For most people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30 or older. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

Hell yes

[sapient-marshmallow-princess]

this is common sense. sadly there are too many transphobes and thus this isn't a universal fact despite being objectively and morally correct

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.

Having a much older, much more experienced person tell you you're doing well in your shared hobby is better than crack, especially when the hobby tends to be 80% retired ppl. Like, hell yeah I'm gonna get a good grade in birdwatching and I'm not even 50. Child prodigy moment

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

[saspitite]

FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME

BISEXUALS GROW FROM THE GROUND

PANSEXUALS GROW FROM THE CEILING

[fraterrisus]

No no, you're thinking of stalagmites and stalactites.

Bisexuals curve inward like an hourglass, while pansexuals curve outward like a(n American) football.

[lailah-tov]

No, you're thinking of concave and convex. Bisexuals are a one-sided, two-dimensional surface with a boundary, and pansexuals are a one-sided, two-dimensional surface without a boundary.

[alltangledupinblue]

No you're thinking of Möbius strips and Klein bottles. Bisexuals have bears, pansexuals don't have bears. (Phrased for maxiumum hilarity.)

[be-gay-cause-crime]

No, you’re thinking of the North Pole and the South Pole. Bisexuals fuse atoms together into a new, heavier element, pansexuals split atoms apart into smaller elements and both release a ton of energy doing so

[kale-of-the-forbidden-cities]

no, you're thinking of fusion and fission. Bisexuals result in two nuclei that are identical to the original nucleus. Pansexuals result in four nuclei with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell

[an-ungraceful-swan]

No, you're thinking of mitosis and meiosis. Bisexuals are figures of speech comparing one thing to another using words such as "like" and "as." Pansexuals are figures of speech where a thing is said to be something not literally applicable.

[solarishashernoseinabook]

Sorry, but you're thinking of similes and metaphors. Bisexuals are verbs meaning to effect something, while pansexuals are nouns that describe the changes that come from something happening.

[captainclickycat]

You're thinking of affect and effect. Bisexual is when it's pronounced as a word, pansexual is when you pronounce the individual letters. Like NATO vs ATM.

[chaotic-neutral-knitter]

That's not right, you're thinking of acronyms and initialisms. Pansexuals are the set of points in a plane equidistant from a fixed point and line, while bisexuals are the set of points in a plane defined by the constant difference between the distance to two fixed points.

[mxmollusca]

Sorry, but you're describing parabola and hyperbola. A bisexual is when you make something more pleasing to look at by combining it with something else. A pansexual is when you say something nice to someone.

[moonblossom]

Um, actually, you're describing complement and compliment. A bisexual is when you have a segmented body and skeletal system on the outside, a pansexual is when you are a form of higher primate.

[porcupine-girl]

No, you’re thinking of arthropod and anthropod. Bisexuals are verbs that must have an object while pansexuals are verbs that don’t take objects.

[brightlotusmoon]

You mean transitive and intransitive? I thought bisexual and pansexual meant day time and night time.

[carrie-fisher-in-a-suit]

No, you’re thinking of diurnal and nocturnal. Bisexual is when two words sound the same but are spelled differently. Pansexual is when words are pronounced differently but are spelled the same.

All throughout your life you’ve saved the life of the same person again and again. You eventually began joking that you are their guardian angel. When you died and entered heaven you were surprised to see them being berated by an angel. Apparently they were supposed to be your guardian angel.

hey. don’t cry. crush three cloves of garlic into a pot with a dollop of olive oil and stir until golden then add one can of crushed tomatoes a bit of balsamic vinegar half a tablespoon of brown sugar half a cup of grated parmesan cheese and stir for a few minutes adding a handful of fresh spinach until wilted and mix in pasta of your choice ok?

[transcript: a dueted TikTok. the original video shows a person singing part of a song. they sing “it’s me or the ps5, tell me which of us is more your type? seems like you can’t decide, so if it’s not me then i’m probably gonna run it over”. the original video is captioned “open verse challenge !!”. the duet shows another person dancing along to the first part of the song. after the first person stopped singing, the dueter turned on a lamp and said in a comical voice “it’s me boy i’m the ps5, speaking to you inside your brain. listen to me boy, leave the girl, we don’t need her! come with me and play my games! we’ll have cowboy times and space! du du du du yeah. you need me boy your free will is an illusion”/end transcript]

I’m having trouble finding resources on separating attraction from people pleasing so I decided to make a post and invite people to add their two cents.

Since learning about comphet and aromanticism, I’ve been in a self discovery phase where I analyze my own thoughts and feelings. As someone who struggles to ID what romantic and emotional attraction are, the realization that most of my crushes or the people who made my brain go into panic-mode were just people I wanted the attention or validation of. Seeking validation through pleasing others (especially authority figures) is deeply ingrained in my psyche and I’m actively trying to rewire my brain. So how can I tell the difference between genuine attraction and a fear fueled, desperate frenzy?

Trying to unlearn people pleasing leaves me at a place of preferred solitude, because so much of intimacy is scary. When attraction is added to this, I find myself doubting if I ever had crushes at all. In the Am I A Lesbian? Masterdoc, one of the parts that stuck with me the most was the parts where they differentiated between comphet and genuine attraction:

This was a huge help for me because it gives a frame of reference for how attraction is supposed to feel like. I guess. Cause ever since puberty I’ve programmed myself to self-‘friendzone’ whenever I had a crush, because I felt like I had no right to like someone and pursue them, like I’d be annoying or creepy. There were also many times when I only caught feelings for someone after they admitted that they liked me first. Twice in my life I believed I was ‘in love’, but in hindsight, both were guys who gave me love, attention, acceptance and invited me into their friend groups when I hated myself and had no friends.

So if you’ve read this far you may have picked up on how deep my anxiety around love is. I’m at the cross section of mental health and queerness and I need answers. I will be eternally grateful to you if you share any related experiences or just your thoughts on this stuff.
