Meet RISE

I keep seeing people mention how cute it is that the Artemis crew is playing with a plushie but I really want this little boy to get his flowers too!! Lucas Ye, an 8 year old from California, designed this plushie by hand. He won a contest, beating out thousands, to create the zero gravity indicator the crew would take on board to show the world they hit zero G.

I just know somewhere he’s watching the live streams or interviews and has the biggest smile on his face!! How awesome to see something you handmade end up in space being bopped around on a historic mission and doing endless cartwheels right in front of the entire world. I hope he’s the happiest kid right now! 🥹 I’m so happy and proud of him!!

So much thought put into his design!!

Don’t forget to imagine the best case scenario too

I don’t know if this is an obvious take or a hot take, but I think people need to start re-framing feminism as the fight for body autonomy as opposed to whatever this second wave revival gender essentialist bullshit we have going on right now. Once you reframe it in this way, it’s easier to understand intersectionality and why cis women are not the only people who need feminism. The lack of body autonomy effects cis women, trans people, intersex people, disabled people, poc, homeless people, sex workers, etc. and your feminism needs to include and prioritise all of these groups of people (which will include men btw) because feminism is about autonomy, not about establishing a matriarchy. Body autonomy is the biggest threat to the patriarchy, both with reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and even the right to not be drafted into military services. Once body autonomy is established for everyone, the patriarchy no longer has a leg to stand on.

And body autonomy does include things that you don’t personally like either. I was prompted to write this post after a series of bad takes from progressives, but one of them was re-hashing the Sabrina Carpenter album cover drama with “I don’t think it’s conservative of me to think that the album cover is a bad look when we’ve seen images of women being abused in this way” because I do actually think you’ve failed to understand feminism by projecting your morals onto a woman who was consensually expressing her own autonomy just because she expressed it in a way that you didn’t like or that made you uncomfortable.

Body autonomy also means unhealthy choices. Body autonomy also means regret rates. Body autonomy also means freedom of sexuality. Body autonomy also means mutilation. If you believe body autonomy has limitations and exceptions, then your feminism is most likely surface level.

TERFs are some of the biggest opponents to body autonomy, and if you find yourself thinking “oh people can do whatever they want with their bodies as long as it doesn’t harm them or make others uncomfortable” then you are far more susceptible to TERF propaganda than you think.

ooooh the radfems are BIG mad about this one

security-unit

I'm imagining like. space-youtube video essays but about various Incidents. murderbot is mostly pretty good at avoiding being clocked as a secunit (like. most of the time. when shit hits the fan it's not really... well. it's pretty hard to keep people safe AND keep pretending to be a human)

but would its deception hold up against the sci-fi equivalent of hbomberguy who initially was making a much smaller scale video but then kept piecing things together.....

can you imagine how much stir a video pointing out "hey I think all of these incidents are the same construct. y'know. the rogue one" would get if it was mysteriously deleted. the drama. someone would obviously point out that the guy who made the video could have deleted it himself to make it look legitimate and that would just make it worse. it's awesome

Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

sturionic

For anyone unfamiliar with Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the entire thesis is that traditional educational models promote oppression by removing students' agency in their own learning. Freire argues that currently education functions as a "banking model" - teachers are the holders of knowledge, and students are empty vessels, waiting to have that knowledge put into their heads like a piggy bank. This reinforces a passive attitude towards information, not seeking and understanding it on your own terms, but waiting for a "banker" to deposit it into your head.

Instead, Freire proposes that teachers and students act as co-creators of knowledge, where students become active participants in their own learning through questions and dialogue. Teachers are also open to changing their understanding of topics in the process of critical dialogue - the goal is not "student learns Fact A and memorizes it as presented," but instead the goal is the knowledge itself, discovered collaboratively by teacher and student, who are acting with empathy and respect towards each other. This also starts the process of the oppressed being able and empowered to question structures of power, take agency, and actively participate in the transformation of society.

So, the irony of writing an AI essay on critical pedagogy is actually insane; because it's essentially the extrapolated endpoint of Freire's arguments that our current educational system creates passive receptacles who not only can't think critically in an educational context, but also become the perfect citizens for a world that doesn't want us questioning structures of power, to view those in power as we viewed our teachers - deliverers of indisputable facts that must be memorized and regurgitated because they command it, and not co-creators of true understanding.
