what’s wrong with les mis
victor hugo failed in his duty to visit a psychic before writing it who would have warned him that 150 years in the future his decision to include nine shippable twinks as minor characters in his magnum opus would lead to the development of one of the most insufferable fandoms of the twenty first century
Forgotten By History
Female firefighters at Pearl Harbor (1941).
Donna Tobias - the first woman to graduate from the US Navy’s Deep Sea Diving School in 1975.
Brave women of the Red Cross hitting the beach at Normandy.
Dottie Kamenshek was called the best player in women’s baseball and was once recruited to play for a men’s professional team.
Kate Warne - Private Detective. Born in New York City, almost nothing is known of her prior to 1856 when, as a young widow, she answered an employment advertisement placed by Alan Pinkerton. She was one of four new agents the Pinkerton Detective Agency hired that year and proved to be a natural, taking to undercover work easily. She had taken part in embezzlement and railroad security cases when in 1861 the Pinkertons developed the first lead about an anti-Lincoln conspiracy.
Catherine Leroy, female photographer in Vietnam.
The three women pictured in this incredible photograph from 1885 – Anandibai Joshi of India, Keiko Okami of Japan, and Sabat Islambouli of Syria – each became the first licensed female doctors in their respective countries. The three were students at the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania; one of the only places in the world at the time where women could study medicine.
Female Samurai Warrior - Onno-Bugeisha - Female warrior belonging to the Japanese upper class. Many women engaged in battle, commonly alongside samurai men. They were members of the bushi (samurai) class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honour in times of war.
One of the most feared of all London street gangs from the late 1880’s was a group of female toughs known as the Clockwork Oranges. They woulde later inspire Anthony burgess’ most notorious novel. Their main Rivals were the All-female “the Forty Elephants” gang.
Maureen Dunlop de Popp, Pioneering female pilot who flew Spitfires during Second World War. She joined the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in 1942 and became one of a small group of female pilots who were trained to fly 38 types of aircraft.
In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon. The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.
Women have always participated in fighting; whether that is in war or in breaking down barriers that have been set in front of us by society.
Take inspiration from our foremothers and continue breaking down barriers, wherever you are.
-FemaleWarrior, She/They
nothing to do with my blog but how could I not reblog this???
Hey, quick point - your image for Onna Bugeisha is actually a kabuki actress. I know, because I’ve used the image for presentations on the subject. In her stead may I introduce Niijima Yae, aka Yamamoto Yaeko.
Born in 1845.
In 1868, fought at the Battle of Aizu. Her father was the gunnery instructor, and she was trained on a Spencer carbine, which she used to defend the castle.
1871, divorced her husband and went to Kyoto to find her brother, who had been taken as a POW.
1871-1898, remarried a western-educated man, co-founded two schools (including a girls’ school), became a certified Tea Master and flower arranging instructor.
1890, following the death of her husband, became a Red Cross nurse. Served in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-5) leading a team of 40 nurses, and the Russo-Japanese War (1904). Decorated for her service in both.
I’m proud of people adding their own knowledge to this.
“but adding women to [insert title] isn’t accurate!” women existed back then too, baby. history was just written by men, for men

I was really hoping these weren’t staged and the artist just spends weeks in art galleries and days in front of paintings to make these
Well guess what… That’s exactly what he did!

