things i never expected to learn through a tedtalk but now am glad to know:

the founder of Sirius XM radio is a sapphic trans woman and is currently trying to preserve her wife’s consciousness in a digital file so her wife can be immortal in the body of a robot.

heres the tedtalk if you dont believe because everyone deserves to know this reality of the amazing world in which we live 

Holy shit you neglected to mention that when her daughter got a terminal disease with no cure or treatment possible she literally went to the library got some medical textbooks and taught herself enough biochemistry to actually begin developing a drug that halted the disease good god why have we never heard of this absolute genius

that seems kind of fabrication-y, it’s more like she found the specific molecule needed to make a treatment but they wouldn’t give it to her since she wasn’t a scientist herself, so she actually hired a team of doctors and technicians and started her own company that made the very first treatment for pulmonary hypertension, which sparked more pharmaceuticals to improve upon the effectiveness of the drug. However, United Therapeutics will provide the treatment to patients that can’t afford it for free. So she didn’t just go to the library and make a treatment all by herself, she sparked the medical field to not only develop a treatment for a fatal disease but to keep improving it over time, all out of love for her daughter. Martine Rothblatt is a really ridiculously impressive person
