A nearly 1,000 year-old rune stone has been rediscovered at Bogesunds brygga west of Vaxholm in Sweden.
The rune stone was found during an excursion which was part of a course in landscape archaeology at Stockholm University. The stone has previously been known, but had been missing since…

I never even knew this and I’ve fed bread to ducks multiple times! D: Definitely reblog this so everyone knows!
*frets over how many ducks she’s potentially killed*
*is horrified*
It also contributes to algal bloom, both through rotting bread and increased duck crap (more food = too many ducks), which can seriously screw up the ecosystem of the water they live in. The pond at Laurelhurst Park had to be drained not too long ago in part because people kept feeding the ducks and making the algae worse.
what about those popcorn seeds or whatever they are called. Unpopped popcorn? I’ve always feed those to ducks and such…
That’s a really bad idea—ducks aren’t seed-eaters. They eat softer plant material and insects. I’m not sure much of anything can digest popcorn kernels; they probably just pass right through whatever eats them, or potentially causes intestinal blockage if there are too many.

I went to church with my family tonight and the pastor said something that I think every Christian should hear
- Pastor: Now, according to a few passages in the bible, homosexuality is a sin.
- Couple of older males in the audience: Amen!
- Pastor: Now, wait, I'm not finished.
- Pastor: You know what else the bible defines as a sin? Divorce.
- -uncomfortable silence-
- Pastor: There are countless passages that talk about how divorce is wrong, and that there are consequences to getting a divorce, such as the wife should be stoned.
- Pastor: Yet, I witnessed a divorce just this morning. And I gotta tell you, it was heartbreaking, but I definitely didn't attempt to throw rocks at the wife, even though she was the one who filed for divorce.
- Pastor: We choose to overlook the consequences of divorce because time has proven that they're inhumane and cruel.
- Pastor: The bible doesn't say anything about the consequences of a homosexual lifestyle. Yet, we seem to be spearheading a campaign to ruin the lives of people we don't even know.
- -the pastor shifts a few notes around-
- Pastor: The bible states to love thy neighbor. That's it. There are no other rules or restrictions to that passage.
- Pastor: So, we as a church family have to support equality with a smile on our face. THAT is the true Christian way.
