Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:41:29 -0800

Sometimes you are having a really long week and then the universe reaches over, taps you on the shoulder and reminder you that you have the most amazing people in your life. The kind of people who post Sister Act clips, the kind of people who make Back in the Habit references on their Facebook status updates (thank you Jess Agi) and the kind of people who send you funny giraffe pictures. You all improve my life.

Nation's largest food forest planned for Seattle's Beacon Hill Neighborhood

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 12:28:00 -0800

Nation's largest food forest planned for Seattle's Beacon Hill Neighborhood:

Seattle’s vision of an urban food oasis is going forward. A seven-acre plot of land in the city’s Beacon Hill neighborhood will be planted with hundreds of different kinds of edibles: walnut and chestnut trees; blueberry and raspberry bushes; fruit trees, including apples and pears; exotics like pineapple, yuzu citrus, guava, persimmons, honeyberries, and lingonberries; herbs; and more. All will be available for public plucking to anyone who wanders into the city’s first food forest.

This is an incrdible idea. I am so exicted to be close enough to enjoy it.

“No one could blame American women here if they all suddenly decided to leave the country saying, ‘That’s it, we’re fucking out of here, this is complete bullshit.’ There has been a debate on contraception in the last week so ludicrous that part of me was wondering if it was in fact a performance art piece, to make us all question how terrible it would be to live in a country where something like this could actually happen.”

“The story Katims came up with “parallels what happened to Mike Leach … a coach at Texas Tech who was unjustly fired and unjustly accused of mistreating a player with a concussion, which was proven to not have been the case,” Berg said. He described it as a “great redemption story,” saying that the would-be film would focus more on Coach and Mrs. Coach than on anyone else. Does Coach really need a redemption story? Isn’t he the most perfect human ever to walk among us?”

Yes, he is the MOST PERFECT HUMAN.

So excited for this movie. I miss these characters.

Kristen Bell’s sloth meltdown on “Ellen.”

I AM LAUGHING SO HARD. She is the best.

What I take away from this:
a) Kristen Bell is the best.
b) Hope remains that someone will find my emotional irrationality adorable.

I should have watched this sooner. So good.

Oklahoma Senator Proposes Making It Illegal For Men To Ejaculate Except Into A Woman’s Sexual Organs

Life imitating art aka Legally Blonde:

Don’t worry, she’s joking. But she’s joking to make a really good point.

The controversial Senate Bill 1433, which is one of the “personhood laws” cropping up in conservative states is seeking to define life as begining at conception, and that “the unborn child at every stage of development (has) all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state.”

That makes it really hard to get an abortion.

Perhaps inspired by the Virgina State senator who proposed a mandatory rectal exam for men looking to recieve erectile dysfunction drugs, if women had to have an ultrasound to receive an abortion, Oklahoma Senator Constance Johnson– our new hero – added an “Every Sperm Is Sacred” amendment claiming that:

Any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child.

High five, lady.

Satirical law is fun.

MUST WATCH: Republican Maureen Walsh Chokes Up While Giving an Incredibly Moving Speech During the Gay Marriage Debate In Washington

"The best principles of our republic secure to all its citizens a perfect equality of rights."

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:58:00 -0800

“The best principles of our republic secure to all its citizens a perfect equality of rights.”

- Thomas Jefferson (via thoughtsdetained)

It has been a week of wins for gay rights: my home state of Washington has passed marriage equality in both the house and the senate, Proposition 8 was deemed unconstitutional by the 9th district Court of Appeals and a discriminatory amendment to the state constitution being introduced in New Mexico was squashed even before it hit the floor.

So often there are more setbacks than success in this struggle. Let us take a moment to appreciate and enjoy these victories.

Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that.
