Huh. Just realized from finding references that Calvin is pretty consistently left handed. His parents are both right handed, too, so it’s not a question of just making an occasional mistake or anything

Yeah! Ill want to keep an eye out to make sure, but at least when eating Calvin always uses his left hand. I also know he often complains about stuff like scissors, and often struggles with craft projects as well.

Yeah! Such a cool analysis. I wonder if one of Watterson's kids (or one he knew) was lefthanded and he could see the quiet barriers and obstacles set up for them when they couldnt express it themselves.

under US law, it's illegal for anyone who's not a member of a recognised native tribe to own an eagle feather. the penalty is a $100,000 fine.

i used to collect feathers (illegally) as a teenager and the thing is that it's incredibly important for feathers from wild birds to be illegal to possess because it ensures that they never become fashionable to wear. the reason we passed the migratory bird act was because the american and european fashion industry was driving species to extinction in a timespan of years. not just decades. the ecological devastation of exporting birds for hats was absolutely insane and people were watching wetlands and forests and meadows just empty out in realtime. look at the wikipedia article for the plume trade.

I had the privilege to take some higher level math classes a long time ago when I was in college. And I remember thinking that, at some high level, math seems like philosophy where people are pondering questions just in an effort to understand the world around them, not to to build a bridge or give the change back after selling a candy bar.

Keep seeing posts about “from oh sweet baby Angel to he calls me daddy too pipeline” about Castiel (S4vs S15 Cas) and it’s always funny to me because it LOOKS that way, sure, but in PRACTICE? It’s the other way around. S4 Cas wouldn’t put up with half the shit S15 Cas did and I think that’s somehting

do it while the ground falls out from under you; do it while everything you loved goes up in smoke; do it while the dream of your future is still burning embers around you; build anew on the hot ashes of everything you worked for; keep going, keep loving, keep living, even as all you want is to turn back (there is no turning back; it is gone already); do it through grief, which feels like fear in the body

The tag I have seen most often on this post is "I needed to hear this," and I am so, so grateful to have said something that was needed. These words came out of the depths of my own grief, and I am so grateful to have made this small connection with others in the midst of it. Grief is isolating and indescribable, but none of us are alone.
