Photo op with all the fluffy ones. Twenty flag designs! :O
Doing a few custom designs at the moment, if you have requests or suggestions for what owls to add to the Owl Army, let me know!
They are on sale here. The basic pattern I used for these is from Josephine Wu, whose patterns are for sale here (if you are into crochet check it out, there are adorable patterns!)
Some may relate to what Pauley Perrette has to say. We’re not saying she’s aro/ace, but many aros/aces can probably relate!
“What about a love life?”
“Nope. Tried it. Not for me. Not at all.”
“And you’ve been happier since you figured that out?”
“Delighted,” Perrette said. “Probably the best decision I ever made in my life was the time that it took me to go like, ‘Wait a minute. This is silly. I don’t have to have a boyfriend, or a husband, or a girlfriend, or anything, you know?’ I don’t need any of that. Like, I do whatever I want. I do whatever I want. And I think that is rad!”
She has since come out as asexual on Twitter, by the way ^.^ Happy Pride y’all!
Firstly, you’re not alone. Questioning your gender or sexuality is a fairly common experience, and it can be difficult, confusing, or upsetting to question, so good job seeking out information!
Note-taking is one of the most essential skills a student should master. It allows you to record and review information to be used in the future. But what’s the best way to do so? Here’s an overview of note-taking styles that can help you maximize your learning!
Hello Mr. Gaiman, if you don't mind, could you explain what you mean with this quote from The Graveyard Book? “People who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.” Do you believe that you won't be able to find any peace at all by moving on and leaving certain things behind you which have become such a burden for you that you can't think of any other reasonable way to make life bearable again?
Here’s the whole quote (from an early draft on this computer, so it may be slightly different to the version in the book). Silas is talking about the dead in the potters field beside the graveyard. I think his point of view is pretty self-explanatory:
Silas
raised one perfect eyebrow. “Mm? Oh, not at all. Let’s see, it’s
been a while since I’ve been down that way. But I don’t remember
anyone particularly evil. Remember, in days gone by you could be
hanged for stealing a shilling. And there are always people who find
their lives have become so unsupportable they believe the best thing
they could do would be to hasten their transition to another plane of
existence.”
“They
kill themselves, you mean?” said Bod. He was about eight years
old, wide-eyed and inquisitive, and he was not stupid.
“Indeed.”
“Does
it work? Are they happier dead?”
“Sometimes.
Mostly, no. It’s like the people who believe they’ll be happy if they
go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn’t work that way.
Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.”
Before Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés destroyed the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan in 1521, he marveled at its impressive size and wealth. In a letter to his king, he wrote that the city was as big as Seville or Cordoba back home. Tenochtitlan had boulevards, bustling markets, canals, courthouses and temples. The Aztecs didn’t model their capital after a European city, but what Cortés saw was remarkably familiar.
Sure, each city has its own local quirks, architecture, language and cuisine. But recently, some theoretical scientists have started to find there are universal laws that shape all urban spaces. And a new study suggests the same mathematical rules might apply to ancient settlements, too. Read more.
