Friday Ephemera (820)
He’s having his creases attended to. || Incoming. || Mop-related drama. || Secret snail business. || Let’s just say choices were made. || A bathtime temptation. || Today’s word is parenting. || More joys of public transport. || Like professional wrestling, but in libraries. || I think we need clarification, ladies. || Today’s other word is logistics. || Question asked. || The totally radical tedium of “queered” Tolkien. || If We Lived On The Moon, 1930s. || On Night People, 1966. || The progressive retail experience, parts 733, 734 and 735. || Un-parking is also hard. || Horse yoga. You heard me. || How women dress, 1961. || Yet what caught my eye were the boots. || What’s In Modern Food?, 1975. || Surface tension. || And finally, scenes from the World Yogasana Sports back-bending competition.

When we tell children in school that they are not allowed to defend themselves against physical violence or construct elaborate, unrealistic and/or ridiculous barriers on what little that they can do to defend themselves, we create a much deeper psychological crisis that undermines pretty much everything. And “conservatives” go right along with it by pretending that the problem isn’t there…And we’re back to the obvious lies thing.
The wonderful thing about Canadians is how incredibly nice they are.
Absolutely, using the 12th- and 13th-century definitions of the word:
