happy Eddie Cantor balloon day
a Macys Thanksgiving Day parade balloon of the actor Eddie Cantor in 1940, but it’s a huge bulbous man with giant looming eyes and eyebrows. his arms are bent oddly forward towards his waist, his pants are huge pantaloon shapes and the entire body is filled slightly forward as he is paraded down the street same photo but forward via and sepia. In this photo you can see his little downturned lips

this, from the New York Times, sucks
In 2021, a surge in violence during the pandemic inflamed tensions so severely that residents in Buckhead, a large and wealthy enclave, tried to secede and form their own city, threatening to debilitate Atlanta's finances and deepen animosity over race and class. The city's police force suffered from sagging morale and depleted ranks. And a protest over a proposed police and fire training center - nicknamed Cop City by its critics - gained nationwide attention and prompted an aggressive crackdown by state officials that led to the fatal shooting of a demonstrator. Since then, crime rates have plummeted. The secession bid in Buckhead was thwarted by a bipartisan effort by state lawmakers. The city has fallen short of recruitment goals for the Police Department, but the agency has still gradually built up its ranks. And after the demonstrators were cleared, the public safety training center was completed, and the movement opposing it largely dissipated.

Thrift store DVD section has an interesting selection
DVD titled “George Bush goes to heaven” with a picture of George W Bush with angel wings and the text “It’s judgement day for George!” “George Bush goes to Heaven: Widescreen Edition” Larry Sparks is an angry Republican. Frustrated by the antics of his own political party, he vents his rage in emails, chat rooms and web logs. After being warned by Federal agents to cease his activities, Larry decides to launch a one-man campaign against the right-wing establishment--starting with a satirical community play in which George Bush must defend his political life to see if he can enter Heaven.

Sorry, but I’m still frustrated that all of these diverse publications with completely different voices were rolled into ONE that isn’t currently accepting freelance submissions.
Friends, babes, darlings. If you ever read Bitch, Bust, Hairpin, Jezebel, The Toast, or xoJane, if you miss that feeling of there being a place on the internet where smart, cool, feminists are thinking big thoughts and building community, @theflytrapmedia.com is the best gift you can give yourself

My POTS doctor, who I loved, left the university hospital system I was seeing her at to open her own clinic in New York and the pricing is actually unbelievable. Her clinic is for people with #POTS, #MCAS, #HSD. Who could afford this?

#chronicillness #disability #neisvoid #heds
Pricing: Complex Chronic Illness Care • 90-minute initial visit: $2,000 • 90-minute 6-week follow-up visit: $1,500 • 6-8 week follow-ups (45 minutes): $750 for as long as care is needed • Follow-ups may be spaced further apart (e.g., every 3, 6, or 12 months) depending on clinical need and shared decision-making between Dr. and the patient. • Initial follow-up with NP (once onboarded): $400 • Telehealth triage visit with RN: $150
