Oh, no

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

Setting unrealistic beauty expextations for men, or bins or whatever.

Critical support to these scammers weaponizing homophobia to drain right-wingers' bank accounts 🫡

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Hell yeah moon holiday

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY

moon day is 20th July!!!

Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!

Happy moon day to all who celebrate

This is your reminder to prep for Moon Day on July 20th.

MOON DAY MONDAY THIS MONTH NOT A DRILL!!!!!

Just thinking about kat and 6 being the only women on noble team. Kat's hair is really short while 6's hair is longer, choppy, and uneven. You can easily tell she cuts her hair with crafts scissors when it gets too long. Yeah it's out of dress code but nobody has ever seen 6 without her helmet off so who cares. Except for noble team. Kat and 6 have a strange mutual understanding. They were orphans turned child soldiers. They remember their parents and planets and childhoods. Whenever kat braids 6's hair she feels normal again. It's healing to have a small slice of normalcy, sisterhood, in spite of constant war. And 6 feels the same way as well. Maybe it reminds kat of when she used to braid her friends' hair during recess when she was a little girl. Maybe it reminds 6 of when her mom or older sister braided her hair when her family was still alive and deeply treasured 6.

pause. are they implying riptide is made out of the same metal kronos's scythe was made out of? or did poseidon literally carve kronos up with riptide millennia ago? in the pjoverse, zeus uses his scythe to dismember him and cut him into a thousand pieces, and now percy is claiming that riptide was used to "kill" kronos millennia ago. so like. riptide being made out of the same metal as the scythe? crazy lore but alright

wait the concept of the metal of kronos’s scythe that was used to topple ouranos and kronos being disbursed all over the world millennia ago—out of fear of its power and continuing the cycle of toppling the rulers—eventually becoming part of riptide, thalia’s spear, and nico’s stygian iron sword…………
