My ears are popping. We just took off. I’m listening to the Commitments. There’s an extremely hot guy sitting behind me, but he’s only 13 or 14. The guy next to me, across the aisle, is fucking smoking, I can’t stand it…A little girl and her mom are on the right of me and…

The Adorable Story of a Grandmother and Her Cat

Japanese photographer Miyoko Ihara began taking pictures of her grandmother, Misao, 13 years ago to commemorate her rich life. Along the way, the photographer came across a beautiful bond between her now 88-year-old grandmother and a cat named Fukumaru, whose given name roughly translates as “good fortune circle.” In her photo book titled Misao the Big Mama and Fukumaru the Cat, Ihara captures the affectionate tale of these two best friends doing everything together.

Looking through a selection of photos from the book, one can see the genuine friendship and warmth between the inseparable pair as they keep each other company throughout their daily lives. It was nine years ago that Misao first found Fukumaru abandoned in a shed, described as an “odd-eyed kitten.” While the cat had its own ailments and hearing disabilities, the two have continued to grow old together, enjoying the beauty of everyday life against the stunning backdrop of nature’s fields.

To see more heartwarming images of this adorable grandmother and her precious cat, Misao the Big Mama and Fukumaru the Cat can be purchased directly through Little More Books.

I am taking a bit of a hiatus. I don’t know if this will be a small break or something longer. I am currently battling a personal problem that takes a lot out of me daily. I am seeking help for this problem and hope to be in tip-top shape in quick time, but I know that sometimes the journey of…

Wishing you the best of luck. You take care!

ABC, NBC, and CBS Evening News all lead with Romney’s tax returns. 

i hope no one lets the fuck up on this tax nonsense. in a year when i’m not unemployed (ahahahhaha D:) i make a teeny tiny fraction of what he earns in a day and i’m in the 25% bracket. IN A WHOLE YEAR I MAKE LESS THAN HE MAKES IN A DAY. 13% for an income that is demonstrably NOT below 30,000 a year (which is the 15% bracket yo) is fucking ludicrous. especially when he falls IN THE 35% BRACKET.

35% and he says he’s never paid LESS THAN 13%, which is about what he paid in literally the only year for which he’s released records.Must be nice.

Here’s something fun that Slate did back in January. Go to this page and see how long it took Mitt Romney to make what you did in 2010. It took him waaaaay less than a day to make my annual salary, and I paid a much higher tax rate than he did. Yayyy! Be my president so more rich dudes like you can pay less than poor people like me and our infrastructure can crumble around us!!!!!!!! 

Except no. 

Enjoying the Philip spam, but I swear everytime I see a bunch of pics of him on my dash I get afraid and think, “oh, geez, did he die?”

“It’s hard to admit but every mother has a favourite child. I believe the Queens was Charles, she did everything for him and still does until this day. Diana’s was Harry, she gave him so much attention and always played with him. Sarah’s was Beatrice, she is always caught bonding with her. Sophie’s I can’t really tell which is her favourite, she’s protecting both of them and has been seen spending time with them equally and also always smiling when she looks at them.” — Submitted by Anonymous

This is so completely wrong. Charles is the queen’s least favorite. Diana didn’t play favorites. Sarah favors whoever gives her the nicest free stuff, and Sophie - who cares.
