Hi, I'm Nait! I live in sunny SoCal (714). Landscape by Frank Camp dandelion. #photography #nature
It's sunny and beautiful here, and it's home!
I enjoy the beach life, juvenile fiction, poetry, photography, foxes, tattoos, tea cups, puppies, kittens, and art among other things cutetascular.
You'll find on my blog a random mix of personal posts, aesthetic things, humor, LGBT related posts, and political actions ^^
I am happily taken by my Prince Charming.
This blog is a minor reflection of who I am and what I enjoy. Get to know me.

Want to spend election night at NPR HQ in DC?
npr:
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be at NPR on election night? Here’s your chance to find out.
On Tuesday, November 6, NPR’s social media desk will host around two dozen of you at NPR headquarters in Washington DC. We’re looking for people from across the political spectrum – bloggers, Twitter users, Tumblrs, Redditors, etc – who plan to cover election night on their own. It’ll be a chance to hang out with fellow political geeks and NPR staff, as well as an opportunity to experience election night at NPR in person. We’ll supply the food and the wifi, too.
If you’re interested in applying, please fill out this form. We’ll make our selections over the next couple of weeks on a rolling basis, so the sooner you apply, the better.

Having a poopy Friday? So are we! For your reading pleasure: two feces-related stories that are sure to make your afternoon… unique.
First, the prank that earned William Buckland the title of ‘Best Use of Grass Ever’ from Robert Krulwich.
Second, a years-old debate on our friend, the toilet: is squatting or sitting better for your health?
Happy Friday! — rachel

Photo Credit: Susan Russo for NPR
Makes 4 servings:
2 medium unripe plantains (they should be hard and green), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or Mexican/taco seasoning)
1/4 teaspoon salt
The zest of 1 small lime
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For easy cleanup, line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place plantains in a large bowl and, using your hands, toss with oil and seasonings until coated. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and eat.
