4 Facts you should know on women in science.

The February 11th, International Day of Women and Girls in Peace 2024 is an opportunity to promote full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls. Gender equality is a global priority for UNESCO, and the support of young girls, their education and their full ability to make their ideas heard are levers for development and peace.

Justin Horowitz at MMFA:

Project 2025 advisory board members have attacked or outright called for the end of no-fault divorce, the option to dissolve a marriage without having to prove wrongdoing by a partner. Research highlighted by CNN found “no-fault divorce correlates with a reduction in female suicides and a reduction in intimate partner violence,” including “an 8 to 16% decrease in female suicides after states enacted no-fault divorce laws.” Project 2025 is backed by a nearly-900 page policy book called Mandate for Leadership, which extensively outlines potential approaches to governance for the next Republican administration, including replacing federal employees with extremists and Trump loyalists and attacking LGBTQ rights, abortion, and contraception. The Heritage Foundation’s proposals have a track record of success — the first Trump administration implemented 64% of Mandate’s policy recommendations. Project 2025 is also supported by a coalition of over 100 conservative organizations, many of which have spent years promoting critiques of no-fault divorce as “destructive” for society — or even blaming it for enabling a “culture of death.” According to a Media Matters review, at least 22 Project 2025 advisory board members have made similar comments targeting, restricting, or eliminating no-fault divorce. Additionally, MAGA and far-right media figures have pushed for the removal of no-fault divorce laws across the country, and several local Republican parties in Texas, Nebraska, and Louisiana have called for the dissolution of no-fault divorce in some capacity.

Project 2025 partner organizations, including the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, Family Research Council, and The Heritage Foundation, have called for significant restrictions or an outright ban on no-fault divorce.

I don’t know how many times I’m going to see “oh The Acolyte should continue because we want to see Qimir.” First things first, no it cannot continue. I don’t understand why people are not getting that the Acolyte is about Osha. We all saw what happened in the last episode. This is HERStory!!!

I get it. Qimir is a very popular character. I’m proud that Manny really embodied that role. However, what we are not going to do is erase Amandla’s efforts of playing Osha and Mae. I’m so sick of people trying to ignore her efforts. Y’all are basically enabling black women erasure. I do not find this okay at all.

Manny said he could not have done this without Amandla. I wish people would understand that. If they ever try to bring back Qimir in any way, then I’m not watching if Amandla is not present (or any of the cast and crew which includes Manny and Leslye). Because what we are not going to do is erase Amandla from her own show. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

how i love being a woman ♥︎

"Goddess of Beltane, Sacred Mother, Queen of May, Wild Lady of the Woods, Guardian of Love and Life, welcome to our circle. We women, powerful and sacred, declare upon this Hallowed Night, our heavenly bodies belong solely to us. We shall choose whom to love, and with whom to share trust. We shall walk upon this earth with grace and respect. We'll always take pride in our great intellect. We'll honor our emotions so our spirits may soar! And should any man belittle us, we'll show him the door! Our spirits are unbreakable, our imaginations free! Walk with us, Goddess, so blessed are we!" — by the young women of Avonlea

happy international women’s day

Meet the Nigerian women spearheading solar projects

32-year-old green energy entrepreneur Yetunde Fadeyi will never forget what inspired her to start a clean energy company in Nigeria.

As a six-year-old, Fadeyi’s best friend, Fatima, was killed by carbon monoxide poisoning in her Lagos home, along with her father and pregnant mother.

“She often came over for sleepovers. But that day she didn’t,” says Fadeyi. “It was the time that they were stealing people’s generators, so they kept [the generator] in an enclosed area and by the time it was morning they were dead.”

After a childhood in Lagos plagued by intermittent electricity, a degree in chemistry and training in solar panel installation, Fadeyi started Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability (REES). The non-profit is dedicated to climate advocacy and providing clean energy to poor communities in rural Nigeria.

Bringing solar energy to Nigeria’s poorest homes

Since its inception in 2017, REES Africa has provided solar energy to over 6,000 people in the poorest parts of Nigeria, funded by grants and philanthropic donations.

It supplies solar microgrids, which generate energy through solar panels and store them in battery banks for distribution. The small grids bring high quality, cheap and constant power to up to 100 homes each, powering light bulbs, radios, sockets and other low energy appliances.

Fadeyi says that energy companies don’t see any potential for profit in poor and marginalised communities. With around 40 per cent of Nigerians living below the national poverty line, it’s up to companies like Fadeyi’s to fill the gap for now.

Professor Yinka Omoregbe is hoping to bridge this energy gap as CEO of Etin Power, providing energy to offgrid communities using mini solar grids. She brings a wealth of experience to the role as a former national advisor on the reform of Nigeria’s petroleum sector and a former state attorney general.

In its first year, Etin Power provided electricity to over 5,200 people in three neglected coastal communities in Edo State, southern Nigeria. While the results so far are small, Omoregbe’s ambitions are far bigger.

We will have proven that it is possible to profitably give green energy to vulnerable communities.”

In the Renewable Energy sector, women represent only 32% of the workforce.

Let's increase awareness of the role of women in decentralized renewable energy and explore ways to increase their involvement in the industry, and considered ways to tailor technological innovation in support of broadening women’s access to renewable energy.

I’m so excited to share my Steven Universe OC Scylla! She was a corrupted Ocean Obsidian fusion and during the years she was corrupted she inspired the myth of Scylla. Over the years the name grew on her. During the events of Future after being healed from her corruption due to her size she spends most of her time in the ocean meditating.

Ya’ll ever notice how most of the best tv shows that are cancelled before their time are disproportionately directed and/or lead by women 😬 and even when it’s not, it’s usually queer media.

What a funny funny funny funny funny funny coincidence
