I realised today my macrame crafts have changed a bit over the years.
How it started: I'm going to make cute Christmas ornaments 🌲
How it's going: I wonder if I can make a choker 🤔

These men also seem to get very upset when I reply with "I agree that's a good idea for the code, that's why I proposed it in the first place".
Also I would really like to see other men (especially the self proclaimed feminists) call out this behaviour in meetings, because it is so tiring to have to fight just to get my voice heard. #AcademicChatter

One of the most exhausting things about being a (perceived) woman working in computational physics is dealing with men who don't think women can do physics and men who don't think women can code (there is a lot of overlap here). Things men have tried to 'explain' to me recently:
- Basic coding practices
- A topic I have published papers on
- How to debug a code ("have you tried adding print statements")
- How code releases work
- My own ideas 😫

It's been less than three months since these two came home with me, and they've already brought so much joy to my life. They've also brought a lot of chaos and sleepless nights 😆💜

Two tuxedo cats perched on the back of a sofa enjoying the sun. Otto (left) is mostly black with a white spot on his chest, and has different coloured eyes. Kutte (right) has white socks and comically large white whiskers. Otto looks more serene and elegant, Kutte looks like a chaos gremlin.

I am up way too early on a Saturday, heading out to the cold (-10 degrees) for an introductory birdwatching event. I'm somewhat questioning my life choices, but I have tea and binoculars so let's do this 😄🐦

Can we take a moment to appreciate the people who remember to close issues they opened on code forums/issue trackers and, very importantly, report back about how they solved the problem. You're the heroes we need. 💻 #coding

We should all be a bit more like cats: eat when hungry, sleep when tired, scream loudly if needs are not met, set clear boundaries and attack anyone who doesn't respect said boundaries. 😸

Maia Kobabe's ‘Self Care Tips From Tumblr' post feels very relevant again, as it does on a regular basis, so here's the link to it, as a refresher;

Maia Kobabe is also the author of ‘Gender Queer: A Memoir’, one of the prime targets of bigoted book bans in the United States;

Links to eir shop pages (there's stickers of the self-care raccoon!) are here;

#SelfCareRaccoon

A short comic, three rows of two panels.

In the first row, titled ‘When you feel like everyone hates you’, a raccoon is surrounded by evil eyes glaring at it from the dark. It is clearly scared. The next panel, titled ‘Sleep’, shows the raccoon taking a nap.

In the second row, titled ‘When you feel like you hate everyone’, the raccoon is angry, snarling. The next panel, titled ‘Eat’, show it holding a strawberry with its paws, eating it.

In the third row, titled ‘When you feel like you hate yourself’, the raccoon is curled up, clearly unhappy. In the next panel, titled ‘Shower’, the raccoon is standing in a puddle, washing its paws with soap.

making biscuits on my lap.
