Allowing the most powerful segment of society to opt out of public services inevitably makes public services worse. This is why the existence of private schools inevitably makes public schools worse. A simple fact that seems hard for many to admit. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/private-sc...

Private Schools Are Bad for Society

(And, really, this is a lesson much of the rest of the world in my generation and older internalized around 2004. There is plenty decent and tons admirable about the U.S., but *this* is very much in character. It's the America we know.)

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

We are experiencing the world's worst air quality, and we're getting absolutely no response from leadership other than announcements about building more pipelines. Do not normalize this.

I was born and raised in Northern Ontario and I am absolutely boiling with rage at the ways in which people elsewhere are talking about the forest fires there as though this is a common occurrence. The air thick with smoke for kilometers, entire communities wiped out - this shit is not normal.

Post Juneteenth post to say it's weird to me that we only see photos of the Civil Rights Movement in black and white, when they share history with the 60's - a time when colour photography was so prevalent it was booming. Here are some photos of Civil Rights movement in colour
A block from a King rally in 1960, white photographer Bernard Kleina caught white agitators vandalizing the car of a Black family.King at the August 1966 Marquette Park demonstration. I find this photo particularly interesting. The people in it, the fashion, the facial expressions. This could have been yesterday.. A photo by jordan J. Lloyd taken in 1963 of a multiracial rally where of a quarter of a million people marched peacefully on Washington to highlight racial injustices and put pressure on Congress to pass a civil-rights bill proposed by President John F Kennedy.Rosa Parks speaking at the multiracial rally mentioned in the previous photo, in 1963.  Seeing her in colour is powerful - seeing the texture of her hair and the pattern of her dress, seeing the modern look of her fashion and her sunglasses, even the technology of the mics, looks more recent when shown in colour. Seeing her in color makes her look like someone you could know, someone you might talk to at the sandwich shop while waiting for a lemonade ( I just drank a lemonade so it's on my mind. It was good)

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
