Nat Turner was a terrorist. At least, that's what they'd expect the Black community to call him if it were today. He was born October 2, 1800....or 236 years ago today. And somehow they expected a man born enslaved to never want to rebel. To escape. To take revenge.
Four books with Nat Turner as the subject. Left to right, top to bottom.

1. Ten Black Writers Respond to William Styron's "Confessions."

2. The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron

3. Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion by Herbert Aptheker.

4. The Resurrection of Nat Turner. Part 1 by Sharon Ewell Foster

So much talk about literacy crisis, but many of these same people don’t think critically at all. Trump is a sexual predator. Evidence of such, existed when I was a young girl. He was on Howard Sterns 90’s radio show saying vile things about women long before he was an elected official. No one cared.

We at Skype a Scientist are deeply troubled by the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences. We urge you to contact Drexel University Leadership and Academy interim leader Trish Wellenbach to urge them to reopen the museum. President Merlo president@Drexel.edu Trish Wellenbach tw958@drexel.edu
a block of text with a statement that reads We at Skype a Scientist are deeply alarmed by the decision of Drexel University leadership and the Academy of Natural Sciences Board to close the Academy’s public museum.

Skype a Scientist is based in Philadelphia with deep roots in our city. Making science accessible, in particular for Philly’s children, is a top priority for our organization. We operate in community centers, at street festivals, and at the intersection of science and art. For the last 10 years, we have worked to engage a broader coalition of Philly residents to care for our local biodiversity. 

Our program does not exist in a vacuum. The work that we do, alongside environmental education centers, our museums, classroom teachers, and more, create an ecosystem of connections with science. The loss of any part of this fragile ecosystem is detrimental. The Academy of Natural Sciences grounds biodiversity education in Philadelphia. With grand fossil halls, historical connections, and engaging exhibits, it is a place where many Philadelphians develop a love of science. Loss of access to this space cannot be tolerated.

We are living through an erosion of public education, particularly in the life sciences. Philadelphia cannot afford to lose our flagship biodiversity museum.

We call on the leaders of Drexel University and the Academy board to reverse their decision to close the Academy’s public museum. The children of Philadelphia and future generations of Philly-made scientists are counting on you.

LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

Always remember how they treat real revolutionaries and civil rights fighters. Make no mistake about it, this is how they feel about our liberation and the lengths they will go to stop us from achieving it.

Happy Hoodoo Heritage Month! Today is Nat Turner Day and I always think about ROOT MAGIC. This novel is a great introduction for kids and adults to Hoodoo and Gullah Geechee culture AND the family in this award-winning Southern Gothic story shares this revered ancestor’s last name.
Cover of my debut MG novel ROOT MAGIC. Young Black twins (boy and girl) stand back to back in the middle of a marsh of blue, yellow and green mist lined with trees and reeds. She is holding a book, and her doll is peeking out of the pocket of her blue dress. He is wearing dark blue overalls and holding a bottle of magic potion and had a mojo bag around his neck.

Test Reads: Root Magic A Walter Award Honor Book Eden RoyceMy trio of Hoodoo novels for kids. Root Magic, Conjure Island, The Creepening of Dogwood House.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: underwater ocean camera view of a whale fall on the sea floor, with various bottom feeders and weird fishes crawling around the decomposing remains. Off panel, someone says, “hang on a second…” Panel 2: the speaker is a member of a marine biologist crew, remotely viewing the video footage from a computer monitor. The biologist is leaning against his colleague’s chair. He continues, “pan the camera back.” Panel 3: Back underwater, the POV shifts to the other end of the whale carcass. There’s a large spider crab with a standing just off to the side. It has a human face in a neutral expression, and is wearing glasses. The marine biologist says, “I think I went to high school with that guy.”

There’s a fascinating example in Gerald Horne’s “Counter-Revolution of 1776” where Georgia tried to act as a “white only” buffer colony between South Carolina and Spanish Florida, but it just resurfaced all the class and religious antagonisms that white supremacy papered over.

Like I know what usually happens when I eat or drink anything, but I don't know if my body will take to this without freaking tf out yet - and my body DOES have a history of freaking the fuck out at things it shouldn't. I'm just making the best of it, since the benefits make it worthwhile

I'm ngl I didn't even realize I was afraid of this shit until I had to get a transfusion! I barely feel needles and prefer to watch the insertion just in case, but the transfusion part is so anxiety inducing cause it's not like I can personally SEE how it'll work in any way I find predictable.
