that's so awful I'm sorry that happened to you 💔 some people just cannot conceptualize that there exists other people with unique life experiences and they can be just as knowledgeable about the same topics (and perhaps even more knowledgeable than they think). they need to get off their high horse fr. but I'm glad those other guys were able to see you as an equal.
YEAHH i was there and everyone was sharing a lot ab their lives & how it differed from place to place and it occured to me later like maybe i was being too open because i was just saying like yea my grandfathers a fisherman and my mother was the only one in her family to have recieved a higher education for so long until my brother left and then i just later decided that it didn’t matter because this is my life and i just refuse to present myself halfway because to me it’s disingenuous im not going to pretend my background isn’t my background just so these assholes are going to take me seriously i won’t do that. its smarter sure but like fuck those people i genuinely have nothing to apologize for here

its ok that you are 100 time zones behind me. because i love you

im genuinely so gagged cause i met an ex director of nasa and another guy who worked there too and these old white men talked to me like an equal even said they were impressed with me and asked me so many questions ab where id go from here but these women talked to me like i couldn’t conceptualize something as simple as a direct transaction just by virtue of being from where i am and like i don’t let this stuff affect me but i genuinely can’t get across in words how they talked to me. There was no malicious intent they were genuinely sweet and nice to me they just thought i was absolutely worthless and stupid and uneducated and uncivilized and god i need to rehydrate

i genuinely got home and cried my ass off because these people talked to me like i was an idiot like ? Girl just because im from an island doesn’t mean i dont know my shit i just don’t have the luxury of pretending like even space isn’t political or to like buy into platitudes
like this was what really upset me it wasn’t the guy it was these two women from Australia and Russia talking down to me when they treated everyone else like an equal and listen it pisses me off MORE because i know my shit i do and they explained the fucjing concept of a transaction to me like im not turning 20 this year!!!!! All the hostility i feel towards them rn is still better because at least it means im taking them seriously but they talked to me like i didnt know a thing like i was just some island bumpkin and fuck those women but unrelated i did cry my ass off when i got home because holy shit never in my life has someone ever treated me like i was nothing and no one and knew nothing and no one

lol ive been at a space conference for the past few days and me and my friends were having a private discussion ab this project we heard ab and this guy turned around and hes like do you know what that means though.. and thats not even what im genuinely mostly upset about
just like the blatant overtly hostile sexism was whatever that guy was just an asshole but these two women one of them like a 3rd year aerospace engineering student in sydney and the other one is a grad student in moscow and like. we were in a workshop together and i was like telling them ab my concerns ab why i thought their idea wasnt viable because they were like. Sorry what they were saying like they made it sound so simple but its actually not very easy to ease geopolitical tensions and change public opinion regarding space ESPECIALLY in a developing nation and we have to consider that and they started explaining how THE ECONOMY works to me like they literally were saying u buy something u recieve a return on ur investment later and it made me feel. so incredibly worthless and stupid because they talked to me like i was a child and genuinely i was so pissed because i knew they were wrong and i knew my shit. Like it’s one thing to dumb down thjnfs when youre talking to someone on the street but like at a conference ab a certain topic dont u… like how do u assume the people there don’t know ab the topic im soo like

daily reminder that boycotting is not a moral stance but a political strategy, so the whole “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” argument is not the gotcha you think it is
you can refer to BDS if you’d like a list of companies to focus your efforts on. you can refer to this website if you’d like to become more conscientious about what you’re buying and check for brands/products to avoid.
*please note that i am a palestinian who has been boycotting my entire life. do not try to explain to me in the tags or reblogs or replies what a targeted boycott is or complain about giving up your comfort for something that you (incorrectly) believe does not make an impact. being quiet is free. exercise your right to remain silent today.

also a serious romantic relationship is not something ive ever wanted all that badly and this was the only time i felt strongly enough ab someone to put aside my issues and really try and it blew up in my face so im counting myself out!!! Everyone have fun i learnt my lesson however
