I just picked up some "Top of the Morning" coffee and it's pricey, but the marketing is very cheerful and it ticks the "ethically sourced" boxes for me, as much as anything I buy online can. Plus, it's tasty.
Not having to wait 45 business days to get your out-of-network claims reimbursed just for your insurance to tell you they never got the claim and please resubmit. Which I've done. At the end of September it will be another 45 business days. This is for a weekly therapy that I expect to be covered 80% because it's out of network but maybe it isn't because fuck me and I won't know until I've been going for at least 15 weeks.
Chat, what's with these two?
Makes sense. I don't order pork but if something comes with surprise bacon I'll eat it--the pig is already dead. And I'll be angry at Applebee's for adding unlisted bacon to their macaroni and cheese. (Seriously, you have no vegetation options and when I try the "make a meal out of sides" trick you add betrayal bacon? I'm glad millennials are killing Applebee's.)
This also protects the kids from vaccines. Don't want them catching the autism! /s
I appreciate Taco Bell for their options that aren't centered around meat, and making those options easy to find. And sometimes I just want a cheap, fast, filling lunch.
(Caveat: I've not done research to find out if their beans have beef broth or some silliness. I eat low-meat, not no-meat.)
All of y'all suckers walking around being “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble." (Bible, Job 14:1) and I'm like Shakespeare's MacDuff, circumventing prophecy by being born cesarean and... um.... not being full of trouble?
And my brother was adopted, so he was dropped off on our doorstep and we fostered him for a few years prior to adoption. So, extrapolating from my rigorous sample size of 2, no one was vaginally birthed by their mother.
My health insurance gives me a discount if I perform a set of preventative-maintenance tasks. They want me to get a pap smear every 3 years, so I guess that's the standard "how often to see a gyno if you have no health concerns regarding gyno issues" schedule.
Edit: I also have a regular doctor I'm meant to see every year.
Some people are just super sheltered and it's ok to be part of the lucky ten thousand.
The first time my brother encountered a black person IRL he asked my mother "what's wrong with his skin?" She didn't yell at him for his ignorance. She apologized to the man in front of them in line at the grocery store, then explained that skin comes in more colors than "white". Now, he was like 6 at the time. But still. He was part of the lucky ten thousand that day.
I'd also want to see if the adopter has a history of not staying out of jail for more than 6 months at a time. For example: my brother has been arrested at least 21 times over the last 15 years. I don't think his home-life is stable enough to support a pet.
Now, if, say, his roommate wanted a dog, my brother's bullshit shouldn't keep the roommate from getting a pup.
I started it to keep my hands occupied during a class. I love the simple 2-color pattern. I picked the kit up from Stitched Modern.
Woodblock print of a grumpy-faced man in a tunic shoving a lion in the face. The lion's head is turned towards the viewer and he has a goofy look on his face. His tail is held high. The man holds a club in his left hand. Surrounding the lion and man is a tree, an embankment, and foliage.

I post a lot of pre-modern-era art from European artists. So, I thought I'd mix it up a bit with this work by Inuit artist Jessie Oonark.
Image description: Work is on paper. Forms are defined by bold swatches of color. The main figure is a side profile of the green head of a wolf, with brown eye and an open mouth filled with point black teeth. In the mouth of the wolf is a man. His purple-brown legs stick out of the wolf's mouth. His torso is visible through the wolf's mouth as a white man-shape. A smaller animal's head--maybe another wolf-- is defined by an orange outline. The orange animal has its nose touching the throat of the green wolf. Its teeth are also showing. Below the artwork is the title, caption, and signature of the artist.

Image description: a white-haired man in a blue coat with stars on it and red/white striped pants (Uncle Sam) looks inside a horse's mouth while a man in a white coat looks on. The white coat man is labeled Aldritch. The horse is labeled "Central Bank". The horse's teeth are labeled "Wall Street Interests".

Image Description: a man with a very large, dark moustache stands in a cage surrounded by 3 lions and 2 tigers. The man stares straight at the viewer. The man wears what looks like plate mail on his torso, with fancy gold shoulder thingies, red sleaves, a short red skirt, white tights, and fancy bejeweled boots. His hat is red with a blue feather. The big cats are all in fierce poses. A maned lion stands with his paws on the man's shoulder. The man holds open the other maned lion's mouth.

“When It Comes to the Lion, Business Between Ben and Jim, It’s Nip and Tuck”. Political cartoon. Thomas Nast. 1884.

Image description: etched political cartoon. A lion is on a wheeled pedestal labeled "British". A man in a suit and befeathered top hat twists the lion's tail. A bald man in a suit twists its head. The lion's mouth is open. Behind the men and lion is a storefront labeled "furs". A man watched open-mouthed through the window. Next to the cartoon is a colored registry thingy, for calibrating colors.
A detailed explanation of the cartoon is at HarpWeek (and TBH their image of the cartoon is clearer than the one I uploaded. I chose the LOC one because the permissions were clearer). In summary: In American politics, the Republican presidential nominee and the Greenback-Labor nominee were both critical of Great Britain (represented by the lion).

Image description: woodblock carved into the form of the Biblical Samson holding open a lion's mouth. The carving is fine and the wood is dark with the ink used in printmaking.
This is the woodblock used to make prints similar to the one previously posted, https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/892435 .
