Your Evening Inspiration: Kids Talk About the Women They Admire

“While Hillary Clinton makes cracks in the political glass ceiling and Lena Dunham challenges Hollywood’s ideals about the female body, it’s our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, best friends and colleagues who are moving feminism forward today.” - Filmmaker Elizabeth Giorgi, Tidal Wave Girls

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be one of two things when I grew up: A librarian, and I was also extremely interested in astronomy so I also wanted to be an astronaut like Sally Ride. Sadly, my dyslexia has always been terribly crippling when it comes understanding the concepts of math and science so I pursued the librarian angle (which also didn’t work out, but that’s a whole other story in itself).

… That being said, I also really love David Bowie. So imagine how fast my heart began beating to see this recording by Col. Chris Hadfield to commemorate his last day in orbit.

BEST. THING. TODAY.

Best Thing Today: Guy's Drunk Wife Tells Him a Lame Joke; He Animates the Result:

Remember the other day when you were saying how much you loved the sketch series “Drunk History” but that you wished how instead of history it was a corny joke about tortilla chips that Morgan Patch told her husband Adam while sauced off her ass on a bottle of wine, which he then turned into an animated short?

Bean is definitely a City dog. After a short ride on Muni, he wiggles out of his carrier with his tail wagging, wide eyed, and a big smile because he loves being in Union Square. (at Union Square)

Holla. This is a lengthy video and parts of it are disturbing, but totally worth every minute.

A Bunch Of Sad, Insecure Dudes Attacked A Woman And Everyone Got What They Deserved (via Upworthy)

“When Anita Sarkeesian announced plans to do a video series exploring the portrayal of women in video games, she became the victim of a massive online attack choreographed by members of the gaming community who cast her as the “villain” in their online “game” to ruin her life. It did not go well for them. But for Anita, things ended up going very well indeed. You definitely want to watch the whole thing, but here are some highlights: at 1:00 she talks about why she loves video games, at 2:02 just try to imagine yourself in her shoes, at 3:45 she sticks the people attacking her under a microscope, and at 8:15 she doesn’t just win the game, she absolutely destroys it.”

A 50-Year Visual History of Sylvia Plath’s ‘The Bell Jar’

This week 50 years ago, the first edition of The Bell Jar was published in England under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. It didn’t make it to the United States until 1971, because Aurelia Plath was embarrassed by what her daughter had to say about her family. But make it to the States (as well as many other countries) it did, and in the last half century years, Sylvia Plath’s one and only novel has become a cult favorite, a classroom staple, and a source of inspiration and solace for thousands of young people.

Anthem of my youth: I remember totally wanting to be just like the girl in this video (though I probably already was, or at least half way there). I didn’t realize how much harder to find this alternate version than the standard.
