@deboraha I firmly believe that statistics as a discipline survives in pop culture only because the stats gays write queer footnotes
I don’t know how many people who follow me get gel nails done (or do them at home) but please read up on acrylate allergies if you do. It’s an easy, painful allergy to get, especially from home gel kits, and once you do, it can ruin your life. You will not be able to get most dental work, or implants that need to be adhered to bone (like hip/joint replacements). Even surgical glue to close incisions. Plus so much more: acrylates are in so many common products, from utensils to hair gels.

Fediverse folks:

Using cutesy extended font tricks like ₜₕᵢₛ basically triggers a denial of service attack on folks who use screen readers.

Instead of saying "this" it says "Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small T Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small H Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small I Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small S"

Let's be cool the folks who have to use screen readers to participate in our community and don't do that.

(This is another case in which quote tweeting would’ve been helpful.)

Not sure about the pasta off hand, but DNA spirals to the right, not the left like in the picture
