In recent years, biologists have recognized that birds engage in play. Juvenile Common Ravens are among the most playful of bird species. They have been observed to slide down snowbanks, apparently purely for fun. They even engage in games with other species, such as playing catch-me-if-you-can with wolves, otters and dogs.[77] Common Ravens are known for spectacular aerobatic displays, such as flying in loops or interlocking talons with each other in flight.[78][79]
They are also one of only a few wild animals who make their own toys. They have been observed breaking off twigs to play with socially.[80]

- Having sex every day.
- Saving sex for your wedding night.
- Never having sex.
- Having sex with different people.
- Having sex with one person.
- Having sex with a person of your same gender.
- Loving sex.
- Hating sex.
- Being loud.
- Being quiet.The only thing wrong with sex?
When it’s not consensual.
Because that’s not sex. That’s rape.
Reblogging again because this post is so important.

Well, I am counting the days until my divorce is final. We were able to come to an “amicable” arrangement within a short period of time. By the middle of January I shall be a single parent of two kids. I have support. I have a great boyfriend who helps and loves my children and they love him. I just wish my ex could be more civil to me. He has the kids now for Xmas break in Atlanta and in 4 days I’ve spoken to one of them just once. (He also calls me a gold-digging whore) I just hope that he doesn’t say anything bad about me in front of them (it will bite him in the butt, not me). I afford him that courtesy. We have to co-parent for life. I hope he can get over his hatred of me, which I believe is a hatred of himself that he projects onto me. He knows he messed up. He knows he lost out. I just wish him happiness and peace. Also, I hope he gets laid soon.
Hmmm…. I’m less about elbows, more about degree of hunched shoulders. But the sentiment remains the same!
YES.
Love it! I’ve decided no TV today. I am READING.
Very helpful infographic about how boobs make you stupid or a bad role model or whatever, apparently.
Well, my daughter hates Barbies and would prefer a ray-gun.

All I can think right now is how many moms have Christmas present hidden all over their house and were told this morning that their child is dead. How many of them will now look at a Christmas tree, knowing their child will not be there on Christmas morning to open the presents lovingly purchased and wrapped and hidden? How many of these parents struggled for years to get pregnant, and now their kid, because of some lunatic with an easily accessible gun, is dead? How many grandparents who waited for 30 years to have a grandchild, have plane tickets booked for the Holidays, and now need to change those plans and come up earlier to bury their grandchild.
And then the residual trauma. How many of these families will survive? How many of them will be driven to divorce by the trauma. How many of the siblings will never, ever be the same? I talked to my mom on the phone, and she is just inconsolable and simply can not watch the coverage. She’s worried the parents will kill themselves. This shooter and his easily accessed guns did not just kill 27 people. He ruined thousands of lives. And let’s not forget about the first responders. I don’t care how tough of a cop or a fireman you are, you will never be the same. We’ll have dozens of people with PTSD, leading to alcoholism and drug abuse and family problems.
It’s just so god damned awful, it is hard to comprehend. Yet the same fucking assholes who enable this kind of stuff are now going to tell us all that now is not the time to talk about gun control (lest we “politicize it”) and that we need more guns to keep this from happening again.
This.
Yeah. =…(
