Aid Access

I am currently a resident of a state. I am not owned by that state or any other state. No state has a claim of ownership of me. As a free person I can travel from one state to any other state. I can, at will, stop being a resident of a state.

I also have a right to medical privacy.

Attorneys general in 19 states are claiming authority to obtain private medical records when residents of their state travel to other states and obtain medical services in other states.

That is fascism. RESIST.

From NASA: Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are higher than at any time in the past 400,000 years. During ice ages, CO2 levels were ~200 ppm, and during the warmer interglacial periods, ~280 ppm. In 2013, CO2 levels surpassed 400 ppm for the 1st time in recorded history. This recent rise in CO2 shows a constant relationship with fossil-fuel burning, and can be well accounted for based on the premise that ~60% of fossil-fuel emissions stay in the air.

: Note to actors not currently in SAG-AFTRA about performing during the strike.

If you are approached and offered a job, check with SAG-AFTRA first. If you do not and it winds up it's work for a struck company, you will never be allowed to join the union.

Check first, and if it's not for a struck company, you're good.

"Bees actively seek out drugs such as nicotine and caffeine when given the choice and even self-medicate with nicotine when sick. Male fruit flies stressed by being deprived of mating opportunities prefer food containing alcohol ...."
--Lars Chittka, "The Inner Lives of Insects," Scientific American, July 2023.

IMHO, conclusive proof of insects' intelligence. Now I want to know if a caffeinated bee mutters "loser" when she flies by a male fruit fly drowning his sorrows in a rotten apricot.



"And, one hopes, a future Supreme Court will not rest until it honors the rest of the Constitution as zealously as it now interprets the Second Amendment.”

@KodoAndSangha Both of those agencies operate primarily on donations. So even if your not in need of services maybe go there anyway and drop em a dime or ten...

It's better, he said, to be a beggar than to be uneducated; for the one lacks money, the other lacks humanity.

At Olympia Pride last Saturday I saw a T-shirt that read:

I thought it was clever, but it turns out to have a history worth knowing: queerarchives.org.au/collectio

I would let King George quarter a whole garrison in my house if I could get the morons in my neighborhood to stop setting off fireworks while I’m trying to sleep.

Noooo....

Taylor Taranto had guns, 400 rounds of ammunition in his van when he was arrested near Barack Obama’s home.

Donald Trump posted Obama’s address on social media. Taranto reposted it, then showed up there.

I knew the 2020 election was going to cast a long shadow, but the Drumpf Court killing affirnative action in college admissions, kicking student loan recipients in the teeth, and okaying pseudo-Christian bigotry, all in less than 48 hours, still hits hard.
If a Republican gets presidency in 2024 we might as well lay off the justices and replace them with a photo of Samuel Alito.
