Seeing the Vice President of the United States calling people "dipshit" on social media wasn't on my 2025 bingo card, but that's on me at this point, it absolutely should have been

As a former Steinbach area resident who worked there, who felt the loneliness of being queer in a conservative Christian community before we even had Pride...I'm angry, and I'm sad. It's one fucking day, can't we have that without your hate being shoved in our faces?
Saturday’s annual Pride rally and march in Steinbach was called off after multiple threats prompted concerns about the safety of attendees, an organizer told the Free Press.

During the Layton years I was a queer woman living in Brad Trost's riding. I got to hear my MP say in person that he would repeal same sex marriage and ban abortion if he could, at a USask forum no less. And he still got re-elected easily. But man, I'm still proud of how loud we booed him.

And stop expecting women to be the absolute best, want to be on your outreach team, do more just because. Some just want to come to work, do their job and go home. Just like 90% of your male workforce.
If I knew the answer to "how do we get more women into <insert STEM related thing here>" I'd have made my fortune selling the idea*.
So just because I AM a woman in STEM pls stop asking.
*actually I do have an idea but it involves dismantling the patriarchy and no one is willing to hear that

Scientists always assume that people will find results exciting and methods boring. That's often a misconception. People are just as interested (or even more so) in *how* and *why* you are doing things as they are in learning what you've found.
