I'm a trans, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, nontraditional scientist and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
I will continue community building, outreach, and more.
I've been 'out' looong before lgbtq+ marriage was legal, been legally denied housing for being trans, and more.
I'm not done yet.

Today, I saw someone stumble and almost trip.
I immediately asked if she was ok.
She said yes, took a small pause, her facial expression softened and she said, "thank you for asking".
This isn't a 'I'm a good person' post. This is a 'why aren't more people treating others with softness' post.

Why is my version of 'relaxing' just learning non-work related new things? Lol
I'm supposed to be resting, hard to do with walking pnaumonia from a sinus infection, and my version of 'rest' is learning a new language - I'm at elementary level now 😅.
Are other people like this too?

Reading papers is a basic skill (and dare I say duty?) of scientists, and I include medical doctors in that group. Keeping abreast of the literature is a foundational part of our professions. There aren’t good shortcuts. In any case, reading papers regularly is fun.

this is a comic for kids, but we don't skimp on the science. (And one day I'll remember the emoji for the feeds) 🧪🔭
The quietest place in the Solar System (for radio waves at least) is the far side of the Moon. My latest comic with @makinaro.com looks at proposals for putting huge telescopes there, that could explore the cosmos before the first stars formed and find signs of distant aliens
Looking for aliens from the far side of the moon [COMIC]
Earth’s noise and light pollution can make it hard to detect signs of life on other planets. The solution? Telescopes that use the moon as a shield.

2 weeks ago I learned that someone at a dance social is a CODA because the person saw me signing a song.
This past weekend we are signing, now, inside jokes about songs we like and dislike, lesson funnies, and more.
I love this so much, both the dance and deaf community 🤟

I'm trying to post more to instagram (healthy mix of science, day in a life, dance, all things that are 'me'.
I will not be cross-posting. So, you can find me at the same handle over there.
These are my only 2 social media platforms lol. At least for now.

Having a very uncommon food allergy usually means I don't have to worry as much about this specific consumable.
On the flip side, it also means no one warns me before serving because they aren't even aware someone *could* be allergic to it.
Fun times racing home for meds this afternoon 😅

Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary of my top surgery!
This whole year I've been a happier, healthier, more "me" me because of it!
I had fought in 3 states, over 8 years to make it happen. I am still elated every day when I wake up from the happiness it brings :).

I try to live by the "give people their flowers while their alive" motto.
Someone (not assuming a gender) had an awesome shade of blue weaved into their braids. I told them I loved their hair. They beamed and said, "Thank you, I really needed that".
Give people their flowers, we all need them.

Is it still burnout if you still love your thesis topic but all the roadblocks are burning you out? Or is that called something else?

Woke up and read an article that said someone expected 80% of jobs to be replaced by AI in the next 10 years...and that the trick is to continue to learn until retirement.
I love learning (see being a grad student). I *want* to be taught, gain skills, and better understand things.

I've leaned a lot more into dance, friends, and prioritizing an hour of outside in the sun over the last bit now.
It's made a difference but still the worry is there.
I hope everyone is finding things and/or people to help ground them right now. 🤟
