Well, well. I had been wondering where I seen/read her before, and then remembered that she had been a guest poster on Zinnia Jones blog at FTB some time ago on the topic of Trans People Need Abortion Access, Too. A salient portion illustrating the po-mo-madness of social constructionism:

First of all, not all women are capable of getting pregnant. Trans women can’t get pregnant, and a lot of cis women can’t get pregnant because of various health reasons. But they’re still women. Second of all, many non-women can get pregnant, such as trans men, non-binary people, and some intersex people. (Some of whom may or may not identify themselves as women.)

Those interested in the topic, or who tend to masochism, may wish to check out my comments thereat, including "conversations" with the estimable H.J. Hornbeck. Luxander's response to one of my sallies:

You’re continuing to make biological essentialist and dictionary-definition arguments requiring that we have biological defintions for woman: “produces ova/sperm”.

You are being willfully ignorant of the fact that gender and sex are separate social constructs and further comments of this type will be deleted. ...

Typical reliance on "social constructs" to justify highly questionable dogma. Although I suppose if you start off using that framework to begin with then that result is probably not terribly surprising.

BATON ROUGE -- The widow of a Baton Rouge officer who was killed in July during an ambush on police, said in an interview with CBS affiliate WAFB Tuesday, that she is pregnant.

“It’s divine intervention, it’s all God’s plan,” Dechia Gerald said. “It’s in his plan, I don’t know why and I can’t question why. I just have to move forward and in the days and years to come, I know it’s going to be difficult because the baby has no idea who his father is but it’s going to be my job that he does or she does know who its father is.”

Sounds like her god is a major asshole. Baby conceived, BAM! Dead father.

[CaptainFluffyBunny]

Maybe the goal was to look like an extra from Caddyshack or any other 70s-80s movie? I had clothes like that as a kid.

It's a popular style now. I don't understand why anyone would care that she is dressing like millions of other hipsters.

Because she is a mindless vindictive enemy of reason.

And she posted it looking for "oh no Becky-boo, you're awesomeness is never clothes dependant."

There are actual several good reasons to judge her clothes and hair. First, you are sending a message by how you dress and groom. If you dress thug, you're gonna be taken for a thug. One doesn't accidentally dye your hair blue, pink or flame red. You wear the uniform, don't be surprised if you're taken for one of the folk you're emulating. I still shake my head at the angry people of my fair city that got indignant that police were targeting young POCs that were dressed in gang colors.

Watson claims to be a skeptic and science communicator. Bill Nye may not be a scientist, but he dresses and sounds the part. He plays the role well. Dressing like Watson says you know where to find a flat white and pot. And she isn't young enough to play science nerd anymore. She's trying to be a professional, but it doesn't work. All while she makes fun of Trump's hair. People in glass houses.

That's what Welch never got about science babe, if you've got a schtic it better match the part.

Okay let's see what you got Captain.

First, you are sending a message by how you dress and groom.

Yup and in that picture she is dressing like millions of other people dress everyday.

If you dress thug, you're gonna be taken for a thug.

Or an hip hop artist.

One doesn't accidentally dye your hair blue, pink or flame red.

I did once. Jack and Manic Panic can be a tricky combination.

You wear the uniform, don't be surprised if you're taken for one of the folk you're emulating. I still shake my head at the angry people of my fair city that got indignant that police were targeting young POCs that were dressed in gang colors.

I shake my head at people who think gangs get to choose what young POCs get to wear.

Does he? Cause he dress like a three year old/

Lamb is expensive around my parts so I don't often get it even though I really like it. The other day one of the local grocery stores had some ground lamb on quick sale so I got and made a shepherd's pie for the first time. It was okay and two thirds of the kids really enjoyed it.

I counted it as a win.

Shit... my dog just got blasted in the face by a skunk. The little ass-hole thinks he was put on this earth to attack small mammals.

My daughter was smokin a joint on the back porch with her boyfriend. The dog was sitting next to them when... bam... he bolted off the porch at a skunk.

I think it blasted him right in the face. I washed him three times outside with dish liquid, peroxide, and baking soda. I washed him two more times in the basement tube with the same mix.

