Today is Ada Lovelace Day, celebrating women in STEM
Ada Lovelace is widely held to have been the first computer programmer. Close friends with inventor Charles Babbage, she was intrigued by his Analytical Engine and in 1842 translated a description of it by Italian mathematician Luigi Menabrea. Babbage asked her to expand the article, “as she understood [it] so well”, and this was when she wrote several early ‘computer programs’ a 100 years before the first computers were built.
Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of celebration helping people learn about the achievements of women in STEM, inspiring others and creating new role models for young and old alike.
Ada herself was an inspiration to many including Michael Faraday.
On the 10 June 1840, Ada Lovelace sent a copy of her portrait to Michael Faraday with a note saying
'Dear Mr. Faraday,
Mr Babbage tells me that you have expressed a wish to possess one of the engravings of me, by which I feel exceedingly flattered, & hope you will accept one that we still happen to have by us.
I am sorry that there is no proof left, to which I might have put my signature.
Believe me, yours very truly
Augusta Ada Lovelace
St James’ Square
Faraday liked to collect images of people he met or were acquainted with so this etching was gratefully received into his collection.
This was the start of a friendship and admiration which lasted till until Ada’s death in 1852 at the age of 36.

; I am awash in replies I'm so sorry. My school play is in its last two weeks of rehearsals and believe me when I say that "hell week" is an accurate term, even if it's next week instead of this week. I'm spending twelve hours a day at school and holy frickin crap does it feel like hell week.

I probably already ship it
not that I deliberately start rp’ing with people for the purposes of shipping, but if there’s chemistry, if there’s interesting interaction, then yeah, I probably ship it
you don’t have to ship it too; it’s fun to torture the muse with unrequited feelings okay

"Okay, good-- I mean, it's not the craziest thing I've ever heard, but it sure is far fetched, ain't it?"
”No, I don’t. - In all honesty, I remain thoroughly unconvinced myself.”

Kaylee couldn't quite stop herself from grinning at River's reply, and she looked up at River, laughing slightly. "C'mon, River, give it back!"
River giggled, holding the wrench to her chest as she hung upside down from a random beam. “Fair is there and there is fair” she sang

"...Well yeah," she replied, knitting her brow, "I mean I know that, but it doesn't stop that from being just completely unfair."
“Fair is relative,” they said. “There’s a lot of things that happen that aren’t fair.”

"Ohhhh, an excuse. Okay."
"I think I can prob'ly work around you, if you really want to stick around and watch me work."
"Oh. Nothing exactly. Just… checking. It’s an excuse, actually.”
"I wanted to watch you work for a little bit. I hope that isn’t too much of an inconvenience for you."
