The Burning of Pennsylvania Hall What our Quaker ancestors can teach us about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Pennsylvania Hall officially opened its doors on May 14, 1838, welcoming all Philadelphians, regardless of race, sex, or status.

The “temple to free discussion” stood just four days before a mob, enraged by the politics of “race-mixing” and women and men speaking together equally, burned it down.

The way touch me not plant's (Mimosa pudica) leaves fold up when touched.

Fun fact:
All tortoises are turtles - but not all turtles are tortoises

- The term "turtle" is used to describe ALL species of the order Testudines, regardless of whether they are land-dwelling or water-dwelling

Exclusive: The Army is putting mental health back in the closet Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll shows he is fully onboard with turning back the clock on progress in the military and a simple memo stigmatizes mental health once again

I got a memo from the Army Secretary that waives mental health exams for most soldiers being kicked out of the service under punitive chapters. It again stigmatizes mental health care and increases the likelihood of suicide and homelessness in the veteran community. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
