Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.

I want him to win regardless, but El-Sayed is really proving he has the juice here. I've been impressed by his seriousness for a while now, he knows what he's doing. Dude knows ball.

We are living in an authoritarian non-democracy and I do not know how we turn the ship around

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

Really lovely morning with Ricky Forster of the High Spen Blue Diamonds Rapper Dance Team. Ricky is one of generations of dancers and he keeps the rapper flame well and truly alive. A font of knowledge, a champion of North East heritage and very generous with his time and expertise 😃

The Danish researcher who wrote the protocol is out there stating: “Not conducting the trial would result in definite harm” 😳 That’s a quotation that ethicists are going to be using for generations to come in their classes about this proposed trial, which is being called The New Tuskegee

While Republicans repeatedly claim their major tax bill helped most Americans, the data that would confirm that claim was scheduled to be released in July, and then updated again in September.

But the agency hasn’t published any of it, according to Politico.

A one bedroom apartment in Seattle in 1980 was $400 or 1/3rd of your wages.

I feel like no intrepid vampire adventurer should be without one of these bad boys.

The Soviet healthcare that many tankies are proudly and foolishly using as some sort of a gotcha, still used things like this in the mid-80s, as in 1980s: Cupping: glass cups were heated to create a vacuum and placed on the back to stimulate circulation & relieve muscle or respiratory congestion.

The image shows fire cupping, an alternative therapy where a practitioner places a brief flame inside a glass cup to heat the air, creates a vacuum as it cools, and applies it to the skin for suctionThe image shows fire cupping, an alternative therapy where a practitioner briefly heats the inside of glass cups with a flame to create a vacuum suction before placing them on the skin.

Let's go back to that "amazing" Soviet healthcare though. Dentists routinely packed arsenic into teeth to kill the nerve for pain relief. Known as мышьяк, this paste was applied directly to an exposed nerve to completely eliminate tooth pain.

Mustard plasters (garchichniki) are paper packets infused with mustard powder that were dipped in warm water and applied directly to the chest or back to draw blood to the skin and treat bronchitis or pneumonia.

A product package of Rudaz Mustard Plasters (Gorchichnik-Paket). The packet is bright yellow with a white vertical band down the center. At the top, a red oval logo contains the yellow Cyrillic text "РУДАЗ". Below the logo, the green text reads "ГОРЧИЧНИК-ПАКЕТ". A red horizontal banner in the middle specifies "20 ШТУК". The lower half features a semi-oval landscape photo of a blooming yellow mustard field stretching toward a sunrise.
