I hang on to my water molecules for an average of 99 years. Lake Superior is 191 years. Translation for humans = don’t put stuff in the Great Lakes (your freshwater supply) Clean water is life 🌊🌊

The unusual design works in person, but perhaps the aesthetics perhaps don't photograph well. The long, arching top, so far toward the viewer, really got me thinking about stretching the bounds with design choices. 🌳#bonsai

I'll take the data's word for it -- and I've never for a millisecond regretted becoming a father and raising my two kids -- but brother, nothin' made me feel dumber and more mentally messed up than being a dad. Eventually you get wisdom out of it, but it works like an 18-year brain-ectomy.

america's reactionaries would love nothing more to nullify the reconstruction amendments and render them a dead letter of the constitution. this was as true in 1873 as it is today.

i think it is a testament to the inherent radicalism of the reconstruction amendments that the supreme court’s main project with regards to them has been to limit and weaken their impact on american society.
