      Amazing. Being the largest flower or smelling like rotten meat is NOT the most interesting thing about Rafflesia! http://harvardmagazine.com/2017/03/colossal-blossom …pic.twitter.com/KOKjrzZo3w

      Also, note from management. I decided to talk more of things that fascinate me or are just fun.Not that I care less about politics or tech.

      Was talking about this from a friend from the Middle East recently. Sustained political & human crisis naturally consumes our attention. +

      And sometimes one feels it's disrespectful to talk about anything but politics because.. so many are in dire straits. Without options.

      But celebrating joy and curiosity doesn't mean abandoning political principles or concern. It just means... living. Despite it all.

      In many countries in the Middle East, and now in the US, I see a backlash to talking on social media out of the political context. I get it.

      Sometimes I feel it myself: how can you talk about *that* [insert frivolous or fun or interesting non-political thin] while all *this*?

          After years & years of it, though, it's taking a toll on non-subtle ways; and I don't feel like it's doing the more vulnerable good either.

          So, without abandoning concern and work about dire issues, I'm going to stop holding back on geek stuff and science and art and all.
