"In America, people ask 'Do the Ferengi represent Jews?' In England, they ask 'Do the Ferengi represent the Irish?' In Australia, they ask if the Ferengi represent the Chinese. The Ferengi represent the outcast... it's the person who lives among us that we don't fully understand. Our program was about investigating the essence of people, not the outside. They forgave me though I stole. (points to Michael Dorn) They forgave him, though he killed. (points to Nana Visitor) They forgave her though she was a terrorist. Starships do not make Star Trek, hope makes Star Trek." — Armin Shimerman

I really love the sound of red-winged blackbirds.

I had forgotten how much I love Leverage.

When opening to the first chapter of your military history book causes you to exclaim, "He's a Twink!," you know you are in for a wild ride.

not all of it is bad i think….…. we are going to be okay i think.

Sometimes you just have to listen to contemporary folk music and write poetry late into the night.

Pieces of Viking pottery with traces of cat and dog paws, seen at the Musée de Normandie in Caen Castle

“ruined”? made better

It’s very humanizing to imagine some poor potter in the past screaming “nnnnooooooo bad kitty” somewhere in Scandinavia

If it was ruined, the artisan wouldn’t have baked it.

That’s… that’s a delightful point you just made.

This person chose to bake and keep their cat’s artistic contribution.

i was in spain once and there was a building with a tile that had been laid down in roman times: it had a dog’s paw print. and the thing was that after the dog did that print, the wet tile was dried, and then fired, and then shipped, and then laid, and for two thousand years every person who encountered that tile thought ‘aw! paw print!’ and kept it. this vast agreement by thousands of people over all these centuries, in memory of a dog only one of us could have met.

i loved that tile.

Every comment.

As anyone who has worked with wet clay knows, these pawprints could be removed with a dab more clay and a stroke of one hand.

That they weren’t, says all that needs said.

The hand was too busy stroking something furry that purred or wagged its tail.

White women are the reason the Confederacy is looked at all romantic

They Were Her Property by Stephanie Jones-Rogers.

Written by a black woman, it’s the first book I think of on the subject. I’m sure they are many others though. Worth a read.

I read this book in my History MA program. It literally made me sit down and go woah in a way few books have. They Were her Property totally obliterates popular mythologies surrounding white Southern women and exposes the pervasive atrocities of slavery and the casual brutality of the system. I recommend it 100%.
