My parents live in this town and the city legally can’t tear the tree down to build or anything because the tree has its own legal rights and they can’t do anything about it.
how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen
I love this story because this guy in the early 1800’s had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.
Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.
And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree it’s considered to have legally inherited the plot of land it’s inhabiting.
Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you don’t think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.

help save the bees!!
As many of you probably know, bees all over the world are dying off at an alarming rate. Without bees and other pollinators, at least a third of our food will be impacted drastically. That’s why it’s super important to help the bees in any way possible!
- don’t use insecticides (and buy ‘organic’ plants that haven’t been treated with pesticides)
- plant bee friendly plants, flowers, and food (see list below)
- sign petitions to ban the use of pesticides
- if you come across a bee that appears to be dying, mix a little bit of sugar and water, and place some in front of the bee (often a bee will just be super tired so this sugary drink will give it a boost of energy!)
- if you’re buying honey, buy local and raw honey
- weeds can be good! let clovers and dandelions live
- consider becoming a beekeeper
- make your own ‘bee-houses’!
Bee friendly plants:
- alder
- aster
- baby’s breath
- bee balm
- blackberries
- bluebell
- blueberries
- buttercup
- butterfly bush
- catmint
- catnip

Great interview on @npr about comedy, race and how funny Hari Kondabolu’s mother is (and not because of her Indian accent).
Shit
First we put watches in phones so that we don’t need to look at our watch, now we put our phones in watches so that we don’t need to look at our phones.
