Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American actress and inventor who pioneered the technology that would one day form the basis for today’s WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems. However like many women before and after her she is not credited or remembered for all that she did especially as an inventor, a field that rarely allowed women in the door.

“I didn't arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.”

“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.”

Stand and deliver
You let them put the fear on you
Stand and deliver
But not a word you heard was true
But if there's nothing you can say
There may be nothing you can do

Paroles

Ton arrière-arrière-grand-père, il a défriché la terre
Ton arrière-grand-père, il a labouré la terre
Et pis ton grand-père a rentabilisé la terre
Pis ton père, il l’a vendue pour devenir fonctionnaire

Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom, God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, keys, and other things, thus doing more walking. And God looked down and saw that it was good.

“That Can’t Be True!”

is a new monthly feature on the Seattle NOW website where we’ll share young feminist opinions on various images, articles, poems, books, and experiences. All of the content that will be posted caught our attention at one point and quite literally made us think, “that can’t be true!”

Paroles : Vivre tout seul / Bird on the wire 

Je veux vivre 
Tout seul 
Libre comme 
Un oiseau sur son fil 
Sans famille 
Sans femme 
Et sans amis 

Je veux vivre 
Tout seul 
Rien que moi 
De face et de profil 
Sans visa 
Sans papiers 
Et sans pays 

J'en ai marre 
De toujours faire le beau 
De sourire 
Quand j'ai mal dans mon coeur 
J'en ai marre 
Je veux monter plus haut 

I found it interesting as both a commentary on Shaw’s critique of British social ontology, and the social psychology of the receptive audience.

Sensationalism isn’t a formula for success 

It is an overused devise to attract attention 

I yearn for escapism 

We are loaded with tropes and antiquated traditions
