I’ve been reading this book of manners and enjoying it very much! It is actually pretty progressive for its time.
It’s rare you see the scripts flipped like this isn’t it? So I ran with that. But poor old fellow, everyone deserves respect and should be allowed to wear what they like without abuse. Isn’t that right?
Here’s a little postscript for you, for our friend. An alternate ending, if you will.
The store is updated for the holidays! Including PONIES PONIES PONIES! I only really update the store once a year so there will be posts on that. A gal’s gotta make a livin’, eh!

Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.

I want Bryan Fuller to make a really amazing miniseries on Cinemax of the Vampire Chronicles/ Mayfair Witches that’s NC-17 and has all the gore and incest and necrophilia and everything in tact with the sultry artistic quality necessary for Southern Gothic literature

Seeing beneath the skin
It’s not always easy to find a vein under a patient’s skin, especially if they have a darker complexion. This device, called the VeinViewer, solves that problem with augmented reality.
First, the device scans a patient’s skin using infrared light. By capturing and processing the reflected radiation, it identifies the locations of blood vessels and projects a bright green light onto the surface to highlight the where they are.
The resolution can be set so high that even the valves within veins as small as 0.22mm across can be seen, making finding a site for an injection a little less painful. There’s also promise for its use in the treatment and diagnosis of varicose veins, and aid in transfusions and blood sampling.

Once we start calling people monsters, we start sacrificing our sense of curiosity, our obligation to ask how they became that way, and why they did what they did: life, and certainly fiction writing, is about being endlessly fascinated by the human condition–naming someone a monster is lazy; it allows you to stop thinking and questioning.

apanthropinization
(noun) A rare and ancient word in the English lexicon, apanthropinization is defined as the act of withdrawing oneself from the state of humanity and its inevitable turmoil and anxiety. Although, phonetically and aesthetically, the word is harsh, its meaning originated from a delicate urge: the primitive human need to lust in beauty, particularly the beauty of nature. Without a doubt apanthropinization possesses hermit-like behavior, but surfaces from instinct. One does not retreat because he/she is bitter, but rather retreats to the primal urge to admire and become captivated by beauty and symmetry. (via pushpulld)
