I had never heard of this company but I immediately went to their site and now I want to be their best friends and buy everything based solely on the fact that the candle where you get to watch a tiny Manderley burn has marketing copy written by Mrs. Danvers

I will never understand this obsession that Michaels stores have with putting characters on the toilet as part of their Halloween decor 🤨 Do people really want Poe on the potty? Plus, skeletons & vampires don’t use them anyway 🤷‍♂️

I’d seen humans do irrational things (a lot of irrational things) and encounter situations that made them act in ways that were counterproductive at best.

I have experienced multiple earthquakes, but this video of a strike slip earthquake in Myanmar on March 28 triggering a surface rupture and a large and dramatic horizontal displacement—the first ever caught on camera—is astonishing. Keep your eyes on the right third of the screen, beyond the gate.

I’m disgusted that I never knew this until now. We need to know ALL of American history, not just the parts someone else decided was appropriate. They have no right to take knowledge from us that is our birthright as Americans—especially now with a gov’t determined to censor all they can 😠

When a charity sends you money as part of a donation solicitation, isn’t that an oxymoron? Do they ever get enough of a return to outweigh the money they waste sending to people who don’t donate (plus the cost of the mailing and supplies)?

Wow. I just learned something NEW — Maslow stole his “Hierarchy of Needs” model from the Blackfoot people. Holy shit. White men have literally stolen and distorted everything they touch. Guess he forgot to put “stealing from Natives” on his little list of “needs” too.

If you’re on social media & see an article / link to something interesting, it might be useful to go to that link and copy it over to a scratchpad so you can read it later. Or maybe copy the article as a whole…just in case you come back later to read it & it’s no longer there. Just a thought 🤷‍♀️
