Ok friends, my old faithful #Costco luggage that lasted 10+ years has finally given up on me. Recs for good luggage that can handle trips to the city & the field? Is sustainably-manufactured luggage a thing?

Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian internationalist who was deemed an enemy of the State and assassinated for his radical work. Just about everything else is a lie.

Now is as good a time as any to remind the world that, when the NFL had to start paying out concussion related damages to former players, they literally argued that black players should get less money because they had less mental capacity to lose.
This is who they are.

For those not understanding how important this is. People in jail have children, no matter the crime they committed. I was prevented from speaking to my mother as a child simply because we couldn’t afford it 😩 this would have given me everything I had always wished for 💯

What was the “celebration restaurant” your family ate at when you were a child that you didn’t realize was not, in fact, a 5-star establishment until you became an adult?

this might sound weird but my favorite part of this #OverheardNatGeo episode actually is not about bears, it's when tells that we should be supporting young people's passion for science rather than emphasizing their performance in that subject
