The Feminerdsta

Nerdy. Feminist. Poly. Bisexual. Vegetarian going vegan. Political junky. Nature freak. Pretty much everything conservatives hate.

Somebody posted these all around school, and now I know what it feels like to be proud of ones school.

[vegantality]

Whoever posted these around their school omg yes you rule and are going to do amazing things

I wish I had thought of this when our school said that girls couldn’t wear the skirts they were wearing because male teachers ‘didn’t know where to look.’ HOW ABOUT NOT AT A MINOR’S BUTT IDK?!

minimum wage doesn’t even TOUCH a living wage, racism and sexism are alive and well, children are killed in schools on a regular basis, those who make it to college end up with hundreds of thousands in debt, our basic rights are being stripped from us daily, and adults actually believe that SELFIES are the cause for this generation’s demise

My favorite pony is Fluttershy and I still taste the blood in my mouth from where a boy’s elbow met my cheek. He hit me hard enough that I hit the floor. His shirt had her shy face on it. I kissed the concrete and he kept walking. I am five feet and two inches and I’ve been shoved to the side so many times that if you are going to look for me, always scan the edges of a crowd for a small girl with wide eyes and bruises on her knees. I like Fluttershy because she’s like me, she likes animals more than people and when things get too loud, she shuts down. I like her because I’m scared of most things even though I know I shouldn’t be. I am filled to the brim of moments where My Little Pony started turning into ashes where once had been a harmless little girl’s show. Boys with Rainbow Dash on their hoodies have sexually harassed my underage sister. They have touched my hair and made comments to my brother about whether or not he and I were fucking. They have made me scared for the little girls in my second grade class who are old enough to search for pictures of their favorite show. A boy with a pony bag threatened to rape me because I said I was a feminist. I wasn’t even talking to him at the moment. I have grown to fear the title “brony.” I use to love the idea that a show could teach everyone who watched it friendship and compassion. I loved the idea of an all-inclusive community. My favorite video game is anything I can shoot things in. I have been playing since before the PS was a thing. Yet with more geek cred than my boyfriend, I have been stripped down by worse words than I care to repeat. I have been asked to do anything from make a sandwich to suck a dick to kill myself. The whole nerd culture rails against the idea that I can dress in flower print and still have played both Portal games more times than I can count. I’m not supposed to be a girl and be in their space. This is for boys, get away. This is my petition for every girl who has been spat on for liking comics. This is my petition for every person who loved something hard and watched a group of angry men ruin it. This is for every man who flinches because they’ve taken his fandom from him and made it disgusting. Step on them by giving them the exact shit they’ve been shoving down your throat since you were fifteen and admitted that you liked Bioshock. Ask them if they only like My Little Pony because their girlfriend does. Ask them if they know every word to every episode. Sneer at them when they dress up, ask them to get back behind the grill, catcall them. Let them know you’re done letting them walk all over what you love. Take it back. Take back everything they wrenched from your fingers. Make the spaces they poisoned become unsafe for them. Stop rolling your eyes and letting it happen. Stand up. Destroy them. I am sick of privileged babies making every community cater to them. I am sick of their pickup lines and reddit threads and antifeminism. I’m sick of their memes and fedoras and resistance to women. I am sick of them. Take it back. This is my petition. I’m calling it reappropriation.

[oonachaplinsarchive-deactivated]

"bisexuals appropriate lesbian culture" oh you mean kind of like how most bi icons are claimed to be gay (sappho anybody) or like how terms coined by bisexual people are now said to be things only l&g people are allowed to use or how our individual oppressions are erased when were told the issues we face are *condescending lesbian voice* “actually just lesbophobia” oh you mean a bi girl called herself femme I guess that’s some next level shit

Top 5 misconceptions about evolution: A guide to demystify the foundation of modern biology.

Version 1.0

Here is an infographic to help inform citizens.  From my experience most people who misunderstand evolution are actually misinformed about what science is and how it operates.  That said, here are five of the biggest barriers faced when one explains evolution - I have faced these and they are documented in the literature.

I hope you can build on my work and improve the communication between the scientists and the public.

Want to do more?  If you want to donate to the cause of science education I suggest the National Center for Science Education http://ncse.com, your local university, or an equivalent organization.  Volunteering at schools and inviting scientists into classrooms are two ways to encourage an informed society.  Attend hearings if school boards start questioning evolution’s role in public curriculum.  Raise a storm if anyone tries to ban science.  Plus, it never hurts to reblog a well made evolution post. Thank you followers for all your support! Love,  molecularlifesciences.tumblr.com

I’ve received some messages about women wearing a hijab when they workout and it just hit me that I’ve never seen a photo here on tumblr with a woman wearing that when she works out. I think we need more variety :)xx

Agreed! Great post

Couldn’t agree more, sister! :)

panic/anxiety attack

breath in for 4 seconds

hold your breath for 7 seconds

exhale breath for 8 seconds

repeat once or twice more.

This causes an autonomic nervous system shift from a sympathetic (fight or flight reaction) state to a parasympathetic response.

Use this for panic/anxiety attacks, exams, presentations.

Fill out this list, print it out, and put it up somewhere that you’ll see. When you’re in a crisis, you’ll have all the numbers you need in one place.

[myneurodiversity]

This is a good idea, I think I need to develop some kind of crisis plan for when I feel myself becoming overwhelmed and trying to give up on life.
