I just saw a video on FB of some white woman who was on Ellen for doing a viral rendition of a Missy Elliott song, and sure, fine, whatever, except…

she’s holding a fucking shofar?! Completely out of context??? And apparently she’s performing with it everywhere? 

Anyway, I did a quick Google because this did not sit right with me and apparently she’s part of some weird Evangelical and/or Messianic group that appropriates parts of Judaism for a Christian purpose, which is hugely gross and upsetting.

So anyway, I haven’t seen this video come up on Tumblr yet, but if people could refrain from endorsing this woman should it start making the rounds, that would be much appreciated. No matter how funny or quirky she is, she should not be rewarded for pillaging a culture that does not belong to her! 

@isabelknight – Thanks! I do appreciate it.

Not nearly as unusual a happening as it should be, but I just get so tired sometimes. Especially with people outside that pub being the most common aggravation for a while now. I’m past there a lot, and of course alcohol is such a great excuse for lovely behavior like that 🙄

If traffic hadn’t been so heavy right then, I probably would have detoured further up the street away from that crossing right at the pub. After seeing that there was only one group of about half a dozen dudes at the outside tables, and no women in the group.

Shouldn’t need to avoid crossing there and walking by the pub, of course. But the predictability left me even madder and more exasperated today.

A room called ‘The Doll Room’ that’s full of dolls is… mundane.

But a room called ‘The Doll Room’ that only has one doll in it? That’s fresh

If a person shows you their Doll Room and it’s full of dolls, they probably just like dolls, y’know? It’s normal, it’s a hobby

But if they show you their Doll Room and it only has one doll… something’s going on with that one doll!

Not looking forward to it, but I had better go ahead soon and try to retrieve some packages from a neighbor I don’t know that I’ve every talked to before 😕

Amazon not only split an order up into multiple packages for no obvious reason, they came while I was asleep and left them all at a neighbor’s. Glad they found somebody home at that time, but still. Wish the delivery person had just put them over the back gate again, since it hasn’t been rainy today or anything.

TIL In 1915 A millionaire named Cecil Chubb bought his wife Stonehenge. She didn’t like it, so in 1918 he gave it to the nation

via reddit.com

Sir Cecil Chubb, who’d had no intention of bidding at the sale, bought it ‘on a whim’ as a gift for his wife who, it’s claimed, was none too pleased.

For the price of £6,600, the equivalent of £392,00 in today’s money, Sir Cecil Chubb’s intention that a “Salisbury man ought to buy it” was realised.

The story is from 2010, and one inflation calculator is showing that as the equivalent of £658,963.12 in 2018 (£529,140 in 2010). Idk which figure is closer, but that still sounds pretty cheap at auction now.

Oh man just watching what’s going on in Massachusetts with all the explosions and house fires. Nightmare.

just say no to natural gas infrastructure! they’ve been trying to build these explodable gas lines through small towns in new hampshire for export to europe as well. they skimp on building materials and maintenance just to make more money for themselves,and don’t seem to care about putting people in danger. currently they are trying to put a pipeline right next to a water reservoir that serves a major city in new hampshire. great idea! this is awful.
