ASK.   Submit   I know what I like, and everything I like goes here.

I'm currently apprenticing to tattoo & spend half of my waking life in the great state of Missouri in order to pursue my goal. In the rest of my free time I'm parenting the most wonderful little boy on this planet and loving every minute of it.
To get by, I own/operate an Etsy shop called 111 Vintage. It can be found at: www.etsy.com/shop/ladypatience

Crazy about the following:

Black holes and stellar cannibalism, philosophical mapmakers, drawing and watercolors, tattooing and its history, biking, painting, reading/writing, parenting, old things, ugly things, the moon.

The study also found that characters’ interactions with both domesticated and wild animals decreased.  Check out the story on GOOD→  this is one of the many reasons that we read “The Lorax” to Milo on an almost-daily basis. homeboy is going to learn to respect the truffula trees whether he likes it or not.

Nature Goes Missing from Kids’ Picture Books

Children’s books with an explicit environmental message have always been rare, but a new study shows that, over the past few decades, fewer children’s books have included any images of nature. While awareness of the environment’s importance has increased over time, picture books increasingly show a world that humans had shaped. The study also found that characters’ interactions with both domesticated and wild animals decreased.

this is one of the many reasons that we read “The Lorax” to Milo on an almost-daily basis. homeboy is going to learn to respect the truffula trees whether he likes it or not.

I just laughed at your response so hard.
