Diary of an Enthusiast.

Fiction:

Reality:

The comedy in the show came from the family’s “odd” lifestyle, rather than from infighting and petty bickering, or worse, as was common on other shows of the time, thinly veiled references to spousal abuse. They didn’t make fun of each other or act like their children were creatures from another world. Were they strange and outside of social norms? Yes. Were they united in creating a loving home and being good, supportive parents? Absolutely.

These two support and adore their children, care for an aging mother and an estranged brother, put family before everything, and they love each other, wholly, fiercely, without reserve. They are every bit as much in love after at least a decade of marriage as they were the day they met.

Or if you want to go even more original, how about some classic Djinn styles?

These are Joshua trees.  They can be 300 years old (and at tallest, 15 meters).

Their range isn’t confined to the national park, fortunately.  They are found in spots throughout southern CA, NV, and AZ.  

This news makes me absolutely furious.  

Read those articles.  A lot of people think that you can’t “damage” the desert, because they don’t realize it’s not “just rocks and sand”, but an extremely delicate ecosystem that takes decades to grow even a little bit.  Once damaged, it probably won’t repair itself in these assholes’ lifetimes.

And this is exactly the kind of thing that the national parks were established to combat – the mindset of “what does it matter if I cut down some of these trees, there are lots more right over there; what does it matter if I go off-roading, there’s more desert than anyone really needs”.  It’s a profoundly selfish and wasteful mindset.

Just this week I went googling around – hesitantly – to see what the latest news is from Yellowstone.  All of the parks are in danger of poachers coming in while the rangers are understaffed, but I feel like Yellowstone is especially vulnerable, because its wildlife is famous, and in cases like the wolf reintroduction there, infamous amongst exactly the same kind of people who are committing vandalism throughout the parks.

Fortunately, at least so far, I haven’t found any news reports of poachers targeting the wildlife.  There are apparently a lot of local businesses (probably near many of the parks, but particularly Yellowstone) that are chipping in money for cleaning and upkeep and, one expects, security, because those businesses depend on visitors to the parks for their own survival.  (Which is why the shutdown affects far more than just the 800k workers who aren’t being paid.)

Here is my article about Desmond is Amazing and Lactatia

Main points from the article: (But please read the actual article for evidence and more details) 

Remember Desmond is 11 and Lactatia is 9

Desmond came out as gay at 2 to 3 years old and entered kindergarten openly gay

Parents began introducing him to “gay culture” at a young age

He danced at a 21 and over event at a bar 

The show took place at 3am and the audience was only adults

He was given dollar bills as he was dancing

Desmond was interviewed by Michael Alig who is a convicted murder and drug addict 

In the interview Desmond said he was a mini-club kid

For those who don’t know Club Kids was a party personality group led my Michael in the 90′s they were known for doing drugs and drinking

Desmond was in a live stream with a Drag Queen who joked about doing ketamine on a couch. Desmond responded by pretending to snort the drug

Ketamine is a sedative drug and is often used for Date rapes. Not only did an 11 year old know it was drug he also knew you could snort it. 

Lactatia became a drag queen at the age of 7

His mom began taking him to drag shows at 7 

Lactatia name is literally a based off of the word lactation, which is when milk comes out of a woman’s breast. 

He also models for an erotic clothing company

Is photos for the company were featured on a website that also sells BDSM gear
