Dr. Mae Jemison, MD, the first black woman in space and first actual astronaut to appear on a Star Trek show, one of the very few people on this planet of whom two pictures can be posted depicting them doing their job on a spaceship with entirely different contexts.
Holy shit this is a serious contender for the best post I’ve ever seen on tumblr.
Imagine how many people’s lives they ruined. There were probably so many women that went in there knowing they destroyed that test. Yet, when they got their results back…they had to be so confused and disappointed. Mentally and emotionally, that had to be quite the blow. Anyway, this is evil.
And ossans here make the excuse “well they’ll quit when they get married/pregnant anyway so why waste time hiring them huehhueueh”. the whole gender role and work culture here contributes to this bullshit.
also tokyo university wasn’t the only school doing this, after this news came out a bunch of other medical universities were revealed to be doing it too.
so on 4chan the word “wapanese” was used to refer to dumb anime nerds. white boy wannabe japanese. makes sense.
A mod got pissed at it being used so much and said that the next person to use it would get banned, so the boards decided to use a silly nonsense word to replace it.
by complete general consensus, the boards picked the word “weeaboo” from a perry bible comic.
henceforth, “weeaboo” was used in replacement of “wapanese”.
the end.
I have learned so much
this should be taught in history class
An object lesson in how attempting to censor words always fails.
Anti-trans activists caused a transgender children’s charity - Mermaids - to have part of it’s lottery funding suspended. In response, Youtuber HBomberGuy decided to do a non-stop playthrough of Donkey King 64 until getting to 101% completion while donating any money raised to Mermaids.
Highlights: John Romero jumped on the stream and shouted “TRANS RIGHTS” which caused donations to go wild.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Cher retweeted the stream. AOC seems to have joined the Discord for the stream.
AOC TALKED ON DISCORD IN THE STREAM. She was amazing and so eloquent.
“fuck terfs gang” getting spammed in chat is cleansing my pores.
Further Update: Neil Gaiman retweeted. Also, they reached $222,222 while HBomberGuy was taking a #2.
Another Update: Matt Mercer retweeted. The chat also just helped pay for a disabled trans person’s wheelchair enough that they could basically buy two wheelchairs.
other highlights:
HBomberGuy getting stuck in fungi forest for like 2 hours looking for the rainbow coin
Grant Kirkhope said “trans rights!” in his donkey kong voice.
HBomberGuy asked AOC 1) if she knew how to turn on the frantic factory, which she didn’t but she did talk about playing pokemon snap as a kid, and 2) if she knew about the AOC dancing twitter account, which she did
Jack Black wanting to talk on the discord
Josh Sawyer showed up to talk on mic in discord
Chelsea E. Manning showed up to talk on mic in discord
they got the ceo of Mermaids herself to show up and talk, multiple times
they got every single person to show up say “trans rights!”
chuck tingle was just there and it was great

when you’re fixating on how awful the shutdown is and you can’t do anything to improve your country’s state of affairs so you have to resort to making memes to ease the anxiety
[id: a drawing of 9 different versions of Jade Harley. In all of them, she is a medium skinned woman with long wavy brown hair and green eyes. At the bottom of the page, she is lying down sleeping in a white skirt and a white shirt with blue accents, and is wearing many colored bands on her fingers. Above her, sitting, is her dream self, in a poofy prospit dress. On her left is Jade in the electrica dress, holding two frogs in one arm and clutching another in her hand. She is scowling at it. On Dream Jade’s right is her in the 3 AM dress. Above her, holding a pumpkin, is Jade in the Dead Shuffle dress, smiling delightedly. Behind and to the right of her is grimbark Jade, her skin a dark grey and green electricity crackly around her as she smiles maliciously. On her right is Jadesprite, who is crying. On the other side of the page is Jadebot, who is flying through the hair with her arms at her sides. Behind and above all of them is God Tier Jade, eyes closed trance-like, with her hood up and her ears poking through, with both arms extended beside her and her palms up. Floating above her are each of the beta kids’ planets and the battlefield.]
