I know my dog’s face can’t nullify all the ongoing horror, but it’s the best I can offer. I’m absurdly ill at this point and taking care of this little dude is what keeps me going, more than my writing or my human loved ones. Dogs and most animals are magical that way ❤️

Code-era smut is so amazing because this film has seven sex-starved old men who see a hot Barbara Stanwyck in their home, and instantly become cartoon wolves in desperate need of an ear, nose, and throat specialist to surgically remove the train whistle and steam emitting from their fragile skulls.

“The Tennessean astutely reported, there is a real ‘lack of transparency over how the state is securing’ the pentobarbital it will use, and therefore questions about whether it could be of shoddy quality. This should be especially alarming….” www.memphisflyer.com/pentobarbita...

It is deeply bizarre that the state tried to kill Christa Pike, failed, and then called an ambulance for her. There’s no world in which that makes sense. And it is torture to make her prepare to die and then… this.

Press release I woke up to, on Christa Pike’s condition (sent 9/30 at 11:36pm ET)
Statement from Christa Pike’s attorney Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason from the TN Office of the Post Conviction Defender, and Stephen Ferrell and Luke Ihnen from Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee

Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms. Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy. 

Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.

There is something deeply wrong with trying to kill a person twice, then sending her to a hospital for life saving measures so that they can try to kill her again.

In the ‘90s, there was a Lana Turner biopic script and, reportedly, Sharon Stone was going to portray Turner and Antonio Banderas was going to portray Johnny Stompanato. It all came undone and I still find it disappointing b/c the casting was genius.

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.
