I bought linoleum and paper for printmaking at Hobby Lobby on Friday. Why were they even open? Stolen antiquities don't illegally purchase themselves. I also got a bandana. I'm not sure I can even make prints with what I have on hand but I can carve blocks. I've been mulling what to do because of this which is a good strategy for printmaking so whatever I guess

I also started to write a story about one of the many times I've been a gigantic dumbass but I'm pretty much at the first editing phase so I set it aside so I could watch videos and have mild panic symptoms over viruses and whatever the fuck has been happening in my apartment for six weeks or so

I did laugh at that.

Then I remembered that they gave millions of dollars to ISIS in the process.

Innocents once again suffer and die because of the actions of America's faithful.

I heard the logo was shit but the text of the first link seems appropriate

Quite surprised at the rigorous and honest representation of the science. That was completely unexpected from such an organization.

It's called 'getting ahead of the narrative'

They have learned from past mistakes.

Still... allowing for the primacy of science over good-feelings and woo-woo thinking is a slippery slope for institutions based on religion... this doesn't end well for them, regardless of the messaging on this specific issue.

Wait until someone tells them about the multiple authors of the books of the bible...
