Why were women of the present cut off from women of the past and how was this achieved? While we had been ready to believe the lessons of our own education and to accept that there was but a handful of women in the past who had protested against male power, that they were ‘eccentric’ at best, and more usually ‘neurotic’, ‘embittered’ and quite unrepresentative, then the absence of women's voices from history seemed understandable. But when it began to appear that there had been many women who had been saying in centuries past what we were saying in the 1970s, that they had been representative of their sex, and that they had disappeared, the problem assumed very different proportions.

For years I had not thought to challenge the received wisdom of my own history tutors who had — in the only fragment of knowledge about angry women I was ever endowed with — informed me that early in the twentieth century, a few unbalanced and foolish women had chained themselves to railings in the attempt to obtain the vote. When I learnt, however, that in 1911 there had been twenty-one regular feminist periodicals in Britain, that there was a feminist book shop, a woman's press, and a women's bank run by and for women, I could no longer accept that the reason I knew almost nothing about women of the past was because there were so few of them, and they had done so little. I began to acknowledge not only that the women's movement of the early twentieth century was bigger, stronger and more influential than I had ever suspected, but that it might not have been the only such movement. It was in this context that I began to wonder whether the disappearance of the women of the past was an accident.

thinking about how, as much as he thinks he's better than humans, the master's spent so much time with them after chasing the doctor around. he gets human references, he listens to human songs, watches human shows, and, even if it's for disguises, he lives as a human sometimes. honestly the doctor sometimes struggles with a lot of that

Harnessing electrical energy from the Earth - Nikola Tesla's amazing plan to harness free currents.

Imagine this - posted in 1896 and we're paying for electricity in 2024. Tesla is rolling over in his grave. Free energy has been suppressed because it would create freedom for all human beings. 🤔

Marcille didn’t use illegal magic to resurrect Falin bc she just loves Falin that much, she was able to resurrect Falin bc she already knew illegal magic bc she doesn’t respect elf cops.

im going Feral about how charles' mutation is always treated differently from everyone elses. charles (rightly) gets a lot of flack for only taking in the pretty mutants, but i think thats bcus he knows how isolating it is to have a power that is considered inherently a violation of consent. unless charles is 100% 24/7 a paragon of self control, hes GOING to hear your thoughts. asking him to stay out of your head is like asking him not to look at you, its just one of his senses like any other. and i think also thats why he snowballs so easily into huge violating acts like memory wipes and segmentation of identity - if everyone reviles him anyway for his natural, unconscious sensing of surface thoughts, feelings, vibes, traumas, etc etc, then why not do the huge messed up stuff they will also hate him for? he has to keep everything he knows about everyone a secret anyway, so as not to damage their sensibilities, whats one more horrendous secret? one more violation? and erik, of all people, who tells mystique not to cover up, who tells beast to be blue, tells charles "get out of my head".

I think the red hair pirates would be obsessed with S-Hawk too! Especially the main group who've known Mihawk through his teenage marine hunting phase.

Benn would know they are walking on thin ice but look at him! He’s a little baby Mihawk! Look at his little uniform shirt tucked into his little shorts. Every angry and threatening expression s-hawk could make would mean nothing to a crew that has seen the real thing live and in color. It would just be adorable like look at his little frown! His glare! The threat of disembodiment in his eyes! Adorable

Mihawk is very uncomfortable with how much the red hair pirates fawn over and adore what is essentially a manufactured baby him. But yet also somehow touched? By it. He’ll kill everyone and then himself before he admits it tho

Yasopp, who actually did know a shorter 19 year old Mihawk, would ask him if he was that adorable but tiny (still can't comprehend that the seraphim are infact giant) as a child and if he had any pictures, and Mihawk almost takes his head.

Fire suppression p.1 & p.2: “Flame Retardant” & “Building Potential” Inspired by the PEM's ‘Our Time on Earth’ exhibit

I was gladly surprised to see the exhibit’s various optimistic installations, especially the building materials of the future. As a forestry student I am beginning to understand our relationship to our forests differently. In the US, forest policy which aimed to suppress wildfires has contributed to a century-long build up of fuel that would otherwise have been cleared by controlled burns or small spontaneous ground fires. Indigenous peoples shaped the forests of the Americas to require these controlled burns. More and more I realize that indigenous knowledge and collaboration is a necessary part of the stewardship of future. A concept which is present at large at the museum but also specifically within Our Time on Earth. Getting a ‘sustainable’ amount of lumber from our forest still disregards the health and purpose of these trees to a diverse and complex ecosystem. It is essential that we diversify our building material, to include carbon-negative things like mycelium! Natural resources that are close by, and at hand in our local environment, which doesn’t require chopping down a tree 3000 miles away and transporting it to the US. We need local resources whose collective cultivation lead to a sense of community and collaboration. A better future!

My thanks to lane.m.artin for collaborating with me for p.2!

I've always had this weird shyness around admitting I'd like to learn to make music. I don't know why. I was raised in a very pro-artist family. I think it's a fear of failure if I'm just not very good at it, which heightens once you're vulnerable about something and now everyone knows you like it and makes it more humiliating. I think it's also because I had a parent that blew money they didn't really have on home studios and instruments and always fancied themselves a bit of a wannabe musician with no actual drive, so I subconsciously internalised the criticism that got.

anyway I'm saying this because fun community events like tmbptmbg, spending a day listening to and discussing the music of artists with such a creative, eclectic output get me inspired and motivated. or hell, just reading about the band's process in general in articles and interviews gets me like this.

No surprise but interesting 🤨

Could fireplaces in ancient buildings have been part of a hidden energy system? Many theories suggest they weren’t just for heat, but actually used conductive metals and architectural design to tap into free energy. Is this a lost technology that was suppressed? 🤯

DOATK-TOBER DAY 28 - THE SUPERGONERS SUPPRESSION OF KNOWLEDGE

[dollarsigns-angels]

honestly wild to me how much of life you can go through completely ignorant of the people around you. i only began to learn of certain things because i needed to research them for TCT, and in doing so i followed certain blogs and began to learn how much of just. normal language is shaped by ignorance.

Magic runs in sakura's family even though she was obviously not aware of this at first and found out about her own magic by accident when she found clows book. However her magic still affected her before this, she just didn't know. She has the ability to see ghosts, but she was so scared of them that she subconsciously repressed this ability , although she can still sense them. Which really only serves to make her more scared of them because now she Knows they're there but can't see them

The thing about armchair diagnosing cis people as trans is that if you accept that everyone's understanding of gender is deeply personal and that you shouldn't tell someone they're not trans or not trans in the right way, you should also accept that you can't tell someone they are trans or that they're not cis in the right way. Or that they have to either identify as trans or cis.

These are all just words and there's never any excuse to argue with someone over who they are.

I don't think most people are genuinely trying to overrule the 'cis in a gnc way' perspective but even being flippant about it is not helpful. Also I think cis people talking about gender in complex and fun ways is very cool.
