Check Out This Awesome Dueling Lightsaber Battle in the Rocky Mountain Snow

Playing in the snow can be hard to resist. Sure it eventually turns to gray muck, and sometimes it needs to be shoveled.

But not being from an area that gets much snow, for me, it’s a little bit magical.

My husband’s favorite childhood memories are of playing football in the snow, and the last time we had a real one, I took the opportunity to build a snow man!

So it’s no wonder that some people in Colorado, who are used to getting plenty of snow, made a little magic of their own last February by engaging in a lightsaber duel.

Apparently, this is not the first time Coloradans have engaged in public Star Wars role play.

It’s not even the second time:

But one particular Friday evening, a young woman named Anghelie Elizabeth posted a video to her Facebook page of two people dressed in black, their swords clacking loudly together as they dueled in the snow.

Sadly, they do not make the electronic sounds you hear in the movies, but it’s still a blast to watch.

You can hear Elizabeth laughing in the background as she zooms in on the dueling duo.

One fighter has a blue saber like Anakin, Luke, and Rey. The other holds an orange lightsaber, which according to May4BeWithYou.com:

In the Star Wars Legends, the only known characters who have used Orange Lightsabers are Master Yaddle and Plo Koon. Both are Jedi but only the former used an Orange saber typically.

The snow definitely makes it epic, but I feel like we need a bombastic soundtrack. Think John Williams is available?

At just 30 seconds long, it’s not clear who won the battle, but it sure looks like everyone had a lot of fun. Take a look for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Person Has a Clever Dog That Puts Itself in Time Out and We’re Fascinated

We all know that dogs are smarter than us.

Exhibit A – my dog whines like a maniac if I work one minute past 5 pm.

But a recent Tumblr post revealed that sometimes a good boy is more than just smart.

Colorado based @mothsplaining has a couple of different Tumblr accounts dedicated to, among other things, gorgeous pictures of beautiful dogs.

One of them is a Sheltie named Karybelle… who’s QUITE a looker.

https://mothsplaining.tumblr.com/post/643741193020260352

This amazing dog went viral last year after @mothsplaining posted about a training exercise. The note read:

Over the last several months, we have been implementing a protocol to eliminate karybelle the sheltie’s barking surrounding her mealtimes.

We have accomplished this by initially introducing an alternate activity during prep time (stuffed kong) and religiously giving her a time out gated in the yard if she stops that activity to bark, thus delaying her dinner until she’s quiet.

Who knew you could give a dog a time out?

Something tells me this would not work with my dog, who is not trained in the slightest.

But for Karybelle, it worked!

This has been extremely successful; She’s gone from barking literally 100+ times during meal prep to barking 0 times, and only occasionally slips up.

Proving that Karybelle is a very good dog. But there’s always a trade-off, isn’t there?

The behavior she has chosen to replace her meal-prep-screaming (after all, that energy has to go somewhere) is frantically – but silently – running circles around the coffee table to finally slam into a perfect down-stay as her bowl is set down.

10 out of 10. Karybelle nailed the landing.

But sometimes even good doggos have to make a little noise.

This evening as the food was coming out, karybelle seamlessly slipped into her silent circling routine. except after a couple of reps, she abruptly changed course, yeeted herself out the dog door, barked once, and immediately jumped back in to resume her circling.

She actually PUT HERSELF into timeout for a second!

If that isn’t a demonstration of crystal clear understanding of criteria, i…don’t know what is lmao.

Fellow Tumblrs were appropriately amused. Even if they’re not Kong-using pet parents.

Others noted that the experience was all too human–one we are all familiar with.

What do you think? Is Karybelle basically a genius?

Tiffany Haddish Helps Out Foster with Donated Suitcases

The past year has made me think a lot about giving back to my community, and I’ve been looking for new ways to help people out.

That’s why I was so verklempt to read about one celebrity who has been giving back in a deeply personal and meaningful way.

Grammy-winning comedienne Tiffany Haddish and her four younger siblings went into the American foster care system when she was just 12 years old.

As she told David Letterman:

“You’re dropped in these strangers’ houses, you don’t know these people, these people don’t know you, you don’t know if they’re gonna hurt you, if they’re gonna be kind, you don’t have a clue what’s going on.”

