Tiny Apocalyptic Time Tip 
If you too feel uneasy about
the state of the world,
and you too worry about losing access to one of the greatest knowledge treasure of the internet,
Know that you can download an
offline copy of Wikipedia!
Here's how 
1. Download the free and open source software Kiwix (this will be your reader): https://kiwix.org/en/applications/
2. If you want smaller versions of Wikipedia, you can download them within Kiwix.
Within the app, go to "Categories" in the menu on the left, then browse to a topic/version you want. Scroll to the bottom for Wikipedia mini, for example. Click on it then click "Download" on the right 
3. Once you have downloaded a database, click on "Opened" on the left > database you want to search > "Open Main Page" on the right.
4. You can use the Search field on the upper-right to find topics like on online Wikipedia! 
5. If you want the full English version of Wikipedia (110GB), you might want to download it from the torrent file instead. Install a torrent client of your choice (I use Transmission).
Then, go to this page, click on "Download - 109.89 GB" blue button on the first result (size may vary overtime), then select "Torrent file": https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&category=wikipedia
6. Once you have the torrent file, open it with your torrent client to start the download. This is BIG! Be patient! 
7. Once the download is completed, open your Wikipedia `.zim` file with Kiwix!
8. Magic! 
Extra Tip: You can download many other awesome knowledge files from the Kiwix Library! Personally, I also got the iFixit knowledge base! 
#Florida students are giving up Saturdays to learn #BlackHistory lessons their schools don’t teach
By KATE PAYNE

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — "Buried among Florida’s manicured golf courses and sprawling suburbs are the artifacts of its slave-holding past: the long-lost cemeteries of enslaved people, the statutes of #Confederate soldiers that still stand watch over town squares, the old #plantations turned into modern subdivisions that bear the same name. But many students aren’t learning that kind of Black history in Florida classrooms.
"In an old wooden bungalow in Delray Beach, Charlene Farrington and her staff gather groups of teenagers on Saturday mornings to teach them lessons she worries that public schools won’t provide. They talk about #SouthFlorida’s #Caribbean roots, the state’s dark history of #lynchings, how #segregation still shapes the landscape and how #grassroots #activists mobilized the #CivilRights Movement to upend generations of oppression.
[...]
"When Sulaya Williams’ eldest child started school, she couldn’t find the comprehensive instruction she wanted for him in their area. So in 2016, she launched her own organization to teach Black history in community settings.
"'We wanted to make sure that our children knew our stories, to be able to pass down to their children,' Williams said.
"Williams now has a contract to teach Saturday school at a public #library in Fort Lauderdale, and her 12-year-old daughter Addah Gordon invites her classmates to join her.
"'It feels like I’m really learning my culture. Like I’m learning what my ancestors did,' Addah said. 'And most people don’t know what they did.'"
