#I've always done this #I always will

Sharon Olds, Stag’s Leap

Last year we discovered the gigantic sea creature-themed snow sculptures made by Austin, Connor and Trevor Bartz, aka the Bartz Brothers (previous featured here), in the front yard of their family home in New Brighton, Minnesota. Previously they’ve made a massive shark, an enormous walrus and a huge, spiny puffer fish. The brothers are back in action this winter with an awesome awesome sea turtle measuring 12 feet tall and 37 feet wide.

"Last year some kids screamed at the shark," said Connor of their 2014 sculpture, so this year they said they wanted to build a sculpture that was distinct but friendly looking. "It takes up our whole front yard," said Austin. "It couldn’t be bigger."

The trio spent over 300 hours working on this colossal chelonian, which required gathering the snow from not just their own yard, but from the yards of 11 neighbors and a nearby tennis court. The snow is transported via sled and the sculpture was built entirely by hand.

Click here for a behind-the-scenes video showing the construction of this giant snow sea turtle.

Head over to the Bartz Snow Sculptures Facebook page to check out more photos of their wonderful winter sculptures. We can’t wait to see what the brothers come up with next year.

#TBT too cute!

Look.

I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.

People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".

These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.

If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.

ILLUMINANCE

[noun]

1. an act or instance of illuminating; to supply or brighten with light.

2. intellectual or spiritual enlightenment.
