It’s primarily a Jewish and Muslim thing. Christianity doesn’t really require it.

He was also a eugenicist!

Covering the organs with a cage has been practiced with entire success. A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anaesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases. The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice, and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed, it may be forgotten and not resumed.

SnapCircuits!

They have a bunch of different kits, there’s like a music one that’ll even let you make a circuit that plays music from a phone.

They are absolutely a WONDERFUL introduction to electricity for a kid.

So is him running for a third term, but his office is filled with “Trump 2028” hats.

Forcing those military generals to sit through a campaign speech showed that the Hatch Act is basically dead.

“Ledasha” is an urban legend. (with a nasty snack of racism)

If you hold a single text to be the very word of your god

Which not all Christians do. There are many who believe to be the words of human beings, just divinely inspired or significant.

A 2018 report from the Indiana Maurer University School of Law, along with a subsequent report in the UCLA Journal of Gender and Law, found that, based on accounts of former inmates, it was common for trans women placed in men’s prisons to be assigned to cells with aggressive cisgender male cellmates to maintain social control and to, as one inmate described it, “keep the violence rate down”. Trans women used in this manner are often raped daily. This process is known as “V-coding”, and has been described as so common that it is effectively “a central part of a trans woman’s sentence”.

If the fascists get me, some stranger will have to clean out an apartment full of a ton of sparkly colorful paintings of penises with random passages from the Left Behind series modpodged on.

It makes life worth living.

Art. I found some cheap acrylic glitter paint I bought a while back and I’ve been making sparkly erotic paintings. Some mixed media with mutilated copies of mass market christian books, random wooden trays. I have a bunch of leftover scraps of t-shirt from making yarn and other fabric remnants, so I make quilts.

There’s more than circumstantial evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell was a power user and mod.

Med schools should accept more than 2% of applicants.

The problem is a lack of residencies, and there’s been lobbying to keep the number of residencies low, to keep doctor wages high.

You can cut decals out of t-shirts and use them for appliqué!

There are, but if you get the little plastic thing of assorted needles you’ll be fine. Maybe $1 from Walmart.

I’d grab black cotton thread to start out with (“mercerized” is going to be the better stuff). For mending, it’s usually either about hiding your stitches so they aren’t seen at all, and it doesn’t matter, or picking something that matches what you’re fixing.

The thread that comes with kits is usually crappy polyester that will break if you look at it funny - it’s only really useful for “basting” (sewing something together temporarily to hold it in place while you do the more permanent sewing.) The other things in kits (pins, seam rippers, tiny scissors) are usually okay though.

Fixing buttons is a good project to practice on IMHO. Lots of clothes hide an extra button somewhere on a tag inside, but you can also get a nice plastic jar of mixed buttons at the dollar store usually.

Really, don’t overthink it. Even ugly stitches will hold stuff together if you put enough of them on.

Turning the gusset is actual witchcraft. I’ve made a cardigan, but never a sock.

A good trick is to thrift “by touch” - feeling for cotton or heavier materials. There are a lot of quality cotton XXL blood drive/college or work event t-shirts that no one will ever want. I’ve volunteered doing some sorting through donations for a homeless shelter before, and they weren’t lacking for those at all. It was more a lack of dress pants for job interviews that were needed.

Resellers are usually going for names and not necessarily quality from what I’ve noticed.

988 = 911

Nuremberg was a failure anyway. They gave the Nazis the easiest fucking trials ever.

I’m afraid that the outcome will be the same here. That the ICE goons will live quiet lives after this. There will be no reckoning - that the desire to move on and forget all of this will override the desire to punish. That we will rn more “fair” to them than they are to the immigrants they round up.

Might help him please his wife enough that she doesn’t have to go after whatever shriveled up thing Elon has…
