april fools day is actually the most sensible day of the year because it’s the only day on which people will read something on the internet and stop for a second to consider whether or not it’s actually true

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

They are called sundown towns and there are a LOT of them in the US.

https://sundown.tougaloo.edu/sundowntowns.php

This website has a clickable map where you can see suspected and confirmed sundown towns by state, as well as information about whether these attitudes are historical or current.

REBLOG FOR THE LINK

Please stay safe

REBLOG IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT BLOG YOU ARE THIS IS GONNA SAVE SOMEONE

I am poc too and i am scared for my LIFE when i go to the south. please stay safe.

I am not poc but I know this could save someone’s life. Please reblog and spread the message.

My obligatory addition to this every time it crosses my dash, because I know the link is definitely missing ones in my own (northern) state and there are some in this thread not on the above link either - thread by LeVar Burton with a LOT of replies from people naming the sundown towns near them:

Just in case someone is traveling, please be careful

AUTO REBLOG

White leftist suddenly against cultural preservation after learning it also includes that culture’s religion, many such cases

White leftist very aware of the consequences of colonialism suddenly unable to recognize colonial influence the moment it starts to affect spiritual beliefs

Anti-religion is also in like 60% of cases fundamentally just sanist arguments that hurt me more as a psychotic person than they hurt any religious hegemony, they just don’t realize they’re causing harm because they think they’re targeting people with the right labels.

good: the Church/religious body as an institution is a cudgel of absolute power that historically has been wielded to hammer down those who don’t conform. these structures have caused real harm to people

neutral: i have religious trauma that has given me a negative relationship with religion.

bad: what kind of CRAZY backwards fuck would let some INVISIBLE THING tell them what to do lol are they fucking stupid, can’t they see they can’t see anything? i’m happy i’m sooo much more advanced than they are lmao what kind of idiot believes in things they can’t see? i have to tell them their reality is fake! i have to!

i-was-today-years-old-when:

i learned that actor Danny Trejo has the most on-screen deaths of anyone in Hollywood history, with 65. Followed by Christopher Lee (60), Lance Henriksen (51), Vincent Price (41), Dennis Hopper (41), Boris Karloff (41), and John Hurt (39). (x)

Yet poor Sean Bean is stuck with the reputation for dying in every movie. Unfair.

Give him time, he still has many years of dying yet to come.

Also there’s the question of density vs quantity. If you make a hundred movies and die in 50, and someone else makes 30 movies and dies in 30, the first one has died more, but the second one has died more often per movie.

It’s the DPM ratio that really counts, IMO.

65/402 16% Danny Trejo
60/282 21% Christopher Lee
51/259 20% Lance Henriksen
41/211 19% Vincent Price
41/205 20% Dennis Hopper
41/204 20% Boris Karloff
39/209 19% John Hurt
33/117 28% Sean Bean

I’m so proud of the statistical side of tumblr for coming through on this.

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

Listen, this is serious.

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

Reblogging so you know which sites to totally avoid

Another inside tip from academia: Those papers in really expensive journals that are effectively inaccessible to anyone not in a university network? Depending on the discipline it’s very likely that same paper is on a “preprint” server somewhere, with no access restrictions.

Like if you want to read basically any physics, math, or CS paper, arXiv.org will have you covered, because everyone uploads their papers there before submitting to a journal (and generally updates it after peer review). I know all of my papers are on there. This is such common practice that journals have it baked into their licensing agreements that authors retain the right to upload their work to these places.

So the next time you get hit with that paywall, you may not even need sci-hub, just click the arxiv link on google scholar instead.

if for some reason none of this works, the old “send a email nicely asking for the paper to the author” is always a good trick. remember most scientists hate the commercialisation of scientific knowledge

Don’t mind me, just gotta share this with my bf so that he knows what websites to avoid

Many authors of papers are on ResearchGate! You can ask for papers there, if they don’t just post a copy to download. If they’re associated with a college, you can usually find their email addresses in the department directory, also.

#i’d rather he physically get sliced in half. but this is kind of nice

I saw a post that said it needs to drop to 145 or so to trigger a margin call (like what happened to the Dukes in Trading Places).

Unlikely, but a fun thing to dream for.
