June 16 is the anniversary of the first woman in space - Valentina Tereshkova, who orbited Earth in her Vostok spacecraft in 1963. Why does she continue to be vilified, over 60 years later? I turn my feminist lens on this question. 🧪 🔭 #WomenInSTEM

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor.
He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down.
The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him.
This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies
