"I found this book of beautiful Art Nouveau artwork by Julius Klinger, originally published in 1902. Two of the images really struck me and I decided to upload them. A horsewoman and a female fencer."

Last Chance

Ok Folks, listen up. The electoral college doesn’t vote officially until December 19th. It is extremely rare and almost unheard of for them to vote against the majority of their district BUT IT CAN HAPPEN. The Electoral College was made for exactly this purpose!  Remember, prior to December 19th, we have:

Court Case against Trump University Court Case Against Trump for accusations for rape and sexual assault If we pull together, we can swing this. We will have to be tireless. We will have to be unyielding. We will have to write, call, and march on every swing state that can have their electoral vote differently. We have to make our voices heard. Hillary WON the popular vote which means more of America wants her to be President than Trump. There is precedence for this to happen. There is cause. There is hope. With no state law against Pennsylvania voting against their popular vote, that’s 20 to go to Hillary. If Florida or any three other states swing, SHE WINS.

If we get them to vote different, we don’t have to worry about Trump or Pence because Hillary will have won. Until she hands over the nomination, she is still saying she is waiting for the official electoral votes to be made. 

We can do this. We can win. LET’S SPREAD THIS LIKE WILD FIRE ON HERE AND FACEBOOK! 

Friendly reminder that there's always somebody out there predicting the imminent end of the world. I've lived through a bunch of predicted apocalypses throughout my life and not a one of them has ever happened. The world won't end this time, either.

Perchta was known as a goddess in Southern Germanic Paganism in the Alpine countries. Her name means “the bright one.” Perchta is the goddess Holda’s southern cousin, and they share the role as a “guardian of the beasts.”

January 6, the Twelfth Night, was once her festival day, later replaced by Epiphany in Christianity.

Laleh Seddigh (born 1977), is an Iranian female race car driver. Racing both on circuits and in rallies, she is recognized as the best female racer in the country. Seddigh had to get special permission from a local ayatollah in order to compete against men. A PhD student from Tehran, she has been nicknamed "a little Schumacher" after the German Formula One champion.

"Resistance from men does not bother me. Once I get on the track I like to use my technical skills, take control and dominate the other drivers."
