And I noticed something strange on Internet. If you share an opinion and you are a male, it's ok. If you write the same thing and you are a female, they have the urge to correct you and making you feeling sorry/shut up.
Listen, if performing femininity is an “empowering choice,” then it needs to be an actual choice. Meaning that woman can opt out of it without negative consequence. Meaning a woman can go to an academic event without heels or in a simple suit and still be “professional.” Meaning that a woman can go to a job interview without a full face of makeup and not be “tired” or “disheveled.” Meaning that a woman can walk around in shorts with unshaven legs and not be a dirty, unclean gremlin. Meaning that a little girl can play and break barriers and like STEM while wearing jeans and a t-shirt and not be considered less empowered or “just trying to be a boy.”
Meaning that a woman’s femininity and womanhood is not contingent upon the extent to which she buys and performs a time-consuming, expensive, uncomfortable mold of a very specific type of packaged femininity.
This isn’t even going into the effect these double standards have on women who in some way, by their very existence, do not fit the standard white western beauty mold and are expected to perform hyperfemininity to be “women” at all. I.e. women of colour esp. darker-skinned women of colour, hijabi women and tznius-keeping women, fat women, disabled women, trans women, etc.
With this new name, our Mars 2020 rover has now come to life! Chosen by middle school student Alex Mather, Perseverance helps to remind ourselves that no matter what obstacles we face, whether it’s on the way to reaching our goals or on the way to Mars, we will push through. In Alex’s own words,
“We are a species of explorers, and we will meet many setbacks on the way to Mars. However, we can persevere. We, not as a nation but as humans, will not give up. The human race will always persevere into the future.”
Welcome to the family. ❤️

Cool situation we’re getting into here
There’s not even any reason to fire an employee over wearing a facemask. This is purely just making an ideological position that’s gonna get people killed
If only 100% of the workers decided not to return to work. Business can’t run w/out employees. Sadly, since a 1x payment of 1200 really doesn’t help anyone, ppl are forced to put themselves and their loved ones in danger to put food on the table. Wonderful country we live in.
R. I. P. oppy!! we love you so much

The death toll in Italy is slowly decreasing, like the number of those who are hospitalized in intensive care units. Things are getting a little bit better, but there are still many deaths and infected people.
Yesterday, Italy's Prime Minister said that from May 4th the country will start the second phase. But that doesn't mean we'll end the quarantine and be free. Some people will be able to go back to work.
I was supposed to do my final exam this year, but some things changed. I didn't expect that.
I was supposed to do many great things this year. I was supposed to go to a concert, have my finals, go to London with my best friend. I was supposed to visit some universities this month.
This quarantine taught me how to be more self conscious and especially how we shouldn't take everything for granted, cause everything could change in just one day.
What seemed to be so impossible and far from me (when the virus was still in China) became the worst nightmare. I was the first one who thought "it's never gonna get here, it's just a flu, it's not the end of the world". But this pandemic really messed up everything.
This pandemic, this quarantine, made us keep distance from our relatives and our friends. It's been 2 months since I last saw my bff and I miss her so much.
Yesterday I went for a walk with my grandmother (now we can, just if we wear a face mask) and it was so strange. I left my house for the first time after 2 months.
But I know this will be over someday. And I hope everyone, sooner or later, will realize how serious this situation is.
