Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

It's a responsibility of #History as academic discipline, it's our responsibility as historians to set these things straight, immediately, to not allow rewriting the past to change conditions in the present.
If nothing is true, everything's allowed. And this is no accident.
