A Random Collection

She/Her.  I'm a daughter of a Trekkie. I prefer Old School SW - I do NOT support Reylo. Would rather read than watch TV. I have over 1000 books. I like cats, would love to have a dog. I've been to Iceland, Scotland, England, Turkey and Hungary.    I feel the Bern. I stand with Kshama. I'm quite possibly ace.

all the “peer pressure is bad” education we give kids is practically useless because all it cares about is telling them that Drugs Are Evil rather than the much more useful lesson of ‘the person who responds to you saying you don’t drink by telling you they’ll find a way to get you to is also going to be shitty about all your other boundaries’.

god forbid you teach kids that their consent should be respected rather than about the inherent immorality of all the sinful actions of their peers

Apparently today is Loving Day, named after Richard and Milford Loving, the interracial couple whose lawsuit against the state of Virginia resulted in interracial marriage becoming legal in the United States. And so this day was made as a holiday for interracial relationships. I think that's very cool and deserves a tumblr post. Happy Loving Day to everyone in interracial relationships!

Hellstrip Vegetable Gardens

The biggest reason I’ve run into gardeners finding this to be controversial isn’t whether it is legal or not (in lots of places, it isn’t, so it could be removed at any time by the local municipality) but rather how healthy it is to be eating food so close to the road, bathed in things like exhaust. It may not be healthy to hang out near diesel fumes.

There are some very cool examples out there of pollinator gardens (flowers useful to local critters) and rain gardens in these tricky curbside areas. Pictured above is a rain garden. For anyone in the US, here’s a list of regional suggestions for pollinator gardens.

is anyone here in the cincinnati area and looking for an indoor cat? because i’ve been fostering and…

he’s very well-behaved (he hasn’t scratched a single piece of furniture, chewed on a single cord, knocked over a single picture frame), dog tolerant, and LOVES people. he doesn’t always want to be pet, but he always wants to be in the same room as other people, and he’ll try to snuggle with you if he thinks you’re asleep.

seriously. if there’s a bowl of food in one room and you in another, he will ignore dinner just to be around you

other than that, he’s a very typical cat. he loves squeezing into random spaces, watching birds on the windowsill, and playing with (aka LOSING) plastic spring toys.

his name’s Vahara, and we think he’s just under a year old. he has no medical concerns that we’re aware of.

We all got that one mutual that be going through the most treacherous situations a person could endure and then posting a few minutes later about why such and such should get fucked through a concrete wall.

[the-quasar-hero]

Mutual: my situationship partner just got caught in a tornado at a broken glass factory where they were cheating on me with my landlord who just increased my rent by 6000% and my pet marmot has a disease so rare they’re naming it after him and all my bones are becoming apricot jelly which I’m allergic to.

Same mutual 16 minutes later: Do you think Ronald McDonald and the Burger King ever explored each other’s bodies?

Protest outside Woolwich Crown Court during the sentencing of 4 Palestine Action protestors. In May, a jury convicted the activists of criminal damage, with no knowledge that a terror connection would later be applied by a judge at sentencing. This is the first time a terrorism connection has been invoked in a case limited to property damage.
