"El Secreto De Una Buena Vejez No Es Otra Cosa Que Un Pacto Honrado Con La Soledad. "

when a woman views the world in a female-centric way, she's biased and unreasonable and emotional and illogical, but a man who upholds the male-centric status quo believes himself to be totally neutral and uninfluenced by male supremacy

radfems: women are adult human females

tras: you mean the fuck hole sex? the baby maker sex? the one who should always be in the kitchen and wearing dresses? the bleeder? god TERFS are so misogynistic. :/

Cats painting studies by Paul Rabaud

I feel bad for being a hater sometimes like I'll read an interview and some actor or director will talk about all the care and love they put into their work and how much it meant to them and I'm always like oh king that's so lovely 🥺 the movie does still suck though like it is still bad

In 1912 Alfred Wegener proposed a controversial theory about how the Earth’s land masses formed. He said the great continents had once formed a single landmass, which had broken up over time. The idea went against all conventional ideas, and was roundly dismissed.

It took the work of young cartographer Marie Tharp to prove him right.

In 1947, she worked on a team that were running expeditions around the world, mapping the ocean floors with echolocation. However, Marie wasn’t allowed on the missions because women were seen as ‘bad luck’…

But the work she did back at the university was invaluable. Converting endless data into detailed profiles, she realised that the ocean floor isn’t a flat, featureless plane, but a complex, varied landscape.

Most importantly, she spotted a long, V-shaped valley in each of her profiles: a rift valley that supported Wegener’s theory, formed by two land masses moving apart, splitting the ocean floor in two.

But even with this evidence, Tharp’s ideas were dismissed as ‘girl talk’.

She then realised that her profiles tied in with worldwide earthquake maps being developed by a colleague.

The mounting evidence started to convince some sceptics, but not all. Renowned explorer Jacques Cousteau was so unconvinced that he sent an expedition to film the ocean floor and clear things up once and for all. What did his footage show? Exactly what Tharp had predicted.

Tharp’s steadfast determination had paved the way for Wegener’s continental drift theory to gain traction. As the tide of opposition waned, it gave birth to our modern understanding of plate tectonics and secured Tharp’s position as one of the most outstanding cartographers of the 20th century.

can we talk about that in catcher in the rye, holden unironically cares about when other people get excited and start talking really fast about something they enjoy? and he hates the fact that anyone else would ever stop someone from talking about something they love, and he is disgusted at humans, like teachers or other people around him for shutting someone down when they're genuinely excited and happy? this book was written in 1950s, man, and holden is still so relatable! like, holden is fundamentally good, and the reason he feels so alienated is because he understands that the world is ugly, and he is disgusted and angry by this world, and i think that's amazing.

I wish it were more acceptable for girls and women to just call feminine beauty expectations degrading.

LMFAOOOO

Why isn't radblr talking about Adriana Kuch

this is unbelievably cruel.. n the attackers gloating n still talking badly of her after she died.. repulsive. the school should face consequences bc they’ve dealt with this horribly. they advised the parents to keep the girl home so her bullies don’t mock her instead of… holding the bullies accountable??? what kind of logic
