All the legacy oaks in old Houston neighborhoods aren't native - just planted by developers. At least in theory they'll be tall. All four trees that were planted in the house I live in now were planted in February 2022 and all four of them are dead, and similar things have happened to the rest of the trees on the street, except for the houses with residents who are obsessive about fertilizer and such.

I went to Meow Wolf this weekend. Since it was located in the Grapevine Mills Mall I spent some time afterwards walking around and soaking up the culture of NorthEast Tarrant County. There was one store called "Texas Collectables" that was the most AlamoSexual thing I've ever personally witnessed. I only got one photo, but the whole thing was an absolutely surreal landscape of crosses, bullets, longhorn skulls, Texas flags, dish-platter belt buckles, and faux driftwood.

zooming in on the crosses I like that some of them have cows, horseshoes and pentagrams. Christianity died in 1982 lol

I'll still go because I love a weird art installation.

I mean, I feel like maybe the regents who scuttled the deal because they're so scared of "woke" should be paying it, but that's just me and I'm not a BMA so I guess I don't count.

Jake Gittes posted:as much as i love watching the tamu ~community~ continue to own themselves over and over again, I gotta wonder about how this bullshit will impact hiring at other schools in texas (both public and private) who were already fighting the perception that we're a bunch of dumb rednecks. On average we apparently ARE a bunch of dumb rednecks, so like, until we stop giving evidence of it, I'm unsure of what else to do but keep disavowing it all. zoux posted:The regents get paid with tax payer money too Do they? I'm uncertain they get paid anything aside from maybe some small honorarium like corporate boards do (though of course it would be public money if so). But like, if anything, it's not high dollar.
