The order of the colored limes is a bit confusing so let's look at them in order from the bottom to the top. The bottom line of square yellow dots shows the suicide death rates by firearms in the Democratic voting states by age as you follow that line you get the firearm suicide rates by age from age nine through age 84. The age group 85+ is excluded because it is hard to interpret because nobody lives through it. The pattern is generally followed by each of the groups, from age 9 through 22 the firearm suicide rate goes up. Then it sharply shifts to nearly level line that slightly increases up to age 55 when all but Democratic firearm suicides decline until about age 70 when the rate slightly more than doubles at the end. Next, let's do the line of green diamonds, the total Democratic voting states, their being lower at the right end actually makes them lower than the Republican voting states firearm suicides. They follow the same pattern as the Democrats by firearms except they decline from age 55 to about 70. Then they increase like the others but at a less steep rate in increase. Next to the top is the Republican's suicides by firearms. They follow the Democratic voting states almost exactly to age 20 then they edge down to bouncing between two and three points below the Democrats total until age 65 when they exhibit the steepest increase in the final years. The last line is the red diamonds for the Republican total which is consistently the highest. They follow the pattern of the total Democrat line of dots but generally get closer to the total Democratic line at the end. Here are the two letter abbreviations for states: Dem Mix Rep CA AZ AL CO GA AK CT IA AR DE MI FL DC MN ID HI NH IN IL NC KS ME OH KY MD PA LA MA TX MS NV WI MO NJ MT NM NE NY ND OR OK RI SC VT SD VA TN WA UT WV WY

Here I display single year age total and by firearm suicide death rates by single year age up to age 84 for Democratic and Republican voting states. |See text for more information. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology #Population #Republican #Democratic

Have you ever smelled a used book and just known that the person who owned it last really enjoyed it?

Samuel L Jackson said this Two
Years ago........

When public health is doing its job, it’s invisible.

A screenshot of a post on X by user Suzie Rizzo (@SUZIERIZZO1 ). The post includes a text graphic with an orange background and black text that reads: "WHEN did America become a place where people take joy in suffering? Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified schoolchildren, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance—what happened to basic human decency?" Above the graphic, Suzie Rizzo's comment reads: "Anyone want to answer this??? "

This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

Two words. STATE TV

I just want to ask a lot of these guys. Why are you yelling?? Like why are you so angry all the time?? It must be exhausting.

Thankful for Twilight because it allowed Paramore to give us Decode.

Saw a dude wearing shorts yesterday up here in MN. It was -7 at the time…

And the sad thing is I don’t think he cares about anything or anyone aside from “bank account # go up”. He has a hoarding problem…a money hoarding problem.

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID

"The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people."

Well done.

Weak men break things, instead of building things. It is a lot easier, and it makes them feel strong

My only critique of the super bowl halftime show was Serena Williams not getting nearly enough screentime

The etsy witch curses really put in the work on KC tonight huh

I feel like we remove power from amazon by NOT TALKING ABOUT AMAZON.
Mention the library. Mention the indie bookseller. Mention the direct stores.
LINK to the publisher or the direct store or the author website.

You don’t even have to bring up Amazon or link to them.

Started a self portrait, which I have not done in years! Not bad for someone who only gets to draw a few times a week…

I hate to break to Trump but Two-Spirit (trans) people have existed here in North America for thousands of years. They predate the arrival of white people and their “Christianity.” Trans people will be here long after Trump is dead and gone.
