A small selection of flowers wild and cultivated
I just watched Michelle Obama tell the girls of Elizabeth Garrett Anderson school that “being smart is the coolest thing in the world”. At last! Of course, in some sectors the very fact that she said it will reinforce the idea that being smart is uncool, but screw them. They’re losers anyway.
It’ll be interesting to see down the line whether any of those girls fingers Michelle for making them what some of them will surely become.
