"Elisha Kent Kane, (born Feb. 3, 1820, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.—died Feb. 16, 1857, Havana, Cuba), American physician and Arctic explorer who in 1850 led an unsuccessful expedition to northwestern Greenland to search for the British explorer Sir John Franklin, missing since 1845."
"Walter White is one of the most important yet overlooked civil rights leaders of the 20th century. He played a key role in the Harlem Renaissance and led the NAACP to its zenith as its executive secretary. But what makes White stand out is the unusual method he used to achieve racial justice. His biggest secret? He was a biracial man who passed for white in order to help the NAACP investigate some of the greatest racial atrocities in post-Reconstruction America, helping to establish the organization as a veracious force for African-American justice and liberty."

This is pretty amazing to be honest.
Yesterday I put up a poll asking 1000 people to sign this petition demanding undocumented immigrants have the right to get a Driver's License.
296 people took the poll and 400 people also signed the petition. Everyone did what they said they would! How great is that! 😀
We're ~600 people shy of my goal. Will you be 1 of 600 and speak up for undocumented immigrants? Much love ❤️✊🏽

The worrisome thing is not that GoodRx is selling your confidential prescription information. The problem is that Facebook and Google are buying them.
Even more worrisome is that the fine is proportionally tiny, not even a slap on the wrist.

Today is the birthday of Charles Lenox Remond, orator and abolitionist.
"Charles Lenox Remond was born into an elite free Black family in Salem, Massachusetts. His parents, John and Nancy Lenox Remond, had been married by the Rev. Thomas Paul, a prominent African American minister and anti-slavery activist, in 1807. Nancy Lenox’s father was a veteran of the American Revolution, having fought with the Continental Army. John Remond had emigrated from the Dutch colony of Curacao as a young boy in 1798. In Salem, John Remond was first a barber and, then, with the assistance of his wife, he operated a successful catering business. The Remonds were also active abolitionists. John became a life-long member of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Association.
Charles, the eldest Remond child, began his career as a public speaker on behalf of the antislavery movement at the age of seventeen. A supporter of William Lloyd Garrison, in 1832, Remond began work as an agent for The Liberator, and later, the Weekly Advocate and the Colored American. He travelled throughout New England delivering antislavery lectures and drumming up financial support for abolitionist publications. In 1840, Remond gave a lecture at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London, where he was greeted by repeated applause.
After he returned to the United States sixteen months later, Remond suffered discriminatory Jim Crow practices. In 1842, he was the first African American to address the Massachusetts state legislature to protest racial discrimination on railroads and steamboats. Remond had a close relationship with his sister Sarah Parker Remond, who also enjoyed a successful career as an abolitionist speaker. During the 1850s, they often travelled together on the lecture circuit.
During the Civil War, Remond joined other black abolitionist men, including Frederick Douglass, in the recruitment of African American soldiers into the all-black Massachusetts Fifty-Fourth Regiment of the Union Army, led by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, a member of a prominent white abolitionist family from Boston.
After the war, Remond continued to deliver public lectures protesting racism. A staunch opponent of segregation of any kind, Remond joined the American Equal Rights Association in 1867. He embarked on his last lecture tour that year in western New York.
Charles Lenox Remond died in December 1873 at his home in Wakefield, Massachusetts and was buried at Harmony Grove Cemetery in Salem."

"At first glance, it seemed an absurd way to make traffic safer, and Mockus was ridiculed in the press for pursuing it. But gradually, by making fun of drivers and pedestrians who didn’t follow basic rules and celebrating those who did, the mimes managed to transform the entire traffic culture of the city, successfully infusing Bogotá’s streets with common sense — or, rather, a sense of the commons."

"Franke, who retired last August after 50 years of being the women's fencing coach at Temple, grew up in Harlem and had never participated in the sport until her senior year of high school. Needless to say, becoming a collegiate All-American, a college coach and an Olympian and leaving her professional home with legendary status after five decades was an unimaginable journey."

“Avian flu infected a girl recently. It also caused an outbreak at a mink farm. Scientists call it “incredibly concerning,” because it’s the first time that avian flu has spread so widely and so clearly in a mammal population. Virologists are calling it: ‘This is a clear mechanism for a 5H pandemic to start.’
Pandemic is a tricky word.
It’s become heavily politicized.” - Jessica Wildfire

A HS student to their TX school board, which is banning books:
“I’m not going to sit here and talk about the slippery slope that book banning leads to because I learned from a book, that I checked out from my school’s library, that I don’t need to resort to logical fallacy to make a point. I’m simply going to say that no government – and public school is an extension of government – has ever banned books, and banned information from its public, and been remembered in history as the good guys.”

1) Don't ask Black users to CW discussions of their own racism.
2) Don't be on a server where mods mistreat Black folk.
3) Support the mods on your own server, financially and otherwise.
4) Don't engage with sea lions that say "Mistreatment? Here? prove it!" There have been enough threads shared on Black folk receiving racism. Individually convincing each one is exhausting, and expecting that is a tactic of bad faith actors.

"The key amid this maze of manipulation is to step back and recognise your partner’s behaviour for what it is – to separate your own emotional responses from what’s really going on. If someone you love has narcissistic traits and it’s beginning to feel like they’re manipulating you, take distance and start a record of their behaviour. "
