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.
After getting into the role of Woman in STEM I was told to be more “warm and approachable” at a pitching workshop because I focused too much on stating the facts about what the team I’m on was doing and where to go to read more about it.
Plainly stating the scope of our work was “overconfident”.
People routinely go off in the wrong direction when I say the name of the field I’m in, but I was told not to underestimate what people completely outside of it might know about the details of my work.
And that was after I made an effort to downplay my own contributions by attributing the stuff I did entirely myself to the team, not just the stuff I had help with
I keep seeing people call the Trump administration shit like “schizophrenic” and “psychotic” and can we fucking not do this please???? schizophrenics and people with psychosis have a biological and neurological basis for their behavior and beliefs. there is no biological basis for being racist and sexist and a monster. schizophrenics and ppl with psychosis are innocent. you can’t beat bigotry with more bigotry

It is so fucking sinister that the only form of child abuse that society really cares about is sexual in nature. parents are free to control everything about their child’s movement, presentation, eating, faith traditions, information exposure, socialization, and can restrict all of these things to an extreme degree as a form of punishment or in order to shape the child into whatever they want that child to be. and that’s all considered completely normal, the parent’s right! people don’t even see the fact that a parent has the power to control so much about a child’s life for damn near 20 years to be a problem. The only time they become concerned about child abuse is when the prospect of an outside stranger behaving in a sexual way toward a child is raised. and yeah a lot of really horrific sexual abuses are enacted unto children, but that’s because they have zero control over their own lives and bodies in any other way as well. It is all about power and control. and typically the ones who are abusing children the most frequently are the ones who have the most control over them, the parents.
The cardinals are locked up until a new pope is elected, so the smoke has been used to announce news after every round of votes.
Previously, only black smoke was used to announce there was no pope yet and a successful election was not announced with white smoke. Originally the wax that the cardinals used to seal their vote is what caused the colour. Damp straw was added to change the colour.
There has been confusion about the colour of the smoke as it escaped in 1939 and 1958, leading to theories of reversed elections or other interferences.
Chemicals have been added since 1963 to ensure a clear black or white smoke.
Why are they locked up? They have been doing this since the 13th centry because they worried about political interference in the election. The cardinals are locked up with the key ‘cum clave’ which where the word conclave originated.
The latest possible date for the conclave this time is 10 May 2025. All conclaves in the last century have lasted less than 4 days.
pagan ass religion
can they leave the cum cave to pee
Yes, they are only allowed outside if they become ill or need to use the restroom and will be readmitted but cardinals who leave for any other reason are not allowed back in. Cardinals arriving late are also allowed to go in
So yes, tumblr user non-suspiciousname, they can leave the ‘cum cave to pee’ [sic]
do they have food and water in there or is fasting like a part of it?
They have food, in some conclaves they used to be allowed to take 2 assistants per cardinal but these days that’s not used anymore.
In some past conclaves they did reduce the food because they were taking too long (one they took off the roof to make them hurry up lmao)
A nurse can accompany cardinals of ill-health and by default 2 doctors.
Other than that the only people allowed are:
the secretary of the College of Cardinals
the master of papal liturgical celebrations
two masters of ceremonies
Two officers of the Papal Sacristy
An ecclesiastic assisting the dean of the College of Cardinals
Priests for confessions
A limited numbers of servant staff for general housekeeping and preparing and serving the meals
googling shit like “why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends” and all of the answers are either “you need better friends” (i don’t; my friends are wonderful) or “your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels” (i don’t; i’ve got tons of energy, it’s just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it’s like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
I actually, genuinely think social event aftercare would fix me. I need someone to put me to bed and say “you were fun today and no one hated you”
Sure! So there have been a few revisions of rites so some things have changed, because Pope Francis himself wanted to simplify the process
Preparation
Ritiual pronouncement of death: this takes place in the the pope’s personal chapel. This is attended by the camerlengo, Kevin Farrell The pope will be dressed in red liturgical vestments and he’ll wear also his miter (headdress and a pallium woolen stole (the scarf-shaped thing). The Pasqual candle is placed nearby
the camerlengo prepares a formal declaration of death and attached to it is a certificate prepared by the health service chief
The master of liturgical celebrations, Ravelli, decides who can pay their respects before the public viewing
The Litany of Saints is sung as the coffin is brought into the St Peter’s Basilica for the public viewing
The night before the funeral, the camerlengo and the senior cardinals are present for the closing and sealing of the coffin. They also place a white cloth over his face and in the coffin they alo plce a bag of coins (minted during his papacy) along with a written account of his papacty. It is read out lout by the master of liturgical ceremonies and placed in a tube (another copy goes to the archives)
Funeral:
the dean of the College of Cardinals leads the funeral (or the vice dean)
He will be buried in the St Mary Major Basilica and not St Peter’s Basilica as most of his predecors
Novemdiales:
During 9 days of mourning, between the death of the pope and the conclave, the Protopriest of the College of Cardinals leads a mass every day in the St Peter’s Basilica for the pope.
The Vatican flags will fly half-staff during this time.
i think there’s actually nothing better than being randomly told “I love you” after doing something characteristically stupid. Like what do you mean I’m a lovable person and I just did something silly and you thought “of course you would do that. I love you.”. No better feeling
We need to bring back private rail cars as the cool, sexy, exclusive way to travel, so instead of dumping the carbon budget of a small nation in the global south on private jets, celebrities have to attach their luxury pull an cars to the back of an Amtrak. Then the celebrities will lobby for Amtrak lines to be better
Seriously when did this
Become sexier than this
Like isn’t it nice to watch the scenery, to be able to open a window and have fresh air, to be able to stand up all the way, not have your ears pop?
People straight up do not realize that part of the reason manufacturing is not returning to the United States in massive waves is because we have things like “OSHA” and “environmental laws” and “minimum wages.”
It’s not even just about fair wages. It’s literally about the fact that you can’t dump industrial waste in a river here anymore.
Our cheap goods are so cheap because South American and Asians environments are being destroyed so you can buy a $40 pair of shoes every 3 months.
Cutting granite countertops has lead to a rapid increase in silicosis in the lungs out in California. All the working men and women in my family have died from pulmonary fibrosis. They were carpet layers, Post office workers, floor tilers. Staying safe in manufacturing jobs is annoying but also very, very expensive. Real manufacturing factories belch smoke and dust and grime that causes asthma and birth defects in surrounding communities. Everyone wants their manufacturing jobs back until they realize their kids are living directly under the Asthma Plant.
There will come a time when the workers in these countries rise up and demand better and things will start to even out, but if you want to honestly “do your part,” you gotta stop buying cheap shit for no reason.
Not every event needs to be celebrate with a baseball cap or a coozie or a t shirt or a keychain. Not every wall in the house has to have a picture or a cute phrase on it. The knickknacks are killing people.
Yep!
Oh shit yes omfg koozies and keychains by the MILLIONS???????????
LIKE
ARE THEY NEEDED????
When was the last time you cared that you were missing a fucking koozie? When was the last time you gave a fuck that you lost a pen with some oil change shop logo on it?
MAKE IT STOP. WE DON’T NEED THAT SHIT. IT’S KILLING US
if tumblr shuts down follow me on this other website that’s nothing like it and is fundamentally impossible to even wrangle into being like it due to a format that prioritises algorithmic short form text content and also nobody will join it anyway
OK so it’s kind of like tumblr except you have a character limit and the userbase is completely full of humourless millenials and it doesn’t have tags and you can’t repost the same thing multiple times. BUT it’ll have a moderation transmisogyny scandal within 6 months so really it’ll feel just like home

