Just a reminder:
When Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was travelling on the road with his cousin, Al-Fadl ibn Abbas, a woman stopped him to ask him a question. The woman was very beautiful, and Al-Fadl couldn’t help but stare at her.
Seeing this, Prophet Muhammad reached out his hand and turned his cousin’s face away.
He didn’t tell the woman to cover her face.
He didn’t tell her to change her clothing.
He didn’t tell her that her appearance was too tempting or indecent.
He averted his cousin’s impolite stare.

To Fix Wikipedia’s Gender Imbalance: A Big Editing Party?
Next week, students, faculty and members of the public will gather in a room at Brown University. They will sit down, open their laptops—enjoy some light snacks and drinks—and then, for five and a half hours, edit Wikipedia.
Specifically, they’ll be editing Wikipedia to add and improve entries about women in science, technology, and math. Their “Edit-a-Thon,” reported today by the Chronicle of Higher Education, will fall on the fifth annual Ada Lovelace Day, an international celebration of women’s contribution to technology. Lovelace worked on and wrote algorithms for Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine in the early 19th century, a mechanical predecessor to the computer, making her the world’s first computer programmer.

SPACE PATROL (1963): http://networkawesome.com/2013-10-8/space-patrol-wandering-asteroid-1963
Awesome.
Tonight at the con I was about to take a picture with a deadpool cosplayer and when we were posing he said “is it okay if I put my hand on your waist?” And I was like “yeah sure thanks for asking!” And he just laughed and said “I’m deadpool, not CREEPpool!” And that was the most wonderful and reassuring con experience I’ve ever had.
HERE HE IS BTW
