This article is full of gems.

The lawsuit cites, among other things, a now-expired social media post by one of the defendants captioned “Guess what we are doing? Ordering abortion pills undercover? Yep. Stay tuned.”

Haha idiots.

The lawsuit does not specify how the defendants violated HB 7. While the law does not explicitly bar the ordering of abortion medication, it does prohibit the transport of the drug within the state.

“What the statute says is that transporting abortion drugs from one location to another within the state is a violation of HB 7 … By the plain language of the statute, this would seem to be a violation,” Puerto’s attorney Molly Duane told The Texas Tribune. “This is the problem with writing such a confusing and vague law.”

They were warned, and they’ve created this situation for themselves.

While pregnant women cannot be prosecuted under HB 7 for actions taken to have an abortion, none of the four defendants — Kristan Mercer Hawkins, Lydia Taylor Davis, Jamie Curry and Megan Roos — were pregnant at the time, according to the lawsuit.

It seems their only way out of this would be to claim they were pregnant and ordered the pills for themselves – which would open another can of worms for them, though that can wouldn’t cost them half a million dollars. Wonder if they’ll try that?

If she wins the lawsuit, Puerto would be entitled to $10,000 of the award, as she has no connection to the defendants. According to a Tuesday statement by Abortion in America, she plans to give the remaining award to Jane’s Due Process, a nonprofit that helps young Texans confidentially access abortion and birth control.

Nice. Nearly 1/2 million dollars for the defendant’s opposition charity if plaintiff wins. I hope she wins.

This seems pretty cut and dry, given they posted what they were doing at the time.

Uh, in the pocket of billionaires? Have we been listening at all?

I appreciate your theory, but I don’t think trump found out anything or would remotely care. He’s so dementia addled, this guy’s execution was no more than jangly keys for a moment, and he couldn’t even tell you the guy’s name. He doesn’t even know the guy is in a wheelchair, because that would require more than a fleeting glance at what’s going on.

Ask him later today and he’ll have forgot this guy exists at all. It’s some dude who doesn’t matter at all because he’s not an investor or his daughter. Trump’s brain is literally Swiss cheese at this point. The people around him may be oppressing the disabled, but trump can’t because he’s forgot they exist at all.

Felt will make the pumpkin turn faster, since they don’t like clothes.

For real, though, plants need to breathe, and they breathe through their skin – if you block their pores with glue and fabric, they’ll go off faster.

Paints aren’t as bad, though they’ll also block the pumpkin’s ability to exchange the gasses (ethylenes) that need to escape. Ethylenes cause decomposition if the plant has to stew in them. If ethylenes are trapped, the veg will turn much faster. This is why you can buy ethylene exchanging bags and containers to keep your produce fresh longer in your fridge. Some produce sections sell veg in special green ethylene bags meant to facilitate this gas exchange.

The only reliable way to keep seeds and pulps from turning is to gut the pumpkin before decorating it and either roast or preserve the seeds.

Aw, thanks! Yeah, cubbies are the best, especially when you think you’re not supposed to be there.

except when he doesn’t want to do something

Haha, they’re so fun. Emma learnt some sign language (basic things like food, no, down, pretty girl, etc) and would physically turn her back to me if she didn’t want to listen.

e: I loved your poem, btw.

This is why public uproar matters right now, more than in many times. Congress holds the purse strings, and they’re scared of losing their cushy jobs with high pay, retirement, the best healthcare, and other perks. They’re listening, not out of a sense of duty, but existential fear.

e: Don’t let .ml users tell you there’s no point and there’s nothing you can do, btw. If it was hopeless, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to demoralise you. Pay attention to the instance and don’t glorify them with engagement; they’re out in force right now.

Sativa and hybrids do that to me, but Indica doesn’t. Not sure why. My brain likes Indica and hates sativa strains. Just have to be careful which strains ya do.

Don’t mistake this for trump actually caring, either. He’d love for this to happen, and was probably salivating at the thought of trump media ad revenue, and how he could filter all pay per view money directly into his pockets.

This is only getting walked back because the weasels in congress are legitimately terrified of public opinion right now, since trump is sinking their ship. This is just the GOP frantically bailing against the tide, not because trump himself cares or even acknowledges anything other than his own desires.

Good. Heckle him so relentlessly that he can never get a booking again. Make him persona non grata, he deserves no less for all the horrible he’s been throughout the decades.

This. My dad is also Silent Generation and my sister and I discovered one day in the 70s whilst snooping that my parents were hiding their weed from us.

e: oh, also if you could ‘fool’ a wwii vet/survivor during the 70s by saying a weed smell was ‘American cigarettes’, he was definitely ‘fooling’ you. XD

No honour amongst thieves. Everyone is expendable, and especially if you’re not a young blonde who looks suspiciously like his daughter when she was 14.

Yeah. That actually boosted my faith in humanity somewhat, for the first time in years.

Christians certainly do. They put his method of execution on all their jewellery and art and stuff. Imagine if he’d been hanged or guillotined or shot? Imagine a bunch of Christians wandering around with gun pins and badges. People might get the impression they’re pro-violence or something. Wouldn’t that be crazy?

Oh man, are we back to Reefer Madness? I guess everything old is new again. And now I’m hungry for a fried egg.

Where’s the shock?

He’s beautiful. Does he have heterochromia? Looks like just his left eye is blue. Is he deaf? Looks just like my old girl, Emma. Her favourite place was always on the darkest piece of clothing I owned.

Roast the seeds on a baking sheet and they’ll keep, or refrigerate them if you don’t want to eat them right away. At least then you can see whether they’re going off, rather than just trusting the pumpkin doesn’t start rotting on the inside where it’s not visible before you get round to using them.

Just gut Jack and preserve his innards first, it’s safer.

To teach, you must be willing to let others do it poorly.

This part is far more difficult than it sounds.

This one is stellar.
