Robert E. Lee's Descendants Speak Out
There has been a lot of hate spewed in the name of Robert E. Lee of late and his heirs are having none of it. They are in favour of moving his statues to museums or other, less public, locations, and denounce any and all racism happening in the Lee name.

Baby Dance
This is super cheesy and I love it. Their joy and fun and love for each other is infectious!

-Seth Godin, on beating ourselves up

Leafy Art
Artist Raku Inoue makes art out of plant life. I love it.

-Ada Calhoun, To Stay Married, Embrace Change
Change can be hard. Sometimes really hard. And it's one of the reasons frequently giving for leaving someone or something, be it a partner, a group of friends, a job, or a neighbourhood: they've changed.
Sometimes the change is too much, irreversible, or extremely negative. But why would we expect anything or anybody to stay the same?
