Almost 20 years later, I remain deeply committed to advocating for what is right. Moments like this shaped my journey and remind me why I continue to speak up for those whose voices deserve to be heard. Happy International Women’s Rights Day. #InternationalWomensDay2026

Therefore, America belongs to all who call this hemisphere home. From North America to Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, our histories, cultures, and people are interconnected. We are America. Somos América. Nous sommes l’Amérique. Nou se Amerik. 🌎✊🏾.
America is for Americans.

10 facts about Thales of Miletus (the man who asked nature its own questions).

Bonus: According to Diogenes Laertius, Thales died watching a gymnastic contest, worn down by heat, thirst, and age. A philosopher to the end: observing the world until his last breath.
62
When asked what was most difficult, Thales answered: to know oneself. What was easiest? To give advice. How should one live well? By never blaming others for what we do ourselves.
54
Despite his influence, none of Thales’ writings survive, his legacy lived through students and successors (which we will learn more about in other threads).
41
Thales showed philosophy could be practical: he once cornered the olive oil market to prove wisdom wasn’t useless.
31
He introduced geometry to Greece after studying in Egypt.
29
Thales successfully predicted a solar eclipse in 585 BCE, blurring the line between philosophy and science.
29
He believed the universe was alive and ordered, not chaotic or ruled by caprice.
41
Thales claimed that water is the fundamental substance (archê) of all things.
35
He rejected mythological explanations and searched for natural causes behind reality.
38
Thales (c. 624–546 BCE) is widely considered the first Western philosopher.
