FAVORITE LADIES | paris geller (gilmore girls)

So, I’ve already made up a list of enemies, which I’ve narrowed down from 26 to five. Just at Yale? Just in this building.

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:

Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

thepsychicclam

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

breelandwalker

On the day when I stop reminding geekboys who shame the female geek contingent that WE STARTED THIS SHIT, you’ll all be getting a visit from my cackling ghost. Who will then proceed to reblog this FOR ALL ETERNITY.

I WAS JUST AT WAL-MART AND THEN

Little boy: Mommy, why is Wonder Woman not wearing any pants?

The Mom: Because Wonder Woman has amazing thighs and she could crush men with them if they insult her.

Little Boy: I wanna be Wonder Woman.

The Mom: Don't we all.

@ people deploring the lack of “civility” and “politeness” from the left after the election

I think I remember reading in an ask.fm response by @hbomberguy something along the lines of, “your goal in life shouldn’t be not to be a dick, but to be a dick to the right people”, and I feel like that’s generally a good mentality. Like, if you really want to stand up for what’s right in the world, you’ve got to abandon any commitments you might have to being a “nice” person universally, given how useless of a response that is to displays of abject evil.

Exactly. Kindness is paramount, but if kindness to someone necessitates ignoring or accepting the dehumanization of others, save your kindness for someone more deserving.

Meet Japanese Grumpy Cat, Who Is Even Grumpier Than The Original One

Meet Koyuki, the Scottish fold cat that is angrier than Grumpy Cat, and with whom Koyuki will no doubt battle one day for Internet supremacy. She has been hiding out for nine years in Yokohama, and now, as the hour for battle draws near, the only thing you need to remember is: “There can be only one!”

nonlinear-nonsubjective

is anyone else annoyed by the stereotype that young people’s phones are a loud and annoying device? because i have never heard anyone under 30 who doesn’t have their phone on vibrate. like 100% of the time if the marimba ringtone starts blaring it’s the older generations.

Certain breeds of dogs such as the Golden Retriever can be grown on potted plants. They take roughly 5 months to mature and takes nutrients from the sun and water during this time.

You mean… Golden ReTREEver.

Your dreams forgotten, your horrors effaced. Your bones will turn to sand. And upon that sand… a new god will walk. One that will never die. Because this world doesn’t belong to you or the people who came before. It belongs to someone who has yet to come.
