So we have been doing a family holiday project for a few years...

2015 Mattatall Gingerbread Project: it all began with a grade 8 math project

2016 Mattatall Gingerbread Project: the house teen was obsessed with a film about flesh wounds

2017 Mattatall Gingerbread Project: we were all obsessed with a little Duffer Brothers sci-fi horror series

2018 Mattatall Gingerbread Project: house teen wanted to explore moments in rock history (my favourite so far so deserves two tweets!)

2019 Mattatall Gingerbread Project: we finished the theme appropriately on Festivus

... so you might wonder what we have been working on for 2020
Well, with the crap year that it has been we decided to do two Mattatall Gingerbread Projects!
2020 Mattatall Gingerbread Project (1): junior house tween chose hers to be her favourite show

2020 Mattatall Gingerbread Project (2): house teen and I have been working up to this and I think it will be our best!
Days of planning 🤓
So far we have the stage set and are putting the final touches on the cast... no clues, just photos (feel free to guess in gif form)
Set is ready... thankfully it didn’t require decoration as we have 25 characters to ice with 14 colours!

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
