Series 1 rupaul: Having a bit of trouble?? Try your best. You’re talented and I know you have what it takes to put together something special :). Namaste.

Series 10 rupaul: Hello FUCKER…going to disappoint me again? Is this ALL YOU’VE DONE?!!? This is pure shit. Make me laugh…MAKE ME LAUGH.

That’s “career over” Ru vs. “Primetime Emmy walk of Fame Star” Ru

Guess some people show there true face in success not defeat

ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”

more cis feminists should have this mindset

one of the first examples that she uses to introduce her point about how perception by others can shape a person’s performance actually uses a trans woman. it explains that as a certain trans woman became to be seen as a woman more and more frequently, the ppl arond her eventually started viewing her as being ill equipped for tasks that they did not bother her about pre-transition. eventually she even found herself underperforming in these tasks herself.

whats the name of the book

Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine

Here’s a pdf, babes ❤

I knew it was this book before I’d finished reading the first two lines. Honestly this book is indispensible if you want to debunk any gender determinism people claim is science. I can’t recommend it enough.

She’s written a new one! It won the Royal Society prize for science book of the year, and it’s called Testosterone Rex, and it is excellent.

(Bonus: it’s making old white men really really mad.)

(Bonus bonus: I am myself a neuroscientist, and the old white men mentioned above – who are not – could not have missed the point harder if they’d actively tried. Which. Maybe?)

reblog because both books are very good.

TIL: A Harvard professor experimented on 22 unwitting students, assaulting their belief systems to see what damage could be caused. One of them became the Unabomber.

via ift.tt

The way this went was: each student was asked to write an essay describing their “personal philosophy”, essentially their worldview. These essays were then given to experienced prosecution attorneys and FBI interrogators. The students were placed in a room with these people, without being told who they were, and instructed to have a conversation about their essay. Except the task given to the lawyers and interrogators was to take the student’s “personal philosophy” apart piece by meticulous piece.

This experiment was part of MK Ultra and was an exercise in destroying personalities. They were testing out and refining methods of breaking spies on unwitting college students.

Ted Kaczynski was 17 when he was subjected to this experiment. His code name in the documentation? “Lawful”

“[I]t is actually more expensive to be poor than not poor. If you can’t afford the first month’s rent and security deposit you need in order to rent an apartment, you may get stuck in an overpriced residential motel. If you don’t have a kitchen or even a refrigerator and microwave, you will find yourself falling back on convenience store food, which — in addition to its nutritional deficits — is also alarmingly overpriced. If you need a loan, as most poor people eventually do, you will end up paying an interest rate many times more than what a more affluent borrower would be charged. To be poor — especially with children to support and care for — is a perpetual high-wire act.”

“Poverty charges interest ” holy hell. Ive never read$heard someone put it that way before. But its so friggen true.
