hate it when people call ada lovelace the first female programmer, when in reality she was the first programmer ever. she wrote programs for a machine before it was ever constructed

Ada Lovelace was the first programmer and Charles Babbage was the first male programmer.

very glad to know and to have met so many people who reduce their meat consumption. vegetarians, pescatarians, vegans, vegan-ish folks, "reducetarians", people who don't buy meat but don't decline it if offered, people who don't buy meat but eat it if they hunt/fish it themselves, vegans who eat honey and mussels and insect eggs, "flexitarians", people who are mostly vegan but context-dependently so, people who do meatless mondays, people who try being vegetarian for a month to see how it goes, people who try cooking even a few meals a month without meat that otherwise would have it. there are so many ways to make a reduction in demand and any reduction helps! reducing even by 10% the associated methane and carbon dioxide emissions and water usage to grow animal feed for feedlots in the US would be worthwhile

Girls will say "I just need to lie down for a little while" and then sink into a muddy river and get all their hard.tissues replaced with mineral deposits

I love the outfit being displayed here, that topstitching is fabulous and the shirtwaist is lovely, but holy moly that is perhaps the most blatant editing of a waistline that I've ever seen ... I'm guessing that the original is a glass plate negative and a print made from it in the period would have had more editing happening during the process, but I'm glad we can see how that worked.
