He's certainly my hero <3

"What’s the most heroic thing you’ve ever done?" "Wash the dishes without being asked."

So this is kind of embarrassing, but my cat needs surgery and it is crazy expensive! I've made a modest little page here on GoFundMe.com. I don't feel comfortable posting this sort of thing on Facebook because this is for a cat and not a cool project I made or an honorable fundraiser for charity, so I am feeling a little like a crazy cat lady right now (and not in the modern "being a nerd is cool" way).  SO. I am turning to semi-anonymity via Tumblr. I even put some little reward levels on there (but honestly you could talk me into drawing a cartoon of you for $5). Thank you if you have even read this far and have a wonderful evening!

A4 Papercuts by Peter Callesen

“We were a two career family. I was a nuclear engineer. I designed shields for the fuel reactors on the first nuclear submarines. He was a carpenter.”

"I’ve been a deep believer my whole life. 18 years as a Southern Baptist. More than 40 years as a mainline Protestant. I’m an ordained pastor. But it’s just stopped making sense to me. You see people doing terrible things in the name of religion, and you think: ‘Those people believe just as strongly as I do. They’re just as convinced as I am.’ And it just doesn’t make sense anymore. It doesn’t make sense to believe in a God that dabbles in people’s lives. If a plane crashes, and one person survives, everyone thanks God. They say: ‘God had a purpose for that person. God saved her for a reason!’ Do we not realize how cruel that is? Do we not realize how cruel it is to say that if God had a purpose for that person, he also had a purpose in killing everyone else on that plane? And a purpose in starving millions of children? A purpose in slavery and genocide? For every time you say that there’s a purpose behind one person’s success, you invalidate billions of people. You say there is a purpose to their suffering. And that’s just cruel."

Frozen Feminism

Alright Frozen fans, can we stop pretending this is a revolutionary girl-power tale? Not marrying the first boy you meet so you can be with the very second boy is not a step in the right direction. It's a very blurry, squinting glance in the right direction, if that. Remember how Brave's Merida fought for her own independence and saved the day with familial love and without help from a male suitor? Where were you trumpeting Disney feminists then? That's a step. My point is- it's 2014. Let's make our standards a little higher and not confuse catchy song writing with innovative cartoon feminism.
