Never mess with a woman who knows how to make her own fertilizer. Ladies… It’s time to learn how to make fertilizer. 💀 Stay for the author’s note at the end. A fury inducing and intensely satisfying read. #booksky #audiobooks

Saw this on display at a museum earlier today. Pretty sure President Adams and many others are rolling in their graves.

Letter to Abigail Adams from
-John Adams -
2nd Presider of the United States of Am rica
(12 May 1780)
"I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in a manner, all other arts.
I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain."
