Did anyone know it’s Nettie Stevens Day?
Isn’t Vox’s headline perfect?
Nettie Stevens discovered XY sex chromosomes. She didn’t get credit because she had two X’s.

Does anyone else feel guilty right now when they stay away from Facebook because they’re sick of the assholes on there and then they realize that minorities can’t just “stay away” from it because it’s there all the goddamned time?
I feel really shitty about my white dude privilege right now and even worse that it’s taken me this long to see it in front of me, anyone else?

Isn’t it good that you realize your privilege? Wouldn’t it make you feel somewhat better to share that knowledge when you can and call out racism when you see it and to continue to work for whatever small bit of change you can, even if that’s only your corner of the world?

Don’t I sometimes feel that way because of family and friends there but just can’t make myself create an account simply because of all the BS that happens on it?

Isn’t it annoying that when you don’t have a FB account, you get left out, as if there is literally no other way to get in touch with you, as if a phone call or email is somehow out of the question, or god forbid a letter?

Or what do you think about a WhatsApp group? Not in it? No pictures of birdsday parties. Sportingday, day out. Invitations to other stuff to do with the kids.

Could you guess I’m not on it? Can you guess I don’t haven extra phone? Can I say that people should do what they’re comfortable with?

Could this be something that makes me break down and get a smartphone? Should I worry about getting employment first?

If you do, would I be the last person around here still using a dumb phone?

There’s not as much BS as there are interesting ideas about what people consider “private,” you know?

Wouldn’t it be less of a worry if the recruiters quit asking for experience in things that I didn’t list on my resume?

Don’t recruiters just always look for what’s not on there and only want to talk about that?

So being in the job search part of life, what the hell is with insurance recruiters that go oh look a resume that says 17 years of Windows server support that person would be great for a sales position?
