From Marilee Talkington’s post:

So, after thinking about this over night, I’ve decided to share something that happened at the WORLD SCIENCE FESTIVAL yesterday afternoon in NYC that changed me. Or rather made me step into who I am in a larger way.

As some on my feed have seen, I was live-feeding the beginning of the panel discussion on FB. That panel was made up of some of the greatest and most famous minds in the world in Inflationary Cosmology, String Theory, Cosmology and Physics based Philosophy. The panel was made up of 5 men and 1 woman. And the moderator was a science writer and journalist for The New Yorker.

In the first hour of the panel discussion you can see clearly, if watching the video, that Veronika Hubeny, the only woman on the panel is barely given any opportunity to speak. And the Moderator, Jim Holt even acknowledges this.

In the last 20-30 minutes of the 90 minute discussion Jim Holt finally pushes the conversation to Hubeny’s field of expertise, string theory, and this is what ensued:

He asked her to describe her two theories of string theory that seem to contradict one another.

And THEN, without letting her answer, proceeded to answer for her and describe HER theories in detail without letting her speak for herself.

We could clearly see that she was trying to speak up. But he continued to talk over her and dominate the space for several minutes.

I should say that this panel was taking place in a large auditorium as it is an extremely high-profile and always sold-out event. And the panel discussion was being live-streamed across the world and they say that millions of people watch these videos after they are made public. (Which they already are).

So at this point, after seeing very clearly that she was not going to be given space to speak and in fact having her own theories described to the audience by the moderator, I am in full outrage. My body is actually beginning to shake. The sexism is beyond blatant. It is happening on stage and NO ONE, not a single other physicist or panelist is stepping in to say anything about it. And I can hear other audience members around me, both men and women becoming more and more agitated with what is happening. Jim Holt, even at one point, asks Veronica a question and she laughs because he has been answering his own questions about her work…and he makes fun of her for ‘giggling’.

So at some point while he is Still talking about Her theories, I just can’t handle it any longer.

With my hands shaking,

I finally say from my seat in the 2nd row of the audience, as clearly, directly and loudly as possible;

“Let. Her. Speak. Please!”

The moderator stops.

They all stop.

The auditorium drops into silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

And then the audience explodes with applause and screams.

Jim Holt eventually sat back, only after saying I was heckling him And he let her speak. And of course, she was brilliant.

———————–

So, the panel discussion ends.

My hands are still shaking. I’m still upset by the incredible sexism that has been demonstrated this afternoon. But I also realize that I just spoke up in an auditorium full of people that are listening to people that are considered gods in the international science world. I was just overwhelmed by it all

We get up to leave.

And then it happens.

Person after person come up to me. Both men and women.

The first woman, right behind me, reaches over and embraces me and says, “Oh my god. what you said was the most important thing that was said all day. Thank you. Thank you.”

And then people start filing out of their aisles and wind their way over to me:

“Was that you? Thank you so much for speaking up. Thank you.”

“Was that you? Oh god, what he was doing was horrific. Thank you. I wanted to do something but didn’t know how”

“Was that you? I wish I had the courage to say something, thank you! Thank you so much”

“Was that you? You said what everyone here was thinking. Look I had even been writing in my notebook what you eventually said (shows me his notebook with ‘let her speak’ written over and over.) But you said it. You said it. Thank you.”

“Was that you? Thank you! I felt so powerless to do anything.”

And on.

So we were all thinking this.

—- So I walked out. And my friend who was sitting about 8 rows behind me, came up to me with a huge grin and said “That was you, wasn’t it? Of course it was. YES!!!!! I will be telling this story for years.”

And the whole time, my hands are still shaking. And I’m felling light-headed. And I just want to scream out into the lobby “WHY IS THIS SEXISM STILL HAPPENING? WHY, does someone like me, with No status in that room, have to be so extraordinarily bold and speak up? And why was it so frightening to do so?”

And I’m thinking. “God, please god let this be an opening for those that were here today and the tens of thousands that watched the live-streaming of the panel yesterday and the hundreds of thousands that will watch the video this year- to speak up when we see this happening. And please let me not be afraid to do this again …and again …and again” Because it was scary.

Please keep giving me courage.

AGGRIEVED ENTITLEMENT

looks like this:

[The single panel comic has a pink background. A white man with short brown hair wearing a white collared shirt and black pants is sitting on one end of a wide wooden bench. His arms are crossed and he is staring straight ahead, his legs splayed out to either side wider than his hips. To his right stands a woman with dark hair and brown skin wearing a green vest over a lilac long-sleeved shirt and black shirt. She is gesturing with one hand at the bench, smiling as she looks sideways at it.]

Woman: I THINK I DESERVE TO SIT ON THIS BENCH TOO!

[Below the first drawing, the woman is now sitting on the opposite end of the bench, her hands on her closed knees. She is looking sideways apprehensively at the man who has fallen onto the ground. His arms are flung out and he looks horrified.]

White man: OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN PUSHED OFF! THERE'S NO ROOM FOR ME ON [Underlined text.] MY [End underlined text.] BENCH ANYMORE!

"Men perceived the discussion as being equal when women talked only 15% of the time, and the discussion as being dominated by women if they talked only 30% of the time."

𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 ♡

I've decided that for October, I'll try to write 31 little fics, one for each day. It's mostly going to be fluff, but I'm fine with mixing in a few smut and angst pieces here and there for variety.

So, if you have any autumn/Halloween ideas or requests you would like me to write they are more than welcome <3 It can be for any of the characters on character list

It can also be for versions of a character and reader from any of my prior fics <3

The Shape of Water

Kalabalıkta bile kendi sesimizi duymamaya mahkum canlılarız. Belki günlük rutinlerimizden kurtulup hayatın ötesine aşkın ötesine bakmalıyız. Bu ödüllü film kategorisinde olan film. Suyun ötesini göre geçmekten öte sezebilmek önemli metaforuna dayandırıyor ve bunu sırılsıklam bir aşkla yapıyor. Hislerinize güvenmeniz yeterli.

