Dear full moon, I am a science based human. You shouldn't affect me. But, apparently varied bacteria still evolved to be highest at full moons and also to live inside humanity. So, I get to do body aches and migraines. I know it's not your fault, hon. Keep shining. I'll wait it out. Best wishes, 🐦

One of my favorite artists...

The viewers are encouraged to take pieces of candy away, symbolically performing a sacrament of partaking of the body, and symbolically watching his partner waste away to nothing. It is such a poignant and powerful piece

I dive deep into “The Price of American Authoritarianism,” a crucial essay Steven Levitsky, Lucan Way, and Danile Ziblatt published in Foreign Affairs - an opportunity to take stock of where the country stands, how much damage has been done, and what might come next.

Mediocre mom forgets to plan ahead for New Year's and doesn't go by pharmacy two days ago, leaving kid without needed medication overnight. Dangit. I fed everybody, but we need our brains to brain properly.
