One Of My Favourite Pictures Of My Cat Charlie

"You can't blame Dabi for being misogynistic because he's a child and Endeavor beat his wife."

Ok what about Shouto, he saw Endeavor beat Rei and went through abusive training yet we've never seen him make any misogynistic remarks. I'm not saying Endeavor's behavior should be excused either. He did play a role in the way Dabi views women imo.

But that doesn't mean we should just ignore the fact that Dabi still potentially hates women as an adult. Endeavor is just the root cause of it. He has little respect for Toga and I believe called her crazy. Though he's not wrong it's still disrespectful since they work together.

It’s a bit frustrating how quick people are to dismiss this part of Dabi’s behaviour just because Dabi is their favourite character and their favourite character can’t be a misogynist or express misogynist views.

Also, don’t they realise that usually this is how misogynists are made? They see people treat women as lesser people and they repeat that behaviour. Originally it isn’t their fault because they’re surrounded by that behaviour but Dabi was also surrounded by people who didn’t hold such views and saw they were wrong and still held them.

I’m not even sure if Dabi is a misogynist myself or if he just expressed his frustration with the females in the family not understanding his views (as they were older and were able to counter them/worry about them) in a misogynistic way however it sure is annoying that so many are quick to ignore such behaviour just because it’s their favourite who is doing it.

Whether Dabi still holds these views is hard to tell, really, considering that he hates everyone, but his treatment of Toga has been given a new light, that’s for sure.

Happy Lunar New Year to my darling followers and mutuals!! 💛🏮🌙

for his own good

This is our priority project for 2021: finishing and updating our Women In Mathematics Calendar (https://www.lthmath.com/women-calendar)

We have starter this project in 2020 and it is such an exciting, challenging and interesting project. We still have a lot of things to add to it (interesting facts, photos, links to further readings). This will be a continuous work during the year, but we hope a proper design will be finished by March this year. This way the only thing we will have to do is update it with new information we will discover in time. At the moment we have just a basic look that does not represent the final version we have in mind. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJtvMzdDopf/?igshid=1nyix898ex4pr

ADHD and Navigating Healthcare Systems

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: navigating the US healthcare system is a Kafkaesque executive dysfunction nightmare: -2019 GYN appointment: given a referral for an ultrasound and mammogram. This was before I was taking medication for my ADHD, and I didn’t even know who to call to make an appointment, so my referral paper sat on my table until the referral literally expired. *insert feelings of shame*

-Put off scheduling my 2020 annual GYN appointment for months, because of the pandemic.

-Executive functioning struggles have prevented me from scheduling my appointment until recently, because my medication dosage needed to be increased, and I’ve been really busy.

-Given a referral for that same ultrasound, but at least I was provided additional information about who to call this time.

-Call to schedule radiology appointment as soon as I got home from appointment (higher medication dosage helps immensely with executive functioning).

-Sat on hold for 20 minutes.

-Receptionist, whose phone is crackling and I can only hear every other word she’s saying, tells me, verbatim, “your mammogram referral can’t be written this way. It has to be written differently.”

-Me: “What do you mean differently? How should it be written differently?”

-Receptionist: “It can’t be written this way. Your doctor will know how to write it.”

?????

-Call GYN back and tell them this, with what little information I have, and they tell me that they will have the doctor change it.

-And now…what? I wait? I don’t know how long until they will change it in the system so that I can call the radiologist back. My brain operates like: “now or never, and needs obvious but novel/unexpected visual cues to remember,” so there is a very short window of opportunity here to actually do this.

And people wonder why folks with ADHD struggle to take care of their health. It’s such a nightmare, every time, and any failure to navigate the system makes you feel incompetent and ashamed.

Hawks, behind your smile lies a young life full of anguish.

Such a beautiful yet trouble soul...
