Since I’m not seeing her name nearly enough on the press, let’s give the attention Dr Katie Bouman deserves. Thanks to her, we are now possible to see the first ever image of a black hole, something that people talked 200 years ago for the first time. It’s no longer a myth. We are girls and we can be whatever we want to be. Einstein would be proud of you, Katie. Thank you!

Here you can see a huge stack of hard drives she used for Messier 87’s black hole image data.

Women should NOT be forced to feed their babies in a bathroom, all because we live in a misogynistic, porn-warped society that’s been brainwashed to believe that female breasts used for anything other than male pleasure is “indecent”. Support public breast feeding and end the porn culture.

[littlezombiekid-blog]

Forever reblog

[the-anti-fandom]

No. I’m eating. I don’t wanna see you hang out your goddamn tits while I have food. My kids don’t wanna see it. It’s not some misogynistic ideal, it’s fucking public indecency. Can I take my cock out under the table and feed my wife/girlfriend? No? Fuck you

[elliegalaxies]

i genuinely cannot believe that you just compared a blowjob to breastfeeding oh my fucking god 

getting a blowjob is a sexual thing and it also does not ‘feed’ anyone whereas breastfeeding is literally not even a sexual thing a baby is having food that they need to live like it’s nowhere near on the same level as getting a blowjob omg

if you are uncomfortable seeing a woman breastfeeding then that is your problem because you have oversexualised breasts so much that you can’t even stand seeing them being used for their actual purpose and also you’re an idiot

go eat your dinner in a public bathroom, you trash bag

[patrickat]

End skeevy dudes who compare whipping out their dick in public to breast feeding 2k15

DO YOU FEED YOUR CHILDREN SEMEN? SHOVE A TRASH CAN UP YOUR ASS

[babiesandbones]

Pediatric anthropology student, here.

1.) Breasts as sexual fetishes is a (largely Western) cultural construction. Yes, it’s a fetish – anything you are sexually attracted to that is not the genitals of an adult is a fetish, or paraphilia. My professors have met non-Westerners who think our men are “like babies” because they are attracted to breasts.

Breasts ≠ genitals. Scientifically, they are considered secondary sexual characteristics – same category as facial hair. They can be sexual in a sexual context, just as necks and feet can be. But their primary purpose is reproductive.

2.) Breastmilk is not a “bodily fluid.” It is FOOD.

It is not categorized by the CDC as a biohazard, and so no you don’t need to freak out if your coworker wants to store her milk right next to your Lunchables.

MOREOVER,

Breastmilk is not just protein and vitamins. It is a living, dynamic substance that BUILDS HUMANS.

It has hundreds of ingredients (<— actually that list needs to be updated because they’ve discovered more already). There is a lab at the University of Washington St. Louis, where they have written all of the ingredients of human milk on the wall – They have run out of room on that wall. Among those ingredients:

The exact ratio of protein-sugars-fats that human infants need (cow’s milk doesn’t even come close)

Antibodies to pathogens in the baby’s environment (synthesized by the mother within hours of coming into contact with a given pathogen) and other immune factors

Stem cells. FUCKING STEM CELLS. (They used glow-in-the-dark mice to find out what they do!)

Hormones (support growth and regulate behavior)

peptides

Self-digesting fats (what the whaaat)

Growth factors

water, vitamins, minerals, carbs, etc.

prolly other awesome shit we don’t even know about yet because we’ve barely scratched the surface of this research!

These ingredients change hour-to-hour according to the baby’s needs. It will even add more water on hot/dry days. Fuck, breastmilk kills cancer in a petri dish. Breastmilk. is. not. a. bodily. fluid. It. is. liquid. gold. 3.) When you tell a woman to go to the bathroom to breastfeed, you are perpetuating the notion that it is dirty and shameful and needs to be hidden away. This idea is the biggest barrier to achieving breastfeeding goals in the United States. Because women feel ashamed, they often stay isolated at home when they should be spending time out and about with friends and family and having, like, a life. This isolation can contribute to postpartum depression. From the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding: Women may find themselves excluded from social interactions when they are breastfeeding because others are reluctant to be in the same room while they breastfeed. For many women, the feeling of embarrassment restricts their activities and is cited as a reason for choosing to feed supplementary formula or to give up breastfeeding altogether. And since we have this culture of shame and privacy surrounding breastfeeding, young girls and women don’t see it enough to learn what is normal/not and how to do it, so they often give up when they run into problems because they don’t realize there’s an easy fix. Moreover, an infant needs to be integrated into society in order to develop properly. He/she needs to see faces and hear voices. Isolating them – or throwing a blanket over their head – takes this important component of their development away. It also often annoys them because they are understimulated. 4.) YOU NEED TO SEE IT. That’s right, YOU. Even if you are a dude. Maybe you aren’t a parent, but you probably have loved ones who are. Or you might become one yourself someday. And if you are American chances are you have no idea how breastfeeding actually works, because you never fucking see it. It’s messy and complicated, and hard. It used to be a part of everyday life, because there weren’t any alternatives – So we learned how to do it by being around it all the time, NBD. The whole sexualization/modesty thing surrounding breasts wasn’t a thing until like the mid-20th century. Check out this 1871 drawing of a woman breastfeeding IN FUCKING CHURCH:

