Revolutionary camera recording propulsion data completes groundbreaking test - See at NASA
While thousands turned out to watch NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) recently complete a full-scale test of its booster, few were aware of the other major test occurring simultaneously. NASA’s High Dynamic Range Stereo X (HiDyRS-X) project, a revolutionary high-speed, high dynamic range camera, filmed the test, recording propulsion video data in never before seen detail.
So I just read this article about how people end up fucking up whatever task they’re doing when they feel like they’re being watched. Scientists have discovered that the sense of being observed actually SHUTS OFF a part of the brain, the inferior parietal cortex.
Given the fact that women are constantly watched in our society, and we are constantly REMINDED that we are being watched by people making fun of fat, “ugly”, or gender-nonconforming women, it makes me wonder how many women have messed up important tasks or projects or just day-to-day activities because A PART OF OUR BRAIN is permanently being deactivated?
Like talk about a fucking handicap.
Women are constantly held under the microscope- whether we are attractive or unattractive, the gaze of patriarchy never ends.
Just last week I was walking my dog and bent over to literally pick up poop. Suddenly I heard whistling and looked up cause I knew I was the only person around. Sure enough, about 300 feet away, some construction worker was perched on top of a building, grinning at me and calling out stuff I luckily couldn’t hear because he was so goddamn far away.
I wonder what it does to women to have this constant source of stress hanging over us, each and every day, knowing we are being scrutinized and examined no matter what we’re doing. I wonder how many more accomplishments, life-changing discoveries, inventions, etc would have been achieved by women if we didn’t have this constant brain-handicap imposed on us by men.
This feeling of being watched extends even when we’re alone and affects our abilities- here’s a study where women took a math test while in a bathing suit and performed significantly worse than women fully dressed, even though all the women were alone when taking the test. The men in bathing suits and the men fully-dressed had no significant difference in performance. It is a major fucking handicap.
yes offense but non-binary people who aren’t androgynous and use she/her or he/him pronouns are 110% just as valid as non-binary people who are androgynous and use they/them pronouns
Vitiligo:
“I always feel so out of place, I see people I used to know and they don’t even wave at me in the street, sometimes I wonder if I exist other times am reminded how much am prominent. Black with a white scar, brown with a bright discolouration supposedly unique to the world yet I fail to see the it. People are open minded but the eyes don’t lie.
Their eyes don’t say what they’re words try.
Birthmarks are sometimes beautiful, even celebrated yet its revolutionary for someone with my infliction to be a successful model in the 21st century? Only reminds me that adoration comes after ridicule, pedestals built on trying to elevate society’s conscience, the self righteousness that comes with collaboration with the outcasts. I mean lately chalks gong gender stereotypes is a wave but before it warranted nothing but persecution and shunning, maybe we’re getting better as people or maybe exploitive thinking is the key to all this change. Either way am stuck between being beauty and having a mark, between different and outcast”

200 fucking years and not a damn thing has changed.
These are human beings.
Our brothers, our sisters, our siblings.
They will die.
THEY WILL DIE.
But the pipeline will be good for the economy, right?
Action, now!
The government did nothing about the armed anti government nuts in Oregon but jump to war strategies with Native Americans. This is so dangerous someone could easily die of dehydration in this heat.
Smh fuck the Government
If this makes you angry, sign the “We The People” petition at whitehouse.gov. It needs 26,674 more signatures to prompt a response by the White House.

friendly reminder that the boutique guitar effect pedal industry was invented by a trans woman named devi ever.
Devi Ever’s stompboxes are ripped off constantly by larger companies. Her use of joysticks and photoresistors in her pedals is an innovative technique which has been copied repeatedly by other manufacturers.
Devi has been subject to transmisogynistic attacks for years by the smashing pumpkins billy corgan
She was also stalked and harassed by the gamergate movement after she started developing video games.
$70k+ in debt due to declining health, devi sold her business to dwarfcraft devices, a company which forced her to sign a brutal non-compete agreement.
that have consistently refused to pay her royalties for the rights to her work at a time during which she could not afford therapy, transition-related medical care and even lost weight due to not eating.
Sometime recently, she resumed manufacturing stompboxes again under the name “fuzzgoddess”
If you want to support her work as of late, check out her website and patreon
