I just want to thank #AubreyPlaza and #DanMurphy for #TheChristmasWitch - finally, justification to bake Christmas cookies in wildly impractical Halloween costumes with dramatic sleeves.

anti-trans rhetoric; allies; photos 

I was in a couple of nights ago when my friend Ra (she/her) bummed a cigarette off of a stranger. While they chatted, I wandered a little ways off with our party’s third.

After a few minutes, it was clear that the conversation between Ra and Mister Cigarette had become heated. I rushed over to provide Ra with support, only to find her staring down Mr. Cigarette as he unfurled an anti-trans screed—one that was disturbingly premised on prison rape analogies. 🥺

I stayed in the conversation just long enough to realize that neither rationality nor empathy had a place, and then gently guided Ra away and onto a better night.

Meanwhile, our party’s third, snapped a few photos of what being an ally can look like.

Zoë Heller on Shirley Hazzard:
“The portrait of the permissive era that emerges from these stories is a rather somber one. Eros is less the bringer of carnal fun than a dark and rather dangerous force on which men and women (but mostly women) pin their romantic hopes at their peril. Hazzard’s female characters are not constrained by conventional sexual morality, inasmuch as they engage in premarital and extramarital sex without compunction or shame, but they evince none of the antic libertinism or experience-gathering curiosity of, say, Mary McCarthy’s women. Sex remains for them a solemn rite, a significant act of surrender, and their inability to divorce the act from higher feeling leaves them horribly vulnerable to the emotional sadism and moral carelessness of men.”

Awww. A little one stopped by my table to compliment my hair clips. Love the mini wins. 🥰

My greatest presentation successes to date are avoiding gendered titles entirely, basking in the radioactive background noise of the “sirs” and “ma’ams” around me, while fending off only the occasional targeted “you.”.

Arriving at at 15:00 on a weekday is my new favorite travel hack.

Absolutely empty. No lines. No waits. Just a quiet corner table at the reasonably overpriced wine bar.

Two hours later: the zoo fills.

It is endangering to society to create an out-group that you’re going to allow people to attack for no reason whatsoever.

CW: Sexual harassment in STEM 

Re-posting this 🐤 thread from 2018 which, sadly, is still relevant:

#WomenInSTEM who talk about #harassment and sexual misconduct get a lot of antagonistic & unhelpful replies.
@shrewshrew and I (a woman & a man in science) tried to categorize them. #9ReplyGuys

✨The people at Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity chose my work on the myth that 80% of trans kids ‘grow out of it’ as the lead article for their latest issue, making it available for free! Make sure to read and share!🌈

@annehelen You can do it!

In my experience, the hardest part is weening yourself off of that ♥️ counter.

So my wife took our 4 year old daughter to the mall yesterday and they came back with astronaut Barbie and later in the evening built a Lego rocket for her. A+ parenting from my wife right there 👏

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
