Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my toys to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my toys to break.
~ Prayer of the Selfish Child
Shel Silverstein

This thing does everything.
Compass.
Reflecting mirror.
Binoculars.
Magnifying glass.
Made in Italy.
And it’s compact and light.
Great design.
And it’s mine.

If you are not coffee, chocolate, or bacon,
I’m going to need you to go away.

Gimme that place where I can find my tribe
Grey city covered in my colours
Gimme that place where I can crystallize
It’s alright to be an other.

Neva! Another one! Criteriological! 3/30/17 @ 12:04 a.m. Baha!

“Science of criteria” or “criteriology” is a term, originally neoscholastic, for a theory of knowledge in which judgments are warranted or justified simply by conforming to certain criteria for correct judgment.”

See #AcademicsGoneLogical for the expanding list!

“Academic mothers don’t need encouragement to be ambitious and optimistic. They need relief from grossly inadequate support systems that deprive them of real choices and a fair shot at successful careers.”

From Female Academics And The ‘Flexibility Myth’.
