There’s a difference between challenging yourself and overwhelming yourself. It’s okay to go at your own pace, okay?

#ReasonsToSupportBOP

It’s so insidious that ‘gender roles’ have been assigned to being a top and bottom lol like. A very masculine, very strong butch can be a bottom. A very feminine, princess-like femme can be a top. Acting like only butches can be tops is literally just misogyny and homophobia wrapped into a nasty little bundle. Stop assuming things abt the sex lives of strangers.

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

Tonight, count the stars and remember a trailblazer. 

We’re saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. She passed away at 101 years old. 

An America hero, Johnson’s legacy of excellence broke down racial and social barriers while helping get our space agency off the ground.

Once a “human computer”, she famously calculated the flight trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space.

And when we began to use electronic computers for calculations, astronaut John Glenn said that he’d trust the computers only after Johnson personally checked the math.

As a girl, Katherine Johnson counted everything. As a mathematician, her calculations proved critical to our early successes in space travel.

With slide rules and pencils, Katherine Johnson’s brilliant mind helped launch our nation into space. No longer a Hidden Figure, her bravery and commitment to excellence leaves an eternal legacy for us all.

“We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.” - Katherine Johnson 1918 -2020 

May she rest in peace, and may her powerful legacy inspire generations to come! What does Katherine Johnson’s legacy mean to you? Share in the comments.

the real glo up is when you accept everyone for who they are and you accept yourself for who you are and focus your energy on enjoying life and making the best of every moment instead of looking around at everyone else’s life with envy and self loathing

masculinity is a prison, time doesn’t exist, gender isn’t real, virginity is a construct, and Jesus wasn’t white.

Me: 

When just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions of course rice is the damn problem 😒

Better tell over 50% of the human race they can’t eat their main staple crop anymore because a bunch of bigwigs love oil more than reason

The Straits Times its owned by Singapore Press Holdings; the chairman of which, Lee Boon Yang, is also the chairman of Keppel Corporation, which owns the world’s largest oil rig builder. Funny, that.

growing up reading fantasy books was such a bust cause your whole life you’re left wanting more from life and like there’s something missing and you’re just waiting for that missing part to begin but it’s never gonna come
