Bill Nye on Bowties

When you see one you like, just buy it. If it's good lookin', someone is right behind you ready to snap it up. I find them at Nordstrom (the store and Rack). I have a couple dozen that Beau Ties of Vermont made into bows from straight ties with intriguing patterns. Astronomy2Go is a good source thereof. Right now, I'm diggin' the slimline with arrow points. Ahh...

Could people just stop.

If this is your facebook status, just stop:

"anybody wanna talk about how the olympics' opening ceremony was a disgusting, wasteful, colonialism-celebrating, classist, racist, sexist extravagant display of all things nationalistic? Props to the athletes and coaches for working real hard and enjoy the competition..but that neverending saga through 'history' and 'culture' was nauseating. guess what england: we already know about your shit because you invaded all over the goddamn place and violently imposed it"

THIS IS WHAT THE OLYMPICS ARE! also i hate "ist" words.

On why you probably don't have the right.

Humans especially in North America and Europe and the rest of the developed world have a lot of rights. We have the right to religion, the right to bare arms, the right to free speech and a bunch of others. The problem with having so many rights is that people get the wrong idea. Sure you have the right to free speech, sure, but you don't have the right to be a dick. Oh! A certain situation makes you uncomfortable, well, you should probably act like a complete asshole, ya, you definitely have the right to make everyone else uncomfortable just cause you are, that makes sense. Before I say too much lets bring this overly personal post to a close.

Just for like a hot second.

Shut up, you are!

I'm not great at accepting compliments, I don't think it comes natural to anyone or at least it shouldn't. Liz Lemon said it best, "Sexy? me? shut up, you are!" (in reference to her being called a sexy librarian).  I think humans aversion to compliments is due to the fact that we tend to be general self-conscious or self-deprecating, especially if you're one of those unlucky few who are part of the 20-something year old sub-category of humanity #firstworldproblems. We look for the worst in ourselves, but the great thing about being human, is that there are a lot of us. And as humans we also generally tend to like and associate with other humans. We all tell our friends how great they look, or how nice they are or whatever generic compliment seems appropriate at the time, but as the receiver its hard to believe them. This is where the sappy part starts. Because sometimes you find those certain people who you like, you like them a lot, and at first, you aren't sure if they like you, or at least like you as much you like them. When they compliment you, you don't listen, you laugh and say no. We all do it.  After a while you're worn down, you start to believe them, they make you blush, they make you furtively smile at your cellphone screen and they make you believe that just maybe some of these compliments and flattery may have some weight to them. And you return these compliments and then you feel, good and they feel good, and maybe, if its just for a short time, or even if it last for a long time, you're better people for it. You want to be better people. The point is if someone ever said to you "You're attractive and I like preserving things in ink" after they told you they wanted to draw you, you'll feel good. you'll feel really good. 

In conclusion,



also, shut-up sruti and lauren.

Pretty much how I feel right now.

The more I see you

Are people for real?

She is passionate about natural healing modalities, yoga, vedanta and ayurveda, nutrition, herbalism, sisterhood, poetry, art...

He studied and is passionate about philosophy and religion, and has also done much travelling. There are those that call him an 'optimystic.'

The rent does not include hydro, but we keep the heat way down and in winter there are many ways of keeping warm other than electric heat! Warm apple cider and warming herbal teas and wool scarves and cozy times for examples!

Thank you, blessings, from Jay and Marie.

About to go on a date and...

I literally just thought to myself "Oh, well I have to be a little bit late." I AM WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. Why do we all follow these silly little rules and then deny that we follow them!

In a perfect world, I don't think it's anyone else's business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted. I’m not an activist, but I am a human being
