All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

TIL there’s a fish that lives in the lowest depths of the Congo River that has stunted growth, no color pigment, and no eyes. And locally it’s called “mondeli bureau,” which translates to “white man in an office” LMAO

I just said “I’ve had it with these motherfucking ants in my motherfucking kitchen” in my Samuel L Jackson voice so I may be losing it, though in my defense it was 4:30 in the morning and I’d already cleaned up dog barf when I found the ants

This is from the new WH report on the Smithsonian’s Museum of American History, calling for what the museum *should* say about slavery and human rights. One question: those 750,000 people who died in the Civil War to end slavery… who killed them? And why?

It should tell the story of how the colonies inherited slavery from both global and European slaving practices, but also how the words, actions, and ideas of America's Founders helped spark a worldwide movement that ultimately ended slavery. It should tell the story of how at least eight American colonies passed or attempted to pass laws to either tax or severely limit the importation of slaves before the Revolutionary War, only to be forced by the British Crown to continue it. It should tell the story of how 750,000 Americans died in the Civil War. It should tell the story of how Americans came to reject Jim Crow and segregation, backing a colorblind standard derived from America's founding documents. In short, it should tell the story of the birth of America and how the United States, because of the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and upheld in the Constitution, has done more to advance and secure fundamental rights than any other nation in the world.

There's a whole thing where people don't want to show their kids faces online so they're trying different ways to obscure the identity of a kid but still have them in the video. Frequently people only show a kid from the back or put an emoji over their face. The latest option is Void Child

Screenshot from a video. A video of a toddler dancing has masked a brown gradient over the shape of the toddler, giving the effect of a brown dancing shadow in a living room.

Just acquired: two tiny pamphlet printings of the preliminary and final Emancipation Proclamation, published in Boston in December 1862 and January 1863. Made to be distributed freely and to be carried south by Union soldiers and given, in particular, to formerly enslaved men who might enlist.

Published by the Boston businessman and abolitionist John Murray Forbes, in consultation with Charles Sumner. Their tiny form is part of their story

Truly miniature (hand for scale) these could fit in pockets and be easily tucked away. Though they were apparently printed in great numbers, very few survive today. Now Boston Public Library m.2026.59.
