Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Boston Schools Use Modernized Maps That Enlarge Africa, Depict World Accurately

In the original map, Greenland appears bigger than Africa. In reality, it is 14 times smaller.

Public schools in Boston are using a new global map to help show students what the world really looks like.

Boston Public Schools, a network that includes 125 institutions, announced Thursday that instead of just using the widely popular, over 400-year-old Mercator projection map, which grossly distorts the size of the world’s countries and continents, classrooms will be incorporating the Peters projection map because it is more accurate.

👇🏾👇🏾 The Peters projection map shows the world’s countries and continents at their true scale.

“Overall, we hope students gain a deeper understanding of the importance of researching and analyzing multiple perspectives in order to develop their own conclusions about the world around them,” BPS’ History and Social Studies Director Natacha Scott said. “By exploring geography, we also hope to increase an awareness of the relationship between themselves to other countries, communities, cultures, and individuals around the world.”

First of all I’d like to admit  that no map is 100% accurate (though some are more accurate than others). But the ISSUE here is that the Mercator map doesn’t even get the size of Africa and South America right to the naked eye. Whichever map they use, people need to keep in mind just how many countries can fit into the African continent. 

Africa is enormous, and people still somehow call it a country. I personally hate that!

The Peters projection represents a more area accurate map, which makes other continents more proportional to one another.

And what I like the most is that white people triggered by accurate map projections!!!!

A new mural popped up in Philadelphia. I love my city.

If you are neutral on issues that are resulting in the murders of innocent people, you have blood on your hands. There’s no place for you if you lack the conviction to identify and denounce hate.

These truths are so deep. It makes me sick.

Aretha Franklin, The Queen Of Soul, Has Died At 76

The music icon was the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and won 18 Grammy Awards.

Aretha Franklin, the undisputed Queen of Soul and a music legend who enjoyed a career longer than many of her successors, died Thursday. She was 76.

Her publicist, Gwendolyn Quinn, confirmed her death to BuzzFeed News in a statement, saying she died at her home in Detroit at 9:50 a.m. local time. The cause of death was advanced pancreatic cancer of the neuroendocrine type.

“In one of the darkest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriate words to express the pain in our heart,“ her family said in a statement. “We have lost the matriarch and rock of our family.”

The family also said they had been "deeply touched” by the outpouring of love and support they had received in recent days, after word first emerged the singer had fallen ill.

“We have felt your love for Aretha and it brings us comfort to know that her legacy will live on,” they said.

No other vocalist has reached the heights Franklin did during her monumental career. She is the most charted female singer in Billboard history, the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the winner of 18 Grammy Awards, and the “greatest singer of all time,” according to Rolling Stone.
