And if you ask the indigenous people of North America when this country was founded, they'd tell you there were cities, states and organized governments long before white people arrived. My point is: How we define "America" has always been determined by white people.

Herpetologists: we need to do scicomm and get people not to demonize snakes. You know, make them more relatable to people. Herp enthusiasts: Let’s give them silly names like snek and nope rope Herpetologists: NO NOT LIKE THAT

Hi Twitter, it's been awhile but I'm happy to announce that I'll be spending my summer at Petersburg National Battlefield! Do I know anything about the Civil War? No. Am I good at remembering history? Also no. But I'm excited to learn about the people of Petersburg.
