There's so much to comment on, and I'm seeing it all right now. What the state of science is. What this means for the queer community. All of that.

But fuck, I think I might genuinely start crying over this. As a transgender biologist, this feels like a brutally personal blow. I slowly accepted my gender alongside my biology education. The more misinformation that was spewed about "biological sex" by mainstream media, the more my professors, colleagues, and primary sources would casually drop information that proved they have no idea what they're talking about. I'm not an expert on sex determination, gender, or transgender biology specifically by any means. But my worldview has been crafted by my studies in genetics and molecular biology.

Engaging with this research helped me demystify transition. It helped me optimize my transition. It helped me explain how HRT and other steps of trans healthcare work to other people. And it helped me overcome my own internalized transphobia, and finally start transitioning, despite knowing I wanted to since my preteen years.

Who knows how enforceable internal guidelines like this will be. But its certainly going to scare a lot of researchers away from transgender healthcare and science in the coming years, and that breaks my heart.

i saw go before me, a great impossible thing

This is bat friendly street lighting, which not only looks sick as fuck but allows bats to pass through without disturbance, as they cannot see red.

the thing about these plays is, they are deemed THE source of info on cimrman – the people acting them out call themselves cimrmanologists and the “perfromance” is always divided into two parts: the seminar and the play itself. the plays span a variety of genres (though all of them are to huge extent comedies) and the seminars always present a sort of background, be it historical context in cimrman’s life or any other relevant information

Knew a guy who made a sign “Jára Cimrman probably never had a lunch in this house”

[Trans: picture 1: extraordinary man for ordinary country, Jára Cimrman, the candidate for the president of the Czech Republic, support me’

#cimrman was the first man on the moon

Not in person!

However!

He has made some significant changes to the traditional beekeeping costume, which, as you may see, is notably similar to the astronaut suits used by the members of the Apollo 11 mission, and there is more than enough evidence to support that these suits were directly inspired by him

For this, and an (although unsuccessful) attempt at creating an artificial black hole, he was voted to be a honorable member of the Czech Astronomy Association at their 2017 conference

But - what I think is also a great Jara Cimrman’s tradition - the school didn’t have the name, any name, for 45 years and then in 2015 they just decided to call it “The elementary art school of Jara Cimrman”.

And they also use this:

The photo says: “In summer 1887, Jára Cimrman came to Franzes Bad to play with bad’s band invited by the owner of the Hotel Kaliště and wholesaler of mud, mr. Karl Kota. J Cimrman is caught on this precious photo just in the moment of playing his favourite C-Dur.”

you all. May we meet on a

better occasion.”
