Something to think about:
The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Let’s scale that to 46 years. We have been here for 4 hours. Our industrial revolution began 1 minute ago. In that time, we have destroyed more than 50% of the world’s forests.

[[MORE]]I often read feminist articles online, and sometimes just think about it as I go about my daily business, but it’s rarely a personal experience thing. I suppose technically today it wasn’t either, but it was close enough that I was and am super bothered by it. A friend/teammate of mine has an insane amount of game. Last week, we got out of the car and a dude walking by just...

Oh, and RE: that casual sci-fi show (Defiance)
aldora89:
it passes the Bechdel test and has lots of great female characters
(the gender ratio might be close to equal now that I think about it)
like a sweet, proud, tough sex worker who takes a lover outside her job and no one cares

How far the show went out of its way to...”
