Without them, I would once again be dead of childbed fever (after having died of the same at three different points with Chomp’s birth).
Antibiotics are incredible. /end

Roman Republican denarius showing citizens voting. One toga-clad citizen drops his voting tablet in the ballot box, while behind him another voter receives his tablet from an attendant below. Voters crossed elevated walkways or 'pontes' above their fellow citizens in order to reach the ballot box, so all could see that they had voted without any last-minute intimidation or interference by others.
To safeguard the integrity of elections, in 119 BC, the tribune Gaius Marius further narrowed the pons causeway leading to the ballot box, in order to prevent any non-voters from standing on the gangway and engaging in bribery or intimidation; literally, to ensure that there was 'no room' for interference.

In this clever marginal illustration, the medieval artist has created the illusion of a piece of rope driven through the page and attached on the other side, to support an added line of text.

mainly because I know what Halloween is about and I do not fuck with the fae, but if that means that a bunch of teenagers get free candy then more power to them

A billionaire blatantly breaking election laws to get his preferred candidate into power is the sort of crime that law enforcement should address immediately, rather than giving it a chance to work first and prosecuting only if it fails.

@Staley4NCSenate Persimmons are a great fall fruit for in-between subtropical places that are too hot for apples, but too cool for citrus.

Some varieties lose their leaves but keep the fruit on the tree. They end up looking like spooky bare fall trees with little pumpkins all over them 🎃

These were the machines used to process rapid tests. We needed these at our hospitals in NYC. Holy shit.

At 15, I had a day off school every cycle due to my period pain. My GP told me I had a low pain threshold.
12 yrs of suffering later, I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis.
Let’s not dismiss period pain any more, when time to diagnosis for endometriosis is on av 8 years!

Breaking NYT:

Trump has spoken with Vladimir Putin as many as seven times since leaving office — even as he was pressuring Republicans to block military aid to Ukraine.

Trump also secretly sent Putin COVID tests — when they were rare and hard to get — while in office.

Putin said to Trump at the time: "I don't want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me." https://t.co/d2QIKVGOCp
