Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Yoan Capote’s Racional series (2000–2004) replaces the male torso’s genitals with a brain to confront desire and reason directly. Through what he calls “psychological realism,” he stages internal conflict—blending surrealism, psychology, and irony to create unsettling, memorable works. #art #artist

The Social and Emotional Lives of Cows From the Outside In

the etymology of "naughty" is really something, huh? Well, the opposite of "really something," technically.
Nawiht became "naught." Naughty, therefore, literally means "nothingy."

It originally meant "poor" or "having nothing," which came to describe ill intent/bad behavior thanks to classism (poor people = vagabonds, criminals) plus a dash of the notion as we see in the modern phrase "moral bankruptcy."

Both belief types are fueled by a general conspiracy mentality, the view that truth is political, & alternative media use."

There will come a time—and soon I hope—when more people wake up to their involvement in the conspiracy (we call a world view) in the belief that we are superior to all other living beings and entitled to kill them, dismember them, and eat them.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."

‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”

So a napkin is a little tablecloth.
