Drink lots of water!
One quick note, the antihistamine protocol will not help most people with anything other than the COVID vaccine. For shingles, the preventative is to be INCREDIBLY super hydrated! Like, "peeing waterfalls" levels of hydrated.

This kind of bottle-shaming is a not-so-subtle way to push women out of the workforce.

The Cow Tools and Hellmo meme templates also work as paper snowflakes! I used copy paper, scissors, and a hole punch. #papercraft #snowflake #cowtools #hellmo #elmo #paperart #comic

This version of Riu Riu Chiu by Chanticleer from the 1990s is also super wonderful: youtu.be/4uNh82VT3q4?...

Looks like a great week so far for writers to feel a lot better about their own writing yet also a lot worse about the standards of the publishing industry.

Disney Hall is great. Some of his small projects are perhaps even greater.
If you really want to understand Frank Gehry's genius, look past the titanium showpieces, @cmonstah.bsky.social writes. She explores the remodeling projects through which Gehry made the mundane into the extraordinary:
Frank Gehry’s Best Work Was Not His Flashiest
If you really want to understand the late architect’s transformative genius, look past the titanium showpieces that made him a household name.

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...
The only way to assure individual liberty is to hand unprecedented governmental power to the guy engaged in blatant democratic backsliding
Kavanaugh: Broad delegations to unaccountable agencies are dangerous for individual liberty! We have used the major questions doctrine to prevent agencies from overreaching.

I was annoyed by this headline (the other "side" of the pronatalism debate is "fuck pronatalism," and we are right!!) but the piece itself, by the always-thoughtful @philipncohen.com, is great newrepublic.com/article/2040...
What If Both Sides in the Birth Rate Debate Are Wrong?
The right wants to steer women away from work and toward motherhood. The left wants to provide them with more state support so it’s easier to have children. We should refuse this choice.

Extra context that explains the air of high camp you're correctly clocking in this photo: I went to the same school for girls as Little Edie Beale from "Grey Gardens."

The context: every year, the 3rd grade class at my school put on a production of "The Nutcracker" in December. (Not sure if they still do this but it was super fun.) Everyone got a part and I was lucky enough to be cast as the Mouse King. (1/x)
