At Irish Fest yesterday...
I was about 4 and said to my dad, "Screw you!" He wheeled on me with ferocity unforeseen and I couldn't figure out why...I thought it meant using a screwdriver. I mean, he said it all the time; what else could he have been talking about?
story time: i taught my little cousin her first longer word when she was very young. i taught her to say “tax benefits”. and to this day my aunt still doesn’t know where she got it from, but it was a hilarious sight to see a little toddler waddling around the house, wearing a big diaper, all the while yelling “TAX BENEFITS!!!!”
More CRan jokes! More pictures! :)
Alright, everyone who is and isn’t ready this. Well, I suppose those of you who aren’t reading this wouldn’t see my hello, so… Anyways, Day 5 went something like this: I woke up and ate breakfast. Afterwards, on the bus, our tour guide read us some *actual* complaints from past tours and some...
That’s what spotted me!
So important for everyone to understand
A new video series from Planned Parenthood is illustrating just how sexy consent is.
Published on Sept. 21, the four videos created by Planned Parenthood discuss consent and how integral it is in healthy hook ups and relationships. The videos cover topics including the definition of consent, and the signals to look out for when your partner is just not into it.
I watched the original Toy Story the other day... the characters had that funky marionette walk. This truly is masterful programming.
very serious progressive fighter game

I miss them, the humans.
We used to talk every day, about my journeys and the things I found during them. My pictures and explorations, everything that I did was somehow special to them.
They called me brave, and strong, saying that I was able to do much more than they ever thought possible of me, but I never believed a word of it.
“I’m only doing my job.” I told them, “Nothing more, nothing less.”
Time went on, and I began to wear down. The humans messages began to change. They started speaking of “love” and “death.”
It wasn’t long before I understood what they meant, they were worried about me. I was touched, but nevertheless I kept moving forward. I had a job to do.
I finally was forced to stop by the wear and tear of time, and was able to send one last message to the humans, my creators and friends.
“My battery is low and it’s getting dark.”
So now I sit here in this sea of red dust, alone and broken. But I am not afraid.
Because I know the humans love me, and I know they’ll come to say hello again.
Hand-fasting sash I made for my son's and daughter-in-law's wedding. It's the first time I've done embroidery and I'm quite happy with it ( they are, too!)
- Green, white, and silver were their chosen wedding colors.
- Blue and red are the colors representing the words each/both choose for what marriage means to them (mostly based on Druidic and Wicca traditions).
- Circles throughout symbolizing the Summer Solstice, their wedding date.
- On the white side, the flowers around their names and wedding date are traditional Bohemian designs in honor of Tya's heritage.
- The style on the green side is generally Celtic (a good portion of Nathan's heritage and a style that resonates with both of them - the music list was amazing!).
- Tree of Life and endless knots represent the intertwining of their lives and growth / nurturing / life (Celtic and Norse traditions, although I couldn't fit all 9 roots of Yggdrasil).
- On either end are the masculine (sun) and feminine (moon) with one "protecting" the other, allowing the other the freedom from a safe place to explore, create, and become their best selves.
One can only hope to have contributed to the scientific and social growth of humanity as she did.
Rest in peace after your long, fruitful life.
This is the best thing I've read all day!!
I used to feed the crows on campus every day because it was easier than making human friends (I had one already - and Robin likes crows as much as I do). Pretty soon, they figured out where I lived and would alight upon my dorm windowsill and watch me. I offered them only healthy things, like leftover fish, hard boiled eggs, nuts, suet, and dog food. They were already habituated to humans and had no fear of us, and I figured it was better to feed them real food instead of the french fries they’d get tossed.
It only got weird when people began to notice that crows would follow me to class. Two in particular would fly alongside me as I walked across campus, landing and cawing for treats and keeping pace with me. Sometimes people would try to scare them off and I’d have to explain that Heinrich and Fatima weren’t bad omens signaling my doom, just spoiled little brats.
