barackobama:

There are lots of reasons we’re excited to be launching the Obama 2012 campaign’s new Tumblr today. But mostly it’s because we’re looking at this as an opportunity to create something that’s not just ours, but yours, too.

nicolefaires:
May 6th is International Permaculture Day, and I want to celebrate. Most people who want to learn Permaculture do so by earning a Permaculture Design Certificate. This piece of paper is really great, but also really expensive ($1500 to $3000). Guess what? You don’t need a PDC…

Shut UP, history! You are so crazy!
mentalflossr:
Born in 1790, John Tyler was our 10th President. He took office in 1841 after William Henry Harrison died. And he has two living grandchildren!
