Women get pushed out of STEM profession over and over and over again. It’s not a myth; it’s a lived experience for a lot of us.

“But you were probably not as good as you say you are!” Buddy, most of us don’t even get a chance to prove it!

When I wanted to continue in a PhD program after my master’s, I was told that I’m not dedicated enough for that life. Only because I’d go home at 5 pm everyday to have dinner with my husband. What my professor didn’t see that I came back to the campus around 8 pm and worked until midnight.

No amount of hard work will convince some people that you’re worthy of their respect. They have made up their minds long ago

You know what? I refused to play this game! Does that mean I’ve suffered professionally? Yes I did! But I didn’t want to compromise my mental health or whatever shred of self-respect I had for myself

Take your Halloween to the next level: durian carving

My favorite cashier at the local grocery store is wearing a full on Dorothy outfit complete with sparkly shoes. She looks super cute! (She’s probably in her 50s, but you can never tell with us Asians).

Asked her if her shoes were treating her okay so she could wear them some other times. Unfortunately they weren’t. #Halloween

@kimlockhartga @RickiTarr Damn I wanna be part of the church

PSA: don’t hit your children

@AnarchoNinaWrites God I’m so scared out of my mind about this election! Every democrat I know is preaching about hope and shit but deep in my gut I feel like Kamala might just lose at the last moment; because I feel like majority of American genuinely don’t want a woman of color as their president. Also her policies aren’t that remarkable.

It’s just my instinct though. I haven’t studied politics that much; I’m not even American.

All of this is to say, I really appreciate your thoughtful posts on this subject and also, you might be very much right

If you live in higher latitude regions of the world and have hard time getting up in the morning, invest in a sunrise simulator alarm clock. It’s a life changer.

(Other options would be timer sockets or home automation kits)

Anyway, currently watching Ant-Man #MCU #MCUmarathon

Target app shows reduced price when you order online. Which is kinda annoying, because if you’re like me you’d probably look up on the app if they have a particular stuff in stock and what are the prices, only to be greeted in the store with a completely different thing/price. I hate this

There’s a reason I don’t do horror movies, just horror books. Books I can close and walk away for a bit. But for movies I feel like, every sense is heightened to the max and there’s no escape #SpookySeason

I don’t understand why elementary school students have to get up so early to start their day. Next 6 years it’s gonna be brutal!

Sometimes I forget Egypt’s native name is completely different (it’s Misr/Masr). Interestingly that’s what we call it in Bengali

Autistics need a secret hand signal, so we can plan our escape together at parties #Neurodivergent #AuDHD

Is being an idealist considered a weakness?

I don’t understand people’s allegiance to corporations
In general, I don’t trust corporations; specially those who spend significant amount of time and effort to maintain a certain image. If your product is good and reasonably priced, then you’ll always have loyal steady customers. It’s not that hard

@waitworry Don’t say that aloud, fanboys are gonna descend in the replies and argue how dare you talk about the shitty products of their corporate overlords. Also you’re probably trying to be click bait-y (an actual conversation I just had, FML)

The doctor said I don’t need a covid vaccine because I just got infected. And I feel like I need a second opinion on that. Thoughts? #covid #vaccines
