honestly tho when i first started to get into star trek i preferred the reboot universe (the 2 newest movies) mostly bc everyone is young and zachary quinto is handsome as hell so i didn’t feel as weird w/ shipping stuff

but after i started to delve into tos and the older movies i’m loving it so much more?? it doesn’t have the weird sexism that bothered me in the reboot and it’s more Emotional. there’s less production value but it feels more intimate and Real. i’m a huge fucking nerd

These genius coders just built the Yelp for public safety 

During the International Girls Hackathon a
group of Brazilian women, ages 18 to 22, developed “Não Me Calo” (“I
Will Not Shut Up”), an app that “lets women review and rank public
venues based on the level of safety they provide for women and girls.”
The app, billed as a “Yelp for women’s safety” by the hackathon’s
organizers, the Global Fund for Women, won the overall competition on Tuesday. The other ideas in the competition sound pretty great as well.
