I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics.

@freyablekman They just don't think that girls do physics period

@freyablekman Pfft gatekeepers. I'm a compsci girl who plays handball and wears nail polish and weird old school clothes. fuck those normative bullcrap.

also: love the polarised particle nail polish! Incredibly beautiful and well done :3

[hutterer@mastodon.social]

@freyablekman Gorgeous! I see that you applied that physics knowledge by using magnetic polish to great effect. I’m a chemist, and I also do my nails ️

@freyablekman@fediscience.org if we let scientists engage in normal and common modes of human expression, how would we a society???

@freyablekman As a dad of a 9yo who would love to learn more about STEM (I'm a CS grad, software developer by trade, trying my best to teach her stuff whilst giving her room to grow and do her own stuff):

how do you get nails like this?! they are so freakin' cool!!!

my kid would **absolutely love** this!! (and frankly, so would I!)

[ronjeffries@mastodon.social]

@freyablekman Lurvely!

[longspeak@chirp.enworld.org]

@freyablekman Shiny.

@freyablekman a beautifully painted middle finger to the sexist norms

@freyablekman Magnets made them look even better. Science!

[sherwoodinc@floss.social]

@freyablekman nailed it

@freyablekman

Fire the asses who say shit like this. Jeebus.

[heathborders@hachyderm.io]

@freyablekman fuck that guy. My son is the top physics student at his school, and if I heard this bullshit from his teacher, I'd take him to go get his nails painted that night

@freyablekman

You can certainly have bright red nails and help me replace my starter motor!

Attached: 1 image I have a much, much younger friend who wants to learn more about cars and how to fix them. I changed the starter on my 2008 v6 Accord today and she came over to help. Then we pulled codes on her car and checked all the lights in prep for her inspection. The license plate light wasn’t working … seems to happen much more often than it should. Her friend was practicing with press-on nails and she volunteered to be practiced on. I totally loved the contrast!!! #CarRepair #PressOnNails

And that in the year 2026.

What an idiot.

[tonymottaz@social.lol]

@freyablekman those nails are sick

[suburban_druid@mastodon.social]

@freyablekman Oh, that SLAAAPS!!

[ericthebeeover2@mastodon.au]

@freyablekman

I have just followed you entirely because of your fingernails. I don’t understand or follow any of that lefty science crap…

<sarcasm alert>

[kat_kime@hachyderm.io]

@freyablekman oh these are NIIIIIICE

[freyablekman@fediscience.org]

@axel yeah this I cannot do myself, it involves magnets (and UV light for setting the glitter pigments)

“Girls? In my field of study?” It's more likely than you think!
