The Florida Department of Education provided a list of 16 former slaves they say "benefited" from skills they learned in slavery & used to support themselves after being freed. They were wearing about most of them. Those who did spend time in slavery did not learn their skills as slaves. 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗧. 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗼𝗻 - did not gain his skills until after he was freed at age 9. 𝗟𝗲𝘄𝗶𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗿 - A museum dedicated to Latimer states he was born to two self-liberated formerly enslaved parents. Self-educated, he worked as an inventor, participating in the development of the telephone, incandescent lighting & other inventions. 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻 - The Museum of the American Revolution describes Forten as a Black entrepreneur born to free parents. He served on privateer ships during the Revolutionary War and became a wealthy sailmaker 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝗿𝘆 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿 - Biography.com and several other sites state there is no information indicating that Blair was enslaved. He invented a corn planter and a cotton planter, becoming the second Black person to earn a U.S. patent. 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗖𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲 - the FL Dept of Ed said he was a shoemaker & shipowner born into slavery who escaped to freedom in 1781. According to PaulCuffe.org, operated by the Westport Historical Society, Cuffe was born in 1759 to an emancipated slave. Having worked on whaling boats starting at age 14, he established a shipping business in Massachusetts. 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘀 - the Dept said he was a fisherman born into slavery. The North Carolina Museum of History states that Chavis was born into a free Black family in North Carolina, fought in the Revolutionary War and became an educator. “They just threw out a bunch of names to make it seem like something good came of (slavery),” said Andrew Spar, president of the Florida Education Association teachers union. “The reality of it is, the facts don’t back up what they are saying.” Parents, don't let your kids go to Florida schools if you don't want them to be ignorant laughingstocks.

@kaitrooney No lol I have a son. I type fast sometimes and well this happens. No edit button on twitter 😂 wishful thinking on the hopeful next one though!

@gilbertramirez Okay I am admittedly always out of the loop - but I didn’t realize you had a daughter !?! 🥰💖

Really annoys me when people say I'm babysitting when It's just me and my daughter. It's not babysitting it's parenting. Also when my wife's friends say to her I'm "such a good dad for taking the kids" no, I'm literally doing my job as a parent. .

This particular shark is believed to predate the existence of the United States of America. A team of scientists discovered a cluster of Greenland sharks and concluded that some of them are the oldest known vertebrates alive today. These sharks inhabit the frigid waters of Greenland and were the subject of a study conducted in 2017, which examined 28 individuals. The eldest shark in the study measured 16.5 feet (five meters) in length and was estimated to be approximately 392 years old. The researchers established, with a "95 percent certainty," that the shark's age fell within the range of 272 to 512 years, with a most probable age of around 390. While the exact reasons behind their exceptional lifespan remain unclear, it is believed that the arctic temperatures they inhabit (plunging below 29 degrees Fahrenheit) contribute to their longevity. These low temperatures result in reduced body temperatures and slower metabolisms, thereby minimizing damage to the sharks' tissues. Additionally, their growth rate is exceptionally slow, with less than half an inch (a centimeter) gained per year, suggesting a significantly longer lifespan compared to other vertebrates. Furthermore, the females of this species exhibit delayed sexual maturity, only beginning to mate at the age of 156.

So we’re clear: The Supreme Court ended affirmative action yesterday by saying you CAN’T discriminate by helping a minority group, then turned around today and said you CAN discriminate by hurting them.

So, let me get this straight: yesterday the Supreme Court ruled colleges CAN’T discriminate on the basis of race but today they ruled that a web designer CAN discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community? Sorry, but this Court is so freaking messed up.

Came across a TikTok of the guy who opened a special needs barber shop and it’s so precious🥹 the patience and care is overwhelming

It took a team to bring the T. rex back to life. The artists at @ILMVFX created stunning animation, coupled with cutting-edge software, live-action photography, and the famed “Dinosaur Input Device” to make this scene a reality. #JurassicPark30

Twitter dorks who are roasting David for not being muscular enough, this is how Cavill looked when he auditioned for Superman.

@omg_its_daniii Wild man. Two similar yet wildly different endings. If only the CEO decided safety was important, more than his own hubris.

Roman Reigns has NEVER betrayed any of his brothers. AT ALL.

the whole "zoos and aquariums are animal cruelty" mentality among "animal rights activists" needs to stop
