A Toad who Watches a Bird In Flight

About the author

The toad is always looking up at the sky. Why? To see the bird fly. Hi there! I'm Colleen. I'm a quasi-professional writer and an all-around nerd. I'm a journalist for a small community newspaper, and while it isn't getting a novel published, still is the work of my dreams. My heart and soul are with the victims of American aggression, and I dedicate my life to them: to the children of Baghdad, of Kabul, of Hanoi, of Tokyo and Manila and Berlin. I'm about equally half serious about becoming a diplomat and half realizing that I'm not going to accomplish anything important, because I'm sitting around squeeing about becoming Padme Amidala In case any of you care: I'm a white, Catholic cis woman from upstate New York and trying very hard to keep my privileges in check and attempt, little by little, to make up for being white. It won't ever happen. Just putting this here as a reminder to keep me out of PoC safe spaces. I will wait respectfully at the gates with my flowers and pleas of remorse. I think this a multi-fandom blog more than anything, just by pure bulk. I really don't know. Special obsessions include Les Miserables and Puella Magi Madoka Magica ----and to a lesser extent, the most rabid fandoms on the internet: Sherlock, My Little Pony, and Christianity. I don't have much of a life. I usually try to follow back, unless you post a lot of porn. :-/ I mean, whatever floats your boat, but I blog in public at times and I don't know how to block it. And it goes without saying that I don't post anything NSFW (unless they're, like, a Reconnaissance painting of a nude goddess or whatnot. Which hardly counts.) I'm sorry about how long my URL is. (It's a line from Spring Awakening that reminds me of one of my characters, if you guys care. :P) Feel free to just call me Colleen if you want. Bring them peace. Bring them joy. Bring them home.

Photos of Patrick Stewart doing things.

(All photos: @SirPatStew)

I’m just going to quietly put him in my list of ‘old men I want to be like when I grow up’

Its a… lengthy list…

Seriously, if I can be 20% as awesome as he is when I’m old, it’ll be rad.
