I have to interrupt this surgery recovery to bring you a veloci-RAPTURE post.
Mainly because I have not gotten to transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer yet.
Okay, so if any of you happen to get Swept Up In Glory this evening, I will miss you.
You should have a Rapture party.
All you need is some Heathens, some Virtuous Ones, and some eats and drinks.
Oh and music. In the event of a Rapture party, I put together an End of The World playlist.
Cuz I care about you like that.
And I have a child recovering from surgery, so I can't get all Rapture-riffic myself. Boo.
Here is my gift to you, a Rapture playlist:

I heart lampposts
Finally.
I was given the opportunity to review a film called Loving Lampposts: Living Autistic. Todd Drezner takes an interesting, and refreshing approach to gain knowledge about his son's diagnosis. I say refreshing, because this is honestly the first time I have ever seen the topic presented in a 100% unbiased, non-judgemental, and eyes fully open approach. Drezner spends time seeking knowledge from both "recovery" and "neurodiversity" movements, presenting both sides equally, and straightforward. And neither side presented Autism as a devastating apocalyptic disease that steals your children's souls.
This is a really good film, peeps.
The title is personal, and reflects Drezner's son's special interest in lampposts, and his affinity for them.
It's personal and heartfelt. The parents in this film have so much love for their children.
I would be willing to bet there are a lot of newly-diagnosed parents out there, whom would feel much comfort and support from just this knowledge alone. Why? Well sure, because it has Estee and Kristina in it :), but also because it presents options. As parents, we love options. We may have a strong feeling toward a certain side, but as long as that option is there...we are hopeful.
Not to mention the kids in the film are downright adorable.
I think this film should be stockpiled and handed out to parents of newly diagnosed kids.
It's that good. And that informative.
Really- that's what our goal is as parents. We just want to make the best decisions for our children, and the way to do that is to make informed decisions.
Lampposts.
Love em.