these comments...
all these people who are like ACAB AND PUNCH NAZIS are gonna see Biden lift the "trans ban" on the military and are gonna cheer his praises not comprehending their irony and idiocy
here we go
It’s not the fact that it’s the military(which sucks for many reasons), but the fact that a ban on transgender people was lifted. It isn’t a great thing, but it’s a step in the right direction to grow acceptance of trans people.
sending trans people to go die and/or murder overseas is not acceptance
“The challenge of the twenty-first century is not to demand equal opportunity to participate in the machinery of oppression. Rather, it is to identify and dismantle those structures in which racism continues to be embedded. This is the only way the promise of freedom can be extended to masses of people.
[..] Those who present the gender and racial composition of the U.S. military as a dramatic example of equality offered by democracy have clearly lost sight of whatever promise democracy might hold for the future. Gender equality in the military is represented was the equal opportunity to participate in every aspect of military life, including equal opportunity to participate in violence previously assumed to be the purview of men. This approach to equality leaves no space to challenge the status quo. [..] [This] equality is measured in terms of acess to repressive institutions that remain unchanged or even become strengthened by the admission of those who were previously barred [..].”
–Angela Davis, "Abolition Democracy: Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture" (2005)
You ever hear something so stupid that it physically makes your brain hurt? Lady at the store is telling people that depression is a medical condition that exempts her from wearing a mask
Other galaxy brain arguments I’ve heard:
1. “Cloth masks collect bacteria”: Yeah bitch, so do your underwear, but ideally you swap them out for a fresh pair every so often, and,, you know,,, wash them
2. “Children won’t be able to recognize their parents”: Ma'am if you bring your child to the store and they are, for whatever legitimate reason, incapable of recognizing their own caretaker when you, say,,, put a scarf on a little too high?? MAYbE don’t be leaving them out of your sight for extended periods in public areas?!? MaYbE Consider keeping a scope on that???
3. “Mandatory mask policies violate human rights” a) no they do not b) section 7 of the human charter of rights and freedoms allows for freedoms to be amended or recinded if judged necessary in accordance to the principals of fundamental justice, and so as a public safety concern, even if it did, no it wouldn’t c) Nobody is forcing you at gunpoint to go to Macy’s for yoga pants at 2pm on a Tuesday. You are a guest. Order online or suck it up like everyone else d) all of the above
heard a new one at work yesterday) “it’s illegal in this state for me to cover my face while I’m carrying a concealed weapon” sir this is a furniture store not the shores of Dunkirk leave your gun in the car if you’re that worried or GO HOME
This is the bare minimum of decent human behavior for ANY gender. If you are an adult and someone who is not an adult wants to have a relationship with you, it is your duty to, at bare minimum, turn them away.
and like... having crushes on adults is a Normal Adolescent Thing, but it doesn’t mean they’re ready for--or for that matter, want--an actual relationship with said adult. it’s a goddamn developmental phase for kids working out their sexuality, and treating it as a chance to get laid is fucking monstrous.
Recommended tactics to deal with a child hitting on you:
“kiddo”
“buddy”
inform a friend to ensure you’re never left alone with them
refer to own age in conversation
“yeah, I know I look young, but you wouldn’t BELIEVE how awkward it is being mistakenly hit on by a teenager!”
upon that child turning 18:
“Happy birthday, kiddo!”
“Have you registered to vote yet?”
“Man, being a baby adult was so hard, good luck with that”
And as a reminder, teenagers often have crushes on older and/or unavailable people like celebrities precisely because psychologically/emotionally they’re not ready to have a relationship. On a subconscious level, fantasizing about someone you know you can’t be with allows you to experiment with your emotions in a safe way. And obviously an adult taking advantage of that will disrupt the entire thing.

this has aged well
an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.
found it - she was replying to this thread that starts “unpopular opinion: i don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; i think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die” and i for one think that’s fucking brilliant
If you save happiness for only the big important moments, you won’t have a very happy life, but if you allow happiness to happen from even the smallest things, your life will be full of happiness
jane austen really just repeatedly said “the sexiest thing a man can be is kind, selfless, attentive and honest about his feelings” and, as always, she was correct every single time
lets make a new trope: gay characters who are actually seemingly impossible to kill to the point that all of their enemies are comically frustrated. functionally immortal gay characters. being gay making you immortal. unkillable gay trope.

Sword appreciation 🗡️
chris pine is the best chris this is non-negotiable
could crisp ratt ever do this? i don’t think so
I was awake at 12 and looking for a new show to watch and saw on Amazon a show called the wilds premiered literally that minute so was like cool yeah why not and I have now watched 9 continuous hours of television and finished the series it was super good and BOY do I need a season 2. I have so many thoughts it hurts.
whoever made this deserves an award
This is so funny
“why bother writing bisexual characters if they just end up in a m/f relationship”
my dude
my guy
my pal
stop talking forever
Oh I have never reblogged faster in my life
Watching my bi friends’ identities get erased when they‘re in m/f relationships makes me think it’s even MORE important to write bi characters in m/f relationships and then be REALLY BLATANT about the fact that one or both of them is bi.
I had a bi friend who was dating a girl and when he said anything about being bi she would laugh and say “that doesn’t matter cuz you’re with me”. Never been so happy to hear a friend broke up with a partner
As a bi woman who’s in a m/f relationship, who’s favorite oc is a bi man in a m/f relationship. This is very important to me!
husband kissed me this morning and murmured “mlm/wlw solidarity[1]” which is frankly the entire point of bi folks of different genders ending up together
[1] pronounced mlem and wooloowoo
oh my god the Owl and the Pussycat were bi
