by the way the funniest thing ive read all week is this post on reddit i think where somebody asked for the pros and cons of different stem majors and so this one girl responded and she said she was a software engineer i believe and then she said “ok pro #1. i never have to wait in line for the bathroom ever again. there are more female restrooms in this building than there are women”
pro #2: growing up i was surrounded by so many saras. just. saras everywhere. which sara do you want? but now, as a software engineer, I am the only sara. the eleven marks weep in jealousy.
the marks smdjdjdjdjd YEAH when i took my first compsci class the lab section had twice as many nicks than there were women
someone was complaining to me about how there are too many ryans on the team, and i said “you wanna know how to fix that? hire more women” and the only other woman sitting nearby spat out her coffee
The Society of Women In Physics at my university had a whole campaign with the tagline “More Daves than Women” which was factually true in the physics department
Since there’s no links, here’s an article from USA Today with footage, and here’s a CNN follow-up from a day later stating that the officer retired before disciplinary action could be taken.
When customers walked into Edeka supermarket in Hamburg recently, they were surprised to find that the shelves were almost empty, and the small handful of products that remained were all made in Germany. It seemed like the supermarket had simply forgotten to restock their produce until customers saw the mysterious signs left around the shop. “So empty is a shelf without foreigners,” read one sign at the cheese counter. “This shelf is quite boring without variety,” read another.
It turns out that Edeka, in a rather controversial move, had opted to solely sell German food for a day in order to make a powerful statement about racism and ethnic diversity. As a result, there were no Greek olives, no Spanish tomatoes, and very little of anything else that can normally be found in a typical modern household. “Edeka stands for diversity, and we produce a wide range of food in our assortment, which is produced in the different regions of Germany,” said an Edeka spokesman. “But it is together with products from other countries that we create the unique diversity that our customers value.” (Source)
do this in America and nothing will remain
A very powerful statement about how cultural diversity has added to our lives!
Fic authors, ever wanted to hold your story in your hand like a published book? Well, I did some digging and I found a way to! The company just prints a single book, no editing, no marketing, no putting it on any official published book lists, so there’s no copyright issues here. It’s not publishing. It’s just printing like an actual book. Pretty cheap too, as far as I was able to see! So yeah! Go hold your fic in your hand as an actual book! I plan on doing it!
Nice!
I HAVE WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS IM GONNA PRINT SO MANY FAN FICS FOR MYSELF
O_O
Oh.
Oh no.
I was LITERALLY just coming to Tumblr to make a post and show my newly bound published fic-book! I used Lulu.com – it was less than $7!!
