I am getting a crazy amount of Etsy hits the past few hours coming from ‘Tumblr mobile app’ (specifically for my solar system stickers). I have no idea what this means exactly.

Can anyone shed some light?

Chasing Jonah- “Only One I’d Sing To” (by Chasing Jonah)

This song has gotten into my head.

(though after really listening to the lyrics I want to sit her down over a cup of tea and tell her to go have some kick ass adventures on her own and stop staying “on standby” for this guy.

Let me tell you a thing, about an amazing man named Patrick Stewart

I went to Comicpalooza this weekend and I was full of nervous energy as I was standing in line to ask Sir Patrick Stewart a question at his panel. I first had to thank him for a speech he had given at amnesty international about domestic violence towards women . I had only seen it a few months ago but I was still dealing with my own personal experience with a similar issue, and I didn’t know what to call it. After seeing Patrick talk so personally about it I finally was able to correctly call it abuse, in my case sexual abuse that was going to quickly turn into physical abuse as well. I didn’t feel guilty or disgusting anymore. I finally didn’t feel responsible for the abuse that was put upon me. I was finally able to start my healing process and to put that part of my life behind me.

After thanking him I asked him “Besides acting, what are you most proud of that you have done in you life (that you are willing to share with us)?”. Sir Patrick told us about how he couldn’t protect his mother from abuse in his household growing up and so in her name works with an organization called Refuge for safe houses for women and children to escape from abusive house holds. Sir Patrick Stewart learned only last year that his father had actually been suffering from PTSD after he returned from the military and was never properly treated. In his father’s name he works with an organization called Combat Stress to help those soldiers who are suffering from PTSD.

They were about to move onto the next question when Sir Patrick looked at me and asked me “My Dear, are you okay?” I said yes, and that I was finally able to move on from that part of my life. He then passionately said that it is never the woman’s fault in domestic violence, and how wrong to think that it ever is. That it is in the power of men to stop violence towards women. The moderator then asked “Do you want a hug?”

Sir Patrick didn’t even hesitate, he smiled, hopped off the stage and came over to embrace me in a hug. Which he held me there for a long while. He told me “You never have to go through that again, you’re safe now.” I couldn’t stop thanking him. His embrace was so warm and genuine. It was two people, two strangers, supporting and giving love. And when we pulled away he looked strait in my eyes, like he was promising that. He told me to take care. And I will.

Sir Patrick Stewart is an absolute role model for men. He is an amazing man and was so kind and full of heart. I want to let everyone know to please find help if you are in a violent or abusive house hold or relationship. There are organizations and people ready to help. I had countless people after the panel thanking me for sharing the story and asking him those questions. Many said they went through similar things. You are not alone.

Perfect human being.

Portraits of American’s Living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity by Danish photographer Thilde Jensen.

“MCS is a condition where our immune and central nervous system goes into extreme reactions when exposed to small amounts of daily chemicals like perfume, cleaning products, car exhaust, construction materials and pesticides. In addition, some people also react to light, fabrics, food and electromagnetic fields as emitted by computers, phones, cell towers, cars and florescent lights – making life a near impossibility. ”

My mother suffers from a severe case of MCS. Unlike the people in these photos, there is no mask she can wear because she reacts to the plastic they are made out of. She doesn’t even try to pump her own gas anymore or she’ll be sick for days.

More people are developing the condition as society continues to use more and more chemicals in everyday life. Sadly, few people are understanding of the condition until they experience it themselves, and most doctors just think you’re crazy.

The cross-dressing-bike-riding-nun in downtown Asheville today. It wasn’t until I zoomed in while editing the photo that I noticed the WATER GUN being held.

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate these facial expressions.
