Nobel Peace Prize for Giselle Pelicot, please!

That prize is often awarded to people who fight for other people's rights - eg, Malala - not just for statecraft.

Last week I got a hard in 2.5 minutes and I felt like I was riding a cloud. Last night it took me 11 minutes to the MEDIUM

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

growing up on a farm you learn pretty quickly to listen for the hum to make sure the electric fence around the pig yard is on

in my opinion, i think animal rights folks should not focus on their glittering personalities when trying to convince people not to eat pigs

i have been chased by a 400 pound sow before and this did not make me think "ah, what a sweet and innocent creature"

Freida Parton says she did not mean to scare anyone when asking for prayers for her older sister, Dolly:

Freida Parton
“I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”

Word of the Day is ‘tandsmør’, from Danish. It describes bread that is buttered so thickly you can see tooth marks in it after every bite. Its literal translation? ‘Tooth butter’.

We watched reruns after school - it was popular in our family because we were also in a “three are his and three are hers” situation, except in our case they then had three more that were, of course, theirs.

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

shoutout to my husband @mightygodking.com who, though he feels like a bag of smashed hammers today, made me my go-to scrambled eggs and toast for a dine and dash between morning gig and afternoon rehearsal. 💗
