I do really love the idea of kintsugi.
What do we want? Incremental change! When do we want it? In due course!
Here, here!
I am so not looking forward to this bikeshedding meeting this afternoon.
That is a perfect term. Also what is your tag about?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It was a line from last night's episode of Adventure Time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Here are a few examples of kintsugi, a point of view I wholeheartedly adopted some time ago. On the page where these images were found was a photograph of a woman whose stretch marks had been colored in gold. Kintsugi is an awesome concept, and Liese, it's a wonderful theme for a song. I would love to hear it, as well.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have trumped that. I have purchased (and am at this moment ripping) a mid-90s educational video called Biodiversity: Wild About Life!
Is this a Chris Evans thing?

Oh, that's way less fun than I was hoping!

I do really love the idea of kintsugi, as well. New term to me, and I'll have to look up some stuff. It's totally intriguing to me.
Looking forward to hearing/reading the song, Liese.

My dad's dietary choices have changed. Of course, he has no teeth, and hates wearing his dentures, but he swears he never liked garlic, or ate sauerkraut, when he totally did. Mom and Suzy try to make him as healthy choices as possible, but he's picky, but even though his diet is pretty repetitive now, he gets adequate nutrition, and Suzy is really good at sneaking fruit and veg into things he does like.
It saddens me, because my dad was the one who made me into an adventurous eater. Suzy (my sister) brought home a small mess of morels from a guy at work (advantage of working with MO rednecks -- free morels, free venison and no matter what kind of side work you need done cheap, someone can do it, or has a cousin who can.)
Daddy said he's never eaten a morel before, and he was the one who took us mushroom hunting on our 11 acres when we were kids, taught us how to soak the bugs out, batter them and fry them in butter. SO GOOD. I just about crapped when I saw a morel stand in KC, and morels were like, $40/lb. We used to come back with Wonder bread sacks FULL.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sounds like the conversations I overhear from eager 20-somethings laying out their plans to retire at 35 through a combination of real estate, stock markets, and this great opportunity their father-in-law will get them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I really need to learn more about kintsugi so I can, like, base my life on it. Or not if learning more leads me away from that, but my gut says that's the way to go.

Is this a Chris Evans thing?
Yep. My, that kid was a late bloomer. You know how in high school there were the puberty stragglers who managed to look about 13/14 as late as 16?
One of those.
(And it's not just that I'm old now and kids look young: I've gone through my yearbooks recently, and most of my nieces and nephews are teens. He really does look younger than his apparent age of 16 in the thing. I find it inexplicably hilarious.)
