Sarameg, I'm so sorry for your loss.
(more later when not on phone)
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got all the real work done today. Sorry if that sucked achievement away from anyone else. But I'm going to let myself collapse way earlier today, and not make another yesterday mistake.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
But few serious problems have turned up over years of vaccinations, and several studies have shown no link between vaccines and autism, a theory from the 1990s that has been widely discredited.
I get why reporters feel they have to mention autism in articles like this, but I really wish they'd stop Anyone who already has an opinion isn't going to change it based on this article, and anyone who doesn't is just going to remember this sentence a few weeks from now as "oh yeah, vaccines and autism, didn't I read something in the Washington Post about that?"
(And anyway, the hard core antivax activists have moved on from autism and are currently focusing on "OMGWTFTOXINS")

Jesse,
do you not like hugs?

So my 4 year old neighbor G just adored Mister Kitty, and was very sad to hear he was gone. So she made me a card, with me, her, her mom and Mister Kitty in it: [link]
Oh sweetheart!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Awww... that is so sweet!

OK, this is the most awesome thing I've seen all week... and maybe all month.
Via Mr. & Mrs. Great Dismal comes word of this (relatively) new and unusually heart-tugging form of adventure sport… Parahawking:
The filmmakers mention Rio at the YouTube link, but this footage looks like it was shot in the sky above the Torrey Pines bluffs of N. County San Diego, California. And here’s another Torrey Pines clip of paraglider falconers, soaring with a Harris Hawk named Shanti.
Harris Hawks are an unusual species of raptor that can adapt splendidly to relationships with humans, becoming one of the most well-loved breeds among North American falconers. (Most raptors prefer to hunt alone, but Harris Hawks hunt together in family groups, and exhibit complex social behavior.)
Other folks have been intentionally paragliding with birds of prey elsewhere in the world for about a decade now, namely Spain and Nepal.
Awesome footage. The hawks actually land on flolks' arms and take off again, while the people are paragliding.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Very sweet.

That is so adorable, sarameg.
I love this mugshot. I'd like to be that...sassy if I get busted for anything. Just not that...recalcitrant.

Because books.
Aw, sarameg. Kids are pretty awesome sometimes.
I felt inappropriately touched on the internet and had to close the window.
I thought I was going to be swallowed up by that woman's armpit.
