countries would be banned. This would effectively be a killing blow on US science research.
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Researchers speak out against proposal that would bar funding for U.S. scientists working with Chinese partners or training Chinese students

The first time I saw your name was on the cover of your book "The Physics of Star Trek" when I was a kid. I loved reading that book and looked up to you back then. So much has changed since then: I'm here with my PhD, and you're out there grifting instead of reflecting on the damage you've done.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

Hopefully the Steam Frame won't be too expensive. It'd be nice for there to be a newer VR headset with a reachable price point that isn't tied to Mark Zuckerberg.
