    @freyablekman That the teacher might not be totally wrong, and that this has nothing to do with your nails.

    @wolfram_roesler And WHY should that stop me showing my nails? Sorry I just don't understand. Maybe it's my woman brain? Or my years of experience of microagressions? I DEMAND an explanation why YOU can read what is inside a teacher's brain and I cannot?

      So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

      @freyablekman woah, I love the look of your nails!

      And someone should throw feminism at the teacher...

        @freyablekman How did my Mastodon algorithm know I am back on my way from CERN? 🧐

          @freyablekman Hear hear. I have a PhD in high energy physics, and I have done my nails a lot too. I don't do it so much these days because my nails rip very easily. Anyway, I particularly love the magnetic nail polish where you can use a magnet to create field lines as they dry. If that's not for physicists, then who!?

            @wiebiwetter @veronica They're magnet cat's eye design. Most nail salons know how to do them. Many combos of base colour and multicolor pigments possible, of course 🙂

                  @freyablekman @veronica Ahh, okay!
                  So far, I've always done my nails myself, so that would definitely be the next step... My new gold standard are your iridescent nails anyways... 😆 Like iridescent clouds ☁️😍

                    @OverclockedAndy @freyablekman I still don't know how Dolly Parton plays guitar with those super done up nails on both hands. I mean, long nails on the picking hand is nice, it's like having finger picks. But she's got those mini-daggers on her fretting hand she can still play chords. The moment I have ANY nail above the quick on my left, if I want to play remotely worth a damn, I have to trim them. But she adapted with open tunings and barre and and low string fretting. Amazing!

                                        @jeroen interesting enough ther is some research that says college (if you mean college as 18+, I realise it changes per culture) is too late and the brainwashing happens much much earlier (12-14 ish). I hope your daughters get to do what sparks their interests and are not discouraged by stereotyping teachers !
