Crafting tip:
If you take 2 long steel nails, bend them into Us with plyers, then wind them around each other, or solder them to each other like a star, you can get the cutest metal stars. Tough ones, too.
Watch out, though. The points of the stars are a bit sharp. Keep out of reach of children.

Don't read the comments.
Most of the profiles posting mind-numbingly ignorant and hateful comments aren't even human. They are bots.
1000s of profiles, mimicking the voice of one person, all to make you angry, tired, and useless.
Don't piss into the wind; stay out of the comments.

I was seeing commercials from political pacs using Trump's voice over-dubbing... umm... it is AI.
They are using AI to make him say whatever the hell they want.
Could we at least get a law saying you HAVE to disclose when you use AI?

I'm kind of confused at this point when politicians say, "protest peacefully, don't give Trump a reason to misalign you or give him what he wants".
Y'all, they just shọt a widow in the face. There is no "behaving" well enough to avoid abuse.
DV survivors understand this dynamic.

Having children right now feels like a protest--a protest in favor of an actual future.

The best thing about 45/47's falsehood-laced post about the outrageous killing of a widow is that he's is still in the Epstein files.

National Guards might be called into Minneapolis, at the governor's request.
They won't be there to protect ICE.

It isn't German chocolate cake.
It is German's chocolate cake.
It is not from Germany. It is an American dessert.
It is named after Samuel German, the creator of the chocolate used to make the cake.

It has been misunderstood for too long.

Survivors' bias is also saying things like "they used to build houses better back in the day" and not realize you think that because only the well-built houses can survive 150yrs.

I just had bloodwork done.
I was told I need to get a chickenpox vaccine to continue with my doctor's treatment. (There are too many newborn babies and delicate pregnant women at this clinic.)
I had chickenpox as a kid, so I thought I had antibodies against it. Nope.
Science done Scienced me .

The absolute tantrum people have when you refuse to give them an argument.
I just told someone, " I think you're a bad person, so I don't think it's productive to continue this conversation."
They freaked!
But it was so freeing. I get to walk away and be happy, they get to be miserable alone.

The leading causes of death for children in the USA:
1. Firearms
2. Suicide/death from risky behavior.
3. Homicide
These aren't normal things kids are supposed to die of.
Illness, natural disasters, and accidents make sense. Not intentional violence.
As a society, I'm concerned.

My husband, who used to box and had to quit in his 20s because he has a glass jaw, looked at Jake Paul during the Mike Tyson fight and said, "I can tell from the shape of his face that kid has a glass jaw."

Aging is watching It's a Wonderful Life at 40 and thinking, "Jimmy Stewart can get it."

I'm watching an old episode of Ink Master, and I can't help but notice that the minute Kyle Dunbar shoved Chris Núñez the judges started cooling the tone of their criticism.
The temperature of those criticisms was gradually becoming more and more aggressive and unhelpful.

If anyone wants to know the state of the American Healthcare system:
My last uterine surgery, I was given an IBprophen and one Xanax.
