Chaos... to be continued

[MsNatalie99]

That's true... though I'm trying to cut them all loose as soon as I send the resume, cuz can't depend on one application! But it is nice to have closure.

And thank you, that's always nice to hear And no need to be sad - there's always coffee!

I don't know if it's better or worse when companies email me just to tell me they don't want to interview me or when they just ghost me....

I’m sorry cheeky … job hunting is the absolute worst!

Piggybacking on the Bill Nye post

 

[crazychemgirl]

Though I love me some Bill Nye … he’s really disappointed me in the last year on tiktok … he’s been promoting brands … which, whatever… every celebrity does this… but he was promoting paper towel… which as a scientist I don’t know that we should be supporting non-sustainable things. I use paper towel and I feel guilty doing so because I know it’s such a waste.

Good morning all!

It is kind of a waste. Not referring to the paper towels in this sense. So many scientists that have a platform, have to earn our attention and our respect with their credibility. Bill Nye is a guy who we grew up with, and have come to trust automatically. So it's a shame to see him plugging brands, when he could be getting us to look at problems.

To be fair I think he’s been shouting at the wind for decades now trying to get the world to wake up … rather unsuccessfully

True, but he didn't cave in Stallone's sternum. I think we should give Dolph Lundgren next at-bat.

I want it to be on the record that you’re the one who brought up your knife issues.

I would never give you less than an amazing aural donut experience.

Cute, but I tell people all the time

I’m not allowed to carry a knife… not since that one time.

Looking forward to it as I haven’t had a good donut experience since the 90s

That’s a long time…. I have a good donut experience at least once a month. Seems like a waste of good donuts if we don’t let ourselves enjoy them.

I remember going to a party once and there was a girl who wore a sundress without wearing panties underneath it. Needless to say, she got the attention from a few of the guys there. Lesson being: Don't go to a party wearing just a sundress without anything underneath it and expect nothing to happen.

I believe the kids refer to that as the ’finding out’ portion…

Skipping out on donuts for almost 30 years? I have to buy at least two a month and do the whole pretending their glasses thing. Then I eat them and I get really happy. Get yourself a donut

I think it’s sad that in our world we as women are still requiring to be concerned about what we wear … maybe a woman likes #freebushing and yet she has to be worried about rapey men. Get your shit together men.

Geez, if I ever go commando (and I have) there are max 2 people who know: me, and possibly one man I tell about it.

It was once said that the great Roman road was so safe that a 15yo girl could travel it from east to west safely, wearing only a thin shirt.

You have to concern yourself with what you wear, when, where you go. Can you drink if you're there? Did you bring a buddy to watch your drink? And then if something does happen. You have to learn a lesson from it, because you should have known better. It's a shitty deal

Haven't trusted him since Deflategate.
How does a supposed scientist not consider the Ideal Gas Law?

Sorry. Still too soon.

I think that’s one benefit of getting older as a woman … the invisibility of middle age women. There’s never a concern about my safety anymore… no one pays me any mind.


But ya.. it is a shitty deal. It shouldn’t be that way … a woman should be able to wear whatever the fuck she wants and have no concern for being ridiculed or raped.

It’s incredibly unfair because it’s almost surely a way to attract some eyeballs, but that’s where it should stop. What’s so unfair is that women have to self-police, knowing that men, as a whole, can’t be trusted to police themselves in those situations.

And I know I’m not innocent of this myself.

I am not able to trust that.

Well, that's what you do if you're classy.

...and now we're all singing it!

Leave me out of this

I'd rather know!! But both suck.

Exactly! Men not being able to self-police is the issue …. Because as a bisexual woman there have been many occasions I’ve stared far too long at an attractive women and objectified her appearance (hell we do it daily here)… but I’ve never once had the urge to force myself on her.

That is the problem. It is fine to look but men seem to think if they see something on a woman they are somehow entitled to have her. It is a sickness
