Sierra, nerd for many animals

May randomly slip into an animal theme Hi! I'm Sierra, shower coffee enjoyer, known transsexual, and biologist with background in molecular biology and bioinformatics. She/Her

[catboybiologist]

New pinned? Eh, it's as good a time as any.

Hiya! I'm Sierra. I'm a trans woman, currently unemployed, but with an educational background in molecular biology and bioinformatics. I also like doing outdoorsy stuff. Im apparently a Big Blogger (tm) against my will. This blog is SFW in the strictest technical sense, but I freely talk about taboo stuff, and I'm really, REALLY bad about tagging.

This blog is my unfiltered dumpster heap for putting my random stuff. It hasn't been very active for a while, but if you want my clean, SFW, "hall of fame" collection, @hi-sierra is the best place for that.

As a general rule, I do not promote fundraisers unless I personally (as in, beyond tumblr) know the people involved.

The stuff I put here may include:

Discourse inducing takes, typically more for the purpose of journaling, venting, and inviting discussion in good faith rather than being polished theory

Rambles about the intersection of my science background and my existence as a trans woman, particularly about the biology of transfeminine HRT

Bad attempts at humor

Cataloguing outdoor adventures by being a vain bitch:

Thirst trap selfies:

Transition timelines:

Rambling about my adhd

Pictures of my adorable little Russian Tortoise:

I occasionally stream on a "when I feel like it" basis:

Twitch

If you like me and want to support me while I job hunt in biotech and biology research, consider giving something to my ko-fi if you can spare it!

I'm not SUPER active on other sites, but I do have other places I occasionally post. If I ever disappear from Tumblr, these are other places you can find me:

What if the Truman show did a queerbait arc

[kerryweaverlesbian]

What if the Truman show did a queerbait arc but then they found out Truman was gay for real and had to recalibrate and their tv network would have to take a definitive stance on homosexuality, yay or nay in the late 90s and it's not like they can recast Truman. They would have to either plot him into an it's okay to be gay fake happy relationship like they did with his tv wife or try and scare him off homosexuality by doing homophobic gay misery storylines at him to try and keep him firmly in the closet.

personally I think if your first response to "have you considered transitioning" is to list the ways women are expected to perform in society that you don't want to be expected to comply with, what you need is estrogen plus feminism, not more experience with makeup

[faerevolution]

like girl let's be be so for real right now none of the dykes I know are shaving for anybody. that is not a mandatory task. you could be so free all you have to do is reach out and take it my friend

My headcanon is that she got an elf neopussy from a medic while she was at the academy but every once in a while uses her flesh magic necromancy to whip it back out, much the same way as she reconstructed Marcille's body

[soballoonist]

does she need to be covered in blood to get her penis back?

[catboybiologist]

Physically? No. Erotically? Yes.

I'm not even nearly as anti-LLM as most other leftists but part of approaching new technology is "hey let's think real critically about the application and scope of this so we can use it in ways that are worth it and don't cause mass scale societal damage" but the fact that it's being injected into fucking EVERYTHING makes any stance more cautious than "USE LLMS FOR EVERYTHING NOW AND FOREVER" so much more anti than the status quo that I don't even fucking want to add nuance

[catboybiologist]

Like most of the problems people have with LLMs are the natural conclusion of decades of tech companies gaining monopolies, environmental regulations struggling to keep up with new technologies, and a growing semi-privatized surveillance state, as opposed to issues with LLMs themselves. There's a theoretical reality where LLMs are implemented in useful, responsible, and sustainable ways but that reality is so far removed from our current one that none of those points actually matters

Here's my pickup line. Can you give your perspective as a woman?

Did you know that male seahorses give birth? Let's give birth to wonderful conversations.