You might think your anime opening is cool, but is it “seamlessly put a ‘previously on…’ segment in the MIDDLE of the opening and have it kick ass every time” cool?
bet your ass he is
Hello, if you have not seen Baccano!, and want to see a BEAUTIFULLY constricted anime with an incredible soundtrack and some of the best characters of all time, watch Baccano!.
It’s 26 long-run episodes and you need to be paying attention because it’s played out-of-order ala pulp fiction, and it kicks So. Much. Ass.
last year i was eating in a fancy, large restaurant when i began to hear a rumble and the distant sound of people chanting ‘potassium, potassium’ and suddenly hundreds of people dressed as bananas flood this restaurant chanting potassium over and over and we were trapped there for a very long time because the bananas would not leave and they were everywhere
i wasn’t joking
this post has haunted me for like 3 years. every time i start to think i imagined it, it shows up on my dash again and then immediately disappears into the ether for another 17 months
Send me asks about and/or art requests for this thang!!!! I want to see him in Situations! Any situation! Send me your characters and I’ll have them interact! Completely SFW or spicy!! I just wanna talk about him so bad. Other posts about her are tagged as #jpeg :)
I think the best most human thing in the world is strangers doing a silly thing together
Examples:
- guy at work “Yes, and -” ing the bit me and my coworker were doing where we pretended to be owners of a fantasy medieval tavern not minimum wage retail staff
- at the gay club when Die Young by Kesha came on and two hundred people, all dancing and drinking separately, jumped up and down to make the “- beat of the drums *STOMP STOMP*” as loud as possible
- person who watched me stomp round the beach singing a made up song about breakfast foods to name a cat after and suggested more breakfast foods that would be good cat names
- guy who started a dance off with everyone across the road while waiting for the lights to change
- very tiny girl at the pharmacy interviewing everyone in the queue and every single one of us in turn sat down and answered this toddler’s questions like we were on Letterman
The three pillars of humanity, in no particular order, are Joy, Absurdity, and Sharing
Paddington is shot for participating in the Paris commune.
paddington didn’t “participate” so much as sowed deliberate chaos. possibly a double agent that someone realized had to be eliminated—if only it worked
i’m very hurt by everyone asking me to tag this as #AI. i suppose it was a bad time to get into speed sketching ghibli cartoon style full color 4k high quality sad paddington kill paddington execute paddington -happy paddington paddington misery illustration cute -joy drawings
people will say “early medieval” and be talking about shit from the high middle ages. people will say “medieval” and be talking about the early modern era. people will say “the early modern era” and literally mean 1952
people will say “ancient” in reference to something that happened in 1250 AD
people will say “Renaissance paintings” and then show some random french painting from 1770
people will say “I can’t believe it’s not butter” when they can in fact believe it is not butter
people will say “ceci est une pipe” when it’s literally a picture of a pipe
It is not enough to get into a comfy sleeping position- one must go through several and spin like a rotisserie chicken to arrive at the position you started with.

Girl help people in the notes are calling me rich and privileged for owning a computer.
Guys if your definition of wealth is “owning a computer” then I’m sorry but you’re not ready for the revolution. Listen, when the lord of the land makes his subjects stand in the open rain, their enemy is not the man who wore a hat.
