Michelle Obama on Being First Lady
gilmoure:enjoli:robot-heart-politics:apsies:urg:
From the Time Interview
You know, I had this vision when … as we were going through the campaign and you started thinking about, okay, what if my husband wins and I’m the First Lady, what are the kind of things that I’d like to do? And you always get that question … or, I got that question a lot over the course of the campaign. But one of...

My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words...

The Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery quotes the “Negro National Anthem” in his benediction:
Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the...

Today is the final day of the presidency of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. I thought about which image would summarize — also in a symbolic way — these past eight years, this pair and what they have achieved, and I think it’s this image.
During his first campaign, George W. Bush liked to talk about how he was a “compassionate conservative”, and he turned out to be the exact...
Bloody men
mabelmoments:
Researchers have found when a woman sees images of men, her smile muscle is more active during the follicular stage of the monthly cycle, and they suggest it may be a way of increasing the chances of intimacy. Progesterone, the hormone that prepares the womb for a possible pregnancy, is thought to be implicated. via independent.co.uk

Mystery Roar from Faraway Space Detected →
wooliebear:
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Space is typically thought of as a very quiet place. But one team of astronomers has found a strange cosmic noise that booms six times louder than expected.
The roar is from the distant cosmos. Nobody knows what causes it.

PISCES (February 19-March 20): To exist as a Piscean, as I’m sure you’re well aware, is never a straightforward proposition. As the sign that embodies the profound culmination of the psychic-emotional experiences of all the other zodiac signs, you proceed through life according to a logic uniquely your own… and with perpetual sensitivity to the irrational matrix of transpersonal...
Seven Things No One Tells You About Marriage →
alicia:
1. You will look at the person lying next to you and wonder, Is this it? Forever? 2. You’ll work harder than you ever imagined. 3. You will sometimes go to bed mad (and maybe even wake up madder). 4. Getting your way is usually not as important as finding a way to work together. 5. A great marriage doesn’t mean no conflict; it simply means a couple keeps trying to get it right. 6....

I attended my first Icelandic protest in Reykjavik on New Year’s Eve, and here is some of the footage that I thought might be interesting to share.
Basically, several hundred protesters met at this square downtown, as they usually do, and marched across the street to the Hotel Borg, which is where there was a live TV broadcast being filmed inside, including certain Icelandic...

3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late
oneafter909:
trappedintime:
1 // You may need more sleep than you think. Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were “well rested” actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the lightbulb (damn you, Edison!), the average person slumbered 10...
Yes, yes Astrobarry you can shut up now. Gah.
PISCES (February 19-March 20): We’ve seen it approaching for a while now. The definitive moment when we finally must take action on whatever situation we’ve watched worsen, deepen, deaden, intensify, slip further down the hole, or turn ever more entrenched or hopeless… And at last, that moment has arrived. The signs are everywhere. Things will change—either through our courageous...

PISCES (February 19-March 20): The battle for conscious control of your life—and let’s be frank, Pisces, this is nothing less than a fight—shall not be waged away from public view. Delightful as it might seem to imagine taking care of all your emotional business in a secluded bubble, where nobody can steal glimpses of the heavy baggage you’ve been lugging around (and are hopefully in...
