GoFundMe for the 1st Navajo-English Children’s Educational Show!

My local news covered this and I have yet to see it get any sort of larger attention, but this exactly what the media landscape for kids needs. A show for children that features Navajo characters and teaches the language at the same time, it was developed by two Navajo women, Dr. Shawna Begay and Charmaine Jackson, and was originated “by a team of Navajo filmmakers, writers, producers and artists”. They’re seeking funding to make more episodes and develop new characters, and we can help them out!

Craig Dunain Mental Hospital - Inverness, Scotland

Last week, I got attacked by the most painful and persistent hiccups of my life at work. My co-worker heard me hiccuping and said, absently, “Got the hiccups?” and I said miserably, “Yeah.” And she said, “Prove it.”

And I glared at her, because why the fuck should I prove anything to her? And I waited for the next hiccup, which would prove that she was a dick and that I was, indeed, suffering from hiccups. And… that hiccup never came. And she smirked and said, “My daughter calls me whenever she has hiccups and when I ask her to prove it, she never can.”

And that was weird. But later that night, I got hiccups AGAIN, so I said to my boyfriend, “I HAVE HICCUPS.” and he said “Yeah, you do.” And I said, “No, ask me to prove it.” And he gave me a look like I was a crazy person, and I hiccuped again and insisted he ask me to prove it and he did and BAM. I couldn’t do it!

And a few days LATER, I got the hiccups WHILE DRIVING ALONE, and I said, out loud, “DUDE, I have the hiccups.” And then, in another voice, “PROVE IT.” And bam. Couldn’t do it.

The moral of the story? Apparently hiccups are little shits who refuse to perform on command. 

There you go. Hiccup cure. I can’t promise it’ll work for everyone, but so far, it’s worked for me like six times.

Halloween Tip #1 Reminder! It is against the rules to use magic to carve a pumpkin. You 100% have to carve it by hand.

Why you might ask?

I’m a firm believer that pumpkin carving is a precursor to The Purge. Early celebrators realized that humanity needs to take the time at least once a year to completely gut something with a knife. It’s therapeutic. So carve a pumpkin, and make the world a safer place.
