So, my MIL apparently thinks a full-size wooden maraca is an appropriate gift for a toddler.
Grandparents are hilarious.

Bet if her granddaughter gives her a good whack across the shins with it, she'll reconsider.

Oh goodness, Sheryl. I can't imagine the damage ltc could do to us and the house with that kind of gift.

Apparently reddit serves the same purpose as tumblr, if the latter is full of oblivious teens and twentysomethings making blanket statements about how the world works without ever actually having been out in it.

Does Reddit have pictures of Chris Evans?
(Okay, I mostly rely on Plei for pictures of Chris Evans. But still.)

It does occasionally, though it's mainly text-based rather than image.I ran across Chris Hemsworth workout pictures there not long ago, though, so it's not without its charms.

May I present the Avengers Actors Appreciation Thread from Ravelry, which may appeal to some Buffista interests?

Happy birthday, Tom!
I got an in-person exposure to, um, the facile thinking of some young people this week -- on the chairlift. I sat next to two young snowboarders in their 20s, whom I am required to call "bros". They had a fascinating conversation about how gold is only valuable because people think it's pretty, and wouldn't it be cool to live in the 1800s and just go off and homestead somewhere.
I womanfully resisted recommending they read David Graeber's Debt, or noting that in the 1800s, that empty country likely belonged to someone, like a Native tribe.
It was fabulously vapid but endearing at the same time. I felt like an anthropologist, since after a single sentence when we sat down, they ignored me entirely. Even in a helmet and goggles, they could tell I was over 50, after all...
