relatedly today the british coworker i have an only maybe disproportionate grudge against learned which six flags are the six flags and as the rest of my labmates groaned in horror he was like "well... it's part of the history though" and like. listen. i know you haven't lived in the US before. but when the room universally reacts in horror at something they think is racist possibly you should ask any questions you may have about it in "question" rather than "immediate defense of the confederate flag" format

#other grudges i have against this guy is that he is one of the people who was #PRETTY CONDESCENDING about questioning the basic premise of my project during his interview. on a topic he'd never heard of before #because in fact he was failing to conceptualize one of the basic mechanisms by which cell biology operates #then we hired him anyway. which i slightly resent.#and now he's spent the last several months proposing experiments that overlap immensely with another grad student's project #using the extremely difficult method she spent like two years painstakingly developing #without actually talking to her�� telling her he was doing this‚ paying attention to what she says should and shouldn't work‚#or asking permission to use her unpublished results for his own stuff.#also he and his friend tried to go to the nyc tr/mp rally 'as a bit' to 'experience something very american'#and failed to get in due to overbooking but after he came back explained that actually no one in the line was racist to him! ppl were polit #and there were jews there! and other asians!#and i had to be like. yes. it's actually occurred to the right that token minorities and not reflexively beating the shit out of people the #think are acting as useful stooges is a good move. you're not blowing my mind by revealing my biases are unfounded right now #you just sound like an idiot.
