PREACH!
Give this a 100,000 notes please. This needs to be all over the internet.
THIS! Conservatives want to pretend that academia is made up of liberal elites instead of admitting that education and factual knowledge fly directly in the face of their ignorant, ridiculous views.
I’m surprised it took this long for someone to say this tbh
every tweet made my heart grow bigger

TIME MAGAZINE’S PERSON OF THE YEAR 2017: THE SILENCE BREAKERS
Time has announced that their choice for 2017′s Person Of The Year is The Silence Breakers - a collective term for all the people who spoke about sexual harassment this year, creating a culture that aims to encourage victims to speak up, free of shame, and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions, regardless of their power.
Better still, though the piece itself is diverse in its portrayal of victims of different gender identities, and races, and of different socio-economic statuses, the article pays ode to the gendered notion of sexual harassment - in that women are disproportionately victims of sexual harassment at the hands of men - by being conceived, reported, and written entirely by women. From fact-checking, to video-editing, to designing the layout and photo spread, everything about this article was created by women.

to keep in mind
waking up w less than 5 hours sleep:
- stage one: this is not bad
- stage two: what a refreshing morning, i feel a little tired but otherwise quite peachy. why am i not living life like this every day? why am i not taking advantage of every hour available to me and wasting precious amounts of it on meagre sleep?
- stage three: feeling a bit nauseous now
- stage four: i'm not really sure why i'm crying
- stage five: who the fuck enjoys being awake? why has god forsaken me and cast me out into to this blighted land of the woken? when will i return to my slumber dungeon and-
“When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. ‘This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar,’ she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. ‘My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.’ It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions? How often had I sped past them as I learned of male achievement and men’s place in the history books? Then I read Rosalind Miles’s book ‘The Women’s History of the World’ (recently republished as ‘Who Cooked the Last Supper?’) and I knew I needed to look again. History is full of fabulous females who have been systematically ignored, forgotten or simply written out of the records. They’re not all saints, they’re not all geniuses, but they do deserve remembering.”
