@MiraLazine love this!! any chance you can add a submission box? (With a section for source cited ofc :p). I'm sure there's a bunch out there that people might think of and want to add.
That's a good idea, thanks! I do have an email listed for now but I know not everyone would want to email someone random so I'll look into adding that in a bit
@MiraLazine also there's the possibility -- you may be at risk of getting flooded with submissions :p

Pretty accurate. My mom was very much invested in our education and contradicted a lot of this info when I was growing up so I learned the true facts.
Very cool
