I swear when I was a child and saw the logo I thought this dude was oooooooooooooooolllllllllllldddddddddd. His face I recall crinkling with wrinkles in the TV ads when he smiled. But now he just looks normal, not ancient. Yeah he's got white hair but I'm pretty sure that's just those powdered wigs. Option 1: they made him look younger. Option 2: I am no longer 9 years old.

There was a Quaker named Benjamin Lay who was a fuckin GANGSTER on the abolition tip, check this shit out:
https://aeon.co/essays/the-abolitionist-benjamin-lay-was-a-hero-ahead-of-his-time
(Disclaimer, no clue how that publisher aeon.co behaves in a general sense, I read that article back in 2018 and my own thinking about what's important to say and how has evolved a lot since then. In other words I'm not commenting on the quality of the wider site cuz I don't know, but this was a cool article about a cool dude)
Aeon is a pretty serious publication that presents a place for publishing academic or academic adjacent thought for a wider audience. They'll have essays written by all kinds of people from all over the world, so your mileage may vary by article, but as far as reliable and trustworthy publishers go, they're an excellent organization.
Nice, thanks for cluing me in! Sounds like high time for me to go do some browsing over there again.
This is one of the coolest dudes I have ever read about. Holy fucking shit. Am I torqued?
From the article:
Bro was way ahead of his time and was not fucking around, ya love to see it.
What a cool dude. Thanks for sharing!
