While you were sleeping
Last night on Twitter, I found the following items that may be of interest…
Newsworthy. Yesterday, @SwiftOnSecurity and @Spacekatgal got the ball rolling on rewriting the Barbie “I Can Be A Computer Engineer” story — #feministhackerbarbie — @cfiesler did an awesome remix version, and today, it’s a thing thanks to @kaflurbaleen — click here to add your ‘fix’ or check out the awesome user submitted improvements.
(Note that if you see a bunch of non-Barbie pictures? That’s the Dark Side hacking… And that’s why we can’t have nice things.) But you can help fight the power! Click the “Fix a Page” link on the site, and your rewrite will overwrite one of the lame spam images.
People. If you’re not following these folks, you might want to start: @kaflurbaleen, @cfiesler, @SwiftOnSecurity, @Spacekatgal, @DSSScience, @tonyrobbins, @photographnz, @vladchoc, @thereaIbanksy, @elsua, @zoezeitgeist, @PootDibou, @GirlGoneTravel.
Video. @DSSScience channelled their inner Mean Girls to explain why bad science and baseless innuendo have given aspartame a bad rap.
Books. My Kindle auto-downloaded my pre-order of @tonyrobbins new book — I’ve just started reading, but have listened to a lot of podcasts and this one is going to be worth the price of admission. Already a #1 Best-Seller.
Philosophy.
Destinations. So, I’m thinking Iberia just made the bucket list, thanks to @GirlGoneTravel.
Humanism. This is a long, but very worthwhile read; written for young women, but really applies to all ages and genders. Thanks, @PootDibou!
Crowdfunding. Well, who couldn’t use one of these? And they just need 41 more peeps to get on-board. I’m in. Via @zoezeitgeist.
Infographics. Here’s one from @thereaIbanksy, via @elsua, whose title, “Chief Emergineer” is worth a follow all on its own…
That it for today, folks! Sorry for the late post, getting ready to have guests over! That said, if you liked this post, please take a moment to click “Recommend” below, so that other readers can enjoy it too!
