@stux " " "While not on the level of wearing Native American-inspired costumes for Halloween, […] still a form of cultural appropriation […] "This lack of understanding is the most offensive part […] By knowingly or unknowingly misusing what little culture many Indigenous people have, you are in fact disrespecting what is left of it.""

"the typical adult human body consists of about 30 trillion human cells & about 38 trillion bacteria." (2016 estimate, to correct a factoid)Human bit is 84% red blood cell by count (LOTS but tiny); 75% fat & muscle by mass (they're few 0.2%).Bacteria count (also tiny) is comparable to ALL human cells combined (B=3.8*10^13 to H=3.0*10^13). W/o reds, just human cells with a nucleus (0.3*10^13), it's 10:1.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4991899/"who even cares about cell numbers?"https://archive.is/9RcE4

@futurebird Peppermint? No, yuck. Chewy? Ew.Cracker Barrel sells straight "candy sticks" of other flavors year-round, with different colors, bright & spiraling. IIRC cinnamon sticks tasted alright 20 years ago. Though sucking lasted longer than my interest in the flavor. And crunching to finish it off was unpleasant. I wasn't keen on candy in general.Bend a stick during production, and it's a cane.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stick_candy

@Nonilex John Abernathy on bsky: "I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye."https://bsky.app/profile/anotherjon.bsky.social/post/3mcmzzjrjyc2uIn WW2, the company famously "transferred" Jewish employees to their offices outside of Germany, gave them a camera & a new job.
