Twaeggy - The World Is At My Feet And I Am Standing On The Ceiling

A beaver colony in the Brdy region has gained overnight fame by building several dams in the Brdy protected landscape area, creating a natural wetland exactly where it was needed. It saved the local authorities 30 million crowns, and has the public cracking jokes about public administration and red tape.

The administration of the Brdy protected landscape area, which had gained approval for the 30 million crown project, was dealing with red tape and seeking the respective building permits from the Vltava River Basin authorities when the dam project was completed almost overnight by a local colony of beavers.

They could not have chosen their location better –erecting the dams on a bypass gully that was built by soldiers in the former military base years ago, so as to drain the area. The revitalization project drafted by environmentalists was supposed to remedy this. Bohumil Fišer, head of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area Administration says Nature took its course and the beavers created the necessary biotope conditions practically overnight.

This happened this morning and I have been thinking about it and laughing to myself all day. 

Steve Rogers did, in fact, realize that something was off when he saw the outline of the woman’s odd bra (a push-up bra, he would later learn), but being an officer and a gentleman, he said that it was the game that gave the future away.

Cheat Sheets for Writing Body Language

We are always told to use body language in our writing. Sometimes, it’s easier said than written. I decided to create these cheat sheets to help you show a character’s state of mind. Obviously, a character may exhibit a number of these behaviours. For example, he may be shocked and angry, or shocked and happy. Use these combinations as needed.

Notice how every science fiction movie or television show starts with a shot of the location where the story is about to occur. Movies that take place in outer space always start with a shot of stars and a starship. Movies that take place on another world always start with a  shot of that planet. This is to let you know where you are. Novels and stories start the same way. You have to give the reader a sense of where he is and what’s happening as quickly as possible. You don’t want to start the story by confusing the reader.

Frigg and Sigyn sitting down around the hearth fire to crochet and gossip

Sol and Idunn giggling in the kitchen baking apple pies decorated with pie crust suns

Freyja and Mordgud working out at the gym together as gal pals do

Sif and Sigyn trading parenting tips over coffee at the local coffee shop

Mordgud dragging Hel to go see the latest nerdy movie trending for an all female cast

Hel and Eir gently comforting Sigyn when time catches up with her and memories weigh her down

Eir making hot tea for all the goddesses for the weekly book club meeting

Frigg redecorating the homes of the other goddesses whenever the mood strikes and they’re willing

Sol and Jord out in the kitchen garden, tending to the herbs and poisons, as they are apt to do

Jord and Mordgud walking late into the twilight just to watch the stars come out and the sky to dance

just goddesses without boundaries doing what they do

This song gives me a lot of Manannan feels.

Swallowed by a vicious vengeful sea oh ooh oh-oh Darker days are raining over me oh ooh oh-oh In the deepest depths I lost myself oh ooh oh-oh I see myself through someone else

*cracks neck* my time has come
