9 Portraits That Prove Feminism Really Is For Everyone

💜✊🏿 #wakandaforever ✊🏿

chadwickboseman It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman. 

Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV. 

⁣A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. ⁣⁣

It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther. ⁣He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side. ⁣

The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time. ⁣⁣

Are you trying to find ways to stay cool during the heat waves this summer? Here’s how the painted reed frog (Hyperolius marmoratus) survives when it gets too hot: It rests motionless on a leaf in a tightly-wound position which helps it retain body moisture and reduce its exposure to the Sun. It can also enter a hibernation-like state, known as aestivation, in which its metabolism rate drops by 50%! And special cells in its skin, called iridophores, reflect sunlight, resulting in a silvery-white color and acting as a sunscreen. You can spot this frog in parts of Africa including Gabon, Mozambique, and South Africa.

Do you think we should have gun laws as strict as Japan? I heard they were very strict with guns there, even stricter than here. I wish we had very rare gun deaths here, like in Japan.

I do, but unless the USA deals with its guns as well as Canada, we'll never get to the same kind of numbers as Japan has. Any gun control measures we adopt will help reduce crime, shootings and deaths, but with the USA's loose borders and ease of access to guns with few if any restrictions in many states, means there's always going to be some guns smuggled across the border.

Japan has the benefit of being somewhat isolated from other arms heavy countries (i.e. USA)

So, yes, but the USA has to start doing it too, and given the long and specific history the USA has with guns and culture, I'm not too optimistic and major gun control shift is going to happen outside of a few progressive states.

Love is love!

Why They’re Called ‘Wet Markets’ — And What Health Risks They Might Pose

A “wet market” in Wuhan, China, is catching the blame as the probable source of the current coronavirus outbreak that’s sweeping the globe.

Patients who came down with disease at the end of December all had connections to the Hunan Seafood Market in Wuhan China. The complex of stalls selling live fish, meat and wild animals is known in the region as a “wet market.” Researchers believe the new virus probably mutated from a coronavirus common in animals and jumped over to humans in the Wuhan bazaar.

This kind of market is not just an Asian phenomenon. There are similar markets all over the world — places where fish, poultry and other animals are slaughtered and butchered right on the premises.
