i will say that looking up the description for my signals and systems courses and trying to decide how to classify it is preferable to trying to deal with a request for an under-specified bespoke gpa calculation

would appreciate if my union would not send me political spam texts addressed to my dead mom

or really any kind of tranny

Nobody wants a sad tranny in their grad program

Or maybe I should just give up on this idea

Every Trans Suicide Is A Murder By Those In Power News came this week that transgender athlete and student Lia Smith took her life at just 21 years of age.

1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead.

Her death was ruled a suicide.

But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power.

Trying and failing how to do everything complete alone

No support, no friends

just a sad ugly tranny

maybe there’s just no place in science for me

How hard is it for ucsf to display the correct reference ranges for lab tests?

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

put it off for long enough already, no real cost but stress

might as well do some last minute phd applications this cycle

I'm so glad you said this, because about 30 seconds ago, I published a newsletter piece detailing how conservatives have dump-trucked through all of the previously established common sense, nuanced, compromise positions on trans rights to get here: burns-notice.ghost.io/what-would-t...

can the hayward fault wait another hour next time? this is a little too early to wake up

strongest earthquake i can remember in a long time

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women.

The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

you'd think 'how do we optimize hrt to best achieve patient goals' would be way more studied than it actually is. instead we largely have endocrinologist folk wisdom and anecdotes

requiring applicants to not only manually re-enter most of their transcript but also track down a course catalog to copy and paste course descriptions for dozens of courses from years to decades ago is absurd

wish i could just spend all day cloning

I will grudgingly admit that it is occasionally nice to spend a sunday morning reading Nevada and watching movies instead of being in the cell culture room

I'm happy people can read the final version of this paper! See what happens when we detach heterochromatin from the nuclear periphery in mouse stem cells:

And yep - we found that the nuclear membrane protein LAP2b cooperates with lamin B1 to maintain nuclear integrity. When both are depleted, we see lamina defects and nuclear ruptures that look like this (cyan is nuclear lamina, magenta is nuclear integrity reporter): (5/n)

Lamin B1 and LAP2β resist cytoskeletal force to maintain lamin A/C meshwork organization and preserve nuclear integrity | Molecular Biology of the Cell The nuclear lamins are extremely long-lived proteins in most cell types. As a consequence, lamin function cannot be effectively dissected with temporal precision using standard knock-down approaches. ...

The nuclear lamina strengthens the nucleus and organizes the genome. So what happens when you acutely degrade it in living cells? Not what we thought! (1/n)
