On @historicallyblack, we’re building a “people’s museum” to showcase the objects that reflect how black history shaped you and your family’s own lives.Send a photo of an object and tell us the story behind it.
You guys are really smart about this science stuff, but I know New York. Y’all need me.

Did you know Costco makes vodka? Leigh's fabulous south Florida aunt and uncle do.
[Cutting between two on-the-scene interviewees in imitation of a TV newscast. The first interviewee has dark skin, is wearing a white v-neck tshirt and camouflage bucket hat, and is identified as “Troy “T-Roy” Greene. The second interviewee has lighter skin, has a dark undercut slicked back, gage earrings, and is wearing a grey and white striped button down with a white undershirt underneath. Dramatic news music is playing.]
Casual Pokemon Go Player: So my homeboy who actually told me about Tindr–what’s up Ray Ray–um, he told me to get this like Pokey-man’s app right here, so I went and got it. And it’s got these cool little characters like, um, dinosaurs and ducks and sh*t, you know.
Pokemon Go Enthusiast: [agitated] Then, um, this guy shows up, and he starts calling the Pokemon by the wrong names, I don’t know, just on purpose to patronize me, making fun of me. I don’t know what his deal was. Uh, he called Balbasaur–
[Split screen begins showing pictures of each Pokemon mentioned with the headline “Pokemania sets fans into frenzy: Lure modules may bring out the ‘mons but also the crazies.”]
Casual player: That’s onion turtle!
Enthusiast: –Geodude–
Casual player: Punchy rock
Enthusiast: –Meowth–
Casual player: That cat with them long-ass arms!
Enthusiast: –Ekins–
Casual player: Purple shit.
Enthusiast: He called Diglet–
Casual player: That’s floor sh*t right there.
Enthusiast: And Dougtrio–
Casual player: That’s three floor sh*ts!
Enthusiast: He knew Pikachu, but everybody knows Pikachu.
Casual player: Oh yeah that’s Pikachu right there.
Enthusiast: He called Weepinbell–
Casual player: Oh, that’s almost a pear.
Enthusiast: Weedle–
Casual player: Party weiner
Enthusiast: Beedrill–
Casual player: Everybody know that big dick bee.
Enthusiast: Bees don’t even have dicks! [Approaching camera aggressively] It’s a stinger!
@teaforlupin omg
oh boy help me
Seen on I-95. @help-mywife
As a person with a liberal arts degree who basically has never worked in the field for which she studied, I submit to you that Patty Tolan could potentially hold at the very least a Bachelor’s in American History.
Statistically, Black women are the most educated, degree-holding group in America, and STEM degrees are not the only ones that matter.
She could also potentially be an autodidact, but there’s no reason she has to be.
STEM degrees are not the only ones that matter. Those of us with advanced degrees who are underemployed know this. Hell, several STEM degree holders are also underemployed.
Picture Patricia Tolan’s Master thesis on the history of capital punishment in New York being how she identified that ghost in the subway and tell me that isn’t fucking awesome.
She might also have an MA as an architecture historian, which is how she knows so much about specific buildings and their histories
ok but
architecture historian patty tolan predicting the kind of specters that might show up based on the age of the building
architecture historian patty predicting where most ghost activity will be based on which areas are undergoing extreme gentrification, all that ‘renovating’ stirs up a lot of angry ghost energy
patty knowing the escape routes because she’s familiar with the style of architecture and can get everyone out if the ghost gets too hostile
patty being really concerned over the amount of damage their equipment can do to historic structures (and holtz tinkering with it to make them do less damage in the physical world and more to ghosts because she cares about her gf)
patty geeking out when one of the more destructive technologies reveals the original facade of a cool building behind a soulless modern cover
patty being able to calm ghosts down by showing homeowners and renters and landlords what updates to the structure probably got the ghost mad and advising them to get rid of it because its not in the right style anyways
patty going to the archives and doing initial research of a ghost because the archives are cool and its nice to have her hands on original source material again, amazing to be actually using her degree, even if its for something weird and a little scary
edit: forgot their necklaces!
