Yep, in the little yellow bottle. I tried to get a pic of the shirt to show but I cannot figure out which one it was because there is literally no mark at all.

I had a favorite shirt that I was sure was a goner because of a rust stain. Vinegar did absolutely nothing! None of the usual laundry tricks worked at all! The commercial rust treatment fixed it *completely*. Have hope!

Not to imply that I think there are death camps per se now, but there are certainly concentration camps & have been since Trump 1.0.
(Even as the fascism & white supremacy in play now is deeply homegrown from our own founding onwards, Nazi analogies are *also* not off base imho. Fascisms.)

The YouTube channel 3blue1brown has a fantastic set of videos on the basics of calculus. I used to tutor calculus and I think it really helps to get a good high-level view before digging in. youtu.be/WUvTyaaNkzM?...

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people.
The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

You can't let yourself be such a servant to other people's tastes that you don't create anything. I love seeing a house painted an unusual color I find garish and ugly - what a relief it is to find a world so full of tastes that are different from mine.

Parents don't keep the scribbles their children make because they're "good" or follow rules of professionalism. Good art is art that expresses something. That's it, that's the only actual rule there is.

For example, anyone who's always wanted to learn to play the saxophone but hasn't ever had a lesson should get their hands on an instrument and start loudly practicing outside of whatever hotel ICE officers are staying at.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”
