So many brilliant Black women scientists. RIP Dr. West.

This black-and-white studio portrait from the early 1900s shows Raden Adjeng Kartini (1879–1904), the groundbreaking Javanese noblewoman, educator, and advocate for women’s rights whose letters and activism became a cornerstone of Indonesian feminism and national awakening. In the image, the young Kartini appears in a classic head-and-shoulders composition, positioned slightly off-center against a softly lit, plain backdrop accented on the left by dark, feathery palm or bamboo fronds that add a subtle tropical touch. Her dark hair is elegantly pulled back into a neat traditional Javanese bun adorned with a small white flower or ornamental accessory, framing a youthful face with smooth skin, and a calm, thoughtful expression—her gaze directed slightly to the right of the viewer, lips gently parted in a poised, intelligent demeanor that conveys quiet determination and introspection. She wears a delicate white kebaya-style blouse of fine woven fabric featuring intricate lace trim and subtle embroidery along the high collar and front, evoking the refined elegance of Javanese aristocratic dress at the turn of the 20th century.

Raden Adjeng Kartini was a pioneering Javanese noblewoman, educator & advocate for #womensrights & education whose short life and powerful letters made her a national heroine and enduring symbol of Indonesian women’s emancipation.

She was born #OTD in 1879 and it's Kartini Day in #Indonesia.

Headline reads, "Rescue worker medical cannabis employment protections bill heads to Maryland governor’s desk." Background image shows cannabis leaves, dropper bottles, capsules, and a jar arranged on a flat surface.

🚒💨 Maryland rescue workers are one step closer to job protections for lawful medical cannabis use!

Lawmakers sent the bill to the governor’s desk for approval. No one should have to choose between their medicine and their career.

Should they pursue higher education at a traditional four-year institution, potentially accumulating thousands of dollars in student-loan debt? Or should they attempt to advance their careers without a college degree?

But, there’s a third option: attending a community college.
