Stardew lover but not actually a tool. Mostly I live on Tumblr. Some politics. Huge fan of YouTube as a media source. Share me your Doberman and cattle dog pics.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done
eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

With age, I am understanding things I never understood when I was younger.
ONE of those things, is the value of doing Fucking Anything™.
Taking ANY action, inspires other people to take action. This ripple effect is more powerful than the original Anything™ you do.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”

As with so many other things, there’s no official explanation for Trump’s “shutting down government-funded cancer research” policy. But with Trump pretending to care about cancer treatment at his joint address, we can rule out woowoo nonsense as a rationale. The only available explanations are evil.
