gauntlet:
However, what matters in all this age chat is not so much how old one is as how one looks. So long as one’s health holds out, the only problem with getting old is looking old; otherwise one’s birth date would be of little interest. If it weren’t for our mirrors, most of us would be unable to believe how old we have mysteriously become. And what we see in our mirrors is how others see...
Angie & Julia
After seeing Julie & Julia, my wife bought me “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”. Tonight’s dinner was the first attempt, a success! Tournedos Sautés aux Champignons, Gratin Dauphinois and Choux de Bruxelles Étuvés au Beurre.

azspot:
Less sex is supposedly taking place but pregnancy rates are up. That would seem to indicate that what changed is that fewer teens are now taking precautions to avoid unwanted pregnancy—and for most teens being pregnant is unwanted. This would seem to verify the criticism of the abstinence programs that what they do is encourage reckless sexuality among teens.

– oh, Queen Latifah, you have disappointed me. (via abbyjean)
I had the opposite reaction to Queen L’s statement. I think her sentiment is really touching and sincere, a compassionate impulse even though it will probably not result in actually adopting 4 Haitian babies. My own emotional...
“Mahatma Gandhi on Homosexuality”
suicideblonde:
Two gay Englishmen came to Gandhi in the 1930s and asked him what he thought of their relationship.
The Mahatma asked some questions and for a short time fell silent.
Then he said, “The greatest gift God gives us is another person to love.”
Placing the hands of each man in the other’s, he quietly and with a smile asked, “Who are we to question God’s choice?”

Sky burial →
readmorewikipedia:
Sky burial or ritual dissection was once a common funerary practice in Tibet wherein a human corpse is cut in specific locations and placed on a mountaintop, exposing it to the elements or the mahabhuta and animals – especially to birds of prey.
In Tibet the practice is known as jhator, which literally means, “giving alms to the birds.”

This is a whispery post.
If you’re going to first post about how the “Hope For Haiti” telethon is “exploitative” then later post Conan’s speech railing against cynicism then perhaps you would also like a heaping spoonful of irony.
Please remind me to unfollow you.
End whispery post.
Bill Clinton on Haiti →
abbyjean:
Before Abraham Lincoln, the United States treated Haiti like dirt — from 1804 until Lincoln became president. And we got into the Civil War and he issued the Emancipation Proclamation — because the establishment thought that the first successful slave revolt in history was a threat to slavery in America. And frankly, their neighbors weren’t much better. And that history of abuse and...
“It doesn’t bother me to tell kids my parents are gay. It does bother me to say...”
– KASEY NICHOLSON-McFADDEN, a 10-year-old boy from New Jersey, arguing for the state’s legalization of gay marriage during hearings last month. New Jersey’s Senate ultimately voted the measure down.
