Hypocrisy makes me break out in HIVES. And sadly, not a cool bee hive hairdo, complete with mini skirt and go-go boots (the ones Nancy wore, made for walkin'). The hives that would make your mom bathe you in calamine lotion, and tape oven mits over your hands.

All told a mixed bag. 90s nostalgia rides on if you were in HS/JH at the time & you liked it/fit in there, if you were legal to drink, if you had internet access, & if you had reliable drag queens/art nerds who could get you staff discount at MAC, & help you fix your eyeliner if you got crying drunk

there's good and bad 90s: Destiny's Child, Nirvana, Des'ree, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, TLC, and Garth Brooks before he sucked, ST:NG & DS9, but also Spice Girls, Savage Garden, Madonna's worst songs, Friends, Seinfeld, & reality TV. Also, Jim Henson, Freddie Mercury, and Sammy Davis Jr died.

FB memory. No longer live in Van, or Van-adjacent. One winter was worst on record - had to abandon my car for two months, because a) it was actually too cold for battery to engage b) snow plow buried my car in snow taller than me. Today? Tank top and shorts in the sun. WTF

Sure, also we didn't know we could have reduced sepsis, gangrene, & maternal/infant mortality by washing hands and sanitising surgical instruments between patients. Hardly the pinnacle of scientific or moral thought. Public executions illegal in CND (1870), US (1930) & most of the rest of the world.

All major pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. refuse to provide their drugs for use in lethal injection executions; states often turn to unconventional, and sometimes illegal, methods of obtaining them. In 2015 the FDA confiscated execution drugs that AZ and TX had tried to import from India.

Drugs in jars, bags of cash: Tennessee ignored warnings from Arizona's botched executions

Christa Pike's botched execution in Tennessee was not the first to go wrong on Frank Strada's watch. Before he took charge of Tennessee's prisons, Strada oversaw three botched executions in Arizona.

Because pentobarbital is a controlled substance, federal law requires containers of it to be labeled so that it can be clearly identified. But the Mason jar allegedly holding Arizona's supply of pentobarbital didn't even describe how much of the drug was in it

We can't. More or less resigned myself to never crossing the border again, despite a marrow-deep desire to visit NYC and NOLA, and to go back to Vegas, Seattle, and Portland. Friend of a colleague got detained for 3 weeks, despite crossing frequently for work, being white & having papers in order.

If Rubio feels Americans are being "unfairly targeted" by the ICC, he should get the word out to stop committing war crimes. When 1 CND soldier committed unspeakable acts in the line of duty, he was court martialed, jailed, & we disbanded the entire regiment. Stop whining & dole out consequences.

"consent here is a legal criterion, not an ethical one — a floor, not a ceiling. It defines the bare minimum, but it doesn’t define the good. That gap between 'legal' and 'decent' is where moral criticism does its work, but a lack of a moral language strips us of the nuance needed to

Don’t Tell Me What To Do by Nataliya Bagatskaya

Acrylic on Canvas

A woman with bright, textured reddish-orange hair stands centrally facing the viewer. She is wearing a striking gothic-style dress consisting of a fitted, high-necked black bodice with lace-up corset details down the chest and sleeves, flowing into a dramatic open-front overskirt that reveals a voluminous, pleated floor-length white underskirt.

The Cats: Three black cats are included in the scene, adding a mysterious and independent atmosphere to the piece:
• One cat is on the left, standing on its hind legs stretching up against a set of classic paneled double doors.
• A second cat rests calmly on top of a tall, dark, vintage radiator on the right.
• A third cat is depicted inside the framed poster on the wall, directly above the radiator.
