Talent 2030 hosts an annual competition for girls aged 11-18 in the UK to involve themselves in the future of engineering. This year I entered with an essay on the use of engineering to cure cancer, and thought I’d provide the article links I used for research. It’s actually a really interesting topic to delve into if you’re curious

Even the sexiest person you have ever met in your life is just a collection of organic compounds rambling around in a sack of water

Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world, the disarray. I choose to see the beauty. To believe there is an order to our days. A purpose.
Actually a really good example to wake you up from this is what you picture in your head when I say terrorist. And then remember that white people have been terrorising the world for a lot longer than the people who you probably imagine.
I struggle to understand why other white people refuse to realise they’re racist. You can be at every rally, supporting every cause, it doesn’t matter. We were raised to be inherently racist, and the sooner you face up to that the sooner you can actually work on solving the problems.
Prejudice is automatic in most of our upbringings, and if you’re living your life saying ‘oh but I’m not racist’, you’re never actually gonna get rid of those prejudices.
