@anildash@simon um...how about @timnitGebru? Who is amazing! Very technical and thoughtful, and has been fighting the good fight for quite some time now.
@anildash@simon@timnitGebru This might not actually be the case here, but as a woman who has been in tech, I'm very familiar with the phenomenon of a woman saying something again and again, and none of the men hear her until a man repeats what she has been saying,
I'm sure no one in our community would be doing this, but I've been hearing about folks elsewhere grumbling about H1B workers and encouragement to call ICE on them.
Le me be clear, statements of this type are not only despicable, but are in violation of more than one of our Community Instance Rules. The first two that come to mind are "no Racism..." and "no harassment...".
@inarticulatequilter I've never had a show experience this bad before. We were in a dark corner of what was basically a food court. I had no idea it could be so bad. I only did it because a friend asked me to do it. I will have to have a talk with her, and see what was up with that.
One of the things that I love about Mastodon, is that when one posts about needing to see something beautiful to cheer up in the middle of dealing with something difficult...folks come up with some wonderful stuff!
I've been 'online' for a very long time. I've never had this kind of response to needing some cheer.
Edited to add: there are lot of others out there! Would love to see folks reply with instances Scientists and SciComm folks should check out. And to help folks in general find interesting science posts.
Had to leave early in the morning again today, so we could get to the Maker Faire early enough to prepare for the doors opening. I'm exhausted, but enjoying so many people saying my work is amazing....and giving short little 'lessons' on coding and chemistry and how I create my artworks, when people ask me to.
So I went with a simple pattern for today's drawing, before heading out this morning.
It's been such a busy weekend at the Maker Faire. So early this morning, on this last day of the Maker Faire, I drew some busy bees before we headed out.
Today's Mathtober prompt is "Polynomial". So, of course, I drew ants crawling along the curve of a polynomial equation. Especially since the ants were having a moment, yesterday.
Today's #SciArtSeptember prompt is "Membrane", so I decided to play with drawing a phospho-lipid bilayer. I usually draw these with black ink, but I felt like adding a little color today.
