i must say, i am a huge fan of when a book is in the middle of a very exciting plot containing many interesting problems when out of nowhere for a few pages it's like, "hey by the way, real quick, here's a detailed explanation of the city's water filtration system! i'm telling you this for a reason and you should worry about it. anyway! haha okay back to the plot" and you just get to be Scared for a while

“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”

PBS: Language as Prejudice - Myth #6: Women Talk Too Much (via misandry-mermaid)

Every EVERY women’s studies class I’ve been in has had this problem and failed to address it.

the skyrim anniversary edition quest where you run your own farm is truly the best quest in the entire game. i just imagine some guy from rorikstead finding out the guy who grows potatoes down the hill is the fucking dragonborn

Slavery…

theconcealedweapon

"Slavery was so long ago. Get over it."

Slavery is literally happening now. Police never stopped being slave catchers. People are supporting it now just like they supported it then.

If you support ICE, you would have supported slavery, because ICE is slavery.

the highest recorded wet bulb temperatures in the world occur in india, jsyk. in odisha, they’ve hit 34.6 degrees celsius. the human survivability limit is 35 degrees celsius but the body faces significant risks, potentially fatal risks, even at 30 degrees as it starts failing to cool itself, like i’m talking organ failure levels of risk. climate change isn’t coming to peak, it’s been in the global south where you can’t see it or feel it.

probuccalfat

imagine temperatures that high and humidity as high as 75%—you make more heat than you can ever cool. your sweat cannot evaporate fast enough. you literally boil alive. heat deaths in india are underreported and they already hit the thousands. there is no plan, for a nation of almost 2 billion people. no plan. nothing.

Modi denied climate change for years. Now, as heat deaths mount, his government offers branding instead of protection.

Of all the tags on this post this is the one that worries me most

When you're a kid you just take trees for granted. Then when you get to be an adult you realize that a fully mature tree cannot be created in an amount of time that fits in a convenient landscaping timeframe for love nor money nor all the powers of science. Then you realize that people are very very very cavalier about chopping them down

thinking about today. Batman having to take an injured teammate who doesn’t know his secret identity to the Batcave and they just assume it is his House. like oh yeah Batman lives in a big, spooky underground cave, full of literal bats? yeah that checks out.

penny-anna

looking at the cot where Bruce crashes when he’s working through the night like ‘ah that must be where he sleeps… that is his sad little bedroom :(’

penny-anna

#excellent concept op #all hes got is a cot and like #a sad little mini fridge

‘aw there’s no clothes in this closet except more batsuits. guess that must be all he ever wears. :(’

hamenthotep

You mean the Batcot and the Bat-minifridge

Everything is covered in Bat Symbols. Everyone who visits assumes he can’t afford a better Bat Bed or Bat House because he spends all his Bat Money on Bat Symbols

penny-anna

#its a real Bat problem #but how do you suggest to Batman that he get Bat Help for his Bat addiction?

yeah they think it’s a dril candles tweet situation. he’s terrible at budgeting just spends all his money on custom made bat-branded equipment.

They look in the mini-fridge and it’s just two (2) plain unseasoned chicken breasts, half a thing of Sunny D (via one of the robins), an unopened bottle of ketchup, and a mostly-eaten bag of shredded cheese.

penny-anna

‘they’re like huh does Batman just sit at his batcomputer eating handfuls of shredded cheese out the bag’, and they’re right, he does.

I just love the idea of Dracula thinking he’s outsmarted everyone by impersonating Jonathan. As if the locals are going to be fooled by the creepy-looking ghoul with the giant Fu Manchu mustache, wearing clothes clearly not made for him, who just crawled out a window and slithered down the side of a ravine, assuring everyone he is the recently kidnapped lawyer who is doing just peachy, thank you. Like this is WORSE than three kids on each other’s shoulders in a trench coat. If anything it’s like the Wayside School bunch of dead rats in a trench coat
