This is a very rare and awesome find. This is a crab claw that has been opalised in a similar way that petrified wood is. Very rare and very beautiful specimen.
Florida tomato harvesters are still paid by the piece. The average piece rate today is 50 cents for every 32-lbs of tomatoes they pick, a rate that has remained virtually unchanged since 1980. As a result of that stagnation, a worker today must pick more than 2.25 tons of tomatoes to earn minimum wage in a typical 10-hour workday — nearly twice the amount a worker had to pick to earn minimum wage thirty years ago, when the rate was 40 cents per bucket. Most farmworkers today earn less than $12,000 a year.
Here's a lovely 1850 country house in Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Carcassonne, France. It has 17bds, 11ba €2.835M / $3.08M. But, look at what comes with it-
A mini gothic cathedral. We'll tour the house first, then go inside the chapel.
The 1850 home was renovated and it's light and bright, but still retains an old world feel.
In the large dining room, the wainscoting is still there, but they've painted it gray. The doors were left original, though.
The kitchen has very modern cabinets, but they were made to fit into the original footprint. A table was attached to the island to make it a true eat-in kitchen.
There's also a delightful terrace that feels like you're sitting in a gazebo. The property has a pool and that might be it, in the distance.
The library has a nice fireplace and lots of built-in shelving.
Thru pocket doors is a spacious main-floor bedroom.
Either the main floor bedroom or this one could be the primary. It looks like the owners use this one. It's spacious and has a lovely fireplace.
The tub in this bath looks like a giant bowl.
This is a lovely bedroom. It's pretty big, too.
The rustic family has an interesting large fireplace, tree trunk beams, and a mezzanine.
The mezzanine includes a large casual TV area.
A lower floor was made into a 2nd very big kitchen/dining room combo for entertaining a large group, maybe a venue for wedding parties.
Now the chapel that looks like a mini cathedral. This would be a great wedding venue.
The ornate gothic carving in here is amazing. It has an altar behind an iron railing.
The stone work is no less magnificent than in big cathedrals.
This building alone is worth buying the property. It even has a small choir loft.
And, look at the details of this loft. It's just a stunning building.
The grounds are beautiful and the private lake is large enough for a row boat. There are 10 hectares of land (about 24 acres) and they include a pool that isn't shown.
because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.
even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"
like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that's hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.
also it doesnt work anymore but you can vote for your favorite tickle bug on their original official webpage
important you understand that I actually think Rosco is the best one but I vote yes on Jazz because how the fuck can't you. I mean come on. This is Jazz we're talking about!
I’m having a meltdown. When I was 9 years old I read an article in a magazine called Backyard Adventures about how this antelope, the saiga, was on the verge of extinction. I enlisted the help of my best friend and launched a fundraising campaign called Save the Saigas. We sold lemonade, had bake sales, sold belongings, yelled at strangers as they passed in their cars. Our parents were able to match the money we made. Our school helped. It wasn’t much, it didn’t save them, but it helped the organization at least a little bit.
Y’all. The saigas have been saved. A little piece of my passionate child heart that has seemed hopelessly lost and endlessly disappointed for a long time feels so soothed. Maybe it’s not all hopeless. Maybe our efforts aren’t a complete waste. Maybe we keep trying and actually hope for the best.
