I did, and it was through the forceful acquisition of land by the federal government, through him, which forced many Native tribes from their lands (remember the Trail of Tears?). He then took those lands, and had to immediately sell them by law.

Cleavers
Galium aparine

A very mild and gentle lymphatic. Promotes movement and drainage of stagnant or swollen lymph glands - with a specific affinity for the tonsils. Must be used fresh.

The entire plant is covered in tiny hooks (just like velcro) that stick to just about everything. Touching cleavers almost feels like it is covered in a sticky residue, but it is just the microscopic hooks latching on to you.

This is also an appetite suppressant. It was used by native peoples in the winter to stave off hunger to make food supplies last. Galium has been found in archaeological sites upwards of 4 thousand years ago in NE US

Things I Never Learned In High School

prettyredballoon:

dontcomecryingtome:

How to do taxes

What taxes are

How to vote

What political parties are

How to write a resume/cover letter/anything related to getting a job

How to write a check/balance a check book

Anything to do with banking

How to do loans for college

How to jump start a car or other basic emergency things

How to buy a car or house

but I’m so glad I know the fucking pythagorean theorem

thank you

THIS. FUCKING THIS.

Everyone can thank “No Child Left Behind” and the Bush administration, who pushed standardized test performance over practicality. Or, everyone just went to some shitty schools because we learned all of the above at mine, minus the house/car buying stuff.
