"I don’t care how much sex anyone has, how often they do it, or who they do it with. I’m much more interested in the consent, pleasure, and well-being of the participants and the people affected by it. I respect women who are asexual, celibate, monogamous, multi-partnered, or have had more partners than they can recall. I respect women who only have sex after a commitment to monogamy and those who have sex with someone within minutes of meeting them. I respect women who have transactional sex, women who have sex for love, or for any other reason. I know that all of these categories are permeable and that many women move from one to another. And I know that any of these decisions can be made from a place of personal power, choice, and authenticity, as well as from a place of coercion, shame, and disempowerment."

Elizabeth “Tex” Williams
Williams was the first black Women’s Auxiliary Air Corps (WAC) photographer. She made the army her career from 1944 on, documented air and ground maneuvers, recorded medical procedures, and provided images for intelligence. In 1949 she became the first black woman admitted to the Signal Corps photography school at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, graduating at the top of her class.

From Wikipedia: Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (May 10, 1900 – December 7, 1979) was an English-American astronomer who in 1925 was first to show that the Sunis mainly composed of hydrogen, contradicting accepted wisdom at the time.
… Shapley persuaded Cecilia Payne to write a doctoral dissertation, and so in 1925 she became the first person to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe (now part of Harvard) for her thesis: “Stellar Atmospheres, A Contribution to the Observational Study of High Temperature in the Reversing Layers of Stars”. Astronomer Otto Struve characterized it as “undoubtedly the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy”. By applying the ionization theory developed by Indian physicist Megh Nad Saha she was able to accurately relate the spectral classes of stars to their actual temperatures. She showed that the great variation in stellar absorption lines was due to differing amounts of ionization that occurred at different temperatures, and not due to the different abundances of elements. She correctly suggested that silicon, carbon, and other common metals seen in the Sun were found in about the same relative amounts as on Earth, but that helium and particularly hydrogen were vastly more abundant (by about a factor of one million in the case of hydrogen). Her thesis thus established that hydrogen was the overwhelming constituent of the stars. When her dissertation was reviewed, she was dissuaded by Henry Norris Russell from concluding that the composition of the Sun is different from the Earth, which was the accepted wisdom at the time. However, Russell changed his mind four years later when other evidence emerged. After Payne-Gaposchkin was proven correct Russell was often given the credit.”
Cecilia Payne wrote several books, including:
- “Stars of High Luminosity” (1930)
- “Variable Stars and Galactic Structure” (1954)
- “The Galactic Novae” (1957)
- “Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin: an autobiography and other recollections” (1984) ed. Katherine Haramundanis
All of these books have been added to the STFU Conservatives bookstore. I made a new category called “Great Ladies of Science,” so if you have any suggestions for it let me know!-Jess -

TV Week 2011 Interview...
Scott: If I was in charge (of H50 series), I'd focus less on the procedural and have a show that didn't even have a case, just to focus on the character development and see what's going on with us. (As Dot suddenly jumps on the table in front of them.) Alex: So would you do a whole show about Dot, where she talked like a human? Scott: I did make a movie about a dog once - The Dog Problem. But it wasn't very good, so don't tell anyone! -
FLAN, TELLING IT LIKE IT IS:
“It was a series of unfortunate decisions. It’s primarily driven by human arrogance.
“After 12, 13, 14 years of having a successful [franchise], there’s — the producers of that show really felt like they were geniuses. And that anything they did, people would watch. And they loved the idea of getting rid of us (which, I think they were just tired of us) and just getting new people. And they were like ‘Stargate! People were gonna watch Stargate! Whenever we do Stargate, people will come.’ And it was arrogance ‘cause the audience pretty much: the answer was [flips up middle finger]. That was the answer they got.”
