Things That Happened To Me When I Was A Woman In STEM:

Headcanon: in warrior cats when a cat transitions the leader announces it at the next gathering by saying "(Cat) has given their identity to StarClan, and the one that StarClan gave them in return is named (Cat's New Name) and they wish to be referred to as a (gender)."

science fiction as a genre was invented specifically to show lesbians some greasy sweaty women in tank tops fixing machinery

So rn the US government is starting to defund the National Parks Service, and while this is a bad thing largely because it's mainly being done to open up the possibility of oil drilling in a lot of those areas, I think it also needs to be said that no the National Parks Service was not just there to "protect natural wonders" or whatever. It was there because a lot of those places are incredibly important land to a lot of Indigenous Peoples and if you give it special status that means you can't live on it you can make the natives leave easier because they get arrested if they don't. Like I am very much not in favor of this change as it is being done but I don't think we should respond to it with wholehearted praise of the National Parks System either. Please know the history of the land you live on and visit.

imagine how much of a fucking horrible person you have to be that on the first day your elected into office the crisis calls of a Suicide Prevention Project Go Up 33%. The Trevor Project Received over 1,400 Call By Early Monday Afternoon. Most of those calls, if not all, are coming from children. Children scared of you and what you will do. Imagine how much power and how horrible you have to be to do that.

american leftists seem extremely focused on anti imperialism (good) but rarely- if at all- discuss decolonization in their own fucking country, despite acknowledging that it is a settler colonial state.

Why do we call our parents mom and dad or their siblings aunts and uncles. Why do we call teachers and strangers Ms. or Mr.? Why can’t I call my mom Megan or my dad Joe? Why can’t I call my history teacher Kevin? I already call my adult roommates by their first names and I’m barely a teen. I get it “respect and blabitty blah!” But, how would you feel if you were addressed as Mr. Madden all the time. Just let Kevin shine.
