Age of being Premature about Aging

“I think it’s premature at this stage to say that rapamycin is the drug you should take to reduce the negative effects of aging,” Volpi said.

Ideas for pandemic remembrance in US

The first week of March-- if possible, stay home, no or low purchasing, less car travel, a paid National Holiday, or Holi-week of rest for our part of the continent and all beings on it
A lockdown on our terms

Busts of people who perished during the pandemic gathered in their homelands, employ artists

Family, friends, neighbors can hold wake, touch the statue, bring flowers, picnic, mourn, grieve

Homemade paper with native flower seeds gifted to those who lost family members to Covid to write/draw thoughts, feelings, memories, share current life and leave on or around the bust

Tai chi or some type of collective movement (a concert?) in this memorial park

My mistake, it was discriminate killing

 The vehicles had a clearly visible WCK logo on their roofs so that the military would be aware the cars were full of aid workers. WCK said it was also in constant communication with Israeli military and civilian officials so that they were aware of the vehicles’ movements.

“It was a direct attack on clearly marked vehicles whose movements were known by the Israel Defense Forces,” Andrés wrote. “It was also the direct result of a policy that squeezed humanitarian aid to desperate levels.”

With WCK and some other aid groups suspending operations out of safety and Israel blocking entry into Gaza for the U.N. agency tasked with helping Palestinians, there is very little hope that remaining families in the enclave will have the resources to survive.

“I have been a stranger at Seder dinners. I have heard the ancient Passover stories about being a stranger in the land of Egypt, the commandment to remember ― with a feast before you ― that the children of Israel were once slaves,” Andrés wrote.

“It is not a sign of weakness to feed strangers; it is a sign of strength. The people of Israel need to remember, at this darkest hour, what strength truly looks like.”

Why would the US support a cease fire on children?

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.

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

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

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.
