Happy International Women’s Day! Here’s a list of TED-Ed Lessons to watch as you celebrate all of the world’s women, past and present.
The genius of Marie Curie: Marie Skłodowska Curie’s revolutionary research laid the groundwork for our understanding of physics and chemistry, blazing trails in oncology, technology, medicine, and nuclear physics, to name a few. But what did she actually do? Shohini Ghose expounds on some of Marie Skłodowska Curie’s most revolutionary discoveries.
The contributions of female explorers: During the Victorian Age, women were unlikely to become great explorers, but a few intelligent, gritty and brave women made major contributions to the study of previously little-understood territory. Courtney Stephens examines three women – Marianne North, Mary Kingsley and Alexandra David-Néel – who wouldn’t take no for an answer (and shows why we should be grateful that they didn’t).
Equality, sports and Title IX: In 1972, U.S. Congress passed Title IX, a law which prohibited discrimination against women in schools, colleges, and universities — including school-sponsored sports. Before this law, female athletes were few and far between, and funding was even scarcer. Erin Buzuvis and Kristine Newhall explore the significance and complexity of Title IX.
The true story of Sacajawea: In the early 19th century, a young Agaidika teenager named Sacajawea was enlisted by explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to aid her husband Toussaint Charbonneau as a guide to the Western United States. Karen Mensing debunks some of the myths that surround the familiar image of the heroic woman with a baby strapped to her back and a vast knowledge of the American wilderness.
Why should you read Virginia Woolf?: How best can we understand the internal experience of alienation? In both her essays and her fiction, Virginia Woolf shapes the slippery nature of subjective experience into words, while her characters frequently lead inner lives that are deeply at odds with their external existence. Iseult Gillespie helps make sense of these disparities to prepare you for the next time you read Virgina Woolf.
The pharaoh that wouldn’t be forgotten: Hatshepsut was a female pharaoh during the New Kingdom in Egypt. Twenty years after her death, somebody smashed her statues, took a chisel and attempted to erase the pharaoh’s name and image from history. But who did it? And why? Kate Green investigates Hatshepsut’s history for clues to this ancient puzzle.
Now that this corner is pretty much finished, I can turn my attention towards other parts of the house ✨
it literally takes zero effort to just ignore a ship that you don't like. as long as it's legal there's nothing wrong with people shipping characters that they want to ship.
if you hate it that much, don't interact with things involving that ship. it takes zero effort not to be a dick.
stop feeling like you need to announce you aren't a shipper of something when you're complicating an artist or writer. it's fucking rude and disheartening. keep that shit to yourself. you like the writing? you like it. you dont need to add how much you hate the ship or like a different ship better.
let people ship what they want (as long as it is legal)
“you’re going to have a great time. love, christopher.”
The holy trinity.
I can’t believe how fast time has gone, like how are we already at the end of a decade! Nevertheless, it has been a crazy couple years for me and I’m sure for most of us, lots of growing up and life changes. One thing that was special about this decade is I got into anime. I’ve always been a reserved person and around my high school days I had a lot of responsibilities that made it hard to do the things “normal” teenagers did. I think it would be safe to say that anime gave me enjoyment in life and the stories to be told. From the tearjerkers to the “WTF did I just watch”, the series that made me laugh like a maniac and the ones that left several holes in my walls, anime has definitely impacted my life one way or another (^^).
So to end this decade I’m going to be listing my favorite anime, some honorable mentions and underrated anime for each year (2010 - 2019). These are solely based on my own opinion and some shows not on here may just be ones I haven’t watched yet. Also I’m not going to be putting any continuing seasons, only season ones. I know I’m not very present on Tumblr as I used to be but I really love being on this platform. Happy new year and I hope the next decade treats everyone nice!

God, it seems like I’ve been running forever.
The situation with Mason Greenwood is disgusting and people focusing on the fact that 'his career is ruined' seriously need to check their priorities and values.
The photos I've seen are hearbreaking and I could not bring myself to listen to the voice recording.
I hope Harriet is safe now and I hope she gets the justice she deserves!
For far too long all celebrities especially football players have been able to get away with everything (racism, sexism, homophobia, domestic violence- you name it) because people excuse them with 'I only care about what he does on the pitch'
I am a football fan, hell I even 'liked' Mason til now but now I want him pay for what he has done.
It is way past the time to hold them accountable.
