It’s organized by category (so it’s not as overwhelming as it sounds) and there’s an LGBT section!

Been looking for more listings like this, thank you!!

LOL man.

never forget white people did nothing first neither the best, they sleep and eat false propaganda,

Ugh, why the shit does that have to turn into a race thing? Why does EVERYTHING have to turn into a race thing?

i have heard of precisely zero non-european explorers ever in my life, and that fucking sucks. this exhibit is amazing and i need to learn more.

That boat is a frickin aircraft carrier comparatively. Holy crap. And no. Never heard a peep.

Zhenghe went to over 40 countries in Asia and Africa and probably went even further, but I didn’t encounter that in history books before. He brought gifts from China to every country he went to and everyone loved him. It was just like “Hey, I’m here with a water-helicarrier and a gift,” and the kings of every country were lilke “holy shit son well here have a giraffe.” There are paintings depicting him leading a giraffe as well. Check him out guys, he’s really cool

That is so awesome. Fuck western history. This is the real shit.

I only heard about Zheng He when I took a Chinese History class in college. He wasn’t even mentioned in my Asian History class. Western students miss out on an enormous amount of history that is ignored or whitewashed in our textbooks. It’s a travesty.

And the best bit about Zheng He for me is that he was a Hui Muslim by birth (if not so much when he grew up).

Do pedophiles count? Just wondering

Controversy in the chicken/pigeon community…

Most social birds do stuff like this. They like to mimic other birds to show that they are similar and not a threat. Kinda like sharing hobbies or other interests. It’s how they make friends.

Controversy avoided…for now?

Fun fact - due to the way some pigeon breeds have been selectively bred, this behavior isn’t learned - it’s how they move! They can’t help it, this is the natural way they walk. Notice the chicken like body shape in these birds!

“LGBT people who have religious trauma are valid” and “be aware that if you denounce and insult all religion as a whole because of your religious trauma especially if it was based in Christianity is a very dangerous slope to antisemitism and islamophobia” are two ideas that can both exist

this is a fun post because people will say how many they have in the tags then you get to figure out which ones.
