someone on tiktok said that women had never done anything impactful in history so i listed some women, they then said that people like emily davison and emmeline pankhurst didn’t count because gender equality didn’t count???

so then i listed some more academic/science based women and they said this:

(ignore the marie curie typo)

i’m not crazy right? these are some of the most famous women in history, famous for their discoveries and achievements

i’m sorry that you don’t know who they are but your ignorance does not mean that these amazing women did not do what they did??

tell me that you guys know all of these women and it’s common knowledge because i’m pretty sure it is right?

i’m so sick and tired of people thinking they deserve to win arguments using insults and belittlement even though they don’t have the slightest clue what they’re even talking about

edit: stop saying “i only know x but not y and z”. i don’t care, do better.

Happy birthday to Yuri Gagarin and happy birthday to Valentina Tereshkova, the first people in space! Yuri Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934 and was the first man in space, while Valentina Tereshkova was born on March 6, 1937 and was the first woman in space!

I know it's been a while, but I'm posting this bearing in mind that today is also Donald's birthday (in addition to June 9). I certainly love that both Donald and Della in the cartoons and comics love space travel and that they are both astronauts and I would love to see more stuff like that about the two of them as well as the Duck family going into space. Yes, Gagarin also means duck.

Donald Duck as cosmonaut as Yuri Gagarin and Della Duck as cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova - Tribute to Space Race and gift for my friend - Ducktales 2017

I wouldn't have even drawn this, if this wasn't intended as a gift for a friend of mine who really likes ducks in space adventures and spacesuits.

I drew this on the occasion of the anniversary of when the first man, Yuri Gagarin, went into space on April 12, 1961, with the Vostok 1 rocket, and since then the journey of man in space begins. And I drew Donald Duck as a redraw from the comic cover of Topolino comics from 2015, drawn by Alessandro Perina, in which Donald Duck is like Yuri Gagarin, but in the then Soviet spacesuit (Vostok 1 spacesuit). Yes, I drew it to be close to Ducktales 2017 style, but in my own style, since I think somehow Ducktales 2017 suits that kind of space action. Yes, behind Donald you can see the rockets and aircraft of the Vostok program, as well as the planet Earth. By the way, the surname Gagarin means wild duck, so it is not surprising that the first man in space was a duck. XD

The next drawing is a redraw of Della Duck as Valentina Tereshkova, who flew in space around planet Earth on June 16, 1963 in the Vostok 6 rocket and became the first woman in space. Yes, I have a bit of a problem to draw Della Duck as a whole in a spacesuit, so I just sketched her, and somehow it fits her role to be like Valentina, and Della always wanted to be an astronaut, otherwise the word astronaut means a star sailor so it does matter that Donald is an astronaut too. Such a brother, such a sister. Behind it you can see the Vostok program rocket as well as the stars and the crescent moon. By the way, both Donald and Della, like Yuri and Valentina, wear the USSR mark in Cyrillic on their space helmets, since they are from the Soviet Union (Yuri Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934 and was the first man in space, while Valentina Tereshkova was born on March 6, 1937 and was the first woman in space). And Della is in Ducktales 2017 style, but in my own way.

I hope you like these drawings and these ideas and and feel free to like and reblog this and please don't anyone copy these same ideas of mine without mentioning me. Thank you! Happy first space flight day!

Also this is my gift for my friend who is a fan of space ducks and I wish him a happy birthday dear @ducksinspaceadventure! I hope you like this!

"Why is it that cosmonauts always have girls (daughters)?"

"Maybe because girls are cool."

Most of the pioneering cosmonauts were parents of girls, so here are the proud dads (and mom) and their girls! Happy International Women's Day! 👩🏻‍🚀💐💫
