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.

@poetaster lol. Nope. I am trained to work with radioactivity. So, obviously: not on my nails

[freyablekman@fediscience.org]

@danielaKay Oh I love that petrol metallic. Wonderful! My compliments

[freyablekman@fediscience.org]

@piebob yeah exactly, it's that one!

[giliell@mastodon.social]

@freyablekman I hope the young lady gave him an ear full

[freyablekman@fediscience.org]

@Lunaphied if you search for magnet cat eye nails I'm sure you'll find something similar. These are relatively simple, people do a lot fancier things by now. There are, of course, also YouTube tutorials.

@LisaLobmeyer a web search for magnet cat eye would do the trick. You need special polish (that comes with a magnet) These are relatively simple, people do a lot fancier things by now. There are of course also youtube tutorials.

@su_liam I think the first nail polish in the 1920s was car paint, supposedly. So we'd be full circle

[freyablekman@fediscience.org]

@Giliell not sure. But she's been made aware of this thread.

[freyablekman@fediscience.org]

@ditsch42 @afewbugs yeah classic nail polish and acetone are a good way to leave polish everywhere. The various gel nail types that require setting/curing (just like epoxy) are probably OK though

@freyablekman
There is physics in everything, so this guy is just a misogynist supremacist, thinks he’s a “serious man” but he’s profoundly unserious, and doesn’t even know it.

[bonkers@nerdculture.de]

@freyablekman but you obviously don't do elementary physics

[axel@hsnl.social]

@freyablekman
Gorgeous!
You had them done somewhere, I presume?

[andrew_shadura@mastodon.social]

@freyablekman where can I get this?!
Great nails.

[giantspecks@sfba.social]

@freyablekman my god they’re full of stars

[maria@camp.smolnet.org]

@freyablekman the only reasonable response to that is "bitch, i contain multitudes"

[hindsight@mstdn.social]

@freyablekman Oh dear...

I do wish you hadn't added this..

Until then I had a perfect reason for my inadequacy in physics at shool and beyond ;-)))

[sal@brain.worm.pink]

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

[ljrk@todon.eu]

@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???
