It’s okay to grieve for lost potential.

It’s okay to grieve for time spent surviving instead of living.

It’s okay to wish you could go back and change the past.

And it’s okay if you don’t feel up to it yet, but one day you’ll be able to stand up and decide to create a new future to make up for it. 💞

Consistency is key

This is Money Marge. Reblog for a miracle of finances to come to you

"Don't take it personally" How would you like me to take it then? Professionally? Romantically? Academically?

I will reblog this every time.

Literally this.

Getting dirty, asking questions, being unapologetically enthusiastic about things, going overboard on projects. These are a few of my favorite things.

This is so heartbreaking, but so true. 

And it’s even more heartbreaking when you see the transition and how performative it is.

I was a camp counselor at a science/nature camp when I was 16, for a bunch of 10 and 11 yr old girls. And one day while we were waiting around for the naturalist to come get us to go on the day’s hike, the boys cabin we were grouped with was exploring the area and overturned a log and found a salamander. One of the boys picked it up and they brought it over.

My girls all went “ewww, gross, keep it away!”

…right up until I said “whoa, cool, can I see it?”

This boy handed me the salamander and all of a sudden my girls were clustering around. They wanted to hold it. They were asking questions about it. They had stories of other times they’d seen a lizard or caught a frog or something. A couple of them went with some of the boys to look under another log and see if they could find another one.

All they had needed was permission to be curious, to show interest instead of disgust. And as soon as someone they were looking to for cues on “how to be a girl” showed interest, as soon as they didn’t feel like they had to perform socially-acceptable girliness and pretend to be grossed out in order to gain adult approval, all that natural curiosity and the fascination most kids have for the natural world just came bubbling right up.

As a female engineer, I have to reblog this.

For everyone who thinks Steve is a square (he is NOT)

Thor, Tarzan, and the Himbo Problem

We have a himbo problem. The problem is not that we have too many himbos - you can never have enough himbos - or with himbos themselves. The problem is with the definition, and why it leads to “debated” himbos such as Thor and Disney’s Tarzan.

We are all familiar with the three requirements for himbo-dom:

But have we considered why this particular combination is so attractive? It’s obvious why 1 and 3 are appealing to women, but what’s so great about a guy who’s dumb? And just how dumb does a man have to be to qualify, anyway? Is Thor sufficiently dumb to be a himbo? Are we judging on a scale that includes same-universe geniuses like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner? Goofballs like Scott Lang? Or simply against average men one might meet (and avoid) on the street?

All interesting questions, but the wrong ones to be asking.

I contend that a himbo’s attractiveness does not come from being dumb but from being non-threatening, non-toxic, and generally avoiding the kind of hyper masculinity that has too long been held up by mass media as something women should swoon for. And what’s one of the easiest ways to make a guy non-threatening? Make him dumb as a box of rocks.

A man who’s stupid (usually) isn’t going to manipulate and gaslight you. He won’t mansplain or condescend. He won’t feel threatened when you score a promotion or get that diploma. No wonder dumb is so attractive!

The thing is, of course, a man can be smart and also not do those things, but that doesn’t fit with Hollywood masculinity. That’s why it’s easier to find a himbo who respects women than an “average” or smart man in the media, and the himbo, by definition, will also be hot. No wonder women prefer them.

I propose an alternate himbo definition:

With this definition, there is no question whether or not Thor, Tarzan, Kronk, George, or any other himbos fit. We no longer need to decide whether or not Thor’s IQ is sufficiently low for us to objectify him or spend long essays describing just how smart he really is (for the record, he is definitely very smart). We only need to know that we would feel comfortable locked in a room with him or telling him that we just became Queen of Asgard and he would be nothing but happy for us.

Note: Why are 2 and 3 not the same? Because a man can respect women but still be very threatening. Think, for example, of….. okay, at press time neither I nor the Seamista discord server I asked could think of a hot, non-misogynistic male villain, but there’s probably one out there somewhere. Get on that, Hollywood.

In conclusion, Thor is exactly as much of a himbo as you want him to be. ❤

ETA: Now with follow up discussion about himbos vs bimbos.

Huh.

lesser movies than mamma mia (2008) would've made the central conflict be between the three dads and stoked endless competition and jealousy between them, fighting about who gets to be sophie's "real dad" and who has (and had) a "right" to pursue donna but mamma mia is no such movie. mamma mia is a cinematic masterpiece and as such they are pals throughout, happily go along with all the shenanigans and spend loads of quality time together throughout the film. they are just vibing! and then all three of them become the dads no questions asked. no drama! only vibing in greece

Do you think this type of content brings physical pain to antivaxxers?

As a chemist this is instant serotonin

Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.

BURN BAGEL BURN

OH WHY NOT?

I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.

Bagel what are your powers

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD

I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD

The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!

Sure why not

Agreed

Y'know, why not?

Oh God I hope this is not a hoax. EDIT: Fucking weird!! An hour after I did this I got a response back on some work I’d quoted on but never thought would happen. And the guy apologised for not replying sooner!! Fuck the bagel worked :-)

Come on fire bagel, do your thing!

…It’s worth a try, fire bagel. Please don’t fail me, I could use some good news.

AIGHT LET US TEST THE MIGHTY BAGELS

EDIT: YO THIS ACTUALLY WORKED (it’s probably a coincidence BUT STILL) I’m preparing a musical audition and FINALLY, (IT’S NEVER WORKED, EVER) FINALLY HIT THE NOTE LIKE HOLY FRICK AAHHHH

i’m sorry it’s not even for the luck i just love bagels and fire
