Medium continues its trend of conflating *feminism* strictly with the Managerial class of women (and its wannabees) and every fucking day this annoys me more.

Boost if you're a feminist woman who's been shafted by a woman boss, once or more than once.

Boost this if you believe in feminism but not a model for same that obsesses endlessly about female investors and entrepreneurs like they're the only women on Earth who even exist. 😡

I'm gonna' go throw some shit at the wall and scream now.

it owns how trans women have been run out of communities based on demonstrably false smear campaigns and are still persona non grata, but some cis dude dipshit can literally admit to preying on children and be ~uwu~ forgiven immediately

@Elizafox blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview might be up your alley.

Study of affirmative action in politics, via the crudest “50% of your MPs must be women” mechanism results in an increase in competence* of the average MP.

Affirmative action drives out mediocre men.

*As measured by the proxy “percentage of the median income-by-profession of candidates”. Which is quite indirect, but a plausible proxy.

I should make a science journal that competes with Nature called Nurture that's exclusively about reviewing science articles which attribute things to biology/natural order without considering how society might be a confound to their data.

All the walk-in clinics were closed and I couldn't remember when I'd last taken my shots, so as silly as it felt, talking to a triage nurse at the hospital seemed like the smart thing to do.

The doctor had me fill out a report for animal control types on the minute chance that the mouse had rabies, but said a tetanus shot would realistically be all I needed. The moral of the story: don't assume a tiny rodent can intuit your motives. Oh, and keep on top of your vaccination records.

Backstory: I met a super-friendly kitty while walking home and I heard a squeak while petting it.

I spotted a mouse (!) and tried to shoo it away while the kitty was distracted by my headpats. The mouse didn't appreciate my gesture and latched onto my finger. 😓

Hello friends. I went to the ER because a mouse bit me on the finger yesterday. How has your weekend been?

turns out that calamine lotion and benadryl are enough to overpower a mosquito that bit me three times on the same hand
