...and then do something to kill time, forget what I'm doing, and wow, I'm seven hours late....
me: *has to be at a place at a certain time*
place: *is 2 hours away, tops*
me, unable to accurately process time: Well, I'd better leave at least 5 hours early
New research, published in October in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded that despite size discrepancy, there’s no functional difference between men’s and women’s brains. “Male” brains and “female” brains simply don’t exist. In fact, there’s significant overlap.
and the myth of binary biological sex and gender essentialism continues to come crumbling down
Am I the only one that’s a just a tiny bit pissed off that this is still an issue?
The Original Series wasn’t even in the general VICINITY of fucking around yo
How many shows these days would do this, and do it this way? These days, it would be all, “Ohh, we have to be sensitive and show the nuances of each side” and try not to make either side seem wrong. It wouldn’t be clearly spelled out, “pro-choice is right, if you’re against it you’re the bad guys.”
Jim Kirk is not here for your anti-birth-control, anti-choice, pro-death-penalty BS
James Tiberius Kirk was written and portrayed as a feminist and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Yep. That episode is exactly what you think it is: pro-birth control, pro-population control, pro-choice, and pro-women’s right to choose. And yes, Kirk, the supposed playboy of the spaceways, is in favor of all of the above.
It was written and aired in 1969.
It probably couldn’t air today.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
Also LMAO at all the sad whiny geek boys who are like “I miss the GOOD OLD DAYS of SCI-FI when it wasn’t all about SOCIAL ISSUES and instead it was just about MEN HAVING FUN IN SPACE. Like Star Trek! Star Trek wouldn’t put up with all this SOCIAL JUSTICE FEMINISM IN SCI FI bullshit!” And meanwhile I’m just over here like “…did you actually watch the show?”
In case you dont understand, when LGBT people say they feel uncomfortable with people posting rainbows over their icons whilst not being supportive of LGBT people in the least this is exactly what they mean
I’ll be honest, whenever a work of speculative fiction (fanmade or otherwise) goes out of its way to describe an intelligent species with bizarre and complicated reproductive biology, the first question that invariably pops into my head is: “How do these critters masturbate?”
what if masturbation was uniquely a human experience though
Okay, I know that you meant “what if humans are the only intelligent species that’s anatomically capable of masturbating?”, but now I’m picturing a universe where humans are the only ones that ever thought to try it.
Human masturbation specialists traveling the galaxy to offer our gift, undertaking rigorous study and enormous personal risk to teach weird-ass aliens how to rub one out.
Calculating the exact harmonic frequencies to allow ancient, vacuum-dwelling crystalline intelligences to self-stimulate.
Descending into the crushing atmospheres of gas giants in specially constructed aerostats to design sex toys for the vast, jellyfish-like super-predators that prowl the hurricane slipstreams.
“Serena Williams is one of the greatest athletes of all time. Period. She needs no qualifiers: male, female, human… horse. How is this even a question? And yet, when Sports Illustrated named Williams its 2015 Sportsperson of the Year, the pick was greeted in some circles with howls and neighs of protest.
On Sunday, SI announced that American Pharoah had won its online reader poll, “as the one who embodied the spirit of sportsmanship and achievement this year.”There’s no question the 3-year-old colt achieved a tremendous amount this year, winning the Triple Crown for the first time since Affirmed in 1978. Yet as SI explained, when it named her and not American Pharoah its Sportsperson of the Year, “Williams, 34, won three major titles, went 53–3 and provided at least one new measure of her tyrannical three-year reign at No. 1.For six weeks this summer — and for the first time in the 40-year history of the WTA rankings — Williams amassed twice as many ranking points as the world No. 2.”
Sports Illustrated has only named a solo woman its Sportsperson of the Year twice before — the last time was Mary Decker in 1983. The magazine rarely puts women on the cover at all — at least actual athletes, not bikini models - and even more rarely spotlights women of color. A 2013 study from the International Review for the Sociology of Sport found that over an 11-year span, women appeared on only 4.9 percent of the magazine’s covers — and many of them were “minimized by sharing covers with male counterparts, featuring anonymous women not related directly to sports participation, sexually objectifying female athletes, and promoting women in more socially acceptable gender-neutral or feminine sports.”
Y'ever get the feeling you're enjoying the wrong parts of politics?
It's finally happening—the right is dividing amongst itself and Rush Limbaugh has landed solidly on the side of Ted Cruz.
