Monday Medley: Saving dogs through photography

Pigtail Pals and Ballcap Buddies is passing around a story about a magician who calls little six-year-old girls “sexy” during his performance and pretty much belittles both boys and girls.

In Washington state, now that same-sex marriage has been legal for a year, one in six marriages include same-sex couples! Seeing how Washington has not been obliterated by this fact, hopefully the rest of the states will see that same-sex marriage is not going to destroy “traditional” marriage and jump on board the equality train. I’m looking at you, Missouri.

Share this story about a woman who saves dogs with anyone who thinks that one person cannot make a difference.

Research now shows that buying healthy, unprocessed foods costs an average family $2,000 more per year. This is not news to most of the country—just to the holier-than-thou folks who keep insisting it’s so easy and cheap and if you don’t do it, you suck. As a family that is trying to buy more fresh foods than processed foods lately, I can tell you it eats a huge chunk of your budget.

The world’s first cyborg is now recognized. Artist Neil Harbisson wears a chip to help him see colors, and now he is legally recognized as a cyborg. This presents so much food for thought—see what your kids think about it. Are there any cyborg enhancements that your family would want, and why?
