We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had // Don Draper.
did you know that cigarettes are actually a vegetable because tobacco is a plant? kind of like how tomatoes are a fruit because of the seeds thing. anyway i’m very health-conscious

ARE YOU CANADIAN? ARE YOU IN THE COUNTRY? DO YOU BREATHE AIR?
Then please Please PLEASE get out and vote!
Despite what the above comical political commentary à la meme may lead you to believe, I don’t actually care who you vote for [well, I mean I do care, but it’s really none of my beeswax], what matters is you exercise your right to that hot lil’ franchise!
A little Art History Grad school side-eye from the Garbage Collective...
Looking at you Jeff.

Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.
Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)
OH WAIT LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE.
Cecilia Payne’s mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge.
Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said fuck that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard.
Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called “the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy.”
Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun’s composition is different from the Earth’s, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne—after telling her not to publish).
Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work.
Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard, and is often credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women in the Harvard science department and in astronomy, as well as inspiring entire generations of women to take up science.
Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.

What an inspiration
Your turn at bat, sir
What’s that I hear you say? You’re craving to discover a brand, spankin’ new song-writer with a voice like smokey gold, and poetic skillz like a hot, hat-wearing Bob Dylan? (Yes, I know, Bob was both hot and hat wearing, but play along here). Of course you are. You’re following this blog because that shit is your LIFEBLOOD.
Yeah, exactly. I know.
WELL HAVE I GOT A BACK TO SCHOOL TREAT FOR YOU.
This is Maha. Maha has class. Maha has soul. Maha has a better voice than you and probably most of the people you know. Maha is in a contest that she damn well should win, and I’m reaching out through the screen (can’t you see my hands creepily pushing through the glass?) to implore you to go give her a listen. If you like what you hear, give her a vote. And I’m pretty confident you’ll want to do just that once you’ve heard Queen Street Waltz.
& of course, if you want more Maha (I know I do), go take a boo at her soundcloud. Truly, she is wonderful, and best enjoyed with a cool breeze and a couple fingers of whiskey.

And hey, you know, if you’re feeling especially nifty and have 10 seconds to spare (which, let’s be honest, y’all probably do), please give this post a reblog to spread the word! I will personally send you a supersecretspecialsucculent surprise...