What always stuck with Haddish about making the foster care experience extra difficult was that when children are moved from home to home, they’re handed a garbage back to pack up their things.

It made her feel like garbage.

And then one day, in a small way, someone made a huge difference in her life.

Instead of a garbage bag, they gave her a suitcase. Now Haddish felt:

“Like I had a purpose, like I’m a person like I’m not garbage, I got this — it’s mine, and my things are in here, and wherever I go I can take this with me and I’m going somewhere.”

For years, Haddish had encouraged her fans to bring suitcases to her shows and donate them to foster children, including the Beech Brooke organization of Cleveland, Ohio:

And The Villages of Indiana:

These are just some of the over 95 suitcases donated from last week’s Tiffany Haddish show in Bloomington. The…

Posted by The Villages – Foster Care, Adoption, & Family Services on Friday, October 4, 2019

After watching her interview with Letterman on Netflix last fall, a foster care specialist from from Lake County, Indiana, Shanell Manuel took note:

Haddish’s point about garbage bags struck a chord with Manuel, who had herself been bothered by the same thing.

As Distractify reported:

“She reached out to Tiffany’s She Ready Foundation, whose mission is to “protect, provide resources, and ensure normalcy for foster children.”

Once again, Haddish came through with 100 suitcases for Indiana foster kids last Christmas.

And her work has inspired other organizations to do suitcase drives in their communities too.

But she’s not finished yet.

As Black Enterprise recently reported, Haddish’s She Ready Foundation has got a new project to help kids who age out of the foster system start careers in the entertainment industry:

The program is supported by Tiffany Haddish’s She Ready Foundation and Ready To Succeed, a Career Accelerator for foster youth, who will provide training, mentorship and ongoing support.”

It’s truly amazing to see someone so dedicated to helping out such a deserving and under-served demographic.

When Disasters Happen, Willie Ray’s Is There with Free Barbecue

There’s nothing quite like a feel-good story, right?

Well, here’s one that will make you feel good any day of the week.

Back in August of 2020 when most of us probably first learned that the term “derecho” more or less meant a sustained straight-line wind version of a tornado, most of Cedar Rapids, Iowa was left without power.

That’s when Willie Ray Fairley of Willie Ray’s Q Shack stepped up.

Come on out and try this Brisket Baby it’s
Brisket Friday

Posted by Willie Ray’s Q Shack on Friday, January 8, 2021

The restaurateur saw his friends and neighbors working hard to clean up the city, and he decided to cook up his entire stock and give it away to anyone who needed a hot meal.

As he told the local news station, KCRG:

“I just got my food truck and was ready to start selling, but once the storm hit I thought there might be something better to do with the food.”

Something better indeed.

Willie’s kindness went viral, and soon, people were even donating to his Venmo account to help fund his charitable mission.

“People keep donating, so we’re going to be giving out food for a long time. Even when the storm is over, cleaned up. If there’s still funds left we will continue to give.”

The country began to take notice. He even made MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle’s #GoodNewsRUHLES list.

The local Cedar Rapids community nominated him for a black owned business award from Discover, and he won!

Food can always bring people together. See how Willie Ray’s Q Shack used his $25,000 #EatItForward award to help make a real impact in his Cedar Rapids community. https://youtu.be/HQXQjxm9UAY

Posted by Discover on Friday, December 11, 2020

They called his work #EatItForward. There’s even a YouTube video:

It’s a really nice award, but Willie hasn’t let it go to his head.

“I would have done all this anyway and never thought anything of it,” he said. “It was how I was raised. It makes me feel good to know that people care.”

But the story doesn’t end there.

A few months later when Texas was rocked by an ice storm causing power outages to thousands, Willie called on volunteers to help him make the trek down from Iowa.

Me and the team is planning on going to Texas to help the needed. By any chance is there a couple volunteers that would…

They stayed for a week, helping out the Texans in desperate need of a hot meal.

