Thank you, Minnesota state senate!

Wooooooo! Proud to hail from this great state (even if I currently live in an back-assward state that banned gay marriage 7 years ago.)

Personal Canon: “How Crayons Are Made”

On Episode 8 of the 11th season of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Mister Rogers showed us a film that has always stuck with me—and which has stuck with many of you, too—about how crayons are made. Mister Rogers’ show was always so calm and informative and direct that it pulled you right into it, and that power has not lessened decades later. This segment has, for whatever reason, fascinated many of us ever since we first saw it. I have never been in a conversation about Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood where this segment didn’t get brought up in the first five minutes.

You can watch the six minute segment here on PBS.com.

I absolutely remember watching this when it aired… It’s stuck with me ever since, too…

I thought if this video recently and watched it. I think there’s another similar one that was on Sesame Street. Good stuff.

Janelle Monáe - Q.U.E.E.N. feat. Erykah Badu. From The Upcoming Album, The Electric Lady.

If you didn’t love Janelle Monae before, after this amazing song and visuals to boost, you will now.

They be like Ooh, let them eat cake
But we eat wings and throw them bones on the ground

Am I a freak for dancing around? (queen)
Am I a freak for getting down? (queen)
I’m cutting up, don’t cut me down
Yeah I wanna be, wanna be

Is it peculiar that she twerk in the mirror?
And am I weird to dance alone late at night?
And is it true we’re all insane?
And I just tell ‘em No we ain’t” and get do

My life has changed forever now that I’ve seen that. #thebootydontlie

Ooo ooo ooo. Can’t wait for the rest of the album.

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 17:03:53 -0400

“The most insidious cruelty of rape is that still, in 2013, if you are the victim of a sexual assault, you carry a stigma. Too often you have to prove that no, you did not do anything to deserve it and no, you didn’t just “change your mind” after and no, men are not entitled to a women’s body just because. And if you don’t think that those are actual things that people believe well, then, you aren’t paying attention. Because those are exactly the sort of things that people have said in the aftermath of Steubenville.”

Hey ya’ll! I need your help!

Earlier today Community Coffee posted my photograph as an Ad without permission or credit. In some sense, they stole my photograph and used it to represent their company.

So far they adamantly stated they don’t feel any need to compensate me. I honestly disagree with their stance.

So! I’m asking everyone to leave a friendly message on their Facebook wall asking them to donate $10,000 to a worthy animal shelter. Let’s save some animals and create good out of this.
