Yet again the tardigrade song is relevant.

Curie was recognized in her lifetime, she won a ton of awards, including two nobel prizes. The enormity of her contribution to physics and chemistry compared to her co-winners has been slowly revealed over time, but she was considered a brilliant scientist during her life.

A better example could be Lise Meitner who, while in exodus from Nazi Germany, essentially figured out what fission was just by learning about the results of early nuclear physics experiments. But when people list the big names in nuclear physics, she’s not one of them.

According to a number of sources on STEM statistics worldwide in 2025, women still occupy less than half of all STEM positions. A higher percentage of female nurses is why there’s a majority in “life sciences.” Women hold fewer higher level/higher paid positions than men in all STEM fields as well, and minorities are still demographically under-represented across the board.

I’m just impressed you engineered a snow fort with a door that opens.

The Dark Lady of DNA is a pretty good biography of Rosalind Franklin. Watson was a piece of shit.

Whenever someone asks why women haven’t made any great contributions to science, he’s part of the reason we don’t hear about them.

Imma 'bout to go toss an irradiated, used tampon on his grave.

I steal it from behind the ice rink.

This is delightful. I haven’t quinzhee camped since I was a teenager, but once my friends and I made one tall enough to stand in with the help of a friendly gravekeeper and his backhoe.

Send him to pick flowers…

Guys, is farming gay?

I thought this was “I’m 14 and this is deep.”

The F-35s have been the kid in a toxic custody trial for fucking ever, already costing billions more than expected. The same shit happened over the F-22 and we’re still using goddamn F-18s.

In the year 2125 we’ll finally welcome in a new fleet of F-69’s to retire a squadron of Hornets being held together by spit and glue.

Oh no thank you, they’re not really my thing.

My life would be a lot better so it would make up for the rest.

Everyone gets a bag of werther’s original.

It goes by percentage of body volume. To save money simply chop off your leg to become 4-12% more penis.

Go outside at least once a day when I don’t need to be outside.

Speaking as someone with recurrent severe depression, my closest friends are the ones who harass me with their love. That said, I would never want someone to try to reach me through my family. Her situation might be different.

Depression is very isolating, it can make you feel unworthy of being around people because you can’t be fun, and you get anxious about making “mistakes.”

My favorite people are the ones who randomly show up, drag me out, ask me for help with something (introvert cheat code,) and buy me games without asking so we can play together.

If she’s an adult, she’s capable of telling someone to back off if it’s too much.

I know how serious it can get. One of my roommates got diagnosed with celiacs while we were living together, we all had to learn a whole lot about food. He was out for two days when someone got bread crumbs in the butter.

He loves the fad because of all the gluten free options.

As far as I know, all allergies are immune diseases. Intolerances and sensitivities have different mechanisms. An immune diease is when the immune system attacks healthy cells, and an auto-immune diease like celiacs is when the immune system attacks itself. I believe there’s some evidence that non-celiacs gluten allergy could have auto-immune aspects.

Conservisplanation

It is a God given fact that:

Penis = man

Vagina = woman

*Intersex = not part of the data

∴ more penis = more man

Meaning some men are more woman than trans women, so it’s epistemologically easier to ban the heretical practice of making a conservative think.

This is my favorite dick cheney deathpost so far.

That’s a great point, too. Our digestive systems didn’t evolve as fast as food processing.

I researched the gluten thing because I was a chef around the time it took off in my part of the world, and almost had to fire a line cook when he flat out refused to follow protcol because of the gluten study.

I wasn’t super on board at the time, but now I think we should just listen to people. They know their bodies even if they don’t understand the mechanisms.
