Hi Everyone! I’m planning on adding stuff here but first enjoy your new weekly mega <3

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

    CW: Transphobia and sexism:

    spoiler

    One of my professors can barely contain how bitter he is about having to curb his transphobia and sexism “We’re going to do a goodness of fit test on which gender shops more, sorry if that’s sexist. I’ve had to deal with a lot of talks about this before so I just want to make sure no one is offended” and then later “We’re talking about biological sex by the way, I’m just going to say that because you have to be so careful these days.” It’s such a cowardly way to signal your contempt. Like seriously, grow the fuck up and be professional. It’s not hard to not be a bigoted fuck.

    Funny enough it’s always math related professors that are the worst with this, any classes related to biology seem to have way less bigoted stemlords teaching them.

      One of my math profs was an absolutely brilliant guy, born in the USSR but moved here in the 90s as an adult, also a climate change denier.

      Some of those limp transphobes I’d rather just call me a slur than have them hide behind soft ass language
