[James Baldwin Quotes @quotesbybaldwin]

One discovers the light in the darkness, that is what darkness is for; but everything in our lives depends on how we bear the light. It is necessary, while in darkness, to know that there is a light somewhere. What the light reveals is danger, and what it demands is faith.

Have to share this lightning strike I was lucky enough to capture yesterday in slowmo. It looks like the shock starts at the top of the freedoms tower. Saw some alt angles on Reddit…so cool!!!! Always wanted to capture one like that…

The discovery of a 54,000-year-old child's tooth in the #Mandrin cave in south of France could challenge what we know about our #HomoSapiens ancestors and their contact with #Neanderthals!

“When you don't include the history, it becomes so easy to overlook or even dehumanize an entire population. If I had even known about the Chinese roots in Sacramento where I grew up, I think I might have felt differently”
