FILMS WATCHED IN 2017 → Hidden Figures (2016) dir. Theodore Melfi. I will have you know, I was the first negro female student at West Virginia university graduate school. On any given day, I analyze the binomial levels air displacement, friction and velocity. And compute over ten thousand calculations by cosine, square root and lately analytic geometry. By hand. There are twenty, bright, highly capable negro women in the west computing group, and we’re proud to be doing our part for the country. So yes, they let women do some things at NASA, Mr. Johnson. And it’s not because we wear skirts. It’s because we wear glasses. Have a good day.
This is the most badass thing I’ve heard from a half naked chick.
EDIT: If you don’t like it, don’t reblogg. This is an anime, not a women’s issues forum. I really liked this scene because it reminded me why I shouldn’t be self conscious about my appearance. Thanks to every single reblogg explaining why I shouldn’t be inspired by something that made me happy. Thanks a lot.
Satsuki is telling people that if you look at her with perverted eyes you are the problem!! She doesn’t give a shit and no one must be ashamed by their own body. This is a huge message.
Aries: “Ugh. Darwin was right. I didn’t realize I was working with a bunch of lemmings.”
Taurus: “I should think less like a human being that uses doors, and more like a… squirrel that has anger problems.”
Gemini: “It’s like the classic debate of why measuring the position of an electron changes its momentum and vice-versa. The only correct answer is to get drunk and set fire to things.”
Cancer: “Since this morning, I’ve been bitten, shot, bombed, electrocuted, almost drowned, almost fallen to my death, and strangled. Rasputin wasn’t so lucky.”
Leo: “I HAVE TO BLOW EVERYTHING UP. IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO PROVE THAT I’M NOT CRAZY.”
Virgo: “You can never prove the absence of ninjas, only their direct presence.”
Libra: “What was that Nietzsche said? ‘He who fights drummers should see to it that in the process he does not himself become a drummer’? […] I wonder if Nietzsche was in a band. I bet he was. I should look him up when I get out of here. I bet the songs have pretty deep lyrics.”
Scorpio: “Friends are like weeds that scream.”
Sagittarius: “It looks like an anemometer, but it is not. Anemometers don’t fire bullets. Not even the expensive ones. Or I don’t think they do. If they do, meteorologists are more hardcore than I thought.”
Capricorn: “So yeah, I’m killing people now. But that was NOT murder. That was TOTALLY self-defense. Just because I have a sub-machine gun doesn’t change anything.”
Aquarius: “I do belong in a pedestal, but metaphorically, God damn it!”
today I went out to get some research started with two other people i’m working with and we ended up on this fairly treacherous cliff/slope spot trying to navigate to some tricky coordinates and one of my group members slipped on the slope and started sliding and he reached out and grabbed for a sapling and the ground was so loose it just started going down with him and I was too far away to immediately help him but I wanted to alert my other group member to his peril but I fuckin’ panicked and I just said “THERE he GOES”
if you ever feel you didn’t respond correctly to a situation, ask yourself if you watched someone all but totally fall off a cliff and said “there he goes”
OBVIOUSLY he’s okay or I wouldn’t have posted about it. He got another, sturdier tree.
one time i was camping with my gf in a park that had hella bears and it was dark and we were sitting around the campfire and i had the sudden inkling to turn around and there was a bear not five feet behind me and my first instinct was to say “HEY. YOURE not supposed to be here!” and i feel like that has very similar energy
We Are What We Feel
