My friend Rebecca posted this to Facebook, and I burst into tears watching it. How wonderful, kind and gracious Fred Rogers was. I hope to be half as much.

I think I have a new #LifeList item: be loved on by a gorilla.

thekidshouldseethis:

A troop of wild mountain gorillas recently turned a typical ecotourism encounter upside down when the animals paid a visit to a tented camp in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Video footage, now gone viral, shows baby and adult gorillas approaching U.S. tourist John J. King II, sitting with him, and even grooming him as he sits in quiet amazement—right next to a giant male silverback gorilla.

At first, “this baby kind of grabbed my arm in a very gentle way. I just can’t tell you how gentle it was. It was like a young child touching your arm in a way that’s very endearing.

This was a big hit with the co-curator. You can read more about the experience on NationalGeographic.com.

There’s a new island on the planet, in the Red Sea, as of 23 December when an underwater volcano erupted and formed it. I wish someone would let me name it something cool. (And by “cool” I mean, of course, “Amber’s Island”. Oh, like you wouldn’t.)

yayponies: It’s a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings – one lucky sailor is chosen to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a loved one.Today, for the first time, the happily reunited couple was gay. The dock landing ship Oak Hill has been gone for nearly three months, training with military allies in Central America. As the homecoming drew near, the crew and ship’s family readiness group sold $1 raffle tickets for the first kiss. Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta bought 50 - which is actually fewer than many people buy, she said, so she was surprised Monday to find out she’d won. Her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, was waiting when she crossed the brow. They kissed. The crowd cheered. And with that, another vestige of the policy that forced gays to serve in secrecy vanished. By Corinne Reilly The Virginian-Pilot© December 21, 2011  Gaaaaay! Love it.

The first time I met Katie Jane’s husband, we were in her apartment in a group of girls a bottle and a half of champagne in and he came home from work. “Your husband is REALLY CUTE!” I staged-whispered, probably to his embarrassment, and she laughed. Then she saw what Rob looks like and TOTALLY got it. I love these photos of the two of them!

Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god. allcreatures: Adventurer Mark Moffett has found the world’s biggest insect - which is so huge it can eat carrots. The former park ranger discovered the giant weta up a tree and his real life Bugs Bunny has now been declared the largest ever found. He came across the cricket-like creature, which has a wing span of seven inches, after two days of searching on a tiny island. The creepy crawly is only found on Little Barrier Island, in New Zealand. The species was wiped off the mainland by rats accidentally introduced by Europeans.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god.
