Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

PSA-wear your SPF50 lip sunblock/balm. Went to a dermatologist for the first time in years, at least since pre-pandemic shutdown. Had two pre-cancerous spots on my scalp (aka my bald spot) frozen. Also got a biopsy of a spot on my lower lip. For reference, I’m 56 and work in theater(not much sun).

The book of love is long and boring, No one can lift the damn thing. It’s full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing. But I, I love it when you read to me, And you, you can read me anything. (The Magnetic Fields, but also there’s a few/several really good covers!)

A little miffed. The contractor who did our kitchen tile managed to strip the finish from one of the kitchen cabinets when they removed the tape they used to drape the kitchen. They also draped badly, because dust got all over the entire house, but that’s a whole ‘nother problem.

If anyone has any geniusy clever ways to aid clean up post-tile demo dust, I’m all ears. Or rather, I’m all itchy red-eyed. (We’ve been wearing N95s all week because of the smoke already, so that’s covered.)

Having the kitchen tile replaced, which is its own particulate-generating procedure, and today we also have wildfire smoke and a heat index of 100+. This is bad no matter what, but add in lung disease and just…ugh.

Medical corner: I see people using the terms "aneurysm" and "dissection" interchangeably and they are distinct conditions. This article from healthline explains the differences. www.healthline.com/health/aorti...

Aortic Dissection vs. Aneurysm: How Do They Differ?

An aortic aneurysm occurs when a weak aortic wall stretches, causing it to bulge. An aortic dissection happens when there's a tear in the aortic wall, which can be fatal.
