Fabian GiesenFUN FACT: the "nano" prefix ultimately descends from Ancient Greek "nanos", which means "dwarf".
Consequently, translating "nanotechnology" as "dwarven machinery" is arguably defensible.

TattieJust one trans woman's opinion, but I hold that the ideal way to recover from accidentally misgendering a person and being called out is to simply repeat the sentence, corrected. No apologies (or just a quick "sorry" or "pardon" if it flows), no justifications. It happens. We get it. Nobody's looking to shame anyone, only correct a mistake before it perpetuates.

Dr Zoyander Street#lgbtq folks in the UK, now might be a good time to see if you're eligible for the gonorrhea vaccine, which also provides protection against MenB #meningitis.
The 4CMenB vaccine, originally developed for meningococcal disease, was rolled out last year for folks most at risk of gonorrhea, such as gay and bi men. It's worth contacting your local sexual health services to see if they'll vaccinate you, even if you think you don't quite fit the inclusion criteria, as they will make an individual risk assessment based on your circumstances. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/4cmenb-vaccine-for-gonorrhoea-information-for-healthcare-practitioners/4cmenb-vaccine-for-prevention-of-gonorrhoea-information-for-healthcare-practitioners
@CaptainJanegay I've taken to wearing my sunglasses at work. It helps with both the migraines and with putting people off talking to me

@jen oh no, so sad to hear
forestineIf anyone else who has had top surgery but still wants to make "women's" sewing patterns has been looking, apparently the adjustment we're looking for is BMX (comes from Bilateral Mastectomy WIthout Reconstruction)
just sharing in #QueerSew in case anyone else was looking for it because it's been taking me awhile to figure out. note that the language is all centered around cancer survivors and is very gendered

The whole country shouting “A HANDBAG!?!” at the same time.
Kirsty@pandorablake there is a magic in hotels. I've been doing the occasional evening or overnight and like you, I can only dream of a week away from responsibilities. But even a short time being somewhere where there are no jobs for me to do! A place outside of reality!
