If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Following odd fact gave me pause:
Feelings of ENVY and JEALOUSY excite the same regions of the brain that UNRELENTING PAIN does. I suppose this means CHOOSING TO CLINGE TO OLD, GRUDGES BORN OUT OF JEALOUSY & ENVY and HAVING ONE'S TESTICLES CRUSHED IN A VICE are equally harmful cognitively, aye?

Applied for a job I thought I'd never get. Now, having accidently made it through to round three panel interview, I'm asked what "What do you identify as, specifically?" I had answered "other."
Me: "Adult."
Them: "What?"
Me: "I identify as a human experienced at adulting."
On to round four...
SMH.

My body hair is standing on end & I'm still getting shocked if I touch metal even while wearing rubber soled shoes.
This may all be due to my "heavy" skeleton. My bones are more strontium than calcium. This happens when you are raised Vegan. All too weird. (3/3)

In fact, lifting my hair up in the dark made white sparks. Finally, ran castor oil through the hair on my head & eyelashes. That stopped the sparking. Yes, it had sparked and hit my eyes! (2/3)

Strangest thing. Since Monday, amid our proton, radiation, magnetic soup of a solar storm, my hair got so full of static it went completely flat on my head. None of the old tricks (dryer sheets, Static Guard spray, etc.) worked to fix it. (1/3)
