May His Memory be for a Revolution
Righteous Torrence "TK" Hill (Chevy) was murdered on February 29, 2024 in Atlanta, GA. He was a Black Trans man and the founder and owner a full service salon dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community. His murder has received little to no MSM coverage. In these times, we cannot be silent. Please Reskeet.

What other forms of knowledge are too expensive to maintain, Duke U? Asking for a society.
sad news - Duke University decided to dump their herbarium, which has over 800,000 plant specimens, one of the largest among in America, and includes many type specimens of Lady Gaga ferns. What a shame. Please stop Duke admins for making this horrible mistake!!
