What's it like to be a human
the bird asked
I myself don't know
it's being held prisoner by your skin
while reaching infinity
being a captive of your scrap of time
while touching eternity
being hopelessly uncertain
and helplessly hopeful

A bowl of Smoking Bishop is not something one gets at the local dispensary, but the #wine infused punch a penitent Scrooge offers Bob Cratchit. Dickens also offers a timely character study and words that hold up today. #Winesky #wineinliterature #Literaturesky

A bowl of Smoking Bishop with Bob Cratchit, of course.

Just 2 years ago the NHL attempted to ban “pride tape” on sticks. Now the hottest show on tv is a gay hockey romance adapted from a MM romance novel by Rachel Reid. Clips from the show are played at stadiums. Episodes are shown at sports bars.

The next time you are told that NPS staff needs to be censored by the federal government. The next time you hear that the stories of African Americans are being erased from exhibits or that NPS staff are being discouraged from telling their stories, I want you to think of Betty Reid Soskin.

Did you know the term "alpha male" was coined from a study of wolves in captivity, a study of wolf prison culture. As studies were done of wolves in the wild, we learned wolf packs do not have alpha males like wolf prison culture.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.
