14 powerful illustrations show that women can change the world 

Our society has a nasty habit of erasing women from its historical memory. Whether it’s because men have taken credit for their work or because their work has been ignored altogether, women who have undoubtedly contributed to our collective progress rarely get the acknowledgement they deserve.]

María María Acha-Kutscher intends to change that. See the rest of work.

That feeling; nostalgia, blast (or rather, a small droplet, its continued ripple) from the past. Calming, slightly ache-inducing, touching, comforting, yet slightly saddening, calling ~ study, reflection, processing, being. Lullaby to my Loves OneDay - maybe making love chanson

This Powerful Video Shows Men What It Feels Like To Be Subjected To Sexism And Sexual Violence

[constancecomment-deactivated201]

i really like this. it’s got the microagressions down in a lot of ways, also things like body language and posture? i recognized the men doing things and speaking in ways that women are trained to and it was awesome to see. also things like all the men being nurses or old secretaries in the police station and the hospital. there was also a moment of white feminism, which was interesting to see translated. basically, i like this a lot because it’s a pretty faithful mirror.

It is important for scientists to be aware of what our discoveries mean, socially and politically. It’s a noble goal that science should be apolitical, acultural, and asocial, but it can’t be, because it’s done by people who are all those things.

Love is patient, love is kind, love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way, it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes in all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