I can't get the smell off from his license tag. I have it soaking in vinegar.

Haha... the whole house stinks and my wife is pissed as hell.

[comhcinc]

John tomato juice is the answer. Soak the dog and the tags in tomato juice.

Also I have nothing against Nye but a lot of people think he is jerk.

My wife worked with him when she was working in TV. Said he was very cool and much like his public persona, albeit with more swearing. She was (and is) quite attractive, and he never gave any indication that he was a poon hound. Enthusiastic and nerdy.

We all evaluate and make judgements about appearances. The judgements vary according to our experiences, but it is disingenuous to say we don't make them.

You've got it the wrong way round. The young POCs choose to wear what the gangs wear. Because young POC culture is intricately involved with gangs via music, the media, social media, and all else.

I wasn't talking about his personal life, even though there are plenty of stories of him being a jerk to fans, I meant that he comes off as arrogant to a lot of people in his role as a science communicator. Yeah and a lot of people that have an issue with him do it so for political reasons but I think he makes it easy for them. I mean fuck, he is calling his new show Bill Nye Saves the World. That's an arrogant title for a tv show.

How meh? If you're serious, you're psychologically unique. We've evolved and survived for millions of years by our ability to peercieve threats. We evaluate people very carefully. You said you worked the door of bars as a bouncer, you have to use All sorts of clues from dress, grooming and behavior, especially how a person carries themselves. I've done that job, you don't pretend people are all the same and survive.

Meh as in I was acknowledging your comment will dismissing as something I really want to discuss.

The problem with your bouncer analogy is the person who we are talking about being judged (Watson) looks like a hipster which is such a normal part of our culture at this point that even taco bell are using them in their commercials.



My point that discussing what she looks like and chooses to wear endless is pointless. Nothing is gain other than she is following normal fashion trends and on the other hand everyone sounds like 13 year old girls being catty. I mean if we just have to act like a gossip site can't we pick someone interesting instead of an out of work pothead?

No. If it's alright with you, I will keep my lonely watch upon the wall.

She is not operating in a vacuum. She has hurt people and will happily hurt others out of spite.

So I've been treating my skin (not really a treat) with topical 5% Fluorouracil cream for the past 2 weeks in order to remove some basal cell carcinomas and other sun-damaged skin. I'm here to tell you that it is not a pleasant experience. Granted, it does seem to be very effective in removing the little bastards, but boy is it uncomfortable. At first, my face looked like I walked into the business end of a 12 gauge shotgun, but now that the treatment is over, it looks (and feels) as if I have a bad road rash on my face.

I was lucky, because I could stay mostly inside for a couple of weeks. I couldn't imagine going to work looking like this. Mostly, it just hurts. Has anyone else had to do this? I suppose I shouldn't complain. Through the magic of biochemistry, I'm getting rid of something that would have probably killed me eventually. Next up...my shoulders. I can't wait.

The charge against Dawkin's that resulted in he not going to one conference. Now isn't the basic opinion around here that cons are all big jokes anyway?

She has a small number of people who will give her money if she ask. Good for her, pot isn't free.

She got a speaking at a con which again many here say are big jokes.

Mythmakers? Mythbusters? That show that isn't on the air anymore? Good for her. Who cares? Are you jealous?

You might ask Skeptickle about that dox that Watson relayed, or the speakers she's blacklisted, or any other number of people she's stomped on. Or even those of us that don't like being accused of being MRAs or rape apologists.

Yes Skep was doxed. And the fall out was what exactly? If the ability to dox someone makes you powerful then lots of 14 year olds are to be feared. Again with the cons. Are cons really really important and controlled by important people who should be listened to or are they jokes? I don't care which people choose I just want consistency. She has talked shit about people. So have I. So have you. So have all of us. Outside of skeptic cons (which may or may not be important) what effects has that have?

She is a nobody. Focusing on her now is pointless.

The only problem I have every had when it comes to skin is chromhidrosis which doesn't really compare. Just makes me look like a dirty immigrant.

