Shoutout to all the queer folk in STEM. I doubt this is news to anyone but there's always a lot about theatre gays™ or how 'all' queer people's favourite subject at school was English. Here's to all the gays who CAN do maths, to all the queer scientists. I love been a queer in stem!

Wow... never saw this one coming... if Ted Cruz and AOC both agree that blocking the public from purchasing shorted stocks is bullshit, then the hedge funds might not win this battle after all. I think that Republicans are too scared to open the Pandora's Box of regulations that would result from any legislation here.

Edit:

AOC stays true to her principles.

Sometimes all you need is to start small

[lilanua]

imagine having a presence in life.

whenever you walk into a room, you fill its atmosphere. it can be heavy or it can be light, but it is felt by the universe.

your shoes echoe on the marble floors of a library. you are alone. you are grounded, you are in the right place at the right time, where you need to be, following the exact trajectory life has set out for you. every one of your actions has a purpose, the slightest brush of your fingers against the spines of the forgotten books is needed in the intricate works of this world.

you are outside, the sun hitting you perfectly to cast a golden glow which illuminates your face as if you were the heroine of a painting. your existence is enough to cause magic.

Facebook PSA

Hey all, a little Social Media PSA if you have the Facebook App on your phone. 

With the last update, Facebook began tracking something called ‘off-Facebook Activity’ which keeps up with all apps and browsing you do off of Facebook and collects that information with the purpose of targeting ads… which means they’re selling it to ad agencies. This includes access to any banking apps on your phone and your spending habits. 

 Not only is this a major breech of privacy that Facebook didn’t have to tell us about when they updated the app, it’s, of course, automatically turned on. 

To turn it off, go into your Facebook app, pull up the menu from the main screen [the button with the three horizontal lines] scroll down to security and privacy, find ‘Off-Facebook Activity’ and hit the button that lets you manage your history to see all the apps it’s been collecting from. From there, you can clear the information it’s already collected, and there will be a button regarding ‘Future activity’ where you can turn the ‘feature’ off, at which point Facebook with give you an ‘ARE YOU SURE YOU DON’T WANT US COLLECTING YOUR INFORMATION TO SELL YOU THINGS???’ screen. Yes, yes you are sure. Because this is disgusting. 

[blackmarkettrombones]

Facebook made this super hard to find, so I’ve written up instructions for how I got through it (on my app - I don’t know if there are other versions where it’s different):

From Facebook, go to the Menu by clicking on the three horizontal lines on the top right of the screen.

Scroll down to the bottom and select the Settings & Privacy drop-down menu.

Then select Settings (the first option under the drop-down).

This will take you to a screen showing multiple headers with lists of links under them

Scroll down to Your Facebook Information and select Off-Facebook Activity.

The next page has a short explanation of Off-Facebook Activity. Click Manage Your Off-Facebook Activity after the What You Can Do header.

This will take you to a screen with an option to Clear History (which I recommend). To actually turn off this feature, you will have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select the Manage Future Activity option that pops up.

This will take you to a page explaining in more detail what they’re doing. Select the Manage Future Activity at the bottom of the page.

THEN you can finally select the toggle to turn off Future Off-Facebook Activity. 

If it’s glowing blue with the circle on the right side, it’s active, and if it’s gray with the circle on the left side, it’s off.

Stop convincing yourself you’re wasting your life away. The time you’ve spent resting and healing was and is necessary. You’re not a waste of a person if you find yourself struggling right now. Healing, recovering, sitting with your pain is foundational. It’s not a waste. You are still whole.

[thoradvice]

if you're a student at all, please take care of yourself. you don't need to compete with your classmates for who slept the least or who drank the most coffee. eat breakfast and go to sleep a little earlier. lay off studying for a night and do something nice for yourself. your body and brain will thank you.

What they’re furious about is how the other staffers will see that it can be done and possibly revolt against the unfair pay they’re getting or just up and leave.

Which they should.  Staffers should revolt or leave, and underpaying congresspeople should be fucking scared.

They’re pocketing the money that they could be using to pay those staffers a decent wage, but damn, they want that fifth car and extra 20th vacation to cheat at golf and fuck kids in Thailand or some shit. 

It’s not about the principle, it’s about demonstrating that it can be done, successfully, and the idea spreading to us little people that we can rise up and take back what is already rightfully ours anyway.  Vive la revolution!  Madame Guillotine is thirsty for the blood of liars and pigs.

[spacefaring-kissboi]

I can’t get over what a righteous line “madame guillotine is thirsty for the blood of liars and pigs” is.

i thought about where i was this time last year. stressing about school and my mental health slipping further and further down. i was so certain the same would happen this year (since i cannot go to therapy and help from school has been - well - sparse) but it hasn’t. i am actually kinda happy for once. i am happy with my social life, i have finally learned to accept my body, and i am doing things i love (namely starting mental health and lgbtq+ initiatives). it’s amazing how things can change.

i’m still kind of in an identity something – wouldn’t call it a crisis, maybe a slump? not sure where i am gender wise right now, but that’s okay. i am allowed to take time to figure myself out, i am allowed to take up space. however, i have actually been honest to a friend about liking she/they pronouns and using a binder, and it feels like coming out as queer all over again (i guess it is). but it’s good to say who you are and this time around i won’t be rushed and i’ll acknowledge the time and space i need.

i might not have had the quarantine glow up, but good things are on their way.
