Looking for a unique name for your baby or pet? Don't like them very much? Look no further than Philadelphia's tax lists in the 1760s and 1770s.

Among these names are Yort Ebert, Marmaduke Owner, and Bodo Otto.

A much too long thread...

Oregon is the first state to make health care a constitutional right.
Voters passed Ballot Measure 111, giving every Oregonian a right to "cost-effective, clinically appropriate and affordable health care."
This is how Canada's national system started--with just one province. Don't say it can't be done!

So, I'm 90% sure I"m going to go with an Android phone of some kind. I had to ditch my S21+ today because it just won't hold a charge for more than an hour or so. So I'm using the iPhone I have on hand. It will give me a good test to see if I want to go back to iOS and the Apple Watch. What do y'all use?

I spent about a month going back to this place... during the day, through the night - practicing and waiting for the Milky Way to align.

It was worth it.

Surely this can't be true... #AdventOfCode as a virus scanner?

Pyramid Of Eyes
© Surazeus
2016 10 15

When the handless clown steals your secret eyes,
and leaves you wandering blind on market street,
will you wear your scarlet Superman cape
and fly to heaven with eagles and jets?
We gather on the pyramid of eyes
to feast on the lost dreams of conquered tribes.

Whole Poem:

Last chance, fill in this consultation on trans healthcare as the NHS is trying to harm trans kids even more.

They're proposal say that kids shouldn't be allowed to wear skirts without a dr's approval and even pretends that trans people are not protected by the equality act! Outrageous from a medical document.

Things were simpler in ancient times. If you saw a cool bird, you could tell that story for weeks

One thing I appreciate as a relatively poor person is people putting gently used items on their lawns/front of driveways for an organic redistribution of small and randomly useful items.

Last week I found 4 large-sized plain white plates that perfectly match the 4 plain white bowls I found elsewhere a month or so back, and yesterday I scored a really nice little ceramic teapot just the right size to hold a couple of cups of tea worth of liquid.

I find street gifts incredibly cheering.
