From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

Been haunted by a kids interactive exhibit my sister and I went to some 25 years ago. I could remember blurry bits and pieces, even was able to find the museum that housed it. But thanks to reddit I was finally able to find proof that it existed and the name of it and I feel so free now.

[beeffizz]

I feel like I should mention the concept of this exhibit: a family of four goes missing and it is up to the children to pick a family member and figure out what happened to them by exploring their house. The house was colorful with funky proportions, probably to seem fun and whimsical for kids, but just ended up feeling very... off.

(You could crawl out of the toilet through a pitch black tunnel in the washing machine. I was too scared to do this.)

Also there was a head in the freezer.

Anyway the family member I chose got shrunk down and trapped in a doll house and I watched her get carried away by mice never to be seen again. Cool!

Red Delicious is a variety of apple that was bred to maintain shape, color, and durability when transported and stored. It was originally created in the late 19th century and achieved great popularity in the mid 20th century. In the early 21st century, the variety remains popular, and is one of the most common apple variants.

However, in the early twenty-first century is has developed a reputation (especially online in the form of memes) for being unpleasant. The deep red color the apple was bred directly selects against many flavor traits in apples which produce yellow coloration and striped. The thick, waxy skin protects the apple in transportation and maintains a attractive shine, but many find that it is undesirable.

In the early twenty-first century, the competitive advantages of the Red Delicious breed is much less relevant. Transportation logistics have vastly improved, so even delicate apples are unlikely to bruise on their way to the store and at home. Transportation speeds and storage mechanisms have also improved so the apple's long lasting nature is much less relevant. And, the consistency factor the apple was prized for, where every apple of the breed could be counted on to taste the same, has become the norm among cultivars. New and improved apple varieties have emerged that have all the benefits of the Red Delicious (or close enough given the new logistical realities) while also tasting better.

As such, the Red Delicious has become something of a lacking thing. The great success it represented at its introduction has fallen behind across its 150 year history, leaving it an object of mockery compared to all the new variants that have learned the lessons it taught and improved upon them. The Red Delicious simply cannot compete, as we no longer live in the world it was grown for, a world it served very well.

My husband asked for a quilt for a friend of his who will be a new grandpa soon. He wanted it to be for the soon to be born baby boy. I have a few quilts in reserve for things that might come up but most are more “girlie” than he wanted. I forgot I had even made this one tbh. I made two others of this pattern too. It was a free pattern by Suzy Quilts.

I put a royal blue minky on the back. It’s so soft! The quilt pattern is called Mike’s Swoosh. It was quilted by my friend, Liz.

Just look at all that gorgeous texture!! Makes me want to make another one of these quilts. They come out so good and are a great baby quilt size.

Love to hear what you think of this one.

any ideas for a royal/political arranged marriage, but (against all expectations) both are into it?

Leading up to the ceremony ‣ knowing they would not be thrilled, the couple is not informed of the arrangement until it is set in stone and only few weeks away ‣ A had to be locked up and guarded in the days leading up to the wedding to make sure they don‘t run away ‣ B had to physically be dragged to A‘s kingdom

Right before the ceremony ‣ A threatens to stab their promised spouse upon meeting them at the altar ‣ B is threatened by their parents about making a scene during the wedding ‣ both expect the other to be much older than themself, arrogant, or otherwise undesireable ‣ “Is that a knife in your sleeve? Give me that, you are not killing your spouse before the vows are even read!”

During the ceremony ‣ the promised couple meets at the altar… and both wonder why their parents failed to mention that their promised spouse is H O T ‣ both relaxing as they make little comments during the ceremony, matching each other's freaks ‣ both only having prepared passive aggressively insulting vows and either reading them with matching smirks or improvising new ones

During the reception ‣ the newly weds ignore almost everyone else because conversation is so good between them ‣ intense chemistry, to a point that the new in-laws fear the couple will sneak into the bushes together ‣ “You're not gonna like this, but up until an hour ago I was sure I was gonna have to kill you to be able to escape.”     “Oh no, me too. But then I saw you, and… Well, I reconsidered.”      “Likewise.” ‣ bonding over their mutual distaste for their parents' overreach ‣ “Most dissappointing that my parents will get to gloat about finding me a good match.”      “I understand. We can always make them regret it by being horrible together.”      “Perfect.”
