Just another neurodivergent techie. Expect to see me talk about computer networks, feminism, human rights, and autism--and how they are connected. I'm also working towards a degree in knowledge forbidden by the State of Florida: Gender & Women's Studies.

You want to see a book? Banned without your papers checked. Carrying a concealed weapon (or, often, openly carrying) into the library for most adults with no permit or ID requirements: Legal in Idaho.

I get the same for my E -- that it's way too high (it's not). Doctors that actually understand trans people basically say that the labs should report both ranges sex-dependent labs for everyone because then the doctor who actually knows the patient's history can interpret it then.

Your home network, not your ISP, is probably why your internet is slow and unreliable. If you want an immediate speed/reliability improvement, use a wired connection between your router and your computer.

My field is more than 60% women. Shark Week, marine biology's biggest stage, doesn't just feature more men than women... it features more guys named Mike than women. And that's ignoring the pseudoscientific nonsense, wildlife harassment, and near complete lack of any real conservation content 🧪🦑

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

300 foot tall flag poles flying progress pride flags in the 100 US counties that had the largest margins in favor of Trump in the last election. This would be done similar to the massive cross project, but pride flags instead of crosses.

One of the things that grieves me about MAGA nation (and long before it, the "religious right") is what they've done to my religion. They've taken a religion that has love for others at its center and turned it into a "me first" religion of toxic masculinity. And sadly most Christians allowed it.

And Colorado is a Blue State. Our LGBTQ law is more progressive than California's in many ways. And they still feel safe enough coming after LGBTQ people here. That should terrify everyone.

So, the day before Pride month, Uber sent me a survey about a potential match women and nonbinary riders/drivers feature. I just love my gender being subjected to a popular vote. Happy Pride from Uber, I guess? /sarcasm

What struck me, as a gender studies student, was the “discourse” that compared a phase of life (menopause) with disease. Not menstruating due to age is not a disease. Treating it at one is part of what contributes to the oppression older (cis) women face.

GOP: If a 9-year-old girl becomes pregnant through rape, she should have to live with the consequences of her actions (allowing herself to be raped). Also GOP: A 17-year-old can't possibly know their gender. Hell, a 22-year-old can't.

I am convinced that a key thing a lot of autistics have -- but which is not mentioned in any description I know of -- is trouble entering unfamiliar spaces. For instance, going into a shop, room, etc, if we're not 100% sure it's the right place. I suspect this is both autism and social trauma.

What my school is trying: “biohazard”. Note that at my school, an inner-city university, the first thing I needed to scan my ID to enter was a bathroom inside a classroom building, to keep homeless people from peeing. The idea being that this could justify homeless sweeps for sanitation reasons.

Just sharing the Utah State Auditor’s web form that people can fill out if they suspect there is a trans person in a public bathroom.
I wouldn’t suggest anyone submit false info to a government agency that is implementing a transphobic law, of course.

Indeed, at my campus (Auraria in Denver, home to three institutions), campus authorities cite the camping policy in justifying military-level police response. Why do you think there is a camping policy for this inner-city campus...ya, you guessed right.
