MAY THE BRICKS BE WITH YOU A scale model of an X-Wing fighter, made from more than five million Lego bricks, went on display in New York City’s Times Square on Thursday. It’s 11 feet tall, 43 feet long and 44 feet wide, it’s the largest Lego model ever built. Coming soon: a life-size Jar Jar Binks to ruin everything.

HAHAHAHA! That is amazing though.
Good morning my Tumblr friends! Gott sei dank es Freitag ist! Or something. I used to know it in German. Another beautiful day, in the low 80s for a high, and all is well. We have an open house tonight so we will be preparing for that. Cleaning mostly. The rest of the day is for writing and working on PFO. :3 Have a great day everyone!! <3
Oh and my inspiration is some western finery for you. :3
Good night my Tumblr friends! I am yawning like the Fox. Time for bed. I want to dream of Xandyr and Evra. Happy dreams to you all!!
<3 :3

This is a cool website that lets you calculate your age had you lived on any of the other planets in the Solar System. It not only gives your age in days and years but also tells you when you can celebrate your next birthday if, say, you lived on Mars.
Read this!!! It’s good!
NSFW - this is a sexual scene lasting about 12 pages.
You can read it here. I hope you all will enjoy it.

In her latest column, Ann Coulter laments the 1965 immigration bill that ended a racist quota system which favored immigrants from northern and western Europe. She said that “Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 Immigration Act was designed to boost the number of immigrants from the Third World,” and now “we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel by holding ourselves out as the welfare ward of the world.”
Just in case it wasn’t clear already, Coulter is talking about Latino immigrants, warning that the “Gang of 8” immigration reform bill will “turn the country into Mexico” and expand the welfare state.
“Was there a vote when the country decided to turn itself into Mexico?” Coulter asked, arguing that if “Rubio’s amnesty goes through, the Republican Party is finished.”

We could be so lucky!!! Ann, do us all a favor and create your own little Republican country. You can hate and be as racist as you like.
Some how we have lost the thrust of compassion and allowed the mean spirited back into power pushing money as the only viable measure of success. Their money. Their success. To hell with others.
War is insanity upheld as righteous. While many believe war is what often drives economic recovery as it may have with WWII, the current ‘war on terror’ has perpetuated a terrible economic failure. So as Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing something over and over again expecting different results.” The only thing war does is pollute our world, our hearts and spirit. It destroys, and sows resentment, hatred and pain. War is evil and is done for the most mundane and vulgar of reasons, to make money, and for power over others. That is why it is evil.
Well, here’s a depressing statistic.
People ask why would the oil industry lie to the people? It makes no sense since they want our money and it only hurts them in the end. Well no, it does not. We have to buy from them. We are a captive consumer. And the wealthy and powerful lie to avoid the complications of the truth.

The state’s manslaughter laws weren’t supposed to apply to women who lose pregnancies. Prosecutors don’t seem to care.God help us. How do we keep electing such a batch of buffoons to our legislatures?
Until we learn to counter the Tea Party we will continue getting this kind of ridiculous legislation. Partly due to the privatism of our incarceration system. The Tea Party began with well meaning unhappy people but has been the bucket containing the worst of the far right with their myths and dangerously anti-humanitarian ideas. If they sound nutty when you read or listen to them expound their nonsense, it is because it is nutty.

This photo left me speechless, this is what respect is.
this is what grace is
oh….shit..
wow…
While I cannot claim this of the pictured individual, many racists of this calibre would rather die than have a person of color save their life. Many stories have been written on this idea. The respect these health workers show for him is palpable. They respect and care for him as a human being, not a racist or a caucasian.

Excessive TV in childhood linked to long-term antisocial behavior, New Zealand study shows
Children and adolescents who watch a lot of television are more likely to manifest antisocial and criminal behaviour when they become adults, according to a new University of Otago, New Zealand, study published online in the journal Pediatrics.
The study followed a group of around 1,000 children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-73. Every two years between the ages of 5 and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched more television were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood.
Study co-author Associate Professor Bob Hancox of the University’s Department of Preventive and Social Medicine says he and colleagues found that the risk of having a criminal conviction by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.
Greetings my sexy and artful friends!