Black Lives Matter protesters close London City Airport runway

Flights at London City Airport were disrupted after protesters gained access to the runway.

The Met Police said it was called to the site at about 05:40 BST after nine protesters erected a tripod and "locked themselves together" on the runway.

The Black Lives Matter UK movement confirmed it was responsible for the protest.

That's a terrific reason for arresting and fining them. I'd also claim damages if I were airport director.

[feathers]

I read about that the other day. My favorite line:

"highlight the UK's environmental impact on the lives of black people locally and globally"

"World to End Tomorrow - women, minorities hardest hit"

Because blacks take the train when visiting Africa? Think carefully before you answer, BLM.

Also found out today an R01 I helped with might actually get funded. I could not be a PI on it, as the call was for Big Wigs/Collaborations, but my data was the foundation, and getting it funded gives me substantial breathing room+connections to get a K99/my own money. Its huge. Im going to throw up.

I have very little idea of what much of that means, but it seems good - so congrats!

Ditto. :dance:

A K99 eh? Google tells me:
"an independent tenure-track or equivalent research position. Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00)"

If people want to talk about someone (or anyone) - then who am I (or who are you) to say they shouldn't talk about them?.

As far as shit-talking goes do you think it is really making that big a difference to her life what someone on the Slymepit says? Did it make any difference to the people you chose to shit-talk about?

The importance or lack thereof of conventions is an emergent property - some are better than others - their relevance and quality may change. Like the curates egg they can be good in parts.

Right - so you want people to be consistent, to have a point and to talk about things that are relevant. I suspect most of us get the conversations that we are looking for - so the best thing to do would be to lead by example.

And good luck in your future Internet endeavours / interactions.

Cousin marriage is a cultural practise that leads to economic concentration of wealth and resources within a family. It just happens to be endorsed in the religion. I doubt it would have got much traction getting started if it did not.

Where it went wrong was in not forbidding it like the Christian church did. The Church apparently wanted to break the power of the local elites and forbidding cousin marriage was a good way of reducing the accumulation of family power by the resources it controlled.

I doubt anyone was thinking too much about genetics in those days. Rather the focus was on power and the accumulation thereof.

Which leads to a number of power islands in the country, each of which is vying for power, effectively making democracy in such countries unattainable.

The judge, who described Choudary as calculating and dangerous, passed the same sentence on his confidant Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, 33.

Both men were also sentenced to a notification order lasting 15 years, which requires them to tell police if details such as their address change.

R01 = grown ups research money. no way anyone would/should give me this kind of money these days.
K99 = newbs research money (me). really fucking hard to get. government can bail on you if you fuck up in the first couple years. hopefully leads to R01s.
Lots of other moneys = gotta catch 'em all if you dont get the K99, hopefully can eventually get an R01.
Also, R01 science is dead. So, theres that. Dont worry about it. Thats Future Abbies problem.

This grant maybe getting funded gives me time to get other money if I dont get the K99 (srsly, really fucking hard).

She politely understates this. I see power-PhDs who are brilliant in every way not get there. So this is a BIG DEAL. And it's tough phase in her career because now she has convince people that her work is worthy of research money and the NIH tends to be skeptical.

But, if her PI is good, s/he'll help her through the grant writing process and everything will work out.

PI is fantastic, collaborators are fantastic, I am (and have been) a lucky fucker getting support from people who want me to succeed. And I still might fail-- Ive seen people far more clever than me go bust. I don't take shit for granted. I try to soak up all the not-science lessons around me I can.

Com, I'm curious.

Now that you have ruled out a virtue signal that you have a firewall erected against the norms of a patriarchal society ......

Did you miscalculate but then become entranced in appalled wonderment?

Or was it a charmingly simple "I like that colour and feel the need to reflect it in my hair for others enjoyment". If so, would you consider a matching full face tattoo in that shade? Or would that be ... too much?

Maybe it was a "fuck you, I'm my own person" scream against the machine?

I need to know.

I just like unnatural hair colors. Simple as that. My hair has been pretty much the full Roy G Biv at one point or another. I don't get my picture took a lot so this is pretty much the best picture evidence I happen to have access to but I have been coloring my hair since I was a teenager.

