The Bear Who Became a Cigarette-Smoking, Beer-Drinking World War II Hero

I love people sometimes. Really, truly, love them.

A fragrance free tool kit from UCLA....quite useful to this canary in the coal mine of life, and makes me so damn happy to see more recognition of the widespread toxicity and how it can effect everyone, not just those of us who deeply suffer...thank you UCLA:

Jayme Closs. I live in the same state as her. Her parents were shot dead in front of her eyes and she was kidnapped and was missing for 88 days. She escaped on Thursday. Being a SA survivor it stirs up a lot of fear for me. I'm afraid it might happen again. Especially because her kidnapper just saw her getting off a school bus and decided he was going to kidnap her. I used to like to run outside by myself, but I won't be doing that anymore.
 
On FB there was a photo that a traffic camera caught and it was of a snow owl flying in the snow! His wings were fully spread out and he was facing the cam. Behind and below him you could see the highways. There is snow on the ground and it is snowing all around him as well.
 
Exclusive: Ancient Mass Child Sacrifice May Be World's Largest

I don’t prescribe to postprocessional archeology, so the ascertation that simply because the bodies were buried in mud that the people were sacrificing children to the weather gods

((PP archeology is all about makin up stories to suit your facts... utter and complete fictions... an example would be if PP archeologists found a murder victim with an iPhone in their pocket in umpteen thousand years with no record of our civilization? Well, clearly these black composite rocks were religious talismans! Um. No. Or, more along the same lines, if the tens of thousands of impaled Irish children were thought to be ritual sacrifice, or tribute after a war, when instead it was Cromwell “pacifying” their parents -by rendering them dumb with grief, and terror stricken for their other children, or killed on the spot as they rushed soldiers by ones and twos instead of en mass- during an active war. We know about iPhones because we have them. We know what Cromwell did because he wrote back to England exactly what he did & why -and have both those records and church records- so we have actual freaking accounts, instead of “I bet, clearly, wouldn’t it be interesting if, blah blah blah. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE fiction, just not in my sciences, thanks.))

Anyhow,.. that bit of nonsense aside... heartbreaking story.
 
As a highly emotional being, this fascinated me:

I Feel Your Brain

"But you see, we live in such artificial circumstances compared with how we lived for most of human evolution; we take our present circumstances to be the human norm when—in the long view of human history—actually it’s an aberration. And so, it may be that the need to cultivate compassion more intentionally arose with the rise of civilization. But I think more to the point is that today it behooves us to cultivate compassion so that our instinctive altruistic response has a chance to operate freely, despite the muffling effects of modern life."
 
A friend used a photo of an aborted baby and reworded a Queen song to go with it. It gave voice to the baby. What would the baby want to say to the Mama? It was tragic and heart rending.

This article/blog post discussing this person's opinion of the ins and outs of the peer-review process. It used to grate my nerves to never be listened to seriously about many things unless I could provide peer-reviewed data to prove something beyond a shadow of a doubt, when all the while, I was seriously doubting that whole process itself. It can definitely be useful at times, but it's not the end all to information and knowledge.

Is Journal Peer-Review Now Just a Game?
 
This made my heart smile...it seems it's been happening for a few years now and spreading slowly...hoping it catches on and spreads like wildfire...
