This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.
Thank you, adorable scientist, for making people's lives better.
As an Australian, THIS WOMAN IS A FUCKING GODSEND.

PRIDE: TRUMP'S "RAINBOW WASHING" EFFECTS SPONSORSHIP
🌈 In the shadow of an emboldened right-wing backlash in the United States, Pride sponsorship is facing a chilling effect not seen in decades.
A recent study shows that 61% of corporate sponsors of American Pride events are worried about alienating supporters of Trump’s anti-inclusion policies, leading to a dramatic retreat from visible Pride support. Many companies are feeling they are 'walking a tightrope' as one corporate insider confided. “Public statements about Pride carry as much risk as reward these days, and with Trump’s anti-DEI executive actions looming, brands are spooked.” The impact has been swift and severe: In San Francisco, Pride has lost around $300,000 in sponsorship funds after major sponsors such as Comcast, Nissan, and Anheuser-Busch stepped back.
Budget shortfalls are mounting as San Francisco Pride lost about 20–30% of its budget after longtime sponsors like Comcast/Xfinity, Nissan, and Anheuser‑Busch pulled out in March, causing a direct loss of around $300K, now mitigated to ~$200K. NYC Pride has seen a $750,000 gap, while events in Kansas City, Boston, and DC report similar shortfalls of $150,000 Even more unsettling is the social media landscape, where political YouTube personalities like Steven Crowder, Blaire White, and Paul Joseph Watson have turned Pride into a punching bag for their “anti-woke” crowd.
Their videos—often mocking and vilifying LGBTQ+ visibility—feed into a climate of corporate hesitancy. But Pride isn’t shrinking—it’s evolving. Across the pond in the UK, Pride celebrations remain robust, bolstered by supportive sponsors and a political climate less hostile to DEI efforts. UK corporate giants like Barclays, HSBC, Virgin Atlantic, BT Group, and Tesco have continued to show rainbow colours in their advertising and community outreach, even as their American counterparts retreat. Sheree Atcheson, Group VP of Diversity & Inclusion at Valtech (and formerly Global D&I Director at Monzo, Deloitte, Peakon), emphasises that companies must “publicly support the LGBTQ+ community.”
According to a LinkedIn post she shared during Pride month, she calls on corporate leaders to “stand up, speak out and amplify LGBTQ+ voices”—adding weight to the view that Pride sponsorship is a moral and strategic imperative. And it’s not just the UK. Globally, Pride sponsorships are surging in Europe, Australia, Canada, and parts of Latin America. Amsterdam Pride enjoys major funding from Heineken and KLM, while Sydney’s Mardi Gras pulls in support from Qantas and the Commonwealth Bank. Even in parts of Asia, brands like Samsung and Uniqlo have cautiously but consistently sponsored Pride events.
This international contrast highlights how the U.S. corporate retreat is not inevitable—it’s political. The Trumpian chill is a distinctly American export. Back in the States, Pride organisations are leaning into grassroots models to keep the show on the road.
Twin Cities Pride, for example, has raised over $50,000 from individual donors to offset Target’s partial withdrawal. In San Francisco, organisers say the budget crunch has inspired a return to Pride’s activist roots: less glitter, more grit. “We’re seeing a re‑emergence of protest,” said SF Pride’s spokesperson. “We’re here to remind everyone: Pride began as a riot, not a sponsorship opportunity.” For now, the global picture remains hopeful. Where corporate America hesitates, international companies in the UK and beyond are stepping forward, reaffirming that Pride’s heartbeat is not corporate logos but the communities they represent.

Mike Flanagan’s horror gays, you’re so loved ❤️🩹🏳️🌈
Just had Chappell Roan in the car on the loudest setting and screamed at the top of my lungs.
Average Chappell Roan listening experience i fear
The fact that Steve hasn’t told any Marx Brothers level corny jokes in the MCU is a crime and you know it. I swear to god. That was the brand of humor popular in the thirties and forties. Steve would absolutely say “I once shot a nazi in my pajamas.” And everyone would be like “really?” And he’d totally deadpan be like “yeah, how he got in my pajamas I’ll never know.” And while I’m certain that Thor, Clint, and Peter would fuckin love that everyone else would hate it. Natasha might personally kill him I’m not sure.
@deliriumcrow who do you know that is like this?

The author is transfeminine themselves and this bit was in a FOOTNOTE. They had NO OBLIGATION to give this information and they are the funniest person on this fucking planet
I’m glad people are enjoying it! I totally wrote the footnote for shits and giggles, adding it during revisions. Academic funnies is something I try to do as much as I can, because academia is often too dull for my taste: https://www.facebook.com/florence.a.pare/posts/10223888512340696
It’s hilarious that it has legit 132k notes lol
How am I just finding out about you
ok but have y'all seen their writing on surgery:
Forthcoming in the prestigious McGill Law Journal. ✨
the “humans are inherently selfish” fanclub can genuinely and in all honesty go to hell. i once came back from a school yard where the kids had heaped piles of leaves and cut wildflowers on a narrow strip of grass bc a bee had died. i actually want to cry.
when i was a child, my parents told me our houseplant would die of lack of sunlight. i was so young i don’t even remember this, but apparently, my response to this was starting to carry the plant around like an emotional support stuffed animal. whenever my family went outside i would hold the pot on my head to make it reach the sun better. i wasn’t in school yet, didn’t have any exposure to the lessons on caring they give in elementary, i don’t remember my thought process - but i can guess. kids integrally care about things, even tiny bugs and inanimate plants. humans care.
don’t let them beat it out of you
as someone in my 40s, may i also add: if they beat it out of you? put in the work to relearn it until it’s a part of you again. a part you’re proud enough of that if someone tells you it’s dumb and you should stop, you can laugh and say “oh, no. no, i don’t believe i will.” and then keep on keepin’ on.
compassion can often be a skill that needs to be relearned. so relearn it and revel in it.
