Hey Sam - are you talking about "If you believe" from Prince of Egypt? Cause I searched and couldn't find a song called "There can be miracles" and am desperately curious.

Yeah, it’s tehcnically When You Believe, I went back and changed it -- I always mistake the title (both lyrics are in the chorus) because I haev a ukulele tab version that calls it There Can Be Miracles.

Damn, Six year olds sure learn different stuff than I did when I was six. This is so cute!

When I was six I was obsessed with stop motion animation and other monster-movie special effects, but when I was six home movie cameras were still a bit of a luxury, so I just had books and Wil Vinton movies -- I’m so glad that kids now have access to so much I didn’t and can make little animations like this!

May I ask why post-apocalypse are a hard no? There are definitely some genres that I look at once and back away from at high speed.

I did an essay about it here on tumblr a while ago that I can’t find now, when I was getting about one recommendation a month for Zombies Run, but the short answer is personal taste, really. Part of it is that very few apocalypse or post-apocalypse stories are built on hope; most seem to be a kind of voyeuristic exploration of people being awful to each other, which is not only something I’m not interested in but also sort of contradictory to how we know people react in disasters. Rebecca Solnit wrote a great nonfiction study of this called A Paradise Built In Hell, but the book also sort of proved to me that I didn’t want to read postapocalyptic literature regardless of its levels of hope, because I had a really hard time with the nonfiction book. So yeah, I could talk about the flaws in the genre, but I also make exceptions on occasion (Snowpiercer comes to mind) and it boils down to basically “It’s not my bag.”

This sounds counterintuitive, but try a fine sawtooth edge. It's what we use at the library and if you get a dedicated cardboard cutter, you can even cut circles out for the cryptids to jump in or peer out.

Yeah, someone in asks suggested to me a cardboard knife with a serrated safety edge, and apparently they run about $8 at hardware stores, so I’m going to pick one up and try one of those.
