Rights are indelible and vital to every human being on this planet, and everyone should at least take the time to recognize what those rights are.

Bloggers, podcasters, and video producers will create and post something about Human Rights day on December 10th. This date will mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I’m here to do my part.

Human rights are important for everyone and I encourage you to sign the petition to have your voice heard by your government. In doing so, you will be supporting a plan to print the 30 inalienable rights set forth by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on all passports. I was going to give visual representations of each right, but a twitter friend of mine beat me to it. Instead of rehashing the same info, just click here and scroll to the bottom to view the 30 basic human rights.

The reasoning for printing our 30 basic human rights in passports is incredibly important. Passports are significant in the sense that every government around the globe has them, and they are one of the quintessential tools used to give people the freedom to move about the world as they please. Do you like moving? Do you like freedom? Do you like the freedom to move? OK, this is starting to sound like a sexy tango dance class, but you get the idea. This simple gesture will make not only you aware of your rights, but it will also make our government acknowledge that they exist. What’s insane about this issue is that all it takes is a presidential order to have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights printed in passports. Yet, every president, when asked, refused to do so.

Honestly, I had no clue that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights document existed until one of my Twitter friends started a website devoted to this cause. Apparently, I’m not alone either, because only 5% of the world knows what it is.

Our nascent society seems to be turning around for the better, and I hope we continue to gain respect for one another as human beings and not fragment ourselves into categories like gender, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. We all have equal rights, and it’s time we start acknowledging them.

In addition to signing the petition, you can also help out by following @HumanRightsDay on Twitter and also by adding a Human Rights Day “little guy” logo to your avatar. If you have a blog or webpage add a support badge so your viewers can find out more about it. And if you’re feeling really inspired, why not write a letter to your senator, congressman, or to the new administration and request that the Declaration of Human Rights be printed in passports.

I just found out through the grapevine this morning that one of my site designs,Lynnterpretation, made it on Smashing Magazine’s 50 Beautiful Blog Designs. It’s been on there for over two months now, and I can’t believe I completely overlooked it! Thank you to everyone at Smashing Magazine, and I am truly honored that you selected one of my blog designs. I really don’t even consider myself to be in the same league as some of the other featured designers, but it’s good to know I’m doing something right.

It’s not quite a figure of Jesus or Mother Mary’s nose, but it’s certainly an interesting phenomenon. What is in the soil this year? I’d like to say this is the first occurrence. However, this oddity that came from my dad’s garden was not our first concern. Last summer we noticed our squash and zucchinis were fornicating as well to create some Frankenstein squachinis. There is either a massive plant orgy going on here or we purchased some mutated seeds. What do you see?
