End of an Era.

I went out and bought this, the Dec. 2023 issue of National Geographic. It's the last issue of this venerable institution that will appear on newsstands. 🧵

@straphanger @NatGeo indeed this is very sad. Never thought I'd see the day...

Since I'm thinking about it, let's talk about Ignorance. I have so many mixed thoughts on the subject. So, a little back story on me, for those who haven't already figured this out. My father was a pastor, I was raised extremely Conservative and religious, and while some of it struck me as a bit off, and I was certainly less Conservative than my parents, I was a good little girl and towed the party line. It wasn't until my little brother came out when he was 14, that my wake up call really began. Suddenly, it was personal, I love my little brother, how would he be going to Hell? If you start doubting one thing, then slowly you start doubting everything.

Because of this background, I do have empathy for what I consider true ignorance. For those who did not grow up in this environment, it can be really hard to understand how people can just blindly believe these things. They don't understand the cult like atmosphere that it truly is. All your media is this one thing, all your social circle are people that agree with you, you are quite literally in a bubble of propaganda. For me the combination of being around different kinds of people and factual education gave me the ability to see the truth, and it's something I still work on, with anything you consider fact, you should always leave a window open, there's always more to learn.

Sooo, if you read this far, What has been your experience with ignorance? What is something you've been ignorant about? Is willful ignorance actually a form of ignorance? Do you think there's any true ways to convince people they are missing out on the truth?

@RickiTarr Sadly, too many people close their ears and eyes and refuse to even see another viewpoint. They remain that way until the day they die. It's sad because the world has so much to offer. There is so much to explore in the universe, and those who continually close their minds, are missing out on so much.

I'm always willing to listen to the OTHER side, then it's up to me to weighs the pros and cons.

@RickiTarr Recently I wrote a blog about the loss of the ability to "discuss". It seems the prevailing view is, I'm right, you're wrong. End of discussion.

The collective noun for a group of ravens is an "unkindness".

A group of crows is a “murder.”

Watch out when a group of crows and ravens get together.

Sitting here in tears. Why? Because I just watched THE making of THE last Beatles song. To hear John's voice again so crystal clear.

If you didn't grow up with the Beatles or aren't currently a fan, then let me put it into words that ARMY can understand. It would be like decades later, 2 of the guys from BTS were no longer with us, but yet the other members got together and released a song and included them digitally. 💜😫💜

Let's start something new.

If you could ask BTS (or one member) a question, what would it be? I'm sure we could improve on any of the normal questions they get asked in repetitive interviews. 😏
