While we’re at it, you should never assume that women or minorities in leadership positions will support up-and-coming women or minorities. It is often the opposite that’s true.

Just some food for thought 🫥

My point is that, moving forward, if your goal is to support women and minorities in science, you should (must) revise your belief that it’s bizarre.

It’s illogical, sure, but people are illogical (unlike protein structures).

Books have no doubt been written about these dynamics, featuring other contexts. Consider prominent republican women.

What causes some women to tolerate that treatment?
How do they become palatable to misogynistic mentors?

It’s been studied by folk more insightful than me.

I believe in your sincerity that it seems incongruous to you. I just want to point out that it isn’t uncommon, at all.

The most vile misogynistic scientists I’ve ever met had/have female lab members. They were also some of the younger Ass’t Profs in the department, so it’s not “old school”

One of my close friends has celiac, it sucks to do the initial kitchen “decontamination”, but not as hard as you might think to shift to GF recipes! As for baked goods, yeah it’s a bummer overall but there are exceptions. My favorite brownie recipe is GF, and muffins are better with almond flour.

Dropped off our ballots this morning on the way to work!

Jazzed to (hopefully) vote out the woman who’s proud to have stoked the stories about our city being over-run by TDA.

At this point in my life I’ve lowkey accepted that anxiety is just… in me. I don’t think I’m gonna beat it. But I know that I can still experience joy and “I can’t believe it’s not fulfillment” so I’m just gonna roll with it. Permit it to pass over me, through me, & etc.

Alt: Gif from Dune featuring the bene geserit fear chant/prayer. I must not fear, fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn my inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

HBO always tries to push his show after I finish “Last Week Tonight” and like… I can’t imagine being in the demographic that would watch both of those shows.

He’s the same political flavor as Bari Weiss, but somehow *more* annoying.

Like, he’s ground zero for a lot of the “has the left gone too far?” shit-takes.

As in “of course trans people have a right to exist, I jUsT dOnT tHiNk wE ShOuLd be PuShInG HoRmOnEs oN kIdS… WiThOuT pArEnTaL cOnSenT!!”

I caught a few minutes of one of his shows a few years ago and remember thinking “…isn’t this guy supposed to be liberal?”

I think the fact that he makes jokes confuses people since most conservatives are utterly humorless, but he’s clearly right of center.

After the nevada primary when his supporters were leaving voicemails for the Dem party chair threatening her grandchildren, his statement was that Dems needed to find a way to embrace the enthusiasm his supporters bring… GTFOH.

I’ll never give him benefit of the doubt. He showed in 2016 that he’s just as power-hungry as any other senator or presidential candidate. The way he let the press & public tear Hilary to shreds for *talking* about the crime bill when HE FUCKING VOTED FOR IT.

I mean… it’s folk who are still on twitter. We can perhaps draw some conclusions.
