APOD: 2023 March 28 – A Multiple Green Flash Sunset

A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

Mathematician Emmy Noether was born #OTD in 1882. She made groundbreaking advances in abstract algebra, and her eponymous theorems articulated the deep connection between symmetries and conserved quantities in physics.

@briannawu got it. sounds like you're looking to be talked into it? GO FOR IT. i presume the EF adaptors wont cause any vignetting. if they work, no need for new glass IMO. glass is glass, as long as the image circle covers the sensor
@briannawu what are you hoping to gain by upgrading? the 5D IV is an astounding camera, regardless of age. I see you also want to stick with the EF mount

Instead of just listing a bunch of Black accomplishments to try to counter that lie, I want us to look at the language that US folk use to describe discoveries or inventions. It's dripping with racism and white centering.

Non-white people are invisible. They don't even count. When we say "discovered," we really mean discovered "for white people." This is baked into our language.

This "I only see white people" impacts people of all other races, but anti-Black racism is most egregious.

There's A LOT of discussion about content moderation right now and very little of it touches on the fact that we've all lived on the big social sites for the last decade-plus thanks to the massively exploitated labor of mostly-invisible moderation workers. The social web at scale wouldn't have happened without these laborers, who in addition to shit wages, have been exposed to literally every imaginable horror.

If we're remaking this world, let's do better on that front.
