how am i supposed to think as a woman in STEM when I grew up in a household where my engineer dad implied I couldn't be anything but an engineer, while at the same time only sharing his most visceral criticism towards the woman engineers at his company, then saying to me "but you're different, Amy."

i don't know what I'll find here, but if there are any engineers who design molds/dies/mandrels on this website, was it easy for you to pick up or did it take time? Designing a device for manufacturability felt so much easier than designing a mold for manufacturability. I feel so dumb. #engineer

Designing molds for tipping catheters is hard. All the other engineers say it's hard and it takes a lot of time to really get a grip on it compared to just designing a device on SolidWorks, but I can't help but feel dumb since I'm a senior level engineer.

I feel a certain anxious nostalgia when I see the kids all going back to school. Yeah, the kids may get Summer break, but I don't envy being back at that age when my future was so undefined and I worked 8+ hours for free. Also, realizing I masked all of high school and had undiagnosed ADHD.

I get so paranoid that people will think my partner and I broke up, when in reality, I take my ring off a lot to work with my hands and forget to put it back on about 50% of the time (tho I still love that obstructive opal I asked for so it's my bad). Ringless at work today.

Oh FIFA is suddenly corrupt now? Not before today? Suspending Balogun's red card is the first corrupt thing FIFA has ever done ever? That's the thing that is tainting the World Cup? No other action FIFA has done before or ever will do could be worse than this? #fifa #worldcup

I let the grandma intrusive thoughts win. I found an altered 1975 Ballerina Barbie selling for $20. She's far removed enough from her original advertising & packaging (+ I think her hair's been re-rooted), that my anxiety doesn't flare at the idea of sewing her non-ballerina clothes!

My fiance ordered me the MeatCanyon Margaret figurine and I'm waiting patiently for this abomination to arrive in the mail. I want to pose her with a Barbie doll baking a pie. I'm looking for a second-hand vintage Barbie that'll complete my vision (clothes don't matter since can sew them).

Margaret figurine from MeatCanyon. A fleshy oven with blue eyes, a smirking face, and bony finger-hands, with her oven door open revealing a face inside.

Not only is the War on Iran raising the gas prices, it has also fucked with our home refinancing. We started the process before that pedophile started the war, and now the war is making the economy volatile so mortgage rates have gone back up :) Fuck you, Trump, you fuckin worthless human.

ER season 8 was the last season we enjoyed. We're on season 10 now and it's becoming such a slog of love triangles and the Abby torture hour (I actually like this character but think she's utilized wrong). Bleh, we might give up on ER soon. At least I still have The Pitt.

Can reality shows do trades like basketball teams? Whitney Rose is great on RHOSLC but I would 100% keep watching Secret Lives of Mormon Wives if she took Taylor Frankie Paul's place. The show was sucking even before TFP's domestic violence video came out.
