[klanced]

i know i joked that someone on the voltron pr team has confused their personal photography account with the voltron twitter account but like. how else do you explain this

[meladoodle]

The first line in this news story is so dramatic

[fartjungle]

I hate the timeline we live in

[smitethestate]

This is REAL

[chronicintrovert]

saw this REALLY good lil thread on twitter today pretty much summing up something i’ve wanted to talk about for a while! one of the best ways to support an author you like is to PRE-ORDER THEIR BOOK! the more a book gets pre-ordered, the more enthusiastic about it the publisher gets (so might get a larger print run and/or give it more publicity), more pre-orders mean more shops will stock it because they think more people will buy it, and whether it lands on the bestseller list in its first week heavily relies on pre-orders. it could also affect things like whether a book gets any foreign publishing deals!

[so pre-order my book heheh: amazon uk / amazon us / waterstones]

these are both still male dominated like……….this is wrong this is not more women than men look its plain and simple wtf

[alchemyjones]

Men, despite dominating STEM fields, demonstrating that they do not even have a basic grasp on math.

[darkfemalley]

Okay as depressing as this is, it’s really hilarious.

[roguesquirrel]

this is taking those “men think women dominate a conversation if they speak approx. 30% of the time” studies to a whole new level

[philosophicalfish]

Also women entering the feild of biology has had a huge impact on how that science is viewed/treated by the scientific community at large. Women are still discourage from entering certain streams (herpetology and entomology for example), and male polititians/policy makers are far more likely to listen to and base decisions off of the findings of male scientists.

this is fantastic now children in Puerto Rico wont be able to receive the education they deserve thanks to their messed up government

[dionysusbisexual]

Its even worse than that. I’m living through it. Not only are schools closing, hospitals are collapsing. Only around 9% of the island has electricity and it comes and goes at times.

People are dying in hospitals because of lack of diesel for the generators, a lot of the water is now infected, there are disease outbreaks and scareceness of food. I am safe, but many are not.

Some have water, others don’t. We need help. Sending money would be helpful but what would help even more would be sending water filters, filtering water bottles, food, medicine, if somehow possible diesel.

All of you reblogging this news helps, but what we need is physical help. If you can’t, then spread the word, but God if you can send supplies… Please… PLEASE do. We are dying. Help us, help us save ourselves. Help us save our people. Help us save out ISLAND.

If you’re not in a position to ship or transport useful items to the island (which is sure as heck the case for me in New Zealand) then the best thing you can do is give money to a reputable relief organisation operating in the area.

Hispanic Federation UNIDOS fundraising page for Puerto Rico.

Choose the fundraiser you want from the dropdown menu in the “Your Information” section (as you can see from the picture they have several).

Save the Children’s Hurricane Maria fundraising page.

Reblogging

[mikkeneko]

You know, every time Puerto Rico comes up I’m reminded of a comment my dad made in a discussion about it, in response to someone claiming that the PR situation is terrible but oh well, what can we do? They’re SO far away after all and the logistic problems are SO hard.

He said, “When the Soviets blockaded the city of Berlin in 1948, America flew in to West Berlin enough supplies to keep the city going by airdrop for over a year. Puerto Rico today isn’t much bigger than Berlin was then, and America has grown immensely in wealth and power since that day. The problem isn’t lack of resources, it’s lack of will.”

Nothing about what’s happening to Puerto Rico (and still happening) is inevitable in any way. This is deliberate. Don’t forget it.

history fucked me up

oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built

[kayforpay]

I need a noncomprehensive history book that covers Known World History in time periods, like “in this century, all this shit was happening concurrently” and not just all spread out so I have to piece it together like some unpaid uneducated scholar

[unclebeanbag]

Mongols were fighting Samurai in Japan and Knights in Europe at the same time. 

Star Wars a New Hope came out the same year as the last execution in France by Guillotine. 

Abraham Lincoln and Edgar Allen Poe were friends in their early 20′s. 

When the Great Pyramids were being built there were areas that still had Woolly Mammoths roaming.

[mediamattersforamerica]

After decades of vilifying LGBTQ people and trying to strip them of their rights, suddenly conservatives don’t care about what “consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes.”

LOL OK.
