  • Etti-Question

    Sooo, apparently, here it’s common to say “thank you” after an interview in an e-mail. This, in the UK, would be considered atrociously pushy. Anyhow, that has thrown my expectations for a loop.

    So, oh great Tumblr, I got invited for an interview, and prior to the interview they’ve asked for a written piece of work, which I’ve just submitted (by e-mail, to one of the interviewing team).

    Now I have an e-mail from them saying “Thank you” and “Just to let you know we got it” and “Look forward to seeing you”.

    …does that need a reply?

    This genre-spanning thriller about human cloning is so committed to its out-there premise that it employs a science advisor to keep its fringe genetics on the up and up. Like all great science fiction, the BBC America show spins out from an all-too-real premise: the commodification of women’s bodies by those in power. But Orphan Black’s true secret weapon is virtuoso actor Tatiana Maslany, who’s slipped into the skin of 11 different characters and counting, from a cockney con artist to a tightly wound soccer mom to a fanatical serial killer. A show that could get bogged down in its million conspiracies remains compulsively engaging thanks to whip-smart dialogue and that mesmerizing central performance. JS

    Stuff like this makes me thank all the gods there are that I don’t date men

    Gah dammit Notch I trusted you

    We just don’t understand how hard it is being a sucessful white straight cis man apparently

    wait THAT’s who that was!? FUCK

    I used to think notch was cool and someone worth aspiring to be like. But then he made more money than god and wound up with nothing but free time to show the internet how much of a fucktruck he really is.

    This post misses out on his “counter” term to mansplaining as well.

    So if you see the hashtag “#cuntfusing”, that’s what it’s about. Because “mansplaining” is a “derogatory term toward [his] gender”, so he had to make up his own considerably-more-derogatory term.

    Fuck Notch forever, basically.

    I know I run a book blog so maybe this isn’t the right platform for this, but girls: Please look out for other girls. Tonight I was stuck at a bus stop in Shoreditch circa 2 AM and saw another young woman getting harassed by a drunk, aggressive dude, and at first I thought, “She’s got it under control.” But then he started touching her and I went “No, that’s definitely not right.” So I barged over and shoved him out of the way and said, “Beth?? Oh my God, how are you, I haven’t seen you since grade school!” And this girl I’d never seen before in my life threw her arms around my neck and whispered, “You are an angel, thank God.” We talked for fifteen minutes, the creep lost interest, I watched her get on the bus and I will sleep so much better knowing she got home in one piece. If you see something weird happening, intervene. The worst that can happen is embarrassment, and I think that’s worth the risk when you consider the alternative.

    Every platform is the right platform for this.

    And yet people don’t think retail workers should get a living wage. I’ve literally gotten a five cent raise myself.

    Nichelle Nichols “Lt. Uhura” flies aboard SOFIA

    Nichelle Nichols recently flew on board NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA, the world’s largest airborne observatory. Ms. Nichols has been collaborating with NASA for years, actively recruiting into the astronaut corps and into STEM careers. In the 1980s, she flew on SOFIA’s predecessor, the Kuiper Airborne Observatory.

    During her flight, Ms. Nichols recorded this short message highlighting the important research NASA is doing to further humankind’s exploration of the solar system and beyond. Learn more by visiting: www.nasa.gov/solarsystem/

    ——-

    “Hi, I”m Nichelle Nichols, I played Lieutenant Uhura – Chief Communications Officer aboard the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek The Original Series. Today I’m aboard SOFIA, a NASA aircraft flying into a stratosphere with an infrared telescope to observe light coming from interstellar objects. SOFIA helps astronomers learn more about the birth of stars, formations of planetary systems, black holes and more.. 

    SOFIA  reminds of the starship Enterprise – it goes ‘Where no man or woman has ever gone before’

    Live long and prosper”
