My husband was dead set on voting for Trump until his recent covid diagnosis and his insane reaction to it. For him it was the very last straw. He said he can no longer ignore the insanity that is tRump. There's a lot more who are switching their votes than you're aware of too.

You want to talk intrusive? Telling me what I can and can't do with my own vagina is intrusive! If they want to get all up in my very private and personal business, then it only stands to reason I should repay the favor.

TIL that many of the benthic ctenophores have cydippid larva (like little Pleurobrachia) if they are reproducing sexually 🤯
