Why would the US support a cease fire on children?

I'm exhausted with envy

Where the hell is my vision?  

My skill?

Oh well

Simple sideways egg head, simple lines, runny watercolor
Who cares?

You know, even the US Supreme Court can terrorize and hold a nation hostage.
Just do what you already want to do.
Nothing is real 
And nothing to get hung about

To reabsorb or shed an egg is murder

Every month a woman with a uterus is committing murder when she has her period.

A female baby is born with about a million eggs.  The first few million die in the womb, before the female human is born.  A female baby is murdering eggs left and right until puberty, that's about 11,000 a month.

Here is the break down of eggs in a female human lifespan:

In utero- 6-7 million
At birth- 1-2 million
Menarchy- 300,000-500,000
20s- 150,000-300,000
30s- around 27,000
40s- around 5000-10,000
In the year or so leading up to Menopause- around 1000

A woman will receive about 1 million sperm during intercourse, only one will fertilize the egg inside her.  The remaining spermatozoa will perish within the body of the female murderess.

If that fertilized egg gets to proceed to full, safe birth of a health baby--the female human is only partially golden.  She did her duty, but is still savagely laying waste to eggs and visitor sperm as time goes on.

Right now, a fertilized egg is considered a child in Alabama, USA.  A state that has a Romeo and Juliet law that provides a defense for consensual sexual acts with a minor as long as the victim (if it was consensual why use victim?) was at least 12 years old and the defendant was no more than 2 years older than the ..victim.  Is a 12 year old considered a child?
Please, let's have this state set precedent. We're taking crazy pills.

How long until an egg within a female human body will be considered a child?  

Would a spermatozoa be considered a child? 
Be careful human males, they could be coming for you too. Hahahahahah, as if.

Apparently we have to absorb murderous autocrats

So tired for you, dear Russian people
I'm glad hope never dies

I'm counting
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart

What needs have been
You'll realize
I've found myself
In bluer skies

I know belief
Is in your eyes
We can't believe
In blind light

Apparently we have to absorb gun violence

Unalienable rights are not self evident.  Unalienable rights CAN be taken away.

We shouldn't be surprised, though, even the people who wrote this, took unalienable rights away in the same breath.  

Life, Liberty (Freedom) and the Pursuit of Happiness....

There is no Independence.  We are all dependent on each other.

We are dependent on our fellow earthlings to not pick up a gun and shoot us.

Pleas, Pleas me

I don't wanna sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart (in my heart)
I do all the [pleading] with you, it's so hard to reason
With you, whoa, yeah
Why do you make me blue?  -Beatles

Black History Month theme is Art

 

Kara Walker, a contemporary, however the art depicts history

I am enjoying finding Black artists in a historical context.
I especially love seeing new visual arts to envy.

Groundhog day is every day

This comment sums it up--

New developments all the time. Trickled in details that change constantly. It's sad they died, but they all did drugs; obviously. That's how they met their demise. Three men in their 30's... come on. I miss the old days when the news was not so sensationalized, not every story had to be told, not every little thing reported on with little or no details. We are dying a slow death daily with social media. It's horrible. We can't get away from it. I fear for our future and for my two beautiful daughters who are so innocent in a far from innocent world. Can't get on the internet this past week without a search engine posting someone else died (a third removed cousin from a soap opera from 1980) just to get you to click it. Yep, I did too...

It was feast or famine That day plus a life of the same So we made a pact, we're moving back And moving back in time

Twiggy-a-go-go-me!

She comes in colours everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colours in the air
Oh, everywhere

She comes in colours 

Great idea

I think I might be a clown.

But which one?

From the Clown Wikipedia entry:

The most prevalent character clown in the American circus is the hobo, tramp or bum clown. There are subtle differences in the American character clown types. The primary differences among these clown types is attitude. According to American circus expert Hovey Burgess,^[where?] they are:

• The Hobo: Migratory and finds work where he travels. Down on his luck but maintains a positive attitude.
• The Tramp: Migratory and does not work where he travels. Down on his luck and depressed about his situation.
• The Bum: Non-migratory and non-working.

Idea comet

Government people are hired to do governance, not witch hunt.

White House BJ, Bengazi!, Hunter Biden laptop dad

I wonder if resources spent on stuff like this is a good use of taxpayers' money.
Should we give witch hunt a platform, though?
Do we like witch hunt?

Let's put it up for a vote.
Witch hunt or Witch hut?

Witch hut!

If government must do witch hunt, then it also MUST do governance.  
It's not an either/or.
For every witch hunt, there must be, at minimum, 50 acts of governance.
If witch hunt takes longer than 2 months, government officials conducting said witch hunt must cut their pay by 10% and 5% for every month afterward.

Do witch hunt shit on your own time.

Oh come all ye comet, joyful and triumphant

That's last year's Christmas comet, Leonard--he won't be back for another 6.5 years.
There is suppose to be a new Christmas comet coming on Christmas day!

You can either see it by looking towards the Leo constellation if you live in the Northern Hemisphere or not at all.
Quick research gave mixed results...

Yesterday, hours before dawn, I caught a glimpse of two shooting stars from the Geminid meteor shower!  
Just a lucky cosmic gift that I was up that early. ;)

Happiness and cheer

Thursdaytime is here

 

Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Christmas shopping on the square

The word that would best describe this feeling
Would be haunted

I touch the clothes you left behind
That still retain your shape and lines
Still haunted

I trace the outline of your eyes
We're in the mirror hypnotized
I'm haunted

I find a solitary hair
Gone and still I reminisce
I'm haunted

Haunted by your soul
Haunted by your hair
Haunted by your clothes

Potsdamer Platz, Kirchner

And this is for the tears that won't dry

And this is for a bright blue sky
And this is for when you feel
Lucky

What is on a list of war goals?
Peace on earth?

Healing tools

Healing tools include the deft use of suggestion, confession, memory, ritual and medicines. Healers find ways to provide consolation and hope, enabling their wounded charges to engage with meaningful work and find purpose in life.

And also Happy December! 

From a December 13, 2017, Melissa Chan, Time article:
