Hi, fetus, I am your parent
fracturedrefuge:
Note: This was written in reaction to the “Mommy, I am your baby” post that is currently circulating around Tumblr. Thought it was about time we hear from the person who is actually self-aware and not just the clump of cells residing inside of them.
Hi, Fetus,
My name is Bria and I am the person whose uterus you are currently residing in. I am 28 years old and I actually...
Do you ever get tired of slut-shaming?
wanderlustandfeverdreams:
Do you ever look at what you decide to reblog and think, why am I so upset that some people enjoy sex without romantic feelings? Do you ever wonder if you’re being rational when you dismiss the worth of so many women, simply because they enjoy sex?

The Fraying of a Nation's Decency →
It doesn’t feel like one nation when a company like Amazon, with such resources to its name, treats vulnerable people so badly just because it can. Or when members of a presidential debate audience cheer for a hypothetical 30-year-old man to die because he lacks health insurance. Or when schoolteachers in Chicago cling to their union perks and resist an effort to lengthen the hours of...

Physicists wary of junking light speed limit yet →

Associated Press
GENEVA — Physicists on the team that measured particles traveling faster than light said Friday they were as surprised as their skeptics about the results, which appear to violate the laws of nature as we know them.
Hundreds of scientists packed an auditorium at one of the world’s foremost laboratories on the Swiss-French border to hear how a subatomic...

True Texas Story
vruz:
teramerapyar sez:
This girl was telling me how frightened she was because she saw ‘Muslim’ graffiti and she was wondering if she should call the FBI or Homeland Security. She showed it to me. It was the word ‘peace’ in Arabic. This happened about 4pm and I’ve been laughing to myself ever since, even though it’s actually quite appalling.

An Open Letter to America’s Christian Zionists →
As you know, this belief is one form of what goes by the name “Zionism.” When it is religiously motivated, it is an especially powerful belief, because Israel’s “title” to every square inch of the land is believed to be granted by God in the Bible. We were told in Israel that the number of religious Jewish Zionists in Israel is today growing appreciably, and that many are to be found in the...

Speed-of-light experiments yield baffling result...
keplereleven:
Puzzling results from Cern, home of the LHC, have confounded physicists - because it appears subatomic particles have exceeded the speed of light.
Neutrinos sent through the ground from Cern toward the Gran Sasso laboratory 732km away seemed to show up a tiny fraction of a second early.
Caught speeding?
The speed of light is the Universe’s ultimate speed limit, and much of...

“The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.”
– Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson (via apphysicsblog)
Beautifully said. Science is the study of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment; it is how it is, whether or not you choose to believe it.
