Original Comic By Rasenth

Something funny about another wave of actors who starred in Harry Potter films coming out against the Supreme Court ruling - and therefore JK Rowling who funded the campaign.

Hey um what if y'all didn't overload the luigi mangione tag with thirst about his looks when people are trying to follow the news about what's happening? Because American or otherwise it is very fucking important to realize the government picked a guy to blame for a murder and is prosecuting him and painting him as guilty. This is against his right to innocent until proven guilty. If they can do it to him, they will do it to you. Do not let them ignore your rights!! A right is irrefutable and Luigi deserves to be represented fairly under the laws we founded the country on. Make up your own ship tags if you're sick in the head and want to ship a real life person with..idk whoever. Yourself. But don't do it on the tag where people can keep up with the court case. Thanks 🤙🏻

More people need to understand that gender and sexuality can be phases, and that's completely fine, normal even, and doesn't invalidate any part of those phases.

"You'll find the right person eventually" this, and "you're just a late bloomer" that. Yeah, maybe. So what? If I find the right person, that doesn't mean I'm not ace, it's a spectrum for a reason. If I do turn out to be a late bloomer, that doesn't mean I'm not ace now.

And what's the worst that'll happen anyway? You'll gain empathy for and knowledge of the group you were part of? Oh, no, the horror

don’t like that

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.
