Let’s spread the word

@vox takes on the trope of the hypercompetent female sidekick. You know her – the one who’s the smartest, toughest and most capable yet ends up being rescued by the less talented, but extremely straight, white, cisgender and male hero. 

This intersects well with discussions about the pay gap and obstacles women face in their careers. For those of us who aren’t straight white cisgender men – the persistence of being typecast as not-the-hero (or the boss, or the leader, or the expert commenter) despite qualifications, talents and capabilities is a lived reality. 

Goodies from the wasteland!

me: I'M GONNA DO A THING

Henry the dog and Baloo the cat are lifelong adventure buddies. Cynthia Bennett and her boyfriend started hiking with Henry when they adopted him as a puppy in 2014, and after adopting Baloo as a kitten a few months later, he joined in, too. Baloo is now so obsessed with traveling that he screams at the door as soon as Cynthia touches Henry’s leash. Source Source 2

Tumblr Rules

I notice on tumblr there is always a long ass debate going on about something that quite frankly, is terrifying that it’s even considered debatable. I’m gonna assume the demographics is between 17-30 here, and assume (hopefully) most of us aren’t having kids without being emotionally and financially ready. That said…listen. Maybe this next generation will be less bitter if we pass on and/or eliminate some things. –Don’t rape. Don’t catcall. Stop calling women hoes and thots and bitches. Girls, you too. It’s old. Teach your kiddos to respect all bodies. No body is ugly. Only a personality can be ugly. Fact. –Don’t be racist. White people, I’m talking to you. –Don’t assume “all ______ people do ______.” (This goes for all races however.) –Don’t assume if X, then Y. If one likes Sharpova it doesn’t mean they’re racist against Serena. (I’m team Serena though) –Stop shitting on new ideas because they scare you. Change is good. Change is needed. Especially now. –Don’t assume if it’s on tumblr with 100,000 notes it’s true. It’s very possible 100,000 ill informed/stupid people reposted something. –Tumblr is just tumblr. Reposting something doesn’t make you a revolutionary–so stay the fuck in school. Complain about it ON tumblr, but don’t think you’re Rosa Parks because you reblogged a picture with a deep caption you didn’t write. –If you wanna “shut it down” for ANY cause, write emails, get your ass in the streets, harass your city representatives…reblogging with a hashtag is rarely gonna fix anything. –Be nice. –Stop buying Iggy Azelia records. She’ll go away. –Rihanna is not the queen. Aretha Franklin is. –Stop talking about Trump and he’ll disappear. I promise. Just like Iggy. –The Kardashians are only famous because you want and allow them to be. –Kanye is not the greatest of all time. Jimi is. –You can say “all lives matter” AFTER we solve the white supremacy problem and aliens declare war on us as a human race. Until then, no. No. No.

In 1863, Jules Verne wrote “Paris in the 20th Century,” a manuscript that predicted glass skyscrapers, submarines, the technology to land on the moon, feminism, and a statistical rise in illegitimate births. His publisher rejected the story because it was unbelievable, so Verne put it in a safe - where it was forgotten until his great-grandson rediscovered in in 1989.

It was one of the first science-fiction novels written by Jules Verne, but because it was lost in a safe for over 125 years, it was the last to be published.
