first and foremost, a movie about three black women who were boss mathematicians and played integral roles in NASA’s first successful space missions while living in the Jim Crow South in the 1960s

PLAYED BY JANELLE MONAE, TARAJI P HENSON, AND OCTAVIA SPENCER

an opening that your fave, Beautiful Minds COULD NEVER

octavia spencer taking the piss out of a white cop who can’t believe three black women work for nasa

a shitty nasa bro confusing taraji with the cleaning lady (AND YOU KNOW THERE’S ABOUT TO BE SOME COMEUPPANCE FOR THAT)

mahershala ali being taraji’s fine ass love interest

and taraji taking his ass to school with yes women work at nasa, not because we wear skirts, but because we wear glasses

janelle monae spittin this fire: we go from being our father’s daughters, to our husband’s wives, to our baby’s mothers

also janelle monae hitting on JOHN GLENN cause she all about that equal opportunity flirtin

also janelle monae spittin more fire: every time we have a chance to get ahead, they move the finish line

the moment when these women’s families are gathered around watching the launch and they’re so proud of their mamas, aunties, daughters, and wives making history (and then suddenly you’re tearing up)

also janelle monae spittin even more fire: if i were a white man i wouldn’t have to want to be an engineer, i’d already be one

THE MOTHERFUCKING SISTERHOOD POWER WALK 

Mater Dolorosa made it thru hell and disaster
