Since the #scientificname of a #species consists of two main components—#genus and #epitheton—#taxonomists describing #newspecies regularly face the question: what should I name my species after? Personally, I prefer an ecological characterization of the species via its #epithet. But scientists/celebrities are also frequently honored. The fact that it was now even an entire #televisionseries is a great anecdote, but has strict reference to nature work (BBC#BluePlanet)

A #century of #JamesBaldwin’s #prophetic #voice.
This #essay uses an #offensive #racial #epithet in #citing #JamesBaldwin’s #work. I choose to use it to underscore the important #insight that Baldwin meant to convey by using this #inflammatory #term.
