Head to Telluride Colorado for this story: “Senior is a Telluride icon, instrumental in the development of the Telluride Ski Resort. Telluride would not be what it is today without Senior.”
Everyone is born with a tattoo somewhere on the body which tells of your superpower. Most of the time it’s obvious, like a flame for fire control. You were born with no visible mark and were enrolled into the Vague Society, a help club for people with really unclear marks. Tell your (and their) stories from the help club.
Game of chess anyone? This is pretty cool. What we are seeing here is an area of 23 x 20 kilometres along the Idaho-Montana border crammed between Clearwater and Bitterroot National Forests. You will notice a checkerboard pattern within the land area; each square covering an area of around 1.6 x 1.6 kilometres. Each square hosts trees, which are harvested at different times and have different timber densities and regrowth stages. As a result, this natural pattern has formed. The image was taken with the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on-board Terra, the flagship satellite of NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS). -Jean Image courtesy of NASA

So I know a lot of people have already answered this, but I supposed that I would put my two cents in, too. To me, being bi means that you are attracted to men and women and non-binary people because of physical appearances, genetalia preferences, etc. (sorry, there’s no great way to word that second one). To be pan means that you are attracted to people because of their personalities, and gender and genitalia don’t matter.
Hello💕 Can you please explain the difference between bi and pan bc I'm trying to figure out where I fit into this and I'm not sure which one I am thank you🖤
Hi! So I’m not sure I’m the best person to ask about this as I’m a little unclear about the difference as well. I believe that the difference is that bisexuals are attracted to men and women whereas pansexuals can be attracted to anyone. This includes nonbinary people, gender fluid people, and I guess everything in between. As well, you can label yourself as anything that feels right to you or you can choose to not label yourself! Sexuality is fluid and you can always change your mind. This is what I know but if I’m wrong then feel free to correct me.
(okay so this definition was wrong but I feel like I shouldn’t erase my mistake but instead acknowledge that I was wrong… Anyway, I put a better definition up and so have other people)

The Parting Glass by pretty much anyone, but my favorite two covers are the one by The High King’s and another by Peter Hollens ft. The Fox and the Hound. That and The Last Goodbye from the Hobbit are good crying songs for me.
Hey so does anyone have a song that can make me like cry from the core of my very being cause that’s the mood right now and idk why
New model for formation of Devil’s Tower (Bear Lodge)
Devil’s Tower National Monument in Wyoming is a fascinating structure. It contains the longest known columnar joints, cracks in rock formed as igneous rocks cool and contract, in the world. Most textbooks today say that Devils Tower formed as part of a laccolith; a body of magma that intruded into shallow sediments by pushing the sediments above it into a dome. If enough of the sediments eroded away, the igneous rock could be exposed.

Reunited | Some therapeutic sketches Part 2
In case no one told you growing up
Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.
If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)
Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.
You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)
Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.
Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.
To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.
Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.
Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.
If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.
Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.
After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.
Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.
Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.
Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and His Inimitable Stair Dance
Early in his dancing career, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson performed on a custom double staircase that added drama to his act, increasing his visibility to the audience while amplifying the sound of every step he made.
“As generations of imitators would learn to their grief, the properties of the staircase that magnified Robinson’s mastery equally magnify the slightest imperfection,” wrote Brian Seibert, in his book What the Eye Hears. “Dancers tell a story in which he had his musicians cut out for three and a half minutes while he continued dancing. After the allotted time, the musicians came back in, cued by a metronome that Robinson couldn’t hear. He was exactly on beat.”
