EEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Binder arrived! Impressed I got into it with how bad my wrist has been this week. Have a bit of tweaking to do, learning how to get things in place for a more convincing look. Still happy as hell, I look way…

…I actually can’t do it that way. My hips are too wide, it takes more strength to pull it past that than putting it on like a shirt, for me.

Do they really believe that abortion is murder? (a handy dandy chart, courtesy of Alas, A Blog!)

Almost none of their policies make sense if they really see no difference between the death of a fetus and the death of a four-year-old. However, nearly all their policies make sense if they’re seeking to make sure that women who have sex “face the consequences.” are punished. After years of seeing this pattern repeated again and again, it’s difficult to take them at their word.

Alternate universe version of this.

“Alternate”? What do you think we’ve been doing here all this time?

Obama campaign tumblr, you are my favourite.

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Four-year-old comic book fan Anthony Smith is deaf in his right ear and has hearing damage in his left. He also refused to wear his hearing aid (which he calls “Blue Ear” because it is blue), because “superheroes don’t wear hearing aids.” So in a long-shot attempt to help her son, Anthony’s mom emailed Marvel for ideas.
“She didn’t know a specific person to write to here at Marvel, and even figured it might get caught in our spam filters, but she sent it in anyway, because that’s the kind of great parent Christina is,” said Marvel editor Bill Rosemann. “And it was her inspiring effort to help her son that touched so many of us here. As a fellow parent of a toddler, I can understand where she’s coming from, so I forwarded the email around the rest of Editorial, asking what we could do to help, and like when Cap yells, ‘Avengers Assemble,’ the gang leapt into action.”
Not only did Anthony receive an image of the superhero Hawkeye, who lost 80 percent of his hearing back in the ’80s and wore hearing aids — Anthony also received a drawing, by Nelson Ribeiro in Collected Editions, of a brand-new superhero: “Blue Ear.”
Now, with his hearing aid back in, Anthony is able to “fight battles and help people.” His preschool, for hearing-impaired kids, recently hosted a superhero week to inspire the students to overcome their limitations.
DON’T miss the video. It’s the best thing you’ll see all day.

A gay marriage, a disabled superhero, AND the Avengers all in the same month? Marvel must have some real-life superheroes on the payroll.

fuckyeahballpythons:

I’m posting this video mostly because I’ve gotten a few asks about dealing with aggressive snakes and although I’ve given a really short spiel about dealing with them in the past, I think J. Kobylka does a much better job of answering this question than I could. 

Obviously this requires a great deal of confidence on the handler’s part but I’ve tried it with my pinstripe girl (who’s pretty nippy herself) and it really does work. 

/Edit/: Oh yeah, and if you really are nervous about getting nipped or anything, go pick up a pair of thick gardening gloves from the store because a hatchling will be totally unable to get at you through those.

Neat. Thankfully my angry BP mellowed out well on her own. This might be useful for the aggressive BCI I’ve got coming though (or else I’ll be getting chewed on by him, lol).

Red crab migration


The red crab is by far the most obvious of the 14 species of land crabs on Christmas Island. Every year over 150 million red crabs move from inland shelters to the shore for their annual breeding season. This occurs at the beginning of the wet season (usually October/November).

The main migration can last up to 18 days. Masses of crabs gather into broad columns as they move toward the coast, climbing down high inland cliff faces, and over or around all obstacles in their way, following routes used year after year for both downward and return migrations.

Movement peaks in the early morning and late afternoons when it is cooler and there is more shade. Because if caught in open areas, in unshaded heat, the crabs soon lose body water and die.

Christmas Island is a small Australian-owned territory located in the Indian Ocean, approximately 300 miles south of Jakarta, Indonesia. A small population of 1600 residents live on the area of 50 square miles.

And this is part of why, ridiculous as some of the tax/financial crap is here in IL, I’m frankly scared to move to a different state.
