There is a cohort of people, myself included, for whom this book (National Geographic’s PICTURE ATLAS OF OUR UNIVERSE, 1980) was formative, to put it mildly.https://twitter.com/microecos/status/1037313163937677313 …

In the article,
@edyong209 mentions 'holotypes' which is a word I was unfamiliar with until I started hanging around museum people. This essay by@MatthewBattles is one of my all time favourite pieces of writing and tells how holotypes come to be.https://aeon.co/essays/a-museum-s-cabinet-of-curiosities-is-also-a-chamber-of-secrets …Show this threadThanks.

You: Don't read from The Book of The Dead, you'll wake an ancient evil. Them: That's intellectual fascism! The only way to kill the mummy is with debate! You: It's dead. Many people died achieving this. Them: But it hasn't been killed by *me* yet! Best resurrect it to be sure.

You don't learn to defeat something by engaging with it on its own terms. We don't train doctors by exposing them to diseases. Analyse fascism, teach people about the dangers, discuss how to combat it but don't release it just so you can play the hero.

"If they had given to the museum 1/4 of funds that were used for any one of the [Olympic] soccer stadiums that are completely useless now, that would have been sufficient to put the museum in good condition."

Young women in Lowell, MA, formed one of the first labor unions in the US to protest working conditions and unfair company boardinghouse rent, at a time when unions had only recently been legalized and little to no legislation protected workers.
