Cosplayer Kiera Please!

Black women are taking over film right now and I am so fucking excited.

hell is right-clicking to save an image and accidentally clicking ‘email image’ and having to wait forty years for some email program you didn’t even know existed to rise from its slumber like some lovecraftian ancient god, meanwhile the fans on your laptop are preparing for takeoff and you stare dead-eyed as the rainbow spirals, spirals, spirals. you wait and suffer this cosmic karma. days pass. “just a few more seconds” you slur. your laptop freezes and the concept of time is no longer comprehensible. your family and friends forget your name and you fade from existence.

After a 20-minute flight over the city of New York, Stephen Wiltshire, diagnosed with autism, draws the whole town with only his memory.

Be alone. Eat alone, take yourself on dates, sleep alone. In the midst of this you will learn about yourself. You will grow, you will figure out what inspires you, you will curate your own dreams, your own beliefs, your own stunning clarity, and when you do meet the person who makes your cells dance, you will be sure of it, because you are sure of yourself.

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!!!!
