i have another bomb to throw, girls who hated pink and femininity in childhood were not experiencing internalized misogyny; it was a rejection of the conditioning pushed on us from birth which we never felt passion for and grew resentful towards because of adults’ insistence on us following the rules of being a girl. when you hit middle-high school and get more say in how you look it feels fucking incredible to reject and be openly hostile to the things you were forced to embrace your whole life. you people just don’t know what internalized misogyny is and tumblr choice feminism lied to you
my mom didn’t raise a quitter. she raised a perfectionist who’s so afraid of failing they don’t start anything to begin with
We’ll never die
genuinely amazes me how schools can spend so much time teaching science without helping students develop an ounce of scientific literacy
like honestly? most of us won't need to know how mitochondria work in our day-to-day life. we won't need to draw electron configurations or calculate the apex of a trajectory. we WILL need to know how to read a graph, how a vaccine works, how scientific studies and drug trials are conducted, how to find trustworthy sources.
of course you pick these things up if you're interested in/exposed to enough science, but i wish they would be explicitly taught in intro science courses instead of those trivia-esque science facts that don't teach people anything about how to interact with science in their daily lives. how can we expect to counter the rampant scientific misinformation on the internet if science classes don't cover the stuff most of us will encounter in the real world?
We are losing touch with reality.
It’s easy to reject science. It tells us things we don’t always want to hear. It often feels distant and cold, full of jargon and concepts that seem too complicated to matter. It’s easier to believe something that feels simple, something that fits our existing views, something that doesn’t challenge the way we already see the world.
But science isn’t the enemy. It’s a light in the dark.
Imagine standing at the edge of a vast ocean. You know the waves are real because you see them. You can feel the wind, hear the rush of water. But someone tells you it’s all a trick, that the ocean doesn’t exist. If you believe them, for a while, you might feel safe from the uncertainty of what lies beneath the surface. But the truth of the ocean remains. Denying it doesn’t stop the waves from coming.
Science works the same way. It helps us understand the unseen—things too big or too small for us to grasp on our own. Like gravity keeping us grounded, like germs making us sick, like the climate changing around us. Science shows us these realities, even when we’re afraid to face them.
Denial is tempting because it feels easier than confronting the unknown. But denying science leaves us adrift in a sea of misinformation. Only when we open our minds to what science reveals can we start to find solid ground again.
The beauty of science is that it’s not there to control us. It’s there to help us. To protect us. To give us a way forward, even when the answers are hard to hear.
Facing facts doesn’t have to take away wonder. It can lead to something greater. By embracing what science tells us, we open the door to awe, to a deeper understanding of the world, and to our place within it.
The truth is out there, waiting for us to see.
