I vote kayak. My little brother is very happy with the foldable kayak he got.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, re politics. I've been listening to The Righteous Mind on my commute for the past week, and I've just gotten to the last bit, which is where he finally starts talking about why liberal and conservative value systems are essentially incompatible (and why conservatives have an evolutionary advantage when arguing from a moral platform, but also why we need balance). I'm trying really REALLY hard not to knee-jerk reject all of his pro-conservative arguments, and just listen to the overall message about how human brains work, but man, it's hard. It's also very obvious that he wrote the book in a pre-Trump era, because a lot of what he says about conservatives is depressingly out of date.
[eta: Oh right, Mitch McConnell. Anyway, using the framework of this book, McConnell is operating on the sanctity, fairness, and authority foundations, and more or less pretending that the care/harm foundation doesn't exist. Which is (a) the opposite of how liberal minds work and (b) a really fucking terrible moral ground for a healthcare system.)
Kayak or stand-up paddleboard?
SUP all the way. They are SO SO FUN.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I need some help for the hivemind. My uncle gave me some stock certificates found in my grandfather's stuff. They're in my name and my uncle's name, but he said I could have them. The company appears to still be in business, but I don't know the first thing about trading them in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good one, ltc!
My mother recently sold some stock she had certificates for, and it was apparently a pain in the ass, but I don't know the details. I could ask, though!

ION, I can't decide what to do about a new cat. I guess I'm not ready, but I like the look of this one! [link] I kind of wish a kitten would fall in my lap, though. Maybe I should sign up to foster? What to do???