Aşk her zaman; dünden bugünden ve gelecek üzerinde ise şeklin ötesinde duruşu , iyileştirici ve tamamlayıcı gücüne şaşırmamak gerekiyor. Guillermo del toro bu ödüllü film ile lirik bir destanı avuçlarımıza bırakıyor.

Otoriteye, baskıcı iş ortamı , ırkçılığa, hor görülmeye, aşağılanmaya ve mutsuz hayatlarına rağmen kalplerinin ses ritmini dinleyerek baş kaldıran ve bunu korku sarmalına değil . Sakin bir ruh halinde olan insanları izliyoruz.

Elisa’nın otobüste yağmur damlalarıyla oynarken hayallere daldığı gibi. Hayatın bütün hoyratlığına rağmen umuda aşkla bağlanmalı her canlı.

Hayatın bütün kalıplarının dışında olup sakın hayata sıkışıp kalma. Bu ikilem çünkü hep vardı. Müziğin yumuşaklığı suyun sesine karışınca bir dilim gizli tariften yapılan turtanın tadına bakınca bütün duvarları yıkmaya başlamak hiç bu kadar eğlenceli olmamıştı.Ödüllü filmlerden olan bu yapım size keyifli bir tebessümü yüzünüze iliştirdi bile . Dahası ise fantastik ögelerle harmanlanan yapım sizi izlediğiniz koltuktan alıp suyun içine çeki veriyor. Bunun başlıca nedenleri ; senaryo, yönetmen ve oyuncuların gerçekliği.

Bütün efsaneler bir şekilde gerçeklere dayanır.

Aşkın tükenmeyen gücünden alan ödüllü film. Denizci hikayelerine ve mitolojiye dalgalarla göz kırpan bir ödüllü yapım. Alt metin olarak görsel olarak sizi o sahnelerin içine çekerken. Şiirin uyumuna sakın şaşırmayın. Bu ödüllü film fona tarihi bir atmosferi yanına aldı. Macera hikâyeleri ise denizin tuzu kıvamında.

Görsel açıdan büyüleyici ve gerçeküstü sahnelerle karşılıyor sizi bu ödüllü film.

Konusu ise :

Guillermo Del Toro'nun Venedik'ten Altın Aslan ödülüyle dönen filmi The Shape of Water, Soğuk Savaş'ın iyice kızıştığı 1963 yılında geçiyor. Elisa'nın temizlikçi olarak çalıştığı bir devlet laboratuvarına insansı bir su yaratığının getirilmesi üzerine gelişen olaylar bir çok kişiyi etkileyecektir. Yapılan deneylere şahit olmasıyla Elisa ve iş arkadaşı Zelda hapsedilen insansı bir yaratığı acımasız deneyden kurtarmaya çalışırlar. Bu uğraşları bir çok yaşamı değiştirirken tahmin ettiğinden daha zorlanacaklardı.

Suyun Sesi: Batık bir gemi gibi sulara gömülmüş insanların bütün zarafeti ile sudan çıkması belki yeniden suya kavuşmasıdır bir deniz kızı gibi. Suyun Sesi bir anlatıcının üst sesi, bize filmin masalsı dünyasına “hoş geldiniz “ diye sahneleri açıyor. Bu ödüllü filmde tasvirler ve betimlemeler peşi sıra gelirken siz daha hızlı filmde kendinizi buluyorsunuz. Ödüllü filmden olan replikte , “denize yakın ama geri kalan her şeye uzak” . Suyun Sesi’nde del Toro bu sefer hikâyesini Soğuk Savaş dönemi ABD’sine yerleştiriyor. 1963 yılındayız. Başkahramanımız Elisa, gizli deneylerin yürütüldüğü bir askerî üste temizlik işçisi olarak çalışan dilsiz bir kadın .

Soğuk Savaş döneminde sinema, aşk ve efsane …

Bazı masallar mutlu sonla bitmezler. Asıllarına dönen insanları temsil eder.

Peki siz kendi dinlediğiniz ya da anlattığınız masalların neresindesiniz ?

Sadece görmek istediklerinizi karşınızda olsun derseniz bitmek tükenmek bilmeyen iyi ve kötünün kendi içinizdeki savaşına hazır olun.

Film gözleri kapatırken derin bir nefes almayı unutmayın hafızanızdan asla silinmeyecek olan bir ödüllü yapım.

Bu ödüllü filmle bir kere daha anlıyoruz ki . Hiç bir şey asla göründüğü gibi değildir. Aşk bile! Her zaman aşkın ötesini görebilmenizi ve geçebilmenizi dilerim iyi seyirler.

-Asırlar önce bir aşığın fısıldadığı o şiir.

“Tasavvuf edemem suretini

Çünkü her yerimi sardın

Varlığın gözlerimi doldurur aşkın ile

Kalbim oyunu bilmiş

Zira sen her yerdesin”

“There’s no telling how many people are in the city, you could theoretically but would have to give up at some point.” He shakes his head, frown deepening at the idea.

Dale nodded. "It's not something you can know in advance will happen. That would certainly make it easier. But it's impossible to track everyone in the city, isn't it?"

Bolt - Un eroe a quattro zampe

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo continuato per l’ennesima volta a discutere della Disney, portando avanti i loro classici animati e arrivando così al loro 47° lungometraggio animato, un’opera ingiustamente dimenticata e criticata, I Robinson – Una famiglia spaziale. Lewis è un orfano di dodici anni ed è un grande inventore, anche se i suoi macchinari tendono…
