Alt-J songs for the signs

Aries: Every Other Freckle // Ooh, devour me, if you really think that you can stomach me

Taurus: Dissolve Me // Now dissolve me, two tabs on your tongue, a herd of shepherds to herd the sheep, sleep now my only one

Gemini: Breezeblocks // She may contain the urge to run away but hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks

Cancer: Matilda // Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who’s boss, my defeat sleeps top to toe with her success

Leo: Fitzpleasure // Deep greedy and Googling every corner, blended by the lights

Virgo: Bloodflood // Tide out, tide in, a flood of blood to the heart through the fear slipstreams

Libra: Choice Kingdom // Your choice kingdom, their voice hear them, our choice kingdom

Scorpio: Tessellate // Yes, they’ll nosh the love away but it’s fair to say you will still haunt me

Sagittarius: Left Hand Free // Ain’t shady baby, I’m hot like the prodigal son

Capricorn: Pusher // The idea of life without company fell suddenly, it crashed through the ceiling on me and pinned me to the pine

Aquarius: Taro // Mine is a watery pit, painless with immense distance from medic from colleague, friend, enemy, foe

Pisces: Something Good // Something good, oh something good, oh something good, oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now

What doesn’t kill you gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms and a really dark sense of humor.

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?

I don’t understand Disney’s original Snow White. She’s got a good small mining business going, a loyal workforce she takes care of - why does she need a prince to come and save her? If she stays off the apples, she’s all good.

No one owes us social benefits, but it’s not about being owed. It’s not about what I want for me and mine, but what I want for you and yours. And what I want for you and yours to be able to live with at least the basics and not have to struggle because you or your child have special needs.

It gets better—the guy is deaf, and he taught his cat the sign for “food.” So the cat’s not just saying “put that in my mouth,” it’s actually signing

[lutefiskcrowsandbeef]

Not only that, but if you notice at the beginning, the cat *gets the man’s attention* as any person who wanted to talk to a deaf/hoh individual would (well, and vice versa IME). I’ve done sign since I was 5, and generally, w/o eye contact initially, you wave a hand or lightly touch the arm (if that’s ok with the person you’re trying to converse with, of course).  Generally, adult cats meow mostly to humans, but this cat has figured out that’s not going to work and has adapted. Animal companions! They are INCREDIBLE.

Amazing.

EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND LOOK AT THIS CAT.

I sometimes fantasize that “Far Side” cartoonist Gary Larson, who retired in 1995, has secretly continued drawing and is about to spring 20 years worth of material on us

We gotta make sure that we apologize to our kids when we hurt them and acknowledge their feelings when they’re frustrated or sad.

We cannot be our parents. Yes, parenting is hard and a lot of our parents did the best that they can (some should have tried harder) but we need to be better than them.

You can begin again. You are not behind. You are exactly where you need to be to get to where you want to go.
