A bowl of yarn, a skein of noodles.

My brother recently got a dog. I was expecting a Rottweiler or a golden lab or something bigger. Nope! He got a Pomeranian! He’s 6’5” and his dog is smaller than my cat.

His name is Sir Puffington but mostly we just call him Puff. Puff puff puff!

Last night I decided to try out a new craft: making dream catchers! My mother and grandmother go to pow wows with our tribe up in Virginia, but I’m usually at home. Apparently they have some really neat crafts, including jewelry at the pow wows.

It took a lot of patience to figure out the threading, but for my first one, I think it came out wonderfully. Apologies for the poor photo quality. The lighting in my room isn’t the best. The color of the beads is a nice turquoise. 

I decided to take a stab (haha…ha. Ow.) at needle felting today. In this modest attempt, I managed to only break one needle. It’s a coffee sleeve with the word ‘cunt’ on it. I think it came out moderately well, although I’m sure I’ll practice and get better.

I’m probably going to make a few for next year’s rendition of Vagina Monologues at USC (since the cross stitched ‘cunt’ was pretty popular). 

Stabby, stabby, stab. 

I yarn bombed a stop sign near my house. 

People drove by and were giving me thumbs up. 

Maybe Columbia will be cute at some point.

Actual 4th Grade science test in South Carolina

if you decide you want to secede again you go for it okay?

Hi, actual South Carolina resident here. Nice to meet you. I’m sure that most of you think we’re idiots here or ‘hicks’ because we live in the south.

Surprisingly enough, we’re not. In fact, South Carolina has one of the *only* A’s in the US for teaching evolution. Above is *not* an actual 4th grade science test in South Carolina public schools. It may be one in a private school or even a home school test, but I assure you it is not from South Carolina.

Here is a map of the US with grades for Evolution Literacy. It’s from the Fordam Institute’s website. 

You see that shade of red? That is an A. 

Yes, South Carolina received an A.

An A.

Not an F. 

Not something to secede or make fun of us for seceding about, I’d say.

Check your facts, judgmental assholes.
