otter mom video from environment blog; "on being" segment about fairy tales & tv shows
For all the mothers out there, & especially for LadyStarlight: The Rainforest Site's Mother's Day blog entry says sea otter mothers are among the most devoted in the animal kingdom. Their description kinda sounds like what was expected of pre-women's movement human mothers. Check out the video evidence.
And today's On Being was about fairy tales & current TV shows based on them, incl. Grimm, Once Upon a Time, True Blood, Game of Thrones, & even Hunger Games. This public radio show describes itself this way: "On Being opens up the animating questions at the center of human life: What does it mean to be human, and how do we want to live? We explore these questions in their richness and complexity in 21st-century lives and endeavors. We pursue wisdom and moral imagination as much as knowledge; we esteem nuance and poetry as much as fact." Sometimes it seems to have a lot in common w/a certain website on things philosophical in connection w/a vampire slayer. That's particularly true of this episode.
Enjoy!
