            A friend just shared her experience in an Uber. It was driven by a friar.

            The quote, as passed along: "We're the FUN Catholics. We have brunch...and we drive Uber to raise money for the friary. It's a heck of a lot more fun than begging!"

            I think that's adorable and kind of awesome.

                I'm guessing yes? She didn't clarify.

                  In other words, we need to talk about Kevin.

                  Good excerpt here on a topic of serious discussion. I like this quote:

                  It’s easy to see where the suspicion comes from. The idea of desire without bounds or limits is threatening. It’s a threat to a social order that exerts control by putting fences around our fantasies and making it wicked to want anything unsanctioned. It’s a threat to a society that has developed around the idea of mandatory heterosexual partnership as a way to organize households. It’s threatening because it’s utopian in a culture whose imagination is dystopian because it’s about pleasure and abundance in a culture that imposes scarcity and self-denial. Freedom is often frightening — and polyamory is about balancing freedom with mutual care. In this atomized society, that’s still a radical idea.

                  “It is better to live doing the things that you like. It is foolish to live within this dream of a world seeing unpleasantness and doing only things that you do not like.” -- Yamamoto Tsunetomo.

                        Being able to taste, after not being able to taste for like week due to the bronchitis/upper respiratory infection. I joked for about a day that I was an iZombie zombie as I could only taste things that were really HOT.

                        I have now had a blue raspberry slushie to sate my sweetness craving.

                              Teachable moments with my 3 year old.

                              Her: You be a prince and I be a princess and we kiss!
                              Me: Or we could both be princes and kiss!
                              Her: What?
                              Me: Two princes can kiss. Or two princesses can kiss. Or a prince and a princess can kiss.
                              Her: Or... you be dragon, I be skeleton?
                              Me: ...yes. Also that?

                              maximum craveability

                                            My kitten has straws as toys, to help with teething. They're good for kittens. They can bat them around and they like the feel of their teeth sinking into the plastic. Plus, straws are hella cheap.

                                            He is also one of those cats who will 'drown' his toys in the water bowl after he's done with them.

                                            I just came across this tableau:

                                            This is the hardest I've laughed in a long time.
