Mary Wilson, the first African American senior zookeeper at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, 1966.

We should be blaming OG Radiolab for a lot more stuff. I loved it at the time, I'll cop to it, but it normalized a really terrifying view of technology that glorified innovation and discussed ethics in a breezy philosophical way, not "JESUS CHRIST HOW DO WE PROTECT PEOPLE?"

Please god let wearing HOKAs become seen as fashionable. I’ll still do it regardless, because I walk at least 10 miles a day and I prefer that to be as pain-free as possible, but I love style so much and I always feel like I’m letting the look down.
