Owls and Orange

Another attempt to organize my diverse interests and show off my pictures and ideas. I like a ton of different things. Owls. Cephalapods. Art. Cats. Hiking. Fat Acceptance. Health at Every Size. Netflix. Bad movies. Science Fiction and Fantasy. History. Science. Atheism. etc. etc. etc.

I'm a thirty something married chick with three cats and a life that's pretty boring. I'd someday like to be doing *more*. Like everyone else...

  • Track Santa's Flight Around the World

    usagov:

    On Christmas Eve, NORAD tracks Santa on his trip around the globe. 

    I know I sound like a MASSIVE KILLJOY but this annoys me. Can we please stop lying to children? Seriously, I just don’t understand why we tell children that the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa are real until they’re ‘old enough’ to figure out we’re full of shit.  Share the stories…but tell them as fairy tales not as truth.  Sheesh.

  • Tim Minchin is brilliant.  And censoring him is pretty much the stupidest thing one can do.  Have people *really* not heard of the Streisand Effect?