She’s covered head to toe, in accordance with modesty standards of the time – except for her breast, about which the people around her give zero fucks. More from the Surgeon General: In American culture, breasts have often been regarded primarily as sexual objects, while their nurturing function has been downplayed. Although focusing on the sexuality of female breasts is common in the mass media, visual images of breastfeeding are rare, and a mother may never have seen a woman breastfeeding. Mothers need to see it. Future mothers need to see it. Future fathers need to see it. Family members need to see it. Everybody needs to see it. SO THEY FUCKING GET USED TO IT. So, no, I’m not gonna go to the bathroom to feed my kid. If you don’t want to see it, then DON’T. FUCKING. LOOK.

MULTIPLAYER III: WAVE | Materia Collective & Multiplayer Charity

MULTIPLAYER III: WAVE, an album by Materia Collective & Multiplayer Charity. Multiplayer Charity presents “Multiplayer III: WAVE”, set for release in August 2016. MP3 is a large-scale charity album themed around water, with a goal to raise money for Water.Org to deliver clean drinking water to less fortunate people, improve women’s hygiene, and create healthy plumbing and infrastructures. Combining the work of over 50 musicians worldwide and cultivated from friendships across the internet, MP3 is a collaborative video game music album that spans the past twenty years of gaming. Like its predecessors, all profits generated from album sales go directly to the annually chosen charity organization. This year, we are proud to be raising money for Water.Org, an international nonprofit organization whose goal is to bring water and sanitation to the world. So, in keeping with the light of the mission, we chose to give MP3 a new theme: water-based VGM tracks! What you'll be listening to in these 33 unique tracks are not individually-made songs, but a fluid collection of different styles and experiences rendered into a cohesive 2 hours of entertainment. So "water" you waiting for? Please enjoy, support the love of video games & music, and help with the cause of delivering clean water worldwide! Thanks for listening! _____ In addition to the arrangers for each song, special thanks is given to the album artists: SOPHEARUM SENG for logo design and IAN MURRAY for album artwork. Huge thanks to the entire Multiplayer Team, the Materia Collective, Loudr, Water.Org, supporters and fans of the musicians involved, and the thousands that created our absolute favorite video games.

I am so pleased to share this news with you guys. Remember that Assassin's Creed: Rogue orchestral cover I did a while ago? Well, it is track 19 on Multiplayer's WAVE album, which finally was released! You can find the digital album by following the above link to loudr.fm!

WAVE is a charity album with the purpose of raising money for clean water and women's hygiene with water.org. 

It’s been an absolute honor and privilege to be a part of this project. Please check it out, we had a lot of talented musicians work really hard to contribute to this super cool album, and all the tracks came out sounding great!

Welcome to our new version of “Hope for the World”, we have collaborated with great talents from across the world.

Oliver’s motivation to compose this song:

With this song I wanted to give everybody peace and hope in and for this world! Currently so many terrible things are happening, like war, natural disasters, etc ....We all live in fear, and have more doubts and worries how to proceed in this world.But we have to stick together, and must not loose hope for a better times and a better world.

We’ve tried to express with this music the wish to give you a symbol of peace!!! We all hope you’ll enjoy this song, and that it may bring peace into your heart.

Sequence 19 is uploaded! In this chapter, the girls discuss the body that Morrighan discovered during her daily searches, and by nightfall, have at long last arrived at Helix, their ruined homestead.

Project: Yggdrasil (on Wattpad) http://w.tt/22qJBYc 

The year is 2174. In a world sapped of resources and ravaged by disasters both natural and man-made alike, Helix Labs is a beacon of scientific and technological advancement with just one mission in mind - using their skills and knowledge to make life better for as many people as they can. Unfortunately, a shady organization begins to emerge, clearly stating that they quite disrespectfully disagree. 

As a genetically engineered soldier born and raised in the Helix: Genomics Labs, Morrighan has a relatively unique skill. But it's not enough to prevent a sudden catastrophic attack on her home. After escaping the massacre, her world in shambles, she designates one purpose for herself - find out and expose who killed her family and friends. As she begins to dig deeper, she realizes that the attack on her home was a linchpin in a larger conspiracy. The discovery leaves her with a choice - save herself or the rest of humanity.
