          Dina recaps the party: “I went to a big house full of strange, intoxicated people. A religious guy quoted the bible, then put something in the drinks. Sex was attempted. Later, there was blood everywhere. No bodies were found.”

            “I went to a house full of people clearly on some kind of mind-altering substance. A crazy cultist attempted to perform some kind of sexual ritual with another cultist. He failed, and the rest of the people attempted to convert him into a blood-sacrifice to appease their god for him failing the ritual. Then their obvious high-preistess tried to take control of the sacrifice, but he crawled away.”

                One of the few instruments that still functions at twenty below zero. Brass and reed people often looked down on the percussionists, but there’s a point at which only the glockenspiel can carry the parade, a time you realize that the bass drum isn’t just an oversized metronome.

      Okay. I know a lot of things in the history of the universe have been called the greatest thing EVER. Some of them have even been called so by ME. They can’t all be the greatest thing.

      But Kernanator? This idea might just BE the greatest thing ever. I was planning to buy a DoA book anyway, but if it included Dina daily summaries, I would buy it EVEN HARDER.

They were a controversial fashion and faced criticism from several quarters. In 1368, Charles V of France issued an edict banning their construction and use in Paris. An English poem from 1388 complained that men were unable to kneel in prayer because their toes were too long.[37] The c. 1440 morality play Castle of Perseverance includes the footwear in the

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her

Celebrating the last hours of Pride Month by posting one of my favorite things, the letter that stands as the first written evidence of “queer” used as a positive, self-ID term, written from Cyril Coeur de Leon aka “The Countess” to Billy Reynolds.
A typewritten transcription of a letter 

Flat 14a,
Montague Hotel, Montague Street,
Russell Square, W.C.1.

My Dear Billy,
just a note to say that I am very disappointed about
you, I honestly thought that you were queer, ax& but different from the others, and I liked you very much. I didnt intend coming to the Club last night only I felt that I must see you. I have only been queer since I came to London about two years ago, before then I knew nothing about it, as I told you I am married and have a little girl two years of age, and I still like girls occasionally, there are veryfew boys with whom I want to have an affair with, I like them all as friends
but nothing more. I have a boy staying with me and who is really my affair, we have been together now since I came to town and I like him very much, and I think he is a better pal to me than any woman could ever be, altho' sometimes I wish that I was still normal as queer
people are very temperamental and dissatisfied. I honestly hoped to have an affair with you Billy, and I shall only come to the Club to
see you. Well it is now 10-p.m. and I have just got up out of bed so must close down and have a bath and dress, and hope that you will
excuse my telling you all this only as I say, I like you very very much and feel that I can talk this way to you. Please be a dear boy and destroy this note, and do not mention it to anyone as this is jusu between you and I. I shall look forward to seeing you in about a couple of hours. Until then.
Your Very Sincere friend always,
Cyril Coeur
de Leon.
