Okay, gang, I set up an Etsy store for my quilts. Feel free to reblog, pin, stumble, lick, press, schmoogle, talk shit to your friends, etc.

There’s a new mag in town. Libertine Magazine: “For Interested Women”
Founder and editor Debbi Evans explains:
“to redefine the ‘women’s interest’ category. In addition to luxury lifestyle content we cover tech, science and business, and celebrate high achieving maverick women for the contents of their brains, not their beds. There is no fashion or beauty content in issue 1, unless you count a piece on the semiotics of handbags. There’s nothing like it, and we’re really excited (and relieved!) to have finally got it out there.”
I love everything about this.
SO COOL

Holy shit.

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Moore Tornado Survivor Finds Her Dog in Rubble
This morning, Moore, Oklahoma resident Barbara Garcia was in the middle of an interview with CBS News about losing her home and her beloved companion dog to the deadly tornado, when something miraculous unfolded right in front of them and the viewers at home (starting at 1:32). Just try not to tear up.
Ohhhhhh, wow.
It’s been so, so hard coming to terms with the loss of Jake. I’m still crying every day. Mornings are tough… for a sleepy split-second I always think I hear him sighing from his bed. Or I expect to see his little face peering over the mattress, checking on me. And evenings are tough… Jake used to lie outside and watch the driveway for Randy to get home, and then we’d all wheel out the trashcans or check the mail “as a family” because Jake wouldn’t go if we ALL didn’t go, he made a big dramatic thing about it. So it’s all tough, really, all day is tough.
We’ve talked about other dogs, and we’ve been sort of cautiously researching the rescue sites in our area. I say cautiously because I don’t know that we’re ready to make a decision yet. There have been a couple of dogs that have caught my eye— one in particular, a 4-year-old Australian cattle dog who was pulled off the euthanasia list— but I’m worried we might be making a move out of grief rather than a genuine desire to adopt another dog. I’m worried if we do something too soon, we might find ourselves inadvertently resenting a new dog purely because the new dog isn’t the dog we’re grieving for. I don’t want to try to replace Jake, but I do want another dog. What’s the time stamp protocol on that?
I live in Oklahoma.
I am located not 15 miles from where this storm took place today. Back in 1999 on May 3rd a violent tornado ripped through the EXACT areas that the one today did and took 36 lives on that date in 1999.
All of my family members are accounted for, but there are many, many people in my state without homes, power, transportation, or anything that they’ve known for their entire lives. They are missing their own family and friends.
Moore, OK looks like an apocalyptic like warzone.
The associated press just posted: “State medical examiner’s office: 37 killed in Oklahoma tornado; death toll expected to rise.”
I hope that any of my followers out there that live here in Oklahoma are safe and well. These tornado outbreaks have also ripped through some of Texas and Kansas, so again for all of you living in those areas as well I hope that you and your family are safe and sound.
This tornado today, what they are saying is the worst one in history, ripped through neighborhoods, elementary schools, hospitals, businesses, and farms. The devastation here is unreal. There are so many children and people still missing.
Now, the point of this post. I am asking for help for my state. Please help. Not for me, but for my neighbors, friends, and for people who are in desperate need. Please.
The best way to assist families is to make a donation to http://www.redcross.org/okc or http://www.redcross.org or by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. If you’d like to donate to Salvation Army instead you can text STORM to 80888.

Hey facebook, I know the person who makes these. Pretty sure I could ask her. Also stop stalking what I look at on etsy.
HI ERIN.
MY PLAN IS WORKING.
Airport Stuff
Me: I’m opting out of the body scanners.
TSA: Ok. You’re gonna get a pat down.
Me: ok. Knock yourself out.
TSA: Just out of curiosity, why did you opt your of the scanner?
Me: I figure if you guys touch enough balls, eventually you’ll push back against your superiors.
TSA: Naw, not us, man!
Me: …
Never go through the back spatter machines. I travel with enough cancer as it is, thanks. I’ve been through two airports recently where they’d removed the back spatter machines and replaced them with the machines that use radio waves. A step in the right direction.

Is this just a really unflattering angle or is Andy Gibb sporting a pot belly in his big ass poster?
