Oh oh ooooh fuck, oh fu

Instead of choosing Trump, Time Magazine instead chose to make their ‘Person of the Year’ the Silence Breakers: AKA: Women who have come out to speak up against sexual misconduct/assault!

INSTEAD OF CHOOSING TRUMP, TIME MAGAZINE MADE THE ‘PERSON OF THE YEAR’ WOMEN WHO HAVE SPOKE UP AGAINST SEXUAL MISCONDUCT/ASSAULT!

Speaking at the British Science Festival, which is taking place in Swansea, she said: “There is no such thing as a male or female brain.

“There is no one aspect of the brain even which if a scientist looked at it they could tell whether it came from a man or a woman.

“We shouldn’t be talking about sex differences in the brain. The brain is a mosaic and every brain is different for every individual.

“Using our neuroscience resources to measure differences is actually a waste of time. It’s more interesting to see what makes individual brains different.”

Prof Rippon believes that studies claiming differences between males and females are due to cultural and environmental factors.

She said that women become “wired” for multi-tasking not because of anything innate, but because that is what society expects of them.

And Prof Rippon said that the segregation between girls and boys even occurs from a young age – with them being given different toys to play with and different books to read – and that could change the way in which their brains develop.

She told an audience at Swansea University that boys’ toys can often be more training-based while girls’ toys are more nurturing.

“I’d say to the scientific community, can we please stop talking about sex? Stop dividing your data into two categories, you are losing so much information,” Prof Rippon said.

“Not only are we feeding the ‘neuro-trash’ industry misunderstanding about what we do, but we are also feeding the inner wimp of people out there who believe that they can or can’t do something based on whether they are male or female.”

The timing  of the high intensity marketing of fairy princess femininity and the extreme segregation of boy and girl toy lines was no coincidence. Susan Faludi wrote about it in a book called “Backlash”.

World Suicide Prevention Day 2016

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

No matter what you are going through, you don’t have to go through it alone. There are resources available to help.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need it, Tumblr.

At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.  At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer. 

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.   At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.  At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.  At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career and landed his first movie role at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 46.

Morgan Freeman landed his first major movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Award for Best Director when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it. 

Never tell yourself you missed your chance. 

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough. 

You can do it. Whatever it is. 

Holy shit this is inspiring

oh how i needed to see this

This came at the right time.
