Wollstonecraft

A Kickstarter project to create a pro-math, pro-science, pro-literature adventure novel that is for and about girls. It chronicles the detective agency of 11 year-old Ada (the world’s first computer programmer) and her friend Mary (the world’s first sci-fi author). They use their brains and their education to solve problems, just like real women do.

As the creator says, “If Jane Austen wrote about zeppelins and brass goggles, this would be the book.”

This is a project we can all get behind. Check it out, and support it!

The National Vaccine “Information” Center (NVIC) is running a misleading and dangerous anti-vaccine ad on the ABC screen in TImes Square that could be seen by millions during televised NYE celebrations.

Help get this ad pulled. I encourage you to sign the petition. 

UGGGHHHHHHHHH

Hey Kids! Measles are Marvelous!

At least that’s what a new anti-vaccination children’s book would have you believe. Outright lying wasn’t enough for the anti-vaccination movement. Deceiving parents just wouldn’t do it. Now they are aiming square at the kids.

From the book’s description:

This book takes children aged 4 – 10 years on a journey of discovering about the ineffectiveness of vaccinations, while teaching them to embrace childhood disease, heal if they get a disease, and build their immune systems naturally.

“… build their immune systems naturally”? Do you know WHY we developed vaccines for measles? Because measles is not marvelous (just look at the symptoms).

Just like this book, it can be deadly.

Cant’ make this stuff up. Head -> desk.

really?!

These are the patterns of planets orbiting around each other. It’s as though they’re eternally dancing around each other. Each step, pattern, movement makes a beautiful shape unique to their relationship. It’s so… glorious.

It also hurts my eyes if I stare at it for too long.
