Attack on Women's (AKA Human) Rights Concerning You?

The sudden attack on women in the US is a bit disconcerting, to be sure. One wonders why the GOP has decided to attack more than half the US population by abusing their power right before an election... Whatever their reasons, many are understandably wanting to find a way to help.

Below the apt cartoon are two sites that may be of interest to you. The first is a great post reminding the GOP that it doesn't just take a woman to get pregnant. These issues that have been under such scrutiny lately are HUMAN issues... The second is a wonderful resource for people who want to get involved.

Even the conservatives are tweeting their disappointment in the GOP Suicide

It can be interesting to take a peek at what the conservatives are saying about their "representatives." My boy, Ian, highlights the tweeted reactions to the SC GOP debate last night:

This is What Chicken Nuggets Look Like Before They're Turned Into "Food"



Actually, all processed chicken looks like this. This is just wrong.


Can You Guess What McDonald’s Food Item This Is? Say hello to mechanically separated chicken.

It’s what all fast-food chicken is made – things like chicken nuggets and patties. In addition, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it. Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve — bones, eyes, guts, and all. It comes out looking like this. There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Finally, since it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color. People still eat this and feed it to their children!

An Analysis of the Strauss's "Beim Schlafengehen" from his "Four Last Songs"



If you don't have any knowledge of music theory, you might want to skip this one. :)

Beim Schlafengehen ("Going to Sleep"), the third installment in the collection "Four Last Songs" by Richard Strauss, is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful pieces in existence. The extensive chromaticism Strauss utilizes with utter precision and care tugs your heart-strings hither and yon at just the right times. In Strauss's world, key areas are colors that paint poetry with breathtaking vibrance onto the canvas of your very soul.
