How do you pronounce pecan? Do others in your family or area say it differently?

These apples have been left to rot because they are too BIG for supermarkets and the profit margins are too small. It’s cheaper to leave them than to pay pickers to collect them. And this my friends is just one of the reasons why humanity is in crisis.

"I’m not traveling like this because I want everyone to do so, I’m doing this to send a message that it is impossible to live sustainably today & that needs to change. It needs to become much easier." Great messaging by Greta Thunberg as usual! #COP25

This morning I was reminded this morning of an incident this week. I was laughed at for writing sci-fi/fantasy as an author. “You do know you’re an adult that lives in the real world don’t you?” So just to prove a point, retweet if you’re an adult who reads sci-fi/fantasy.

This is what it’s all about. And yet, basically no one has even seen these figures. We need to communicate this everywhere over and over again. Let’s get started.

In the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic going on my husband decided now would be the appropriate time to rewatch World War Z... 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll fully admit that this movie, along with I Am Legend, scare the bejeebers out of me! Too close to home!

It’s Thur night and the kids and I are packing to evacuate Mon from Mexico due to #Covid_19. I had been prepping to move for our departure in June, now things have been sped up. My evening is now consumed with the ultimate challenge, trying to find all of the lost sock mates 💪🏻

As if making an international move, renovating our house, movers losing 1/2 of our furniture, school going fully online, trying to start a MA degree, an internship and four kids wasn’t enough.... my newly 13 year old texted me this tonight-

Wooo! You can still register for the conference and it's pay-what- you-can! #FolkloreThursday #Folklore #AskaFolklorist
