People should thank this man
Sorry Jennifer not everybody can look like Chris Evans while doing a huge service to the general public.
Anyway this guy is amazing.
Did you see the video? He has such a glowing personality and his eagerness to share knowledge is infectious.
some people will take any chance they can to dehumanize fat people
theres also been a motion to write more articles about women because the gap in articles about men vs articles about women is astronomically huge, and he’s written hundreds or thousands of them and is a huge proponent of this. he’s done a lot of great work and he spends countless hours a day researching things so that we have access to that knowledge. he’s a hero. he doesnt do it for money either, tho apparently his regular job also involves research. but he does this purely because he believes in how important it is for information to be free.
he’s done 600 articles on women as a part of this push for more
He looks like a nice guy and I know people like to sneer at it but Wikipedia is a good, ACCESSIBLE starting point for learning about things, so like, haters can fuck all the way off.
“How much money do you make from this?”
“None.”
“So why do you do it?”
“The idea of it, making it all free, fascinates me. My mother grew up in the Soviet Union. So I’m very conscious of what it can mean to make knowledge free. To make information free.”
how can you hear that and think anything other than that this is a brilliant, kind, generous man

Well HELLO Ace!Pr0n…
Antiblackness never follows reason
antiblackness is unreasonable
Reparations are a part of a proper apology.
A proper apology is a part of justice, trust repair, and community building.
These things are needed if we intend to heal the Very Real damage that the descendants of slaves still have.
To paraphrase Malcolm X, we need to offer reparations, freely, willingly, and knowing why, before the knife is going to come out. Until the knife is out, the healing cannot begin. Until the healing is ended, descendants of slavers bear the burden of shame and guilt for the suffering of our fellow humans.
You can attain no absolution without offering a solution.
I can go first, if you need to see how it works.
To any and all descendants of the victims of the American Slave Trade:
I am deeply sorry. Slavery is an immoral and reprehensible degradation of human dignity that leaves scars on the very genetic code. The tools of oppression cut deep, and I recognize there is still traumatic damage to undo. As of now, I am not a therapist nor financially able to give direct monetary compensation without endangering my ability to continue repairing the damage*. In this understanding, I propose that instead I lift your voices as high as I can when you ask those with the skill and means to begin to undo the horrible injustice you face. I will be there when you need me, I will give you support and unconditional empathy as frequently as my own disability allows*. I will speak out about racism in venues where I know my voice will be heard, and I will listen to you so I say what you want said. I will prioritize Black-owned businesses, donate when I can to charities for the promotion and protection of Black lives. I know this process will take time, probably my lifetime. I am willing to commit to this as long as you want me around, and willing to change any aspect of it to better suit your needs as long as that does not endanger my survival*. I will do my best to undo what was done.
—-The Descendant of a Slave Holder
* These conditions are present only because I know that outside of a few, individual, dramatic, photogenic cases, dead activists are next to useless. Please trust me as an expert on myself: I am not good martyr material.

Not to get all poetic but they look like the sun and the moon and these should be in the MET
The seldom seen, full mating display dance of the Hooded Grebe, Podiceps gallardoi. @moomgene and I were luckily enough to see a breeding colony develop out of nothing in a few days, and see the whole social dynamic of displaying to pair formation to nest building and egg laying play out less than 10m from us.
why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like…
rainbow mountains (peru)
red soil (canada/PEI)
rings (saturn’s if they were on earth)
bioluminescent waves
northern lights (canada)
salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)
and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens
BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species
I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:
Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar
Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)
Chocolate Hills, Philippines
Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland
So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smh…
Earth is effing amazing!
Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina
Lake Retba, Senegal
Tepui, Venezuela
Tianzi Mountains, China
these would make amazing Star Wars planets OR fantasy material:
Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)
(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)
Lake Natron, Tanzania
(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)
Lake Baikal, Russia
(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)
and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.
it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:
(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it)
anyway I really like caves thanks for coming to my ted talk
Just adding onto this collection—Star Wars aside—because there are some manmade places/landmarks that are pretty extraordinary too.
Field of Jars, Laos (ancient, uncertain origins; heavily damaged by American Forces in the Vietnam War, now partially a hazardous minefield)
Stone spheres of Costa Rica (ancient, uncertain origins/purpose)
Anasazi ruins, USA (ancient, uncertain origins)
Nazca Lines, Lima, Peru (ancient, uncertain origins)
Malakoff Diggins, Nevada City, USA (result of hydraulic gold mining)
Nuestro Pueblo “Watts Towers”, Los Angeles, USA (lone man spent 33yrs building these in his yard)
Aaand a couple natural things that I can never get over:
‘Sailing Stones’ of Death Valley, USA (they move on their own)
Banyan trees, India (one tree takes root repeatedly and looks like many trees)
