Someone has disrespectfully changed Yvonne De Carlo's Wikipedia page to make her sound like some type of conservative religious nut, but in life, she could really fuck and was proud of it.

(She was obviously a ballerina and not a belly dancer. Hollywood has always been scared.)

I assume that RFK's never going to show us his calves because they are deformed. Maybe he has chicken legs, too, but my guess is that he has big weird flat spots on his shins, one calf is bigger than the other, or at least one is misshapen, like something took a bite out of it.

Some angry drunks drink because gut bacteria influences iron absorption. Beer used to be a great source for bacteria and B-vitamins, but it sadly no longer is in the US unless you make it yourself.

There is a clue here as to why fascism and warmongering rise in men following pandemics - unusual iron build-up in the brain.

Iron deficient men tend to be ruthless, bloodthirsty and violent. Not being able to use iron can be worse.

I visit the NPS page sometimes to check out all 10 cams when something neat is happening. The snapshots and archives here are better in a lot of ways. Some of the best posts in my feed honestly.

Each one captures something unexpectedly artistic for sure. Like the one in Owen, ON, always obscured by weather, and how Superior, WI, is covered in spiders.

The perfect cam would be all Isle Royale all the time. The early days of the lake superior page were amazing for it. I check the others for auroras sometimes and nothing compares.

Really interesting. I assumed it was the photogenic and bustling nature of Chicago and the auroras and lore of Superior driving the interest. Those are my reasons anyway. Love to see the posts.

I am laughing because you answered the real question instead of the one I asked.

Interesting. Maybe he was just renting a chair on Livernois.

thinking about the day that @grenadine.bsky.social and I went shopping over there. c. 2012? I wonder if the barber shop is still there.

I used to buy cat food on the Avenue of Fashion.

Some things are better. There's no crap in the water and groceries online is the best. Everything is great as long as I don't interact with anyone or leave the property.
I gave up on mainstream doctors long ago. When they discovered something relevant it was by accident. I run this experiment now.

I have never used a website in a normal way. I like sharing and comparing notes. I'm weird about it sometimes. I'm here to make good friends, not a lot of friends.

Find something new to love. A place, a time, an instrument, something for yourself. Look for opportunities to say yes. And stay off the dating apps!!

The first time I ever posted on an oxalate support group, the lead researcher suggested that my salicylate allergy might be a pendrin problem, and it appears that she was correct. Not just pendrin, but also prestin, with a sulphur connection to TRPA1 and sunlight driving seasonality.

"Nor should we here pass unnoticed a circumstance which illustrates, in a remarkable degree, the psychological nature of hysterical sufferings, namely, that many chlorotic females, by joining the dancers at the Carnevaletto, were freed from their spasms and oppression of breathing for the whole year, although the corporeal cause of their malady was not removed." The black death and the dancing mania by Hecker, J. F. C. (Justus Friedrich Carl), 1795-1850; Babington, B. G. (Benjamin Guy), 1794-1866, translator https://archive.org/details/00338041.9352.emory.edu/page/157/mode/2up

I gained a number of insights by reading this book, but the important breakthrough has been in recognizing that I have a chloride problem, and this has probably always been the source of my health problems, including asthma, tinnitus, food allergies, PCOS, skin problems and the compulsion to dance.

people used to say they were here for engagement and weirdness, but it seems the others have come to their senses.

I'm thinking that trad pound cake needs to be at the top for this chart to be valid.

By 5, I was taken to work with my 3yo brother in tow. My dad gave us errands to run all morning and then we did my great-grandma the favor of spending time with her and eating her cookies. We used to climb around in wrecked cars in the salvage yard and then he would pay us for the tools we found.

Partner is dying of laughter over this. When he was 8, he used to skip school to go to the museums in downtown Monterrey, mostly the baseball museum attached to Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery. He was wearing a school uniform and no one said shit, but he had to stop after his uncle got on the same bus.
