My name is Katie. I'm gay, I'm Canadian, I have a Master’s in Canadian History and I work at a local non-profit. I don't really understand tumblr so apologies if I don't reply to questions quickly.. I try to post things in between the craziness that is my life.. But it'll be sporadic and random - deal with it. Thanks for stopping in this little bit of my brain and thanks for keeping me humble.

But if we’re going to walk out of here ourselves and almost three times as far you need to understand it wasn’t sickness or hunger that most mattered to our chances. It’s what went on up here. Notions. A darkness… with no firm hand to stem it. The Terror (2018)

The Navajo have a unique tradition. When a baby is born, it is regarded as the ultimate, precious gift and must never be abused. From the moment of birth, the child is watched over continuously by family and friends, who patiently wait for the child’s first…laugh.
“Has your baby laughed?” is common question posed to parents who have infants around the age of three months. The first laugh of a Navajo child is a very significant event. It marks the child’s final passing from the spirit world to the physical world, meaning he or she is now fully human. This milestone warrants a party, and what a party it is!
Whichever brother, sister, parent, cousin, aunt, uncle, or passing acquaintance is present at the first laugh is deemed to have caused it. The laughter instigator then receives the honored privilege of preparing a special ceremony to welcome the child into society.
Once a baby has laughed, training in generosity begins immediately—a value held in high regard among the Navajo people. At the party, where the baby is considered the host, the parents or person responsible for the first laugh help hold the baby’s hand as he or she ceremonially gives the rock salt, food, and gifts to each guest. There are also bags of candy, money, and other presents that the child “gives” along with the food. [x]

Lisa who goes by the name @ostdrossel on Instagram has always been fascinated by nature and different bird types. So she came up with a brilliant idea: she uses a bird feeder cam, which consists of a camera box, a macro lens, and an attachable bird feeding platform. The camera is tiny and equipped with a motion sensor so that when a bird comes to eat, it photographs birds a non-intrusive way.