During his radio show Monday, Limbaugh came to the defense of Cruz, whom Donald Trump had criticized over the weekend as being a "maniac" due to the way he's conducted himself in the Senate. If anything can actually throw some cold water on Donald Trump's extended run in the sun, this is it.
Trump told Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” that Cruz does not have the “right temperament” to be president. “You can’t walk into the Senate, and scream and call people liars and not be able to cajole and get along with people,” he said. “He’ll never get anything done.”
Limbaugh reacted, “Doesn’t that kind of describe the way Trump has been dealing with people he disagrees with?”
“I mean, even calling them stupid? He’s been calling them incompetent. He’s been saying you can’t get anything done with these people.”
“But even [Trump supporters] who are not particularly aligned with Cruz have gotta be curious about this, because this is no different than what the media would say about Ted Cruz. This is no different than what the Democrat Party would say. I mean, this what the Republican establishment would say, for crying out loud.”
Heh, Trump's now a tool of the GOP establishment. Ouch!
The media has been predicting Trump’s demise for months—his swipe against John McCain, his hurling epithets, his Muslim ban. Turns out, none of that mattered. But Limbaugh just might, and this is pretty great. It has all the makings of a right-wing food fight where all the radio nut jobs out-bluster each other, choose sides, and tear down a tea party darling in the process (whether it’s Trump or Cruz). Yum!
I'm only interested if they reboot with Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor.
Look, I know Javier Grillo-Marxuach has done many things in his career—both Deadline and Variety have him as a “Lost alum.” But I will always leap to The Middleman first. And then follow him wherever he goes. The fact that it happens to be Xena is just the icing on the cake.
I was three. When Empire came out in theaters, my local theater did a special showing of A New Hope, and that was the first movie I ever saw in a theater.
I was 8. I saw it in the theatre that first year at least 4 times.
-5! I wonder how I was in my past life and if they saw it!
You know, it’s not often I feel like a baby on Tumblr but I was -12….
UK premiere was December 27th 1977, so I was 21, 2 months, 1 week.
The second (or maybe third) time I went to see it, I got home in time for the first episode of “Blake’s 7″.
OMG… :-P
I was - 10
Three and a half months old as of the North American release date. Thankfully they rescreened the entire trilogy when ROTJ came out, so I saw the whole thing in cinemas. A lot.

-18 *sweats*
I was 1
I was 3 :-)
I was 5.

I was 2.
I was three in 1977. I turned four late that year, but when Star Wars came out, I was three.
“Adoptions by same-sex couples in England, Scotland and Wales are at a record high, according to new figures released by the Department for Education.
Between April 2014 and March 2015, 8.5% of all adoptions in England were by same-sex parents – 450 in total.
In Wales, this figure has increased six-fold in the past four years, to 30 adoptions, and in Scotland, 17 adoptions.
Most adoptions – 90% – were by two people, either living together as partners, married, or in a civil partnership.
For the first time, ‘married’ parents also include same-sex couples who were able to marry legally as of summer 2014, as well as those in a civil partnership; 5% of adoptions in England were from parents in civil partnerships, up from last year’s figure of 2%.”
Yep, & Peeta lost his leg in the first book because of infection, & Katniss needed a hearing aid. But why would Hollywood acknowledge disabled people being heroes of their stories that don’t revolve around ‘i am disabled & sad & now i shall OVERCOME’?
i’ll never understand people who wake up and immediately begin talking because i need to go through a 2 hour period of wanting to kill a man before i’m ready for human interaction
I am one of those people.
I’m still working on getting it down to two hours or less.
The “friend zone” and unrequited love are not the same thing. Unrequited love is, “I love you, you don’t love me in that same way, I am sad about that.” The “friend zone” is, “I love you, you don’t love me in that same way, you have therefore wronged me.”
Unrequited love is, “My unilateral crush is my problem.” The “friend zone” is, “My unilateral crush is your problem.”
Passion is usually thought of as some intrinsic calling you either have or you don’t. It’s a frustrating way to think about passion if you don’t know what yours is. But as author and financial expert Stefanie O’Connell points out, passion is something you can find.
Since the Media isn’t covering it, here’s the Anti-Donald Trump protest that was held in Toronto, Canada (at the Trump Hotel). Date of Protest: December 11th, 2015.
I know people joke sometimes about how Canada should apologize for Celine Dion or Justin Bieber or whoever, so on behalf of halfway decent Americans everywhere, I would like to apologize for Donald Trump. You cannot begin to imagine how sorry we are.
