Forty year old Mize Juma Othman installs a new photovoltaic panel on a home in Matemwe village, on the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar. Othman trained for six months in India to become one of the first 13 “solar mamas” in Zanzibar, able to install, troubleshoot and repair the systems.

Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.
I am REALLY frustrated trying to find makeup looks/tutorials for brown skin. Does anyone know of a good tumblr or site that has makeup looks for brown skin? I am looking particularly for formal/wedding looks. Thank you in advance!
And let's take a moment to appreciate the three amazing responses captured here.
The woman with the mic with the "keep it together--but yessssss tell him bb" face.
The man with the mic just reveling in the sick burn OOOOOOOO.
The man with the headset in the background who stops what he is doing to look up and say "DAMN".
All are the correct response. Well done. Literally the queen of "Yeah I said it. FIGHT ME."
Ronda Rousey jabs Floyd Mayweather and his history of domestic violence
The fact that UFC champion Ronda Rousey was awarded best fighter over noted male champions like boxer Floyd Mayweather and MMA fighter Donald Cerrone would have been a significant feminist victory in and of itself. But Rousey took advantage of the moment when she called out Mayweather for his misogynistic history with domestic violence.
Hey Avatar/Legend of Korra fandom! I’d like to introduce you to my little brother Will. He is currently being treated as an in-patient for acute myeloid leukemia, and unfortunately it looks like he’s going to be in the hospital for a long time. We’re both huge fans of the Avatar series and we came up with this funny idea to give him some airbender tats after the announcement of the new Legend of Korra comics. We’re both so excited, we’ve been on a total atla/lok kick for the past few days haha.
Anyway! I’m not telling him that I’m posted these pics, but I think it would be really great and uplifting for him to see some people in the atla/lok fandom support him! So if you consider yourself a part of either or both of these fandoms please reblog or like so I can surprise my brother and make his day! He would seriously love it.
