The real history of cosplay and fan costumes - and it is all because of one amazing woman.

The real history of cosplay and fan costumes - and it is all because of one amazing woman. Originally shared by Self-Rescuing Princess Society "For more than 10 years Morojo and Ackerman were an inseparable, intellectually compatible dream duo, and 1939 was an especially big year for the pair: they started their first major zine together, jointly financed the publication of teenage Ray Bradbury’s first sci-fi zine, and attended the first-ever World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) wearing 'futuristicostumes' straight out of the 1936 H.G. Wells movie Things to Come — the FIRST FAN COSTUMES EVER WORN IN RECORDED HISTORY. "Handsome Forrie cut a dashing figure in his giant shoulder pads and breeches, tiny Morojo’s ball gown converted into a ROMPER with a CAPE, and every other attendee who wasn’t busy hatin’ on ‘em for out-fanning the rest of the world started planning their own costumes for next year." I had no idea! http://buff.ly/2m9ivS9

As a former member of the troop that spearheaded equal membership in Australia, I wish her and her troop the very best. I remain astounded by the mirror-image nature of Scouting and Guiding between Australia and America. Here, the Scouts are progressive and inclusive. There, it is the Guides. Here, the Guides are conservative, and there they are the progressive and inclusive movement. Originally shared by Luke Shiras We're certainly committed to finding program options that work for the entire family — it's an area we continue to evaluate," Delimarkos said. "But we also feel that the benefit of a single-gender program is an important priority." I don't think that word means what they think it means. http://www.kiro7.com/news/local/15-year-old-new-york-city-girl-spearheads-campaign-to-make-boy-scouts-coed/493469156

Via Self-Rescuing Princess Society. I knew of the link between weaving and coding, but I had not realised that knitting was Turing-complete! And, for the record, anyone who thinks that coding is male-only process is just a bigot. I know, and work with, dozens of excellent coders of all genders. Originally shared by Ray Radlein Edit: As someone added on Twitter: "Your periodic reminder that knitting is a two-register counter machine, and is therefore Turing-complete." https://twitter.com/1opter/status/810258612316729344/photo/1
