Via firinel, Mildred Loving died on Friday.

On the 40th anniversary of the ruling in Loving v Virginia, Mildred Loving has released a public statement that really must be read. I’m going to post the full text below the fold and encourage others to distribute it far and wide, put it on Fark and Digg and Reddit and anywhere you can for the widest possible reach. Americans need to read this statement and see how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go to protect liberty and equality in this country.

I made really good cupcakes on Sunday. Vanilla cake with strawberries in 'em. Though, I'm still having trouble with the strawberries sinking. I think I've got the problem licked though...just have to wait till next time to see if my hypothesis is correct. Even with the strawberries falling out, the cupcakes were delicious. Especially with cream cheese frosting.

A standard cake batter makes three huge cupcakes and twelve small ones. This is currently perfect, 'cause it's nice to have a big cupcake when you've been smelling them baking, and the "regular sized" ones are perfect for snacks.

Oh, here's an interesting spam subject. "Start looking the age you act". Well *that* could be dangerous.

Does that mean I'd never be able to be juvenile again? No more swings in the park? No more Fraggle Rock?! Hmmph. I'd rather look like me and do what I want.

So there. *grin*

Oooh, *another* for the Really Bloody Cool Files, though in a completely different direction.

Winter was just two months old when she got her tail caught in a crab trap—and rendered a useless stump—off the coast of Florida. After a long recuperation and a year and a half of hard labor by one of the veterinary world's top prosthetics wizards, Winter became the first dolphin to receive a functional but fake tail, qualifying her, according to the Daily Mail as the "world's first bionic sea creature."

And, now that I've had a marvelous conversation with my mom, I should think about making dinner.
