World Children's Day is actually celebrated on November 20th. However, some countries do observe it today. And I feel a summer day fits it better than a winter one. Sure, kids get snow in winter (in some places) but their Summer Vacation starts, or is close to starting, around this time. And most of them are more excited about that. (I know I used to be.)

So, it's no secret that people on the internet don't care much for kids. Is that still a thing or has it maybe changed? (Then again, do big kids ever stop thinking they're better than smaller kids simply because they're older?)

I'll try not make any blanket statements about them.
There are four species of blanket octopuses in total. What sets them apart (aside from the colorful webbing) is that the females are gigantic when compared to the males, with the former reaching lengths of up to 2 meters (6 feet) and the latter only 2,4 cm (less than an inch).
So yeah, only the girls sport the rainbow membrane. And it's actually used as defense mechanism: when threatened, they will unfurl it to make themselves look bigger.

Once again I've had the good fortune of residing next to a river (like a 10 minute walk away). In this case it's the Spree (not making it up, that's what it's called; as for what kind of spree it is, I don't really know yet).
Being next to a body of water has always had a calming effect on me. I don't know why, but it's a nice feeling. I haven't seen any frogs though. But hey, can't ask for the moon, right?

I was? I don't know. Maybe some 15th century English soldiers who fought in that war felt called out.

Happy Joan of Arc Feast Day! 3 comments

· 3 years ago
Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc in French) is the Patron Saint of France, canonized in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV. Her Feast Day is the same day as the day she was burned for heresy in 1431, when she was only 19. This is probably because no one knows her actual birthday (just the year, 1412).
Okay, so get this. She was born a simple peasant girl, while a war had been raging for over 100 years. One day, when she was 16, she claimed to have heard a call from Michael the Archangel which told her that she is to help the French army defeat the English. And that's exactly what happened. Her victories paved for the ultimate French victory in the Hundred Years' War.
Sound like your average YA fantasy plot, right? Except it's actual historical fact. I just wish it didn't have a Game of Thrones-style ending.
Nevertheless, her impact is still felt to this day; since old curmudgeony men are still afraid of teenage girls.

I don't know if anyone cares, but that's not how BDSM works at all (at least in real life). Consent is very important, and discussing your limits and the details of each session is key. Also there's a reason safety words exist.

Naturally, nothing can be done if one party keeps insisting they're into something they're not.

I mean, eventually, especially since you requested them. And you got some good taste, too. I really liked Blue Beattle in Young Justice, and Constantine in the Justice League Dark movies.

Why? Because he's Batman! Apparently, he's the second most popular superhero in existence (after Superman). But he'll always be #1 for me. Him playing second fiddle to Superman is the greatest injustice, and it cannot go un-avenged. At least his movies/shows/games are a lot better overall.
The Dark Knight has had a long history ever since his debut on March 30th 1939. And just like Superman, he wasn't afraid to kill people in early appearances.
Another neat bit of trivia is the movie he watched with his parents the night he lost them was "The Mark of Zorro" (1940) starring Tyrone Power. Pretty fitting since Zorro was an inspiration for Batman himself.
