Holy shit.

In the fourth grade, we had to pick an inventor, dress like the inventor, and explain our invention. I decided to pick something off the wall (instead of, like, a light bulb), so I ended up doing my little presentation as George Crum. I remember reading about his work as a chef, learning about his shortness with customers, and the interaction (possibly apocryphal, although Crum certainly invented the potato chip) with the diner who kept complaining about his home fries being too thick.

I literally made a presentation as this man, and used a few websites and a couple encyclopediae (yeah, I’m old) to source all the data. I certainly know more than most people do about George Crum.

The point of all this is that, until I came across this post on Tumblr, I had absolutely no idea he was black. I’ve known who Crum was for over twenty years and never knew his race, because no website or encyclopedia thought it was worth mentioning.

Erasure is a fucking disease.

Wait @aurric if you had to dress like him for the presentation, wouldn’t you have had to look up a picture reference? How would you not know he was black?

It was 1995. I found encyclopedia articles and some old websites that referenced him as a chef, but never as a Black or Native man.

I dressed up like a chef.

reminder of the day: achilles’ name literally means pain

I’m here for the etymology so,

Ἀχιλλεύς > Achilles

The name came from the ancient Greek word achos (ἄχος) which means pain/sadness/stress/anxiety

The literal meaning of the name is “the one who has the urge for achos”(«αυτός που έχει τάση για ἄχος»)

Achos > achilos > Achilles (ἄχος > ἀχίλος > Ἀχιλλεύς)

Previously, there was a tendency to associate the name with the Acheloos (Αχελώος) and Acheron (Αχέρων) rivers, where the root Ach- would be associated with the concept of “water” and perhaps have also cherished connotations.

Also I really didn’t need that reminder I’m going to cry in my corner

I literally just updated the post with more definitions!

Great minds think alike!! Thanks for that
