every time i watch derry girls i am reminded of this video we watched in school about the troubles. a tv journalist was talking about being on assignment in derry and one night she met a girl who was about 16 or 17 in the women’s bathroom of a pub. they were chatting and when the girl realised she was a journalist she said, “what are you doing here? sure, nothing ever happens in derry.” the journalist was so struck by that statement, but then she realised that this girl had lived her entire life under the shadow of sectarian violence, it wasn’t that she was ignorant or apthetic towards it, she just didn’t know any other life. and thats what makes derry girls such a special show, you have this group of teenagers who are just living their lives and being idiots and then every now and then we as viewers are forced to acknowledge the true horror of the world they are living in.

i mean the fact that people studying science aren’t actually FORCED to learn the social contexts of their own fields is completely ridiculous i remember being in a neuroscience class and the professor mentioned phrenology but all he said abt it was that it was like. factually incorrect. he didnt even mention that it was used to support racism and eugenics and he DEFINITELY didnt talk about how the SAME fallacies that drove scientists to look for defining characteristics in people’s skull shape a hundred years ago are NOW driving scientists to look for gay genes and autism genes and genetic racial profiling

#i love science as much as the next person but uh...#scientists absolutely need more grounding in ethics and histories and sociology/anthropology #especially in medical fields when you are applying SCIENCE to PEOPLE #with a queue and a song

People talk a lot about how stupid the “he missed the charge port on his phone so he’s an alcoholic” thing in BBC Sherlock was, but not nearly enough people make fun of “I need to guess this guy’s password, so let me take a look around the guy’s desk since that’s obviously how he decided his password” and saw a pic of Margaret Thatcher and went “yo it’s gotta be Thatcher” and was 100% correct

“Seeking joy has been an active practice, because joy doesn’t come easily for me. I’m prone to long periods of fog, as you’ve called it, and if I don’t seek (and make) light, I would stay in it even longer, would possibly never emerge. I swear by keeping routines, which includes taking care of my body—eating enough, sleeping and waking at regular times, getting fresh air, that sort of thing. I also put limits on things that smother my joy; for me, this is primarily the internet, which provides endless messaging that I am not doing enough, am not good enough, and just generally steals my attention and energy, which I would prefer to use on things which nourish me. I believe in the power of creating small joys, instead of waiting for a big one to arrive miraculously in your life. I made a list of these joys so I can refer to it when I’m deeper in the fog, like a menu to order from. 100 joys. They’re simple, but effective—things like bubble baths, calling a friend, dancing, buying flowers, eating dark chocolate, a cup of tea. Some months, I have to challenge myself to meet a quota, when I’m feeling very down. It helps. Little step after little step. Little light after little light.”

— Leila Chatti, from an interview with Sneha Subramanian Kanta in Parentheses Journal, Issue 10 (via skgroutpoetry)