Austin’s @cbsaustin had a piece on the news about this man who came down to provide free bbq ? food to Texans in Dallas,…

Posted by Advocacy and Beyond on Tuesday, February 23, 2021

And then Willie and his team headed to Mississippi to deliver bottled water to those communities, which had been left without water for weeks after the same winter storm.

Posted by Willie Ray’s Q Shack on Saturday, March 13, 2021

Willie is a shining example of the good we can do when we pull together as a community, as well as the healing power of food.

Doesn’t that give you all the feels? Are you hungry for some barbecue now? Let us know in the comments!

The Crocodile Huntress Bindi Irwin Recreates a Special Photo-Op for Her Late Father

I love animals, and I was obsessed with The Crocodile Hunter back in the day.

While I was recovering from a difficult surgery, Steve Irwin’s “Danger, danger, danger,” was the fastest way to make me smile.

So of course I follow his daughter Bindi’s Instagram to keep up-to-date on what’s happening in the Irwin lives and at Australia Zoo.

Bindi and her family post a lot of great pictures to Instagram.

Whether they are pictures of the family helping animals, traveling, or just hanging out at home, they are always delightful and sure to please, like this group photo she posted recently:

It features her mom Terri, brother Robert, husband Chandler, and showcases Bindi’s baby bump.

Bindi and Robert are so much like their parents that it’s scary sometimes.

Steve definitely did an amazing job in the short time he had, to pass down his love of wildlife and his passion for conservation.

Like her parents, Bindi met her future husband during a tour of the family’s zoo.

After a years-long, intercontinental courtship, Chandler finally popped the question in 2019.

Now he’s part of the Australia Zoo family too, and honestly, I’m not sure there’s a more welcoming place on earth.

In many ways, Chandler is a lot like Steve-o.

That post, featuring an Australian Carpet Python, sure does remind me of a famous picture of Steve.
(And the UPS commercials where he used to pretend to get bitten.)

Unfortunately in the spring of 2020, Bindi and Chandler’s wedding plans had to be modified due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But that didn’t stop them from enjoying the gorgeous day with family and close friends.

You can’t help but think that Steve would have been thrilled.

Especially later in the year when they made their very special announcement.

Once they found out she was pregnant, I bet Bindi couldn’t wait to recreate her family’s iconic photo.

Neither could her followers! The post has been favorited over 1 million times!

Just like Steve and Terri, it is obvious that Bindi and Chandler will be great parents.

And the world will be better off for the new Wildlife Warrior they are bringing into it.

This Baby with Down Syndrome Has a Smile That Goes Viral and Makes the Internet a Better Place

There’s nothing quite like a baby’s smile to light up a gloomy day.

Even when a cranky relative claims, “They’re not smiling at you. It’s just gas.”

One new adoptive mom from Texas proved cranky relatives everywhere wrong, when she shared a video of her beautiful little one smiling on cue.

The video, posted to Facebook by the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network, shows 8-month-old “Baby H” lying on a blanket for tummy time.

Image credit: Facebook

When her mom asks how her day is going, Baby H smiles up at her.

Mom coos back that she loves her new smile and asks, “Can you show me again?”

After a moment, the little girl obliges, grinning from ear to ear.

Image credit: Facebook

Her mom is so tickled that she laughs. “Oh my goodness! I like that new smile.”

Thrilled with the attention, Baby H keeps it up.

As long as mom will laugh, she’ll cheese for the camera.

Image credit: Facebook

Children, and babies especially, change and grow so quickly that it’s always a joy to record precious moments for posterity.

This family was not only lucky enough to document their daughter’s sweet smile, but they were willing to share their delight with the rest of the world.

As they told the Daily Mail:

“You can tell by my laughter how much we adore this smile and she actually only smiled like this for a couple of weeks so this video is a treasure for us.”

They decided to share the video, courtesy of the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network, because:

“We hope that all the viewers will see the beauty that lies in people with Down Syndrome. Although a Down Syndrome diagnosis can be scary, the reality is that your child has a purpose and will be able to live a full and happy life.”

The video has amassed more than 300,000 likes and over 38,000 comments on Facebook.

Watch it and see for yourself.

New Smile!

