This appears to be the right time to remind everyone, that Saudi Arabia's abortion laws are more forgiving than (wannabe-theocratic) Alabama's.

"Alabama finds itself in the company of about half of Muslim-majority Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, Syria, the Palestinian territories, and Iraq, which according to United Nations and World Health Organization data, have total bans on abortions except where a woman’s life is in danger. So much for the US being land of the free."

Here's a random fact: Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3000 years old and are still perfectly edible.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is ‘Nazi’ Nobody cares about their motives anymore.”

"Republican Floats Refusing to Invite Biden For State of the Union Until Border is Secured"

Which the GOP has blocked. Funny how that works....

Grr. Some fucker just tried to shame me for expecting medical professionals to wear high-quality masks when doing procedures on me which necessitate me not wearing a mask. It’s to protect both them and me, you rectal canoe! He tried to say there was no scientific evidence masks helped. Blocked that guy. Blargh. I got COVID at the dentist office, FFS. I can’t believe we’re going back to the days when people rolled their eyes at germ theory. #MaskUp

If you look for similarities to Nazism, you will find it in Palestinian homes. Gaza had a Hitler 2 shop until IDF recently took it down - it had puppets with knives at the windows.

We are finding Hitler books everywhere in children's bedrooms and Hamas literature.

Jews now and before as a people always wanted to just exist in peace. None of us like the destruction to Palestinians, obviously outside of some, but they don't represent Israelies and have 0 to do with Zionism

I often wonder anymore why it is a couple hundred thousand members of the United States military fought and died in WW2 fighting Nazis. Because here in America these days, it’s gettin’ to be like it never happened. Like, those U.S. troops died for absolutely no reason.

If you offer her caviar on the first date, you’re quite the roemancer.

The #Iowa legislature, at the behest of the NRA and the politically powerful group Iowa Gun Owners, passed a law banning credit card companies from flagging suspicious gun purchases. So much for the Republican Party being tough on crime. The NRA does not believe in the 2nd Amendment. They believe in the right of criminals to bear arms. Big difference. #GunControl littlevillagemag.com/iowa-hous

I like how when Russia makes an advancement, it’s always like “After 15 months of combat and 80,000 casualties, Russia has successfully captured a strategically insignificant pile of rubble that was once a small city. Also, Ukrainians shot down 3 Russian fighter jets and one of only 5 radar planes, and also sunk another large warship.” #Ukraine

Red flag: In the US, "#teachers are dead last among all occupational groups and professions in feeling their opinions count at work, that their supervisor creates an open and trusting environment and that they are treated with respect each day. Teachers are also the highest of all professions in experiencing burn-out and stress. And it’s no wonder why half of all teachers are currently looking for a new job."

Not for everyone, but since it’s almost finished, I’m ready to share. This is how I deal with my ugly mastectomy scars.
