WIST QuotationsA quotation from Madeleine L'Engle
When I find myself hotly defending something, when I am, in fact, zealous, it is time for me to step back and examine whatever it is that has me so hot under the collar. Do I think it’s going to threaten my comfortable rut? Make me change and grow? — and growing always causes growing pains. Am I afraid to ask questions?Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

"Why don't you go outside" she glanced at the sunny green day. She paused when she realized she sounded like her mom. "Just do something."
"Fine" the chair creaked and his knees complained as he rose. "I'll go outside" with a measure of resignation. 2/x

DonnchaRun! A Stag Defends His Harem
Last October we spotted a herd of deer, both stags and hinds, in a field. It wasn’t long before another stag wandered in and decided to break up the party.
After running around for a bit, the stag ran through the group of hinds and then walked away, trailing 3 of them!

Anders_STimbro och Oikos la fram rapport Tidö 2.0 – nystart för Sverige. Ett i huvudsak mycket reaktionärt förslag som skulle dra Sverige i en klart fascistisk riktning. Det fick ETC att vilja skapa nåt motsvarande från vänster.
