bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.
i love not talking #theobserver
As a woman in STEM, it really bugs me how people (especially guys) will refuse to believe you if you say that you’re not brilliant in your field/subjects. We have this norm fashioned in popular media that says when a woman pops up where she doesn’t traditionally “belong,” it’s because she had to strong-arm her way in by being better than everyone else. But that’s not typically the case. Not in the contexts where it’s being assumed.
I’m an average physics student. That’s reflected in my grades and in the depth of my understanding of the material. I’ve bombed easy tests because I didn’t study enough. I usually score exactly the median average on exams. I’m not brilliant. Really. But everyone I talk to insists that I must be. After all, I’m a woman in a man’s field, right? The only way I could secure a place among the men is by proving myself their superior.
This warped norm is responsible for dissuading a lot of women and girls from pursuing STEM. They think they aren’t smart enough for it, purely because they’re not smarter than their male classmates.
LOVE magdalena bay. like genuine affection. listened to mercurial world for the first time today and it’s so excellent, so far beyond what most pop artists are putting out these days. it’s so refreshing to see an artist with a sort of antitheatrical speaking persona, who prioritizes the album over the individual track, and is asking engaging original artistic question with pop music- to know that it’s still possible in the digital age, especially as commentary ON the digital age, is just such a relief. genuinely makes me believe that pop art/“art-pop” is not dead
