Software Engineering is one those industries where it’s impossible to argue with people who have less experience.

Mathematics. To those who do not know mathematics, it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.

319 days since Taliban banned teenage girls from school. The group promised they wouldn’t return to brutal rule of the 90s, where women & girls were barred from almost all work & education. These current policies should put speculation of Taliban 2.0 to rest #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

"When a country resumes stoning women, bans girls from school, or removes women’s control over their own bodies, it’s not just other women watching – it’s also other misogynists," writes @heatherbarr1. Important read 🔓⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/global-healt… @Telegraph
300 days since the girls schools closure, but during this time @PenPath1 has managed to arrange secret and online schools for 5300 girls. We are trying to prevent their time being wasted. We actively work to ensure that no girl stays without learning. #PenPathGirlsEduCampaign

Images of teenage girls at school in Afghanistan don’t exist today. Since returning to power, the Taliban have continued to ban girls over the age of 12 from getting an education because of their gender.

“They made us feel as if we had been buried alive. I felt like I am not a human. I feel like I have committed a big crime which is why God made me a woman in Afghanistan,” Mahera told Al Jazeera, choking back tears. aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/24…

My heart hurts. Black people were hunted down in a grocery store, murdered, live streamed on Twitch for the world to see. 10 people murdered by a home grown terrorist because they are Black.
