All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

And from the Salt Lake Tribune:
A married Carbon County couple says they plan to fight a judge’s order that would force them to give up their infant foster daughter simply because they are lesbians.
“We love her and she loves us, and we haven’t done anything wrong,” Beckie Peirce said Wednesday. “And the law, as I understand it, reads that any legally married couple can foster and adopt.”
Peirce, 34, and her wife, 38-year-old April Hoagland, have had the 1-year-old girl in their home for three months while the state moves toward terminating her biological mother’s parental rights.
“The mother has asked us to adopt,” Hoagland said.
So the pair — who married in October 2014 and were licensed as foster parents earlier this year — were caught off guard Tuesday when 7th District Court Juvenile Judge Scott Johansen ordered the child removed from their care.
“He said he has research to back that children do better in heterosexual homes,” Hoagland said.
Johansen did not provide specifics of that research in court despite questions from attorneys for the Utah Division of Child and Family Services and the Guardian Ad Litem Office assigned to represent the child, Hoagland and Peirce said.
A copy of the order was not publicly available Wednesday, but a court spokeswoman confirmed its contents.
This is despicable and tragic. I don’t care what your religious or personal beliefs are--this is not acceptable. There are too many kids in foster care to be removing a child from a good, loving home over something as ridiculous as this.
basically anyone who really shames people for buying their kids shoes or for buying themselves a manicure while poor doesnt understand poverty
poor people often have a lot of disposable income, more than you think, cause they live on cash
they often do not have any means of transforming that cash into assets or into longterm wealth
so yes i had a lot of toys and nice things as a poor kid because you can buy toys at the dollar store too
and like you can pay a lady 10 dollars in cash to do your nails professionally
but you really cannot scrimp, at least not anymore (maybe decades ago you could) to buy yourself a house or to invest in stocks or other things that guarantee financial protection
poor people are liquid- thats why they may have material goods including nice cell phones but they broke ass will always be broke
hell, even banks and financiers EXPLOIT the liquidity of poor people; cash advance places in the hood and the proven empirical facts that cash deposits from banks in low-income neighborhood go towards major investments and are used as liquid assets by big businesses
keeping poor people in cash and banks in poor neighborhoods are major transfers of wealth in this economy
so please spare me your policing of some lady who decided to get some shoes
Always reblog
In a town-hall style interview with Matt Lauer on “Today” Monday morning, GOP hopeful Donald Trump insisted that he can relate to “the average American,” saying that like them, he has eaten at McDonald’s and driven himself in a car — and received a “small loan” of $1 million from his father to get his first business up and running.
Christ. “small loan of a million”
I didn’t think it was possible for a candidate to be more tone deaf than Mitt Romney telling kids to borrow $20,000 from their parents but Donald Trump made him look like an amateur.

I believe in aliens but not like in the conspiracy theorist sense more like in the “the notion that in this infinitely-huge universe our planet is the only one with life on it is fucking absurd” sense
“Ow! What was that for?!” “That’s how I show affection.”
