Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.
“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.
Oh, to be this white and so unaware of labor exploitation in America for the past 400 years.
Kamala Harris' career is a perfect guide for how to infiltrate a corrupt system and slowly change it from within.
She played the long game and made strategic compromises. She followed the rules, even the ones she didn't agree with, knowing that doing so would enable her to rise in the ranks and secure a position of power. And then whenever she managed to achieve a greater position power, she used her new power to change the rules for the better.
And I think it bothers certain leftists that Kamala Harris exists, because she challenges the story they've been telling themselves and everyone who will listen to them, that it is impossible to change the system from within, and the only solution is violent revolution.
Kamala Harris is living proof that there is a more humane, more deliberate, and more effective way to improve a broken system than simply waiting for it to destroy itself and hoping something better replaces it.
Her existence challenges the worldview of certain extreme leftists who would rather punish the system for its sins than try to improve it. They have become so resistant to having this worldview challenged that they are participating in a smear campaign against Kamala Harris. They are now promoting a false narrative that she's totally corrupt and morally bankrupt and she hasn't accomplished anything, just so they can continue evangelizing their false doctrine that corrupt systems are irredeemable, and the only solution is violent revolution.
I don't know what it will take to de-radicalize the leftists who've fallen into this ideological pit where they value ideological purity over actual real-world progress.
Kamala Harris is not perfect, and that's actually a point in her favor.
Because perfect is the enemy of good.
We don't need our political leaders to be perfect. We need them to do good.

Sonya Massey called the police regarding a prowler.
They came over and murdered her.
They tried to cover it up, saying she was attacking them with a pot of hot water.
Deputy Sean P. Grayson was unaware that his partner had turned his camera back on.
This isn't bad apples. This is police.
The full video, in which you listen to him begin to coach the narrative they'd report. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFun2GydGyU

This emblem on the shoulder of Israeli soldiers is clear evidence that their goal is not just to occupy Gaza, but all of Palestine, Jordan, parts of Egypt, Iraq, and Syria
Google is hiding the truth, and playing with words to change the facts, and to change the truth about what happened in Nuseirat camp, it's literally censoring the Nuseirat Massacre.
You know, with how strongly so many on Tumblr have reacted to the possibility of TikTok bans, I would have thought that the fact that both sides of Australian politics are planning to ban all social media for everyone under 16 would be something somebody would have at least mentioned:
Like, let us not forget that while social media can cause harm, it's also an important space for lots of kids to find information and support, especially queer kids, and/or kids with abusive families (among others).
Also, I feel like I shouldn't need to explain why "Think of the Children!" rhetoric isn't trustworthy, and why being required to submit your ID to corporations that make their money by selling data should be avoided at all costs. With the ammout of Australians who have been impacted by massive data breaches and leaks, the idea of being made to put even more of our personal information online is not an enticing one.
