There's so much shit I haven’t bought because of these tariffs and I am PISSED about it. I haven’t foregone anything critical, but I need to replace my jade, and the seller I use is overseas. I’m not paying $2000 with the 100% tariff.
Give *everyone* their illegally collected taxes (what the White House and the media called "tariffs") back.

what if we had one nostril and two mouths (two tongues, two sets of teeth etc)
Why We Have Two Nostrils Instead of One Big Hole. (Great title!) “The nostrils alternate airflow from one side to the other. This may allow one side of the nose to rest.” [popsci.com]
Why we have two nostrils instead of one big hole
Our nostrils share the workload like coworkers on rotation.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

the balance hasn't remained constant, but people have long wrongly seen the NYT as a liberal publication that feels the need to bend over backwards for conservatives to fight bias charges, when in fact it's a conservative publication aimed at convincing liberals. they're more open about that now

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.
