Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:

Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

athenadark

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

thepsychicclam

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

If you’re Non-binary, please remember that like 90% of Legendary Pokemon are genderless

Also it doesn’t matter what you present as/look like.

Super masc? Doesn’t matter, still whatever.

Kinda fem and masc? Sure!

SUPER fem? Stillll genderless.

Demiboy? Demigirl? Transgender? Fabulous!

Really just neutral? You’re epic!

Gender changes from day to day? Well, sorry to say it, but you sound kinda like a god to me!

…. or, maybe, maybe, you just wanna eat disrespectful bigots who trespass on your territory?

you can do that too.

Basically, just - if you’re not cis, don’t be scared. You might not be ‘the norm’, but that just means that you’re legendary.

Me: Kids and babies can’t really help how they act and it’ll take a while longer before they know how to communicate properly. You shouldn’t be hateful to or be rude to them for that.

People who’s entire personality revolves around them hating kids:

in five minutes of thinking i was legitimately scared at how easy it would be for me to write a sunstone style romance involving harley and ivy, all while acknowledging and using every bit of their long established lore and characterization.

too… damned ..easy!

one of the ways i know this culture has a massive issue with consent

is the sheer amount of people I’ve known that just lie & tell people they’re deathly allergic to foods they dislike

because otherwise people will hound them, mock them, coax them, harass them, try to force them to eat it, or even trick them into eating it, and they will never hear the end of it

your coworkers will bake it into a fucking pie, call it something else, and wait til your birthday, gather everyone and their first cousins to sit around in a circle waiting for you to put a forkful into your mouth and then point rhythmically at you in a chanting, glaring, sweating, unholy circle like SWISS CHARD SWISS CHARD YOU JUST ATE SWISS CHARD HA HA HA SWISS CHARD NOW YOU LIKE SWISS CHARD

Because forcing someone into a situation where they don’t feel safe declining putting something into their body they’d rather not be there is totes 100% wholesome American fun

And this is something so known that it’s infinitely easier to just lie and tell people that you’ll die if you eat that food…which actually doesn’t always stop it from happening

This has happened to me. I’ve got an allergy to fresh tomatoes. Only fresh tomatoes, I can eat canned ones, salsas or sauces with no issue.

Well a former employer didn’t believe that I was allergic, he thought I was just saying it to avoid having to taste some of the dishes I was preparing. So in his infinite wisdom, he hid a piece of tomato in a mouthful of stew he wanted me to taste. Only a small piece mind you, enough that I didn’t realise what it was until it was too late.

The smirk on his face when I ate it, I knew he’d done something truly cruel. He just shrugged and said I couldn’t be allergic since I’d just eaten it. Cue me hunched over the nearest sink, trying to bring it up before it was too late. Didn’t work, I collapsed and one of the other staff members had to call and ambulance since the boss thought I was faking.

A week off work all because of a small piece of tomato and an asshole boss.

Seriously people, if someone mentions and allergy, just don’t fuck with it.

someone show this apology to rupaul

scorched-scales-deactivated2018

Just wanted to point out. That’s how an appology should be done. An acknowledgment that you hurt someone, what you’re going to do better next time. An explanation of your reasoning of your actions without attempting to make an excuse.
