You want to slow the spread of AIDS? Educate a girl. You want to slow population growth? Educate a girl. You want to grow the global economy? Educate a girl. So, what exactly changes when the 600,000 girls in the developing world get a good education?
Everything.
Some stirring statistics in this trailer for Girl Rising, a moving documentary about the impact of educating girls worldwide.
At a time when even in the “developed” world the gender gap in academia gapeswide, what could be more important? Even Einstein knew that.
Help support the project with a donation– for the cost of an average New York City dinner, for instance, you can cover the school feels for one girl for an entire year.

Wow. I’m sure you’ve all seen this girl’s fantastic tardis dress floating around here the last week or so. She hand painted the inside and everything, and she just looks plain great. But of course, I see it posted on facebook, and the slew of comments begin.
I don’t think it’s a mystery as to why I, as a bigger girl, spend the week before a convention crying because I’m so nervous about what people are going to say about me just because I want to dress up and have fun like everyone else. And there is something really, really fucking wrong with that.
This girl is as beautiful as she is clever! If we on Tumblr are only good for one thing, it’s turning situations like this around! Let’s signal boost this and get it back to her so she knows how much we love it! ALLONZ-Y
Some need a reality check preferably with a baseball bat THIS FUCKING AWESOME and she is gorgeous.
Another reason why tumblr is a better place than Facebook..
1.) Wait, the console on that dress was hand painted? Holy shit. I’ve reblogged the original like 3 times and never noticed that. Pure talent. Jesus.
2.) The Doctor AND Jack Harkness And probably Donna… maybe Rose… Come to think of it, even Martha are going to come for you an they’re going to kick each and every one of your asses clear across the bloody fucking cosmos. How DARE you.
I love to dress up and both times I went to comic con I was so afraid to dress up as anyone because I didn’t want people saying, ” Oh look, a fat version of (blank)”. Because of this I specifically dressed up both times as characters who are plus size in the canon. So I limited myself from dressing up as some of my favorite characters because I was so afraid of people shaming me. Fuck everyone.

Some of the questions are really stupid and most are incredibly easy but I guess it was worth the 30 seconds I spent answer it? But, it’s just another example of the show glamourizing and simplifying the job of a forensic anthropologist.
I wish becoming an anthropologist was this easy. Screw a BA, masters degree, and writing that silly thesis. Where’s my bones test?!
This is how FOX is consulting for anthropological accuracy.

UTERINE MADNESS,: julianmorrison: shameandcupcakes: Penis is a male organ. Learn...:
Penis is a male organ. Learn biology. Male and female are biological realities.
You can call yourself a “woman” but you cannot call yourself “female” if you have normally functioning XY chromosomes.
Penis is not a female organ.
Male and female…

caterinasforzas: what to wear when…she’s too much, they say....
what to wear when…she’s too much, they say. she eats too much, drinks too much, sleeps too much, fucks too much. she delights in her body too much, sequins on her eyes and hands between her thighs. she avenges too viciously and loves too unconditionally. she enjoys life too shamelessly, brimming with sin, picking strips of succulent meat from her teeth with her long, red fingernails. she aims too high, invites worship too freely, laughs too raucously. her hunger is too voracious, too brazen, too unbound by social graces and gendered limits. she demands too much from this life and makes too much happen. she takes up too much space with her rolling curves and unspanxed flesh. they call her gluttonous, they call her evil, and she says yes! and licks her fingers clean with a slurp and a wink.
