Watched the Renton River Days parade, now exploring the local historical museum until we’re ready to go out in the sun again.
The latest additions to our #cah #cardsagainsthumanity collection!
Forgot to post this earlier, but the sunset as we were leaving the park was really pretty.
Picked up some really dark (and oh-so-stylish) sunglasses for Prairie and me for the eclipse next month. Got a slide-on lens filter for my camera, too. With a little luck (and clear skies), we’ll be able to see the eclipse!
Linkdump for June 25th through July 16th
Sometime between June 25th and July 16th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too!
- On ‘canon’ in fandom: “Do you know when ‘canon,’ like as a concept, became like a standard nerd thing?”
- Call “revenge porn” what it is: sexual abuse: “This new term — image-based sexual abuse — better describes the nature and harms of the deeply injurious actions of men (and it is mostly men) who perpetrate it.”
- As Chinese, Iranian and Indonesian As Apple Pie: “So where do apple pies come from? Let's deconstruct the stories of the ingredients that make up the sweet treat — and the winding paths they took to our plates.”
- Now Everyone Really Can Code Thanks to Apple’s New College Course: "Apple is launching a new program intended for college-level learners, extending Apple’s learning courses from kindergarten age and adulthood. This new course, called Apple App Development Curriculum, is available for free through iBooks."
- How Does X-Men’s Charles Xavier Leave His Own House?: "Based on various depictions of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Professor X—a paraplegic mutant telepath with a supposedly genius-level intellect—somehow forgot to add wheelchair ramps to his own home."
Out at the park for tonight’s free concert. Enjoying living someplace where we actually feel like going outside!
Made it out to the Merc!
Fourth of July fireworks in Renton!
Thirteen and a half hours down! Just another hour and a half to go to fireworks! (And then an unknown number navigating our way out of here and back home….)
Monopoly deal is much more fun (faster and more cutthroat) than the board game. Recommended by us!
