We forget that professional sports such as baseball and football were originally integrated and then *became* segregated in response to White fans and, in some instances, White owners and White players.
Frederick Douglass's youngest son, Charles, was 23 years old when he started working for the Freedmen’s Bureau in 1867.
He was also a fervent baseball player and an organizer of a Black DC baseball club called the Alerts. 🗃️

i could not believe this was true -- that they really stopped testing milk today -- but i looked it up and it is.
Dr. Josephine Baker fought for milk testing in lower Manhattan over a century ago, where babies were 7 times more likely to die than WWI US soldiers in the trenches. Milk was often adulterated with chalk and germ-y water. Today the FDA stopped testing milk due to lack of staff. Shame on you, Trump.

Academia is cool because if you're doing it right, every paper you published in the last 3 years feels inadequate now that you understand the topic better, but it'll take 3 years to get out the version where you get it more right, and you get to do that until one day you die! Isn't that cool
