Dear Cis People:

Transgender women are women. When you have an event for “all the girls” and decide that I’ll make you uncomfortable, it makes me want to just stop existing. I’m getting closer every day and I’d appreciate just a little help staying alive.

Teen’s invention could charge your phone in 20 seconds

(Photo: Intel)

Waiting hours for a cellphone to charge may become a thing of the past, thanks to an 18-year-old high-school student’s invention. She won a $50,000 prize Friday at an international science fair for creating an energy storage device that can be fully juiced in 20 to 30 seconds.

Read the complete story.

Everybody, remember this face.
Remember this name.
If this becomes a commonly used & highly lauded discovery, at some point a White guy is going to take credit, even if he has to word it like “Improved upon a previous…”
No no no
Fuck that guy.
Remember this brown girl.

thesylverlining:

Can I just say how cool it was that both of these superheroines’ personalities and powers were explored in this episode? And how well it was done?

Starfire was not shamed for being emotional. Her powers come from her emotions.

Raven was not shamed for suppressing her emotions. Her power requires amazing control.

They both. Work. They are both different kinds of strength, and they are both heroic and powerful and good. And they each learned from the other, and helped each other out by seeing from each others’ perspective, and finding the value in their differing approaches! Wow!

Fuck yes, this is how you write super-ladies, okay. There’s more than one way to be a “strong female character.” There’s all different kinds of strength. Why don’t more people GET this?

There was a lot right with this show.

I hope this makes some of you in a better mood. Because I’m feeling quite over the day. But this helps a bit.

I was having such a bad day, this made it a little better. Ducklings are so cute

"Come to think of it, all gun rights supporters are self-centered assholes, because they believe their right to own an object supersedes the right of 30,000 people a year not to die from gun violence." - Yeah, no. I'm sorry but no.

This is classism.

I’m sure, where you live, guns are ineffective because the police will come quickly and the population is dense so a round has a high likelihood of finding an unintended victim when it’s fired. In poorer, rural areas, this isn’t true. The police can take up to 45 minutes to arrive.

Defending your family suddenly is placed squarely on your shoulders. Saying “no-one should own guns, no gun rights for anyone” is saying “I don’t care if you need a gun to protect yourself, my safety is more important than yours or your families.” So no, they are not being “self-centered assholes,” they are trying to protect their families.

This is your privilege showing. Please examine it.
