No idea what’s going on with tumblrs content filtering but very interesting that actual porn is not getting auto flagged as mature but Gaza fundraisers are 🤔
things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:
an advisor humiliated me in front of an entire lab group because of a call I made in his place when he wouldn’t reply to my e-mails for months
he later delegated part of my master’s thesis work to a 19-year old male undergrad without my approval
a male scientist at a NASA conference looked me up and down and asked when i was graduating and if i was open to a job at his company. right before inquiring what my ethnicity was because i “looked exotic”
a random male member of the public began talking over me and my female advisor, an oceanographer with a pHD and decades of experience, saying he knew more about oceanography than us
things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:
being asked consistently for advice on projects despite being completely new to a position
male colleagues approaching me to drop candid information regarding our partners / higher ups that I was not privy to before
lenience toward my work in a way I haven’t experienced before. incredible understanding when I need to take time off to care for my family.
conference rooms go silent when I start talking. no side chatter. I get a baseline level of attention and focus from people that’s very unfamiliar and genuinely difficult for me to wrap my head around.
like. yes some PI’s will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I’ve lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women’s careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.
okay so if you need more veggies/fruit, protein or fibre (bc most people do NOT eat enough) in your diet but you struggle to do so, hear me out:
look up recipes (especially snack recipes) that are child/toddler/baby-friendly
i can guarantee there is a woman with a cooking blog out there who has found away to pack a bunch of vegetables into a surprisingly delicious little snack for her kids. this process has never failed me when i feel like i am not eating enough fruits and veggies. my entire flat is eating spinach muffins at the moment, which doesn’t sounding particularly appealing to most people and yet somehow. they’re delicious.
putting some of my saved recipes under a read more for people to use as inspiration or a starting point ❤️
Dorothy: Mr Scarecrow, why do you want to see the Wizard?
The Scarecrow (Totally-Not-Fiyero), internal:So I can punch him in the face for his oppression against the Animals and starting a smear campaign against the love of my life because she is the only one to stand up to him.
The Scarecrow(Totally-Not-Fiyero), out-loud: ….. I want to ask him for a brain.
With all this Wicked talk reminder that in the Oz books the rightful ruler of Oz was actually a trans girl named Ozma who explicitly named Dorothy a princess of Oz and considered her a “constant companion.”
Glinda to Dorothy: Yup, if you want to travel to the Emerald City you have to follow this road and only this road for like 70 miles in heels. Everyone does it like that don’t worry about it
