The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Daintree National Park – a 135-million-year-old tropical rainforest – was handed back to the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people in a ceremony in the remote town of Bloomfield on Wednesday. The vast and steamy jungle is teeming with ancient and rare species – from a giant clawed cassowary bird to plants that have existed since the age of the dinosaurs. In total, 160,000 hectares (about 395,000 acres) of land on the Cape York peninsula – the northeast tip of Australia – is being returned to the area’s traditional Aboriginal owners […] The national parks will initially be jointly managed with the Queensland state government, before being transferred into the sole care of the Indigenous group.

“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”

- Sacha Coward

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.
