Remember that time when Hermione was jealous of Ron and Lavender, so she assaults him with magical birds? Because that’s fucking insane and I never see anyone talking about it. She assaults the boy she likes because he kissed another girl. Guys. Seriously. Stop bringing up that time Ron was mean in the Yule Ball when they were fourteen and ignoring this shit.

Talking about Lavender! The Halfblood Prince book presents her as a fucking dumbass that deserves no respect and as inferior to Hermione because *checks notes* she’s a normal teenage girl. She’s a bit clingy with her first boyfriend and gives him a silly nickname, she likes to be pretty and read girl magazines, she’s not as good as Hermione, who is smart and doesn’t care about girly things. Woah, that’s a bit sexist, isn’t it? Specially because we’ve known Lavender for six books and she’s always been presented as a good person that will stand for her friends and housemates… but wait! She’s kissing Hermione’s crush! I guess she’s a worthless idiot now. Sad.

Cho Chang. Do I have to explain Cho Chang? Didn’t think so.

And by the way, Fleur is treated like shit through all the books because she’s hot and french. Even in Deathly Hallows, when she’s helping the Order and has proven herself, the girls have a bitchfest about how much she sucks because she has opinions about her own wedding. And, when Harry tries to defend her, Hermione tells him that he’s only saying that because he thinks Fleur is pretty. Nice! I guess that one of the champions of the Triwizard Tournament is nothing but a pretty face because she complained about the color scheme of her wedding. Cute, Rowling, very cute. This is either her bias showing or her way of saying that girls hate prettier girls without a reason. Either way, fuck off.

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero

Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”  

also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.
