A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience.
No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent.
And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted.
... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

⭐️⭐️ ‘This is a thriller of the sort that involves people in suits talking at each other, with the occasional close-up of one of De Niro’s troubled eyeballs’ My review of Zero Day, for @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/culture/tele...

please enjoy this "vintage movie poster" I saw in a dream which was so funny to my subconscious that I immediately woke myself up to write it down for later

a mock up of a vintage style movie poster, with a bright yellow background featuring red, white, and black elements. the title reads "Please Margaret NO" and shows a well groomed man in a suit looking terrified, as a woman with curled hair and red lipstick holds her mouth open in a broad smile. the text below reads "he was a man with the world's largest collection of live butterflies and she wanted to eat them all". a motif of black and white butterfly silhouettes floats along the top of the poster.

So I taught the kids how to play #Whamageddon but six year old was upset at losing. So then we invented Reverse Whamageddon where you get a point every time you hear it but he realised he could just repeat the track and oh dear god help me

My dad put his favourite mug in the dishwasher too many times so now it looks like he has a souvenir from the weirdest theme park ever.

A mug that used to read "The Best GRANDAD In The WORLD" but the writing has worn off so now it just says "GRANDAD WORLD". The mug is white with black text on it, on a wooden table.

"From its subtle opening to the explosive final episode, this is a truly great piece of television: after all, there’s nothing more powerful than being heard." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My review of the BBC’s The Listeners, in today’s @theipaper.bsky.social inews.co.uk/culture/tele...
