Last Friday, I did not post because I had but three links to give! So you get two weeks’ worth of shiny things. Enjoy!
I learned that there is a giant water bug that eats turtles. Holy crap.
I saw fabulous photos of outfits from genderfunky weddings. :D
I learned how to spread warm fuzzies and not let a good memory just be a memory. Pay it forward!
I learned what “Twitter” and “tweet” would be in Latin. Yes, seriously.
I learned why heroism makes a pretty kickass religion.
I read writing tips from 22 authors.
I saw the first photos of one of the world’s last uncontacted tribes in Brazil. Wow.
I learned that great white sharks love AC/DC.
I sent my name to Mars with the next rover – and you can too! AWESOME. (It closes June 13th, so don’t dawdle!)
I read about four things you can do in the morning to totally rock your day.
I found a thing that replaces Peanut’s dialogue with random tweets. This is surprisingly funny.
I read a lot of one-liners that interrupt negative thinking.
I found out what one person means when they say “queer”.
And I read about what “bitch” really means and how to take back the word. I hate that word, but I like this post.
Your Friday photo is totally a cheat, since I haven’t processed any of the photos from the camping trip yet. It is a flower that finally came back to our yard, which delights me to no end, because it turns into this GIANT PUFFBALL that’s bigger than my fist!

[…] tips from 22 authors is wonnnderful. Thank you to Ty for sharing […]
Thanks for the mention Ty! I like that you included me on a list with Drew (The Rogue Priest). He’s one of my newest on my list of ‘amazing people I’ve been fortunate enough to befriend’.
I was actually reading recently about uncontacted tribes. I didn’t know there were any in Brazil… the one I was reading about was the Sentinelese. I had no idea, but there are actually whole languages that no one on earth other than tribal members know. I love the mystery in that.
Thanks for writing something awesome to link to! :D
I’m fascinated by the unknown-to-outsiders languages, as well as dead languages. While I’m pretty sure the tribes would not appreciate it, I would love to go and learn their words – that would be spectacular.
Did you hear about the vanished tribe whose language was lost but for a parrot who knew a few dozen words? Explorers found the bird, and that’s all they’ve got of that language. Talk about mystery!
Thank you for the mention. I am amazed by your photo of the week – is that really a real flower??!! My goodness it’s amazing. Where are you located?
It really is! I was so excited this morning when I noticed new buds opening. I can’t wait for the Giant Puffball stage!
I’m in Carson City, Nevada, in that little strip of desert between the mountains. We get strange plants out here.
Thanks for commenting! Good to see you here. :)
Such good links! Ty, you’re full of the greatness. Thank you for including me. I’m tickled. And ooh: I love the 22 authors piece.
Thank you! Really, I only find and hoard the greatness, then sleep on the tottering heap in hopes some of it will rub off on me. ;)
The 22 authors piece was really interesting to me. I’ve heard a lot of advice for writers, but some of it was new and awesome. :D
