As a (UK) Catholic and a left-winger, I’d like to apologise for the voting behaviour of certain of my co-religionists and co-politicos in the USA which has contributed to this absolute bin-fire of an election result.

ah lads not again
What will they say of us, one hundred years from now
When they look back on these unhappy days?
They'll shake their heads at how so many swallowed lies
That dog-eat-dog so long went undefeated.
Will they curse us then, that so much death crept in?
There was so little left to build again.
Or will their smiles salute, and like a song recall
The ones who, through it all, went undefeated?
I’m tired of wearing thin these same old words of rage.
Some days the bad guys win, but nothing's changed.
For though the language fail, and the nerves of love grow numb
Somehow we carry on - undefeated.
Holding all people's lives to be of equal worth
More dear than the money talk, or the tricks of the state.
The hands that work no wrong, the breath that lifts the song
The hearts that hold each other - undefeated.
The hearts that hold each other - undefeated.
- Robb Johnson, ‘Undefeated’

Hallowe’en, 1980s Northern England style! Me (left) and my sister with our dad.
Note the carved swede* lantern - no soft pumpkins for us back then, we hacked out titanium-hard root vegetables and were grateful. 😆
*Rutabaga, for any alarmed Americans.
(I still carve a swede now. Cultural tradition, see.)
A successful night with 200+ trick-or-treaters!

“And you thought Jurassic Park had realism? Take a look at that pumpkin!”
“For those of you curious about the effects of acid, this is as close as you can get without spending the five bucks yourself.”
“I think I’ve been completely desensitized, because I’m finding nothing abnormal about Tim playing a tambourine while the universe explodes behind him at this point.”

Regardless of your gender or sexuality, reblog this and tag your most hetero male trait. Mine is either obsessing over my Altima or sitting around watching TV shows about air disasters.

Anonymous asked:
Have you ever listened to a song parody that permanently affected how you listen to the original?
The Dragostea Din Tei Spanish parody. No one in Spain knows the original lyrics. It’s just Fiesta Fiesta Pluma Pluma Gay for us
Heard the “Literal Version” years before I ever heard the actual lyrics to “total eclipse of the heart” and I still expect to hear “twirl around, ninja!”
Weird Al’s The Saga Begins has just PERMANENTLY overwritten American Pie by Don McLean in my brain.
"It took me TWO years to finish this sketch book!" Well that's cuz you're not fuckin sketching. Those are fully painted pieces dawg that's a renderedbook. I've gone through four sketchbooks in my off time this year alone I just draw stupid faces and shit for fun. pussy up like the rest of us and start drawing stick figures with guns

I can't express how damaging this has been to young artists.
Of the many things I struggled to explain to my students "Your sketch book is mainly for practicing techniques, practicing new things, NOTES, and dumb doodles that come to your mind that can inspire you later or help lead you to a good idea. It is NOT where you draw you final pieces. Please kill that darling," is pretty high on the list.
I legit started calling it a "first draft" book to activate prior knowledge from English because influencers have destroyed the concept of sketchbooks.

One evening,
as the setting sun turns the sky dusty,
and the crickets in the fields remind me
that I’m home,
my father tells me he’s reading Les Mis.
I’m half way through feeding the cows
their molasses coated mystery mix,
and the air smells sweet,
and my father reaches out to connect to me.
“I’m reading Les Mis.”

There should be a stuffed animal brand that makes all the stuffed animals with kippot and/or stars of David. I know we’re busy right now but somebody should really get on that
In the meantime, here is Mr Moose Mousekwitz. He is preparing for his Rat Mitzvah.
My wife made our fluffy Moose his very own kippah, and he is ridiculously adorable in it. We are now planning on stitching him a tiny tallit.
