I love the iridescent effect! The geometric design makes me think of some far future sci fi, like Foundation or Dune.

Relevant Smithsonian article.

I’d probably skip on the animal fat and bitumen, but cedar, juniper, and cypress all smell pretty good.

Apparently the scent could also vary slightly depending on who was being embalmed.

I like Dime Store Adventures for history trivia and exploration, mostly USA focused.

Fruit bats. Just no ebola, please.

I think the states would have to agree to it first, wouldn’t they? Congress can’t unilaterally modify the Constitution (thank Christ).

It’s a tweet, but please don’t let that stop you from getting mad about it.

DOGE staffer known as 'Big Balls' reportedly the grandkid of a KGB spy in c/politics@lemmy.world

He looks like a half dressed toddler. Nice of him to give everyone an immediate visual cue for what they’re about to deal with, I guess.

Allegedly Elon’s chest shape is what happens when you take HGH and don’t exercise. Not a doctor or a bodybuilder so I can’t say whether that’s true, but if the shoe fits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The joys of being just a cute pup... in c/aww@lemmy.world

Oh, what a cutie! He looks a lot like a dog my family had that was super sweet and acted like a cat because he grew up around them.

Nearly One in 10 U.S. Adults Identifies as L.G.B.T.Q., Survey Finds in c/news@lemmy.world

Sorry if I was short about it or jumped the gun; I’ve seen more people than I like blaming Trump being elected on their favored punching bag, while ignoring the bigoted elephant in the room.

The twisted thing is, even the full throated, Nazi-saluting racists are going to get hurt by this administration. Nobody benefits from measles making a comeback or people dying from lack of abortion access, and health problems don’t care how you voted.

I asked because, that 13% combined with those who didn't vote at all might have been the difference between being persecuted or not by the current administration.

13% of 10% of the population, if every single queer person voted, is 1.3% of the total population. Blaming 1.3% of the population for being oppressed by the majority that voted for oppressing them is at best a waste of time.

84% of Trump’s votes came from white people; if 5% of them were less shitty we wouldn’t be going through this. But somehow this societal conversation always comes back to minorities not voting correctly or not voting enough, instead of talking about white America’s racism problem.

HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit Game Bundle - $25 for 30 games (itch.io)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21904554

Trans Rights are under assault all across the United States as the new administration continues a brutal project of oppression, exclusion, and denial of care to people everywhere.

Distribute Aid is developing a network of supply chains, medical aid, distribution partners and kit development across 11 states that aims to provide direct care and medical support to thousands of trans people, with the goal of scaling up to cover the rest of the country during 2025.

100% of the proceeds of this bundle go directly toward Distribute Aid's efforts to supply kits of 1 year's necessary medical equipment into the hands of trans people in needs for free.

Each kit comes with a sharps container and enough syringes, needles, bandages, and alcohol wipes to last a year. For people living in states where it’s difficult to access syringes and needles, this will help reduce needle reusing and sharing.

If you aren’t interested in the games and prefer to donate to the campaign directly, you can do that here.
