"Once an ex-partner told me "You look better in jeans and a tshirt. Why do you wear dresses? Why do you wear make up? You don"t have to dress up to impress me." That moment led me to so many realizations. It made me realize that most people think femininity is an act to impress men. It was then that I was 100% sure my dressing up wasn"t for him at all, I didn"t at all care if a partner disliked my dresses, or makeup. I was wearing them for me. And it was then, that I realized that continuing to wearing dresses just for myself was a totally valid way to say a big FUCK YOU to the patriarchy." -- Amy Wibowo (@sailorhg), 2015-01-31 (posted as text 2015-03-04)

[This is not the most important point in the talk/article, just the one I felt like quoting today.]

Happy start of astronomical spring, y'all! (22:45 UTC / 18:45 EDT) I know some of you (including folks near me) have snow in the forecast. So I guess meteorological spring will be along a little later.
