you know, if Edwin was just like 10% more unhinged, he would've chopped his own hand off to remove the bracelet

Cameo week highlights so far, payneland edition:

- if Edwin and Charles could choose their afterlife it would be each other

- puppy debacle of 06 was Charles bringing in a ghost puppy that turned out not to be a normal one (maybe a hell hound??)

- if they weren't detectives Edwin would go into smth editorial and Charles would go into fighting

- IF they went on a date, Charles would want to take Edwin to do smth outdoorsy that they don't usually do e.g. doing something sporty

- they would want to take the other on vacation to the Maldives and to Scotland (guess who chose which lol)

- Charles uses physical touch as reassurance, and feels reassured by Edwin's praise like "excellent job today, Charles", Edwin takes care of Charles by fixing up his clothes

- Charles likes how intelligent, competent and organized Edwin is, Edwin likes how protective and brave Charles is

one of the funniest things you can do is vagueblog about a book you hated and what you specifically found objectionable and inevitably someone will be like “op you should read [the very book you’re complaining about], it handles this soooo well” no lad it does not

I maintain that Hey There Delilah by Plain White Tees is a 450% better song if it’s about a guy who’s lost custody of his daughter

Got Spare Feathers?

BIRBLR! I found this really cool Facebook group through a mutual friend. https://www.facebook.com/groups/848166298569126/ Here’s what it’s about:

This group’s purpose is to receive and distribute donated feathers from Companion Birds, for free to traditional Native Americans. The feathers will be dispersed to craftsmen who make & give away items to be used in Native American church, blessings, naming of babies, or to be utilized as accessories in the circle of powwows. Macaw, Parrot, Asiatic Parakeet, Cockatoo are some of the feathers needed. Items made from these are fans, hair pieces, & adornments for sacred items. It is up to a 7 year wait for Native Americans to receive Eagle, Hawk, & Falcon feathers from the Federal Fish & Wildlife service, but the need for feathers to make and use for ceremonial purposes is there daily.  This is a great way for your companion bird to be honored. All feathers prior to use are blessed, praying for good feelings, good thoughts. This is done with all feathers, eagle, hawk, falcon, anhinga, scissortail, flicker, as well as donated companion bird feathers.   None of the donated feathers will be sold, bartered nor traded. This is a requirement of the person requesting feathers from the Feather Depot.

So that’s an awesome and important use for feathers you might just have laying around. I don’t know much about Native American culture, but from the posts it sounds like these feathers would have significant meaning to the people they went to. My girls are mostly too small except tail feathers (which usually come out mangled), but those with larger birds might enjoy knowing that their feathers are being cherished. Here are some photos from the group: 

( here is a fan used in church made from about 60 or so ringneck feathers… or some other asiatic parakeet )

( This is how we keep our items made out of feathers when not in use. An aromatic cedar box.. some are made specifically to fit our fans… )
