A new study introduces two yellow #fluorescent proteins—mGold2s and mGold2t—that are significantly more #photostable than commonly used alternatives such as mVenus and mCitrine. Using these new #YFPs, researchers were able to extend imaging durations across diverse modalities including widefield, total internal reflection fluorescence (#TIRF), super-resolution, single-molecule, and laser-scanning #confocal microscopy.

A research team developed a budget-friendly method for adapting confocal microscopes for Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (#TIRF) microscopy. The paper presents “a simple and cost-effective method to build a #prism-based TIRF setup on a laser scanning confocal microscope. The setup is affordable, and users can use both #confocal and TIRF modes in the same setup with the same light source and optical components.” Learn more: https://ilphotonics.com/inexpensive-high-resolution-single-molecule-microscopy/

Trans women are not men. On the topic of sexual violence, framing the two as being part of the same oppressive group vis-a-vis nontrans women based on shared “maleness” not only misunderstands sexual violence but also dismisses how trans women are similarly victimized.

The joke of misogyny is that women have any rights at all.This reality is proven in BDSM porn because it's illegal to torture a person with rights. It's a fundamental right to not have to endure torture yet women are forced to endure it in capitalism just to keep a roof over her head&food on the table

Makeup is only feminization in opposition to the stoic unbeautified masculine.When men wear make up they call it war paint.Two separate impulses,one is inferiorization&one superiorizes.This division is false&paints aesthetics as feminine&logic as exclusively masculine.

Porn trains young men to view women in a particular light. Porn trains a young man's mind by the normalization of power dynamics of domination over women (and girls). Society reaffirms what he sees in the porn. Porn is not subversive to patriarchal society.

There's a kind of person who thinks women getting shamed for sleeping with men is occasionally about misandry, as if using violently misogynistic language is ever grounded in seeing men as 'evil' or 'defilers.' It's not! If you see women as 'ruined' by sex, it's always misogyny,no exceptions!

I hate that men who watch porn while living in a patriarchy walk the earth breathe the same air and are among us living normal lives. i wish consumption of porn was a deal breaker in every relationship between a man and a woman in this society.
