Love the Pyrex collection AND the deer head... rescuing and displaying her beauty like this feels like you are celebrating her. I would hate to think of her stacked in a garage somewhere gathering dust; I'm glad she is with you! :)

I'm a renter, but as soon as I walked in my current house I knew it was home... the owners have kept all of the original tiling, flooring, and lighting from the 50's-- which immediately made me fall in love, and then I learned that they had updated central heat/air and water heater to be current and green. Big backyard and so much beautiful natural light. Quiet little street with other older homes. It's my dream home, and I never want to move!

I've been living with my little brother for 3 years while he finished undergrad. It's fabulous--he loves antiquing, cooking, and my cats, and we're both queer. Alas, he's moving away for grad school in August. Gonna miss him like crazy... I'd live with him forever if I could!

I love this... its slightly unsettling nature adds to its charm, in my opinion.

Absolutely, I just meant to provide context to the conversation as a whole. The word definitely has baggage and some are triggered by it, but some are not-- and it's definitely up to individuals to work out how they feel about it. Similarly, I know my choice to call myself queer is triggering to many, especially folks from past generations, but it's deeply important to me that I reclaim that word.

So that was a long-winded way to say... thank you for your thoughtful commentary below about how your identity informs your use and understanding of the word. And on a lighter note, your house is gorgeous. :)

Usually I just read AT without comment, but... here's an overview of the problematic context of the word "squaw," found through the great blog Native Appropriations:
