My face when there’s no women’s bathroom on the first floor of the Ag Sci building yet TWO men’s bathroom on the first floor on opposite ends of the hallway like it just makes me furious 🤪🤪

the T in STEM stands for transgender

I have a sister who's an engineer. I told her an anecdote similar to this with engineers coming up with eugenics to solve an issue. Her response was "well, they were told to solve the problem, and they did."

I'm also studying to become an engineer in a different discipline and it means joining clubs with a bunch of (cis) men. I talked about my interests in embroidery and crochet. I'm taking shirts this summer and altering them and adding designs to the top. A guy in the group called it "weird" and then mentioned his girlfriend having similar interests.

I didn't participate in the club at all this semester.

it's so crazy to me how within the space of a year the internet's 'widespread' opinion of chappell roan has swung from admiration of an outspoken and refreshing new performer to huge hate trains whenever she so much as breaths. nothing has changed with her as a person, she is still projecting the exact same messages she always did, and yet comparing comments now to a year ago really highlights how active misogyny and homophobia are within media spaces. it's like 'ok, we let a gay woman get too big, how do we tear her down and black her out of these spaces?'. every single thing she says is twisted when before it was a breath of fresh air, now even what she wears is being torn apart instead of being revolutionary - the u-turn is giving me whiplash. and people wonder why we don't have more gay women in the media when men who have done far, far worse are never exposed to this kind of mass villainization

I had this really terrible physics professor who was a trans woman and I found it weirdly endearing to read her reviews on the website the students at our college use to rate professors because they’re dragging her to hell and back in every review and yet none of them are misgendering her

happy lesbian visibility day to all the lesbians who stumble across this message! you are all so beautiful, handsome, special and valid 💗 it’s not easy to wander around in this world without having absolutely none of the cismale privileges and everyday is a struggle to some of us, and i’m so incredibly happy to know that i’m part of such a strong community, makes me proud to be a lesbian every day!

i hope each and every one of you still find the strength and courage to express yourselves the way you want to, to love anyone without being afraid, and that all of you feel welcome and valid in our community. thank you femme lesbians, butch lesbians, studs, stems, trans and cisgender lesbians, fat and disabled lesbians, latin and black lesbians, and many more of us that fill our community with diversity and culture. i love you all endlessly 💗

for all my mascs out there;

YOU ARE NOT PREDATORY FOR LIKING FEMS AND/OR WOMEN.

YOU ARE NOT UGLY OR DANGEROUS.

YOU ARE LOVED, IMPORTANT AND QUEER ENOUGH

YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY WITH YOUR MASCULINITY.

be-protein the lyrics of your favorite song

if you want

its hard to choose a favourite song, so you're getting two.

my favourite overall is probably 'boys will be bugs' by cavetown, but i also watched 'I saw the TV glow' a couple weeks ago and it took over my brain, and i've been listening to 'anthems for a seventeen year-old girl' by yeule pretty much on repeat

protein guy analysis:

i've decided to adopt a sense of fun and whimsy while looking at the cavetown protein, and i think if i angle it right it looks like a creature, although i am not creative enough to imagine how that would look. there are several spiralling loops that look like they should be something, but aren't actually making any secondary structure. there are still a few beta sheets and one notably long alpha helix stretching across the entire peptonomination. its weird, and from a scientific standpoint probably bad, but at least it looks neat i guess?

anthems for a seventeen year-old girl is a very repetitive song. if you can't tell from the protein sequence as its formatted above, i suggest you google the lyrics. because of this, i'm not surprised by how this looks. still, i'm not thrilled either. like i said the first time this happened, i'm not all that surprised that it turned into a mess of rectangular repeating loops with a few beta sheets from a mathematical perspective. still, i wish the convoluted spirals could at least stick to themselves and not intersect with each other, or maybe have the decency to have slightly more beta sheets? honestly, i didn't expect much more than this mess.

little girl so confused and angry that she's hairy and fat and broad-shouldered and has mustache -> teen girl trying so hard to be thin and smooth and tiny -> young man tearfully letting go of the category he just barely fulfilled bc it's killing him -> adult man so bewildered and joyous that he got to have a head start with being hairy and fat and broad-shouldered and has mustache
