I’m not religious, but I like the idea of prayer. When I was studying Quakerism, something Friends would say is “I will hold (you/person/thing) in the light.” I really liked that. It was kind of like saying “I’m not just thinking about you, you are foremost in my thoughts and concerns.” In Quakerism, “the light” does…

As an atheist I don’t have a problem with the word “prayers.” It’s not much different than “thoughts.” One definition is “an earnest hope or wish.” I think as long as the intentions are rooted in compassion, there probably isn’t a need to focus so much on what words are used, as long as they are positive, and don’t…

She performed a “Tiny Desk” concert for npr when promoting her second album. For those unfamiliar, it’s a three song performance at an east coast office - anyways, one of hosts of “All Songs Considered” discussed how it was actually difficult to sit so close because of how powerful her voice is was.

I’m approaching 34 and Adele, along with the high school science fair kids doing meaningful cancer research, make me feel like a pathetic little flea with zero accomplishments. Her appeal, beyond her raw talent, can be summed up by that goofy face she made at the end of a breathtaking performance. Ps fuck Taylor…

Finally understand what it must be like to be a Bey Stan. Everytime someone says they are not a fan of Adele I just assume they lead a sad existence.

The first time I saw her, or should I say part of her, I was sitting up in bed thumbing through a rather large book, about 11”x14” (DIY upholstery), which I had sitting on my chest/stomach. The bed faced the door to the room, which was 3/4 open, to the living area. There were a lamp on in the living area and the light…

Aside from a handful of drones that are laid and hatched as needed for mating with virgin queens (or if a virgin queen is prevented from a mating flight, leaving her able to only lay drone eggs), all the workers of the hive are females. No one lazes around, not even the queen, who works hard, because if she stops…

Earlier this year, I got a tattoo of a honeybee on my collar bone. Because in a beehive, the females lead. The females do the work. And they’re willing to die for the things they believe in.

Since I'm too lazy to read 20 comments, I'm going to assume I'm the first to suggest this video should be set to Benny Hill music.

Man. Stories like this are why it always gets me when people say things like, "Society is going downhill! People are so TERRIBLE to each other nowadays! What happened to the good old days?" There were no "good old days." Not ever. People have always just been awful, and it was easier to hide it.

Why did I click on Eisen's remarks? Just terrible to hear the news, especially from the guy I associate with Stuart Scott the most. Unreal. And try as he did, Eisen almost made it through the whole thing all together.

I'm really bad about remembering where I parked. It's kind of embarrassing when I get a "stalker" and I'm wandering around like an idiot trying to remember where my car is.

Oh, my god, my Buster would fail this so utterly. Toys! Food! A whole smorgasbord of delight! Eventually he'd want to come tell me about what a good time he was having, though (he's so funny—whenever he meets a new dog he particularly likes or is having an extra good time at anything, he always takes breaks to come to…

He knows you can't eat a trophy.
