“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero

Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”  

- @robinlayfield

Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.

also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.

Reblogging to do what the failed education system never did.

let’s not forget the incredible women who made it possible for india to go to mars!

The women scientists who took India into space

The BBC meets three Indian female scientists who prove that rocket science is not a male preserve.

The next time they tell you Americans are “happy” with their employer provided health insurance remember that that “happiness” is fueled by willful ignorance of what the alternatives are really like and fear of losing what little crappy health care they currently have.

Oh dip? I didn’t know I was 8 away from 3000 followers. Maybe I’ll post some dev art for games I’m working on or something.

Here’s a TTRPG character I made.

Here’s a not so friendly reminder:

Just because you have received the vaccine does NOT mean you can just do whatever you want now and stop wearing a mask and social distancing. The pandemic is still happening.

If the virus continues to spread, we give it more opportunities to mutate and adapt, which could lead to a variant that’s immune to the vaccine, which would mean everything we’ve been doing would be a waste of time. Until enough people get the vaccine and herd immunity is achieved, keep following the rules, wash your hands, social distance, and wear a mask.

The vaccine also doesn’t necessarily stop you from getting and spreading COVID, it’s meant to keep you from having a serious or fatal reaction to covid. It’s supposed to make it much harder for you to get COVID at all but it doesn’t actually make you 100% immune.

So being vaccinated probably means you can personally relax when going out but should still be wearing a mask in public and avoiding non vaccinated high risk people.

Seriously, folks, by now you should ignore any attempts by the government to weaken the restrictions, and KEEP masking & washing & distancing.

“But Jean, WHEN do we ease off??”

When it’s been 6 months between cases.

NEW ZEALAND got it right.

And when they had a returning flare-up of just a few people, they locked down HARD.

WE ARE NOT DOING THAT.

THIS MEANS WE WILL KEEP HAVING CASES IN THE TENS OF THOUSANDS.

The only way to STOP that is to KEEP MASKING, GLOVING, DISTANCING.
