USPS could make more money if they put post offices in airports so instead of throwing something out that you forgot was in your bag you could mail it home.

there's a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn't and the park service keeps thinking it's dead and then it keeps blooming! well they're removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they've said it's finally time for stumpy to go and they're going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they're also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral

someone brought it flowers today

STUMPY MY BELOVED!!!!

For added context on what rehabilitating the area means: there are structural issues with the Tidal Basin seawall that cause flooding like this independent of rainfall. Big portions of the sidewalk in Stumpy’s section are regularly submerged, which is bad for the land and the trees themselves, not to mention an accessibility issue for visitors.

It’s sad that Stumpy and many other trees in the area will need to be cut down, but it will ensure the continued survival of the other trees in the area, and Stumpy himself will live on in his cuttings!

I believe Stumpy will be taken to the national arboretum and his clones will return to the tidal basin after the rebuilding.

Someone left him a bottle of bourbon as an offering.

The Japanese Embassy came to pay him honor this week.

Stumpy and his cohort are part of the original gift from Japan more than 100 years ago, and many have lived this long bc the National Parks takes care of them. Normally the trees live about 40-50 years.

sorry for calling CPS on your family but I noticed you let your 5 year old scroll through tiktok on an ipad

saw an ant on the bus today, what a horrible fate. moved an unfathomable distance from everything you've ever known because of forces you could never possibly understand. no matter how long you follow the pheromone trail you laid you'll never find your way home.

Ppl will be like “end the stigma around mental illness uwu” but still judge you if you’re unemployed or single or not completely self-sufficient or healthy or perfectly groomed or still live with parents and don’t see the hypocrisy in that whatsoever

"defend your thesis" why are you attacking my thesis

[recoverr-deactivated20220605]

sending out big love to any of you who’ve ended a relationship of any kind, for whatever reason and are going thru it!!! whether you miss this person or not and however u feel about them or how long it’s been, it’s never easy to let go of someone who once played a major role in our lives and deal with the memories we made. it’s ok if you’re still dealing with it¨& still learning how to cope!! it’s ok to accept that people are irreplaceable and yet remind urself that there are more people to meet and to love in the future. things aren’t always black & white and it doesn’t mean u or them are a horrible person. sometimes it doesn’t work out. ily!
