this trend of shitting on peer-reviewed academic studies in favor of tweeting “we already knew this was happening” is so soul-crushing. not to be an elitist cunt, but we have got to open the schools again. people genuinely seem to have forgotten that their personal lived experience isn’t indicative of the larger population, AND IF IT IS…… then you need researchers to support these assertions from a relevant data pool instead of a blog post from 2013 💀
"Believe women and the marginalized" does not replace the value of empirical data.
it's also just so shitty being a scientist right now and seeing people shit on research at a time when the federal US government is trying to starve and strangle American research. like. when you say "oh we knew this already, there's no point funding research to prove it" we hear that our work doesn't have value. and if you think scientists aren't hanging out here on tumblr in our free time, well, think again.
It also ignores all the scientist who got into the field BECAUSE no one in power would believe them without empirical data. People who spend years documenting and analyzing data so it can’t be denied, so that when you need to speak to power you have a solid piece of evidence that holds weight in courts, schools, and doctors offices to stand on. Scientist who are trying to do research to lift their communities who then get spit on by said community saying ‘we already knew’ and ‘this research is pointless’.
Do you think there are no Native American scientist doing environmental research? No black women studying public health impactors? No neurodivergent pedagogy researchers? There are. They are some of the most passionate and driven scientists out there, because they are people trying to help the people and places they love.
You do your own community a discredit when you dismiss scientist doing ‘obvious’ studies because more and more often there are names on those studies from your community who have punched their way through a glass ceiling to stand before the world bloody knuckled and victorious to say “Look. Listen. Understand, accept, and change.”
battle couples has gotta be one of my favorite tropes though. The “you got me?” “Yeah, I got you.” The kiss for good luck. Fighting alongside each other for so long they know every strength and weakness. The dichotomy of being fucking terrifying to their enemies, but so soft with each other. When one is in danger and the other goes feral, protects them at any cost. When everything is over and done, it’s all “let me see where you’re hurt,” and washing off the dirt and blood.
Just curious, for those who have OCs that get married:
Do they do any name changing type stuff? Whether it's taking one or the other's surname or creating their own surname together?
how it feels being a casual enjoyer of academic articles without institutional access
do it scared. do it stupid. but most importantly, do it bitching and moaning the entire time
emoji set for @snugasabugbear !
Not looking for advice, just a small vent:
I don’t usually feel frustrated and self conscious about my body EXCEPT WHEN I GO FUCKING SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES. Dear fucking god. I may be fat, but I ain’t asking for much. Just some cute fucking bras and gray skinny jeans. THAT’S IT. If there is something in my size my options are so stupidly limited. Uuuuuggggghhhh. I hate this.
I HAVE WAITED ALL YEAR TO POST THIS
I haven’t seen anyone do this yet but I cannot stop thinking about the carrot costume in the ad read in c4e4, and needed to doodle Julien in it
Une carrotte à la Julien if you will ✨️
Tyranny in her sleeping paralysis demon mode, poor Wick tho, and he's allergic to hay. I love their dynamic so much!! aaaaaaa ( ≧ᗜ≦)
I was recently gifted a ‘build it yourself’ dice holder shaped like a dragon, so of course I had to paint it to look like Galax.
So sick of the fantasy trope where humans are the dominant race and are so cool and are everywhere. Fuck that. In my setting, kobolds are the most common race. Those little guys are everywhere.
Every time explorers discover a new part of the world, they're like, "I wonder what strange new people we'll find here." and yup, more kobolds.
Being demisexual and bi is funny to me. Anyone can hit it but you must suffer The Gauntlet first
You must answer me my riddles three
You must jingle your little jester hat in a tone that doth please me
For those loudly out, for those quietly existing, and for those in between, happy pride month!
So @snugasabugbear got me into ffxiv last year, and I might be a wee bit obsessed with this version of Galax.
