How is this so fucking relevant?

Once a boy looked very sadly at me after a little bit of conversation. ‘you’re so smart’ he said, ‘I feel like I couldn’t keep up’. And then he did that sad boy face where you’re supposed to agree to tone yourself down. So I said ‘probably’ and fucked his mate.

some top advice from a slut, here, 90% of the time when some boy looks sad and tells you you’re too ‘x’ to keep up with it’s a ploy to get you to cut bits off yourself so you can come down to his mediocre level; instead, agree with him and fuck his mate

Just a reminder that the first NASA astronauts were supposed to be women because generally they are smaller, lighter (less weight in the cockpit means less fuel required) and eat less than men and so would be easier to accommodate in space.

Both men and women trained (and many of the female finalists had higher scores than the men), but they were completely excluded from the final selection because of their gender.

13 women underwent final training, all were accomplished pilots with at least 1000 hours flying experience, all passed the necessary tests, all could have been astronauts if only they were afforded the opportunity.

They are collectively known as the Mercury 13, there’s a great blog entry about them here and a brilliant PBS documentary too.

Their names are Myrtle Cagle, Jerrie Cobb, Janet Dietrich, Marion Dietrich, Wally Funk, Sarah Gorelick, Jane “Janey” Hart, Jean Hixson, Rhea Hurrle, Gene Nora Stumbough, Irene Leverton, Jerri Sloan and Bernice Steadman. They should be remembered and celebrated for their role in the history of space exploration.

It wasn’t until 2 decades later that Sally Ride became the first woman in space in 1983.

7 of the surviving members of the Mercury 13 are pictured below, 33 years later in 1995.

“Right Stuff, Wrong Sex: America’s First Women in Space Program” by Margaret A. Weitekamp is a really great book about the Mercury 13 if anyone wants to read about them too.

This is *scarily* like a scene out of a psychological thriller film:

I’m getting very strong “Julia Roberts in Sleeping with the Enemy” vibes here.

That’s exactly what I thought!

I’ll admit: At first I thought this was simply funny.

“Trump’s wife hates him too! Like the rest of us! LOL~!”

But the more times you watch it, you realize how disturbing it actually is.

She honestly does look afraid.

I know that face. I’ve made that face.

The more you look at it the worse it gets

Republicans are right: Jesus was *all* about turning polluted water into tax cuts for the rich, giving guns to crazy people, hating the poor and turning down Syrian refugee children.

Let’s listen to them.Not The Bible or anything. Just Fox News and Alex Jones.

Funny thing is: I barely paid attention in Sunday School. I was bored, mostly.

But I don’t like what they’ve turned Jesus into. I’m oddly protective of him, in that respect.

It’s what Jesus would have wanted, obviously.

This is so heartless. They don’t see refugees as real people and they’re not even ashamed of it. They don’t care how little they value Muslims and POC as a whole, and the saddest part is that if the situation was reversed, these white Americans would not be treated by them in such a demonizing way.

They’re seriously saying they will take money from organizations helping the needy in their local community for helping the needy from foreign communities