I mean I can't say for sure if it's not a little bit of "look at me I'm so different" but I really don't think so. I just like it.

I like coloured hairs too, sartorially I'm pretty much a hippy myself.

It's unfortunate that dyed hair and retro glasses styles have become a badge for SJWs, but it has; betting on the lady above being an SJW would have been a good bet.

Dyed hair is a fairly popular fashion overall, but it seems to be a fashion followed almost uniformly among SJWs, there's no getting over it.

[Sunder]

It's worth drawing a distinction between people who dye their hair another, natural color vs. the ones selecting the kind of phony hues formerly reserved for anime women.

[feathers]

There are actual several good reasons to judge her clothes and hair. First, you are sending a message by how you dress and groom. If you dress thug, you're gonna be taken for a thug. One doesn't accidentally dye your hair blue, pink or flame red. You wear the uniform, don't be surprised if you're taken for one of the folk you're emulating. I still shake my head at the angry people of my fair city that got indignant that police were targeting young POCs that were dressed in gang colors.

Some 30 years ago, I saw a bald-headed teenager with a bomber jacket complain that he was tossed in with Neonazi skinheads who'd been using that very same outlook for some years. Well tough shit, someone hijacked your favourite hairdo and fashion style, so you'd better find something else aye.

(In fact, I suspect this teen has only adopted his outlook well after the streets were filled with shaven Lonsdale-wearing thugs, which makes it downright retarded to do the same.)

Dyed hair is a fairly popular fashion overall, but it seems to be a fashion followed almost uniformly among SJWs, there's no getting over it.

'Over' I can get, it's 'away from' that is umm, .... problematic.

There are actual several good reasons to judge her clothes and hair. First, you are sending a message by how you dress and groom. If you dress thug, you're gonna be taken for a thug.

Are there no depths that neo-nazis won't sink?

Shit... my dog just got blasted in the face by a skunk. The little ass-hole thinks he was put on this earth to attack small mammals.

My daughter was smokin a joint on the back porch with her boyfriend. The dog was sitting next to them when... bam... he bolted off the porch at a skunk.

I think it blasted him right in the face. I washed him three times outside with dish liquid, peroxide, and baking soda. I washed him two more times in the basement tube with the same mix.

I can't get the smell off from his license tag. I have it soaking in vinegar.

Haha... the whole house stinks and my wife is pissed as hell.

Tomato juice gets a fair bit, some enzyme stuff might get the rest. You'll find it in most pet stores, maybe even Wally World. Poor critter.

Given how sensitive a dogs nose is compared to ours how bad do you think it is for him? :o

Yeah... for sure. But... right after he got sprayed he rubbed his face on the grass for a while...and... then.... started looking for the skunk again. Asshole!

Anjem Choudhary gaoled for five years.
Vaz quits as Home Affairs Committee chairman.

Should have been 10 years. Also, he is likely to inspire other Islamist nutcases in prison, so he should be put in solitary.

Oh, and Abbie is the fucking best. No wonder talentless shit-slurpers such as Watson, Myers et al all hated her. They were jealous. There is nothing like a talented and successful woman that the SJWs hate more.

Here's to Arnie!

So the skunk has developed a way to punish the general, rather than the soldiers. Perhaps you can sell the concept.

Because she is a mindless vindictive enemy of reason.

No. She is a 30 something pothead who is past her 15 minutes.

I've got the feeling she is going to age really quickly as well. Nothing wrong with that of course. Just saying, tho.

[CommanderTuvok]

John D. - sorry to hear about your dog. He must be feeling like he's has popped his nose in at a SJW conference.

That would be a bad idea. I watched the vid, and this seems to be a chick who wants to piss standing up. She uses that thing to direct the stream.

lol. I didn't finish it. She was whinging about chaffing. As for pissing through the thing... Yeah, druggies use those things to try and beat urnie tests. You can even buy powdered urine.

I don't drug test. As long as you show up to work clean, sober and aren't fucking up, I don't care what you do during your non-work time.