New smiles are the best smiles! #babygirl#smilingsweetie #Downsyndrome #Downsyndromeadoption #spreadingjoy

Posted by National Down Syndrome Adoption Network on Monday, October 7, 2019

Baby H certainly does light up the whole room, doesn’t he?

Guys Admit What They’d Do if They Were Women for a Day

I’m a dude. And I have oft wondered what it would be like to be, say, not a dude. A woman, perchance.

My musings on this topic have ranged from how it might feel physically, to how much I would like it, to what my external treatment would change to, etc.

But this is the internet and there’s not a lot of space for nuance here, so let’s get to the weirdness.

If you were the opposite sex for a day, what would you do? from AskReddit

Here’s what some of my fellow men said they’d do given 24 hours as a woman. I’m sure they’re not gonna embarrass me at all. Let’s find out.

1. Off to a great start.

Play with my woman boobs for a day instead of my man boobs like normal.

– d*ck-nipples

2. Yeah, that’s the technical term.

I believe the appropriate response is: be a hoe.

But with my luck I’d be on my period.

– Sh*ttinwithmykitten

3. What the f*ck.

I’d probably end up in the hospital for sticking so much stuff up my vagina

– beerknowswhen

4. Ok, this is…cute?

Find out what the girls really do at sleep overs, it’s a mystery that has to be revealed

– Anon_nomy

5. A valid social experiment.

Male at the moment, so would become female.

Aside from all of the obvious sex things, I’d love to walk into a computer or gaming store, with the knowledge I have, and see if/how differently I’d be treated.

– Ratfor

6. And we’re back to weird Freaky Friday sequels.

Go on tinder and swipe right on lesbians, hopefully can have lesbian sex before my day up.

Would be awkward if my day was up mid sex

– oknh

7. Guys.

Poop so I could see if it’s true that women don’t poop

– watches_yousleep

8. Aw, this is actually kinda sweet!

Depends.

If my wife and I switched roles, I would just have sex with her so she understands my adoration for it with her.

– mountiemotorsports

9. Again, a valuable lesson I’m sure.

Assuming I’m a good looking lady go to a bar and see what it’s like to get a ton of unwanted attention.

– PoliticalNerd87

10. …Reddit, everyone.

I know many people will say this, but have sex with my best friend, but in this case not cuz he is a virgin, since he is not, but cuz even though he had sex, he never felt truly loved, his longest relationship lasted about 2 months. Since I support him and care for him, I would let him silly f*ck me, just saying.

Also, none of this is gay.

– CoffeeK_

11. Science, of course.

Get naked and touch every part of my body. For research purposes.

Cos when I revert I want to have a whole lot more intimate knowledge of female sexual responses.

– Duck_Kak

12. Ya’ll are really scared of this, huh?

Being the lucky piece of sh*t I am, I’d probably get a period

– EnderCorePL

13. I just…

I’d post my t*ts on reddit for karma.

My current tits don’t get much traction here.

– [User Deleted]

14. THE WHOLE TEAM?

Play with the new plumping, then go f*ck a soccer (football) team.

– Chrome_Armadillo

15. You’ve…you’ve already thought about this a lot.

am I hot/attractive? I’d drive to walmart, get a high quality camera and some bananas. then make some “asmr” videos. like 50 of them. 20 with my clothes on and 30 topless. and then maybe 10 more full frontal nude. just recording and storing the footage all day. if i can do more, i’ll do more. in different rooms so it looks like different days.

Then when I’m back to being a guy, I’d slowly release the videos on youtube and start a patreon and onlyfans. and then upload the nude ones to those sites. and i’d do this over the span of a few years, uploading each video once every month, sometimes twice a month. some months being skipped.

Then when I’m down to my last video, I tell people that I’m moving and need some funds to move to another state to get a ton of money from my simp army. Then when I get as much money as possible, I upload a video of my male self saying that she’s taking a break for mental health reasons and that she’ll be back. but she never comes back. and then I’d leave the donation stuff open for those who want to keep simping for no more content.

– MyStationIsAbandoned

Well. That was…enlightening. I’m gonna go see what women had to say about becoming men. I’m sure it’s…better?

What would you do if you swapped sexes for a day?

Tell us in the comments.
