scinerds: Earth’s Rotating Inner Core Shifts Its Speed Earth’s solid-metal inner core is a key component of the planet, helping to give rise to the magnetic field that protects us from harmful space radiation, but its remoteness from the planet’s surface means that there is much we don’t know about what goes on down there. But some secrets of the inner core are being revealed by acoustic waves passing through the planet’s heart and iron squeezed to enormous pressures in the lab. Two new studies, both detailed online May 12 in the journal Nature Geoscience, reveal that Earth’s inner core may actually be softer than previously thought, and that the speed at which it spins can fluctuate over time. Under the liquid-metal outer layer of the Earth’s core is a solid ball of superhot iron and nickel alloy about 760 miles (1,220 kilometers) in diameter. Scientists recently discovered the inner core is, at 10,800 degrees Fahrenheit (6,000 degrees Celsius), as hot as the surface of the sun. Churning in the liquid outer core results in the dynamo that generates Earth’s magnetic field. Geoscientists think interactions between the inner and outer cores may help explain the nature of the planet’s dynamo, the details of which remain largely unknown. “The Earth’s inner core is the most remote part of our planet, and so there is a lot we don’t know about it because we can’t go down and collect samples,” said Arianna Gleason, a geoscientist at Stanford University in California.  Full Article

One time I was with my family, I dropped my plate of food and I said ‘Goddamnit’ then my mom was like “you can’t say that” so I said “Fine. Satan bless it.” Everyone turned to look at me after I said. I forgot I was in church.

what were you doing with a plate of food in church

This is actually really great because Kanye West has fought depression and suicide this sort of confidence worked for him and wow Kanye West. Anyone who is depressed, believe you are the Kanye Best.

antichoicescreencaps: An anti-choicer doesn’t understand the meaning of pro-choice. Blogger’s commentary: If a friend of mine finds herself unexpectedly pregnant and doesn’t want an abortion, I’d help her decide if she wants to choose parenting or adoption for her child. I’d use this blog to ask for donations, help her find a job, get support from local pregnancy resources, get her ice cream, go with her to doctor’s appointments, look at adoptive parents with her, talk to her about birth control for the future, babysit her kid if she decides to keep it, listen to her, etc, etc. I’d be her friend. Pro-choicers don’t push abortion. We push the right choice for mothers, whether it be abortion, parenting, or adoption.

look who’s finally joined!

look who got pushed to the side

Why are all of the women of color in the back?

AND WHY 

WHY

WHY

Do they always show Mulan in the outfit that made her so uncomfortable?

She didn’t like it!!! 

AND YET EVERY TIME, SHE’S IN IT. NOT HER ARMOR. 

AT LEAST LET HER WEAR WHAT SHE WORE WHEN SHE SAVED CHINA. 

But you dony understand : spaaaarkleeeezzzzz.

No sparklzes = no girly, no princess.

I had 3h of sleep sorry.

I wish I had artistic talent. Because I want to put Mulan up front in her armor in her battle pose. I want to redesign Pocahontas to be less racist, I want to take Belle and put her in the dress she wore when she was singing about books, I want Rapunzel to have her short brown hair cut, and just…  ARGH. 

ARGH ARGH ARGH. 

I want to take all of the women and make them disabled and different sizes and in battle armor and yeah. 

When I finish my graded units at college (soon) I might try to do that, it can be fun to draw disney princesses, and also interesting. There’s already someone who drew them in accurate clothing though. Im on my phone but if you google it you should find it quite easily.

Yes, please do! And could I request Ariel with her tail? Because fuck changing yourself for a guy.

sportsworu:

i really do not care about what roseanne has done. i really don’t. the fact that she thinks women like me are men, are sexual predators, and defines us by our genitalia revokes any respect i would have had for her. she does not deserve respect, nor does any other transmisogynist.

Here are some awesome and empowering quotes from several very strong female celebrities. 

And Kristen Stewart.

No, you know what? Fuck you.

Let me tell you about Kristen Stewart.

Let’s talk about how she’s the centerpiece of one of the most inexplicably popular misogynistic pieces of film shit and somehow gets blamed for it sucking, despite the fact that, hey, the books were actually worse. For those who were lucky enough to escape reading the actual books, her apparent lack of emotion is 100% accurate to Bella’s character, because Bella is in fact not a character but a blank white wall for fourteen-year-old girls to project themselves onto. Robert Pattinson is not the only one in the cast who hates Twilight, thank you.

Let’s talk about how she got crucified in the media for having an affair with a married man, when that man was her director. And let’s remember that she was called all manner of things for “ruining her relationship with RPattz” when she wasn’t even engaged to the dude, let alone married with kids. But oh no, she gets called a slut because she’s Kristen Stewart, she gets her career fucked because she’s Kristen Stewart, and the dude gets off scott free.

Let’s talk about how she is incredibly shy and anxious (rather, incidentally, like Chris Evans) but does film anyway, because she’s just that awesome.

Fuck your noise. She’s not the best actor in the world but she sure as hell doesn’t deserve that kind of shit.

THANK YOU ^

jesus. roseanne “trans bathroom predator panic” barr is here and y’all pick on kristen stewart?

“it’s ok to be not ok” is like one of my FAVOURITE FUCKING QUOTES and the way folks treat k-stu SHOULD GIVE FEMINISTS PAUSE

Damn I think I reblogged something about that woman being transphobic a few months ago but I didn’t recognize her/forgot about her in that post.

And yeah Kristen’s quote is really great.
