Fascists will tell you that women shouldn't do science, that they're less good at it, and that they don't even like it. They should be at home tradwifing it up for some dude.🤡

#birds #science this is really comical, I had to laugh out loud reading it: Apparently biologists have been so sexist that female birdsong was represented in their research like as 0. something% of the whole. We were all taught, that female birds don't sing.While it is much closer to 50 %, somewhat less in the northern hemisphere. Is there any place men are not projecting their crazy worldview on? We see what we project outward, wherever we look, I 'spose. But this strikes me as rather funny. Really. I mean... Does it ever stop...at anything..
it reminds me of men that shush women that laugh" too loudly". https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/19/hidden-world-of-female-birdsong-book

Are USians seeing news stories in the US press on this worldwide progressive meeting in Barcelona? #USpol

Hi everyone! I'm new here, so here's an #introduction

I've been a ballet dancer since I was 3, and outside of the ballet studio I really love cooking good food, traveling, and spending time in nature.

I'm likely AuDHD, my favorite video game is stardew valley, and I have strongly held opinions about wine.

!!! Sorry all, but when someone asked for a source, I found this:
"Case in point: a viral screed currently circulating under the byline Oliver Kornetzke — a Substack writer whose only publishing footprint is, well, a Substack blog started a few months ago."
