Nov. 12th, 2016 12:32 amLet's begin with the binding vote all women took to set the rules. And go from there to the role that hair and hairstyling played in the Second Great War. Past that, though, Peppermint Patty as fierce advocate for sport equity.
Voting is a crucial exercise for all - Inez Milholland often was and looked like a herald ushering in the era of women having the vote.
Fulfill your child's imagination, when you can. Let them learn interesting things about themselves and their world. Think about enlivening someone's day with harmless hotel requests.
Customers of Wells Fargo banks must now sort through their account statements to see how much their money and credit has been damaged by the bank's shenanigans.
The virtues of fanfic in developing both community and writing skill. Developing the craft of writing from the basic blocks. And also, the understanding that writing about people different than you requires all the same skills as writing about people that are the same as you.
Trying to answer the question of how long your series should be, as a question of profit.
One must recall the culture a thing is situated in if one is going to criticize it effectively and well.
Feeling like you are falling at adulting may very well be impostor syndrome at work, with your mental model of success not finding any analogue in what you are actually doing.
The person speaking on an issue has an impact on whether it not their voice is heard on the issue - even when the thing that impacts and the thing being spoken about aren't the same.
On the problems associated with continuing to speak up when others want to silence you.
Good advice on possibly getting rid of or being way annoyed at any man that declares someone not a virgin when they are. Advice on ditching a man that only loves rough sex and doesn't take into account his partner's desires.
On recognizing your media culture makes no bones about how much sexually assaulting people is okay.
The power of pockets is the power to hide things and carry them invisibly. For someone who wants women not to have power, having no pockets is important.
Attempts to get commuters to talk to each other often ends in failure.
Attempting to keep the government running succeeds, even as it continues to give delays to the repair and replacement of Flint, Michigan's water supplies.
The people who wanted the UK to leave the EU may have been driven by the Government's decision to engage in austerity. which kind of makes sense, if then you acknowledge that Leave successfully blamed those problems on Europe. And not necessarily true things got blamed.
Fat Mermaids, a zine all about, well, fat mermaids. Pair well in art admiration with the gay Loteria.
The many reasons why humans are the most feared species in the Star Trek universe - because they have endless potential and routinely put it to work in strange and scary ways.
The ability to see others' perspectives, including a future self, may be related to self-control.
Hollywood should cast trans women for a role that calls for trans women. If Hollywood doesn't know enough trans women to cast, then that means Hollywood needs to find more. Similarly, awards about portrayal of trans* characters...should probably go to trans* actors. Novel concept, that.
No, everyone is not a little bit autistic - if we were, the world would be very different. Besides, gender stereotypes make it so that plenty of women who should be seen as autistic are instead seen as perfectly feminine.
People with ADHD are potentially strongly sensitive to rejection or its potential.
The intersections of being queer and disabled can be problematic if the queer community is ablist.
It is more difficult to correct wrong information that a person has concluded themselves than wrong information they have been told - which makes implicit gender bias very hard to defeat.
A guilty pleasure often obtains its guilty status by the observation (and condemnation) of others. Contrast the degree in which entities like film studios tell stories about groups of people without actually hiring or consulting anyone from that group.
Working in the sex industry often gives insight into the things that people need but feel like they can't have. And, unsurprisingly, involves a lot of listening while people talk about things that have nothing to do with sex.
On the changing status of hairstyle as marker of identity.
English is a strange language, with odd origins. And the punctuation is pretty weird, too. The ellipsis, for example, has potentially had more than a few jobs. And new words show up all the time, like 'misogynoir'.
A single verse song about the presence and fear of an armed person survives and resonates to our own times. Even without the weapons, though, the ability to leverage both privilege and oppression makes can make any group downright scary.
Sports and hobbies are things that often have an economic privilege component to them. Such that even things that appear to be easy, like running, have complexities.
Rental contracts at least eight hundred years old are still being paid according to their original prices. Capturing the events and festivals that happen only once a year.
The surreal and occasionally disturbing artwork of Shaun Tan. The lasting power of Clue the movie comes from its leading ladies. The cast of a show about casually-dressed nerds in high-fashion photos, a photograph of the moon, a meteor, and an active lava flow, tattoos working just fine on darker skin tones, pictures of a black hole consuming a star, pictures of neural paths, and pictures of one of Jupiter's moons.
Someone should tell education secretaries that axing the arts is a bad idea. Otherwise, they will unironically miss the point of a work of literature.
The disturbing thoughts of how climate changes will affect the world's population.
The possibility that a measles infection has long-lasting effects on immune system recovery, well beyond the initial infection and fighting things off.
The brain of the climber that does many tough routes without harness, rope, or protective equipment. The many tricks Microsoft employed to get people to install Windows 10. Netflix's (likely temporary) victory against people wanting to watch georestricted content.
Cat furniture to maximize space, the iridescent plumage of the nicobar pigeon, the near ubiquity of sleep and the need for it, the cats of science fiction and fantasy series and novels, cute animals wearing small sweaters, adorable sloths, shop cats of Hong Kong stores, pictures of cats mid-pounce, preparations for a cow parade, wombats on Tinder, a zebra shark that wants cuddles, a baby bat with a soother, a cat and their hammock, a cat that does not want you to jingle a bell, cats and a giant cat food can toy, a human holding a cat holding a kitten, tiger/panther cuddles, what happens when you let cats near baubles, puppy upon dog, and a curious cat.
Last for tonight, the orchestra still gets to have fun on the mambo. Also, harmoniously poking fun at a reality regarding musical tastes.
A synchronicity of birthdays - Ursula K. LeGuin, Carrie Fisher, Wonder Woman. Beautiful princesses. Beautiful Tinkerbell. Wonder Stevonnie.
If the person you are considering making a life with has no interest in learning how to do necessary things on their own, they're not a person to make a life with.
The list of Science Fiction and Fantasy books back in print.
