The Hanging Coffins of Sagada are placed as such because locals believe, that the higher up the bodies are, the closer they would be to spirits. There are also practical reasons - keeping the bodies out of reach of dogs and enemies, and preventing water from seeping into the coffins (unlike if they were underground).

The humidity in Paris, in spring, is crazy.

A White Supremacist stabbed two men to death yesterday on the train. They were trying to defend two young Muslim women he was threatening. A third man was injured but assisted by other Good Samaritans. He's expected to survive. This is minutes from where I live: a place I pass all the time. I feel sick.

I'm so sorry, cleome.
This kind of craziness could happen anywhere. It's sad that some humans can be amazing, and some can be horrible.

Yeah.  There was a vigil last night. People brought candles and flowers. Some surviving family members spoke, but I missed that part. Attendees were invited to take the mike and speak afterwards, but I didn't. "I feel sick" is not an inspiring message to deliver to people in mourning.

We all mourn in our own ways. I do think it helps to know that others feel similarly.

I realize how attached I can get to people. When I meet people who are accepting and not bigoted at all, or when I am part of a group with high levels of acceptance and psychological safety, I get more attached. Back home I had to keep hiding who I am, so it just feels like a gigantic relief to be able to be myself.

We wouldn't want ya' any other way, Doll. In other news, pineapple-leaf fibers can be woven/pressed/processed into cloth or faux leather that's less environmentally taxing than real leather or petroleum-based alternatives. Heh. Gives new meaning to phrases like "fruit leather" or [ahem] "Unexpected fruit."    http://www.ananas-anam.com/pinatex

I want this Gil-Veloso Collaboration in the worst way, but no... I have to move some discs out of here before I can buy myself anything new.  I have a box of over 20 CDs that could be traded or donated, but I haven't checked to make sure they're all backed up on a drive yet.

Shared this on Facebook.
Thought about this today. One of our dogs, Pooch, liked to lie on the kitchen floor in a patch of sunlight. After a while the patch of light would move (because of the Earth's rotation - as if you didn't know) Pooch would sometimes try to drag the patch of sunlight back to where she was laying.
