do you ever just lay down and think about how short life really is

i offer this reflection: there is comfort in sewers.

🧵 our oldest sewers in the region date back to 1873, built by hands that passed long before our times.

and yet those systems are still in use today.

flush. don’t think twice about it.

turn the tap. no big deal.

start the laundry, fill your tub, wash your hands, brush your teeth, let the faucet flow on and on as long as you want.

"it’s just water." the simple fact that we can consider such a precious resource and the complex system it takes to bring it to and from our homes safely “no big deal” is exactly why #WorldWaterDay March 22 should be a very big deal.

someBODY once told me
the sewer world is lonely
Nobody knows the word
“watershed”
She was looking kind of done
when she saw me tweeting puns
in the form
of a meme
on her iPad Well
the tweets start coming
and they didnt stop coming,
connections all around you
so I hit the ground running.
Didn't people see
how their infrastructure works?
Your brain gets smart
through puns and verse.

in honor of Presidents Day, here is the complete list of US presidents who died from waterborne diseases. 1/ William Henry Harrison
9th president (3/4/1841 – 4/4/1841)

prevailing theory was his illness was caused by bad weather at his inauguration. but analysis in 2014 concluded he likely died of typhoid—caused by sewage upstream of the White House water supply. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H… William Henry Harrison

2022 marked our 50th year as a utility.

50 years of people, programs, and progress serving northeast ohio. if you pay or ever paid a sewer district bill, you've contributed to a greater cleveland.

here are 6 specific impacts our very existence has had on the region. 10 men in Cleveland Regional Sewer District uniforms stand p change.

our creation in 1972 emerged from the haze of the 1969 Cuyahoga River fire. it wasn't the first time the river burned, but thanks three specific people—and our years of work that followed—it became the last. neorsd.medium.com/sparking-chang…

it’s that end-of-year time for a top 10 list.

but i need to admit something:

you don’t care about our accomplishments. you really don’t.

you care about yours.

so instead, here’s YOUR top 10 list for 2022. 🧵 10. that challenge you overcame.

you’re stronger for it. but reflecting on it further you realize you were strong all along.

TIL this gigantic sewer flap gate—weighing more than 1000 pounds—was blown off its hinges during a storm in 1992.

the force pushed it all the way into Lake Erie. assumed lost.

until an employee, an amateur scuba diver, ventured to find it.

this is Eric Parham’s story. 1/ a man in yellow safety gear stands beside an enormous metal a black and white photo, scanned at low resolution, of a smi this gate covers a 10’wide combined sewer overflow on the western stretch of Edgewater Beach.

the overflow itself dates back to the 1890s. combined sewers, carrying sewage and stormwater, have relief points like this to prevent dangerous system backups and flooding. 2/ large metal flap gate, hinged at the top, covering a sewer o

"A New Beginning: Choose Your Own Career Adventure"

The beep of the microwave rouses you from your sleepy state. Sliding your chair away from the kitchen table, your slippered feet scuffle to the half-full mug of coffee you've reheated for the third time.

Mornings are tough. 2
Your recent mornings have gone from hopeful routine to draining monotony, and even the "Hang In There!" kitty mug you're holding is no longer the humorous motivator it once was.

You sigh and take a sip.

It's a bitter blend, just like the day ahead. Perhaps.
