Sorry

Being able to celebrate the great things that a person does/has done does not negate or should stop people from talking about the aweful things that have also been done.
I didn’t know that Rich engaged in transmysogyny. And now I have mixed feelings about her passing. For all her work on inclusion, there was one group that wasn’t allowed inside the tent..

Offline, I’ve been having an Antarctica moment – to coincide with the centenary of Scott’s last expedition, the Oates Museum (as in Titus ‘I am just going outside and may be some time’ Oates) has had a revamp which I’ve visited, and I’ve read Cherry, by Sara Wheeler ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cherry-A-Life-Apsley-Cherry-Garrard/dp/0099437538/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333641051&sr=8-1 ), a biography of Apsley Cherry-Garrard, one of the explorers.

I’ve always been a bit obsessed with these guys, and the more I read and find out about them, the more humbled I am by their endurance and what they went through.

Other interesting things about this:
