If we can’t write diversity into sci-fi, then what’s the point? You don’t create new worlds to give them all the same limits of the old ones.

Jane Espenson (from interview with Advocate.com)\

I dunno how many which ways this needs to be said

here is something i wish i was fucking taught in a history lesson: during the first wave of the battle of stalingrad, the city was almost exclusively defended by members of the 1077th anti-aircraft regiment of the soviet union, which was made up virtually entirely of volunteer women who were barely out of their teens and who had not been trained to face such incredible, overwhelming force and whose weapons were barely capable of any sort of defence

they stood in a city that was on fire after hours of bombing and fought an attacking well-equipped panzer unit of superior numbers to the last woman 

the panzer unit hadn’t even realised that they were fighting women until they saw them up close

why are we still having conversations about whether or not women are ‘strong’ enough to serve on the front lines

one day i will write a history textbook told exclusively through the stories/view points of women 

i think i’m going to give twisted a try

Kazuo Oga (various watercolour works c.1988)

Just. Wow.

Kazuo Oga is one of the most inconspicuously famous artists, which is inspirational in its own right by how humbling it is. You would think they were digital from an immediate approach, however upon closer inspection of the textures, lighting and layering it’s clear they’re perfectly hand crafter watercolour pieces.

His works, featured in the backgrounds of various Studio Ghibli films, are subtle enough to blend into the background of the films yet stand out alone as perfection of watercolour techniques and command of lighting.

Just considering there are scenes where the camera pans across his works for several long moments reflects the sublime quality of his work. And that he was able to develop enough artworks to supply several films with stunning backdrops is nothing short of breathtaking.

That’s a good word for it, “breathtaking”.

why the fuck did i sign up for a summer class
