Were you around before the microwave?
No need to date yourself, but today’s Smithsonian Snapshot is of an early microwave oven from 1976, courtesy of our National Museum of American History. The idea was patented after noticing that a magnetron was emitting heat-generating microwaves during an experiment with radar in 1945.

Heteronormativity isn’t just about the presumption that everyone is heterosexual. The expectation that boys woo girls feeds into your mind the expectation that relationships are necessary for fulfilment, and you are less than if you are not having particular kinds of sex with a particular, and a particular kind of, person at particular intervals. It’s about what Lauren Berlant calls the love plot, in which love is produced as a generic text enabling society to interpret your life as following certain conventions. It’s not about what you want, it’s about what you’re supposed to want. You’re not encouraged to think about what you want in relationships, if anything, so much as you are encouraged to fit a script. Heteronormativity messes things up for everyone, straight people included.

Bro,white dudes in the military are some of the most racist mofo’s I have ever come in contact with and it’s like they dont even care

smh i bet.

Where is this from?

It’s a HBO show called Generation Kill, and it’s a pretty accurate show

Does no one ever read my commentary on military culture and how it is a fucking CESSPOOL and BREEDING GROUND for fostering, strengthening, and reinforcing racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and rape culture?

Like does nobody understand or get it by now? Jesus fucking Christ.

There are the green-eyed Mexicans. The rich blond Mexicans. The Mexicans with the faces of Arab sheiks. The Jewish Mexicans. The big-footed-as-a-German Mexicans. The leftover-French Mexicans. The chaparrito compact Mexicans. The Tarahumara tall-as-a-desert-saguaro Mexicans. The Mediterranean Mexicans. The Mexicans w/Tunisian eyebrows. The negrito Mexicans of the double coasts. The Chinese Mexicans. The curly-haired, freckled-faced, red-headed Mexicans. The Lebanese Mexicans. Look, I don’t know what you’re talking about when you say I don’t look Mexican. I am Mexican.
