So we want to bring you an interesting read every weekday evening to help transport you somewhere else.
We’ll be keeping an eye on new longreads and digging back into the archives for some classics.
A lovely look at people who do important work quietly. Meet the man who has spent a lifetime saving seeds – and scattering them around the US.
(Down East, approx 19 mins reading time)
He has donated specimens from his collection to researchers at the USDA-administered National Plant Germplasm System, sold them to seed companies like Fedco, and distributed them worldwide through print and online platforms, some of which he’s been instrumental in launching. His work, which he calls the Scatterseed Project, has been covered in multiple books and one Emmy-nominated PBS documentary, and it’s earned him something like icon status within the seed-saving subculture. But these days his collection is dwindling. In part for lack of funding and staff, Bonsall hasn’t kept up with the cycle of replanting needed to regenerate new seeds. And he isn’t getting any younger. “I’m losing stuff right and left,” he said. “I’m in danger of losing everything. And time is of the essence.”

Movie power? More like political power.
It’s sad.
@Fabio Dillon: You’re sad.
@Ron North: There has been a 620% rise in web search’s for hotels in Wakanda. Haha
@Fabio Dillon: You’re a clown
@Anton Friendo: What was the figure before the movie? Are we talking about 620% of zero?

Is the film supposed to herald an actual Wakanda?
There are plenty of African countries without a colonial past, and still among the poorest in the world with a corrupt elite.
South Africa and Zimbabwe back in native hands with the strongest economies in the continent. Now broken basket cases.
But by all means let this film signal empowerment.
Just another exercise in making the liberal elite feel good about themselves.
@Ó Connmhaigh: Calm down you silly tw@t, it’s not supposed to herald anything. It’s a movie of a comic strip.
@Ó Connmhaigh:
Name them.
I’ll wait.
@Ó Connmhaigh: The reason Wakanda remained uncolonised is that a giant meteorite made of magic metal landed there, and jumpstarted an advanced technology. The idea is that an African continent with a technological edge would have retained its resources and its diverse cultural heritage, rather than becoming the economic victim of the colonial powers. Wakanda is an Africa that wasnt ravaged by external greed and inhumanity. And thus it is the best kind of fantasy: a golden age. See also the Land of Saints and Scholars, Camelot, Middle Earth etc.
That clear it up for you? Or did you mean to imply that Africans are subhuman and thus incapable of an advanced society, which is what I suspect is more likely to be your reprehensible point.
@Ó Connmhaigh: for gods sake. It’s a movie, leave your brain at the door and collect it on the way back out.
@Ó Connmhaigh: The only African country who has never been colonized by Europeans is actually Ethiopia. But It still had been occuped by Italy twice, and suffered from numerous Occidental destabilisation attempts so that this country had to remains really closed to exterior with Cuba since early 20th century. Also, you have to know Ancient Egypt was actually black, it is now an actual fact well-known by scientific community thanks to Cheick Anta Diop metholody ( another black ) which is currently used to identify race of non-recognizable dieds around the world. Thank you bye!
@Ó Connmhaigh:
‘There are plenty of African countries without a colonial past’
Still waiting for the list (surprised* face)
*not surprised

Dreadful movie!
@Red Ruskie: Spike Lee direct?
Great film.
One of the worst criticisms that can be given to a film is ‘forgettable’. And this movie is exactly that, forgettable. The movies that Hollywood etc are churning out these days are awful. Thank God for ’3 billboards Outside……’ or Netflix originals because otherwise I would just buy an X-box.
I believe the movie is actually good but the hijacking of marvel movies and comic books with social justice agendas is really starting to hurt the superhero business. Marvel introduced a lot of SJW characters…a female Thor…a female Iron Man a new Ms Marvel who is Muslim…a lesbian latina superhero called America Chavez…oh and they turned one of my favourite X Men…Iceman into a homosexual…who knew Bobby was gay?? But the comics have all been steadily declining to the point that Marvel are cancelling these SJW comics…it seems lesbians, trans and feminists dont read comics…who would have guessed. It is ridiculous though. Just tell the damn story…Black Panther is awesome enough of a character without having to make him the ultimate Black Lives matter poster boy!!!
what the hell is Black Painter?
@purple rain: a panther that is black
Crap Movie

All these hate just because black panther is making alot of sales? Forgettable? You haters are just bunch of rotten pigs and soft like baby’s shit! Black panther is breaking records in Europe, Asia and south America, it has pop culture ingredient that is lacking in avartar.
@5 dimensional kid:
Baby shit? That’s a new for me. I’m glad you brought up the word ‘shit’ because that’s how I would describe this lazy attempt at entertainment. And I’m glad you also mentioned ‘pigs’ because just like pigs, the black panther stinks. Goodbye my love xxx
