gwydion* Wisconsin is banning talk of climate change etc. for a board that handles land use, etc. on the grounds that mention of the reality of what they need to plan for and a belief in science and scientific evidence is inherently "political activity" unlike ignoring reality for ideological and political reasons which is magically somehow non political.

* "TN tweaks gun laws ahead of NRA convention:"
* TW: "Another disturbing video of police violence:"
* Incredibly useful clarification of terminology relating to Romani and some other groups confused with them. http://gwydionmisha.tumblr.com/post/116083001797/terminology
* Bjorn to be Wild Jason is doing a video podcasty thing. "Safe Children, Sane Parents: The Family Safety Podcast:"
* I just figured out where the missing money went. I had to get my meds out of hock at the pharmacy before they went away and the credit card payment was slow to clear, plus cat food and litter. That is significantly less alarming than it just disappearing.
* How Geeky am I? I got excited at the start of Wolf Hall when I realized "Ah Robin, Gentle Robin" was the theme song. Actual period appropriate music instead of jarring modern impositions! And one so instantly recognizable by an English composer. I've only seen the first episode, and they don't seem to be using other music, but how cool would it be if they fit one of Henry's compositions in there? I think I would lose my shit if they played "Pastyme With Good Companye," for example. Look, I said I was a Geek, okay?
My Dad and I used to sing that in the car on the way to school in the morning.
