According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway.  Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
Coming!

Water in St. Louis is nasty!! Last July i went kayaking at Creve couer and they yell at u for getting into the water (not my fault it was 90 degrees). They won't really say this but I'm pretty sure the reason you can't swim in any water in St. Louis Metro area is cuz its all so polluted. Which is sad!! and flooding is also a big problem here. we rly messed up our rivers cuz??? old yt ppl with egos thinking they can control nature??

This one is so hard! I realized that I pretty much never eat without distractions. Today during breakfast I tried to read instead of watch TV or look at my phone, and during lunch I talked to a friend. Eating kind of feels like a chore when I do it with a ton of distractions, but not being distracted is soooo hard give me the memes

I didn't actually change my windows or anything but during the winter storm i did buy heavy blackout curtains that allegedly also help with drafts n such. It makes me super sad how energy inefficient my apartment is - I can feel drafts coming in from under the doors and through the windows! and there's nothing i can (want) to do about it because its not my building!! this is a really big problem in st. louis in low income areas where most people have to rent. 

even if you're doubtful about the ability for large (national) elections or even state elections to make large-scale (structural) changes necessary to combat the ultimate evils of the world (jeff bezos?), i still strongly believe that voting is so important regardless, ESPECIALLy when we pair that with ongoing advocacy and accountability for our elected officials. despite the innumerable instagram infographics simplifying this topic, it'd be pretty easy to write a few books. but anyway, on a smaller scale i can participate in decision making by attending a town council meeting. i've always wanted to do that. is it like the meetings in parks and rec? i want to be just like leslie knope. 

I'm pretty sure watching bee movie counts for this? to be quite honest i'm not sure what i learned. that capitalism is bad? but i might have determined that the bee movie is actually a pro-capitalist endeavor. further analysis is needed.

sometimes i get so annoyed by how many times i have to go to empty stuff into compost instead of trash. which just shows how lazy i am and why it's so much more convenient for us to throw things into landfill instead of diverting waste! i've kind of been neglecting my compost bin ever since i started it and have been collecting in the freezer again so maybe i should go check on that.

the missouri river provides most of st. louis's water! how neat! the water here is so tasty mmmm
