The Salvador Dali one for Inception is stunning.
* I've been noticing something funny about the skin in a patch up where my hairline's been receding. Today, I went and got a good look when I was thinking of it. I'm still queasy half an hour later as I type this. I'm pretty sure I know what it is, being a common co-morbidity with AS. Fuckfuckfuck! Good thing we rescheduled the rheumatologist appointment. Unfortunately, if it is what I think it is, really all we can do for it is for me to go back on the humira and I haven't been healthy enough for that since last spring. How many more of them are hiding up under my hair? *shudder*
* I am so sick of my body devouring itself.
* Re: The anti-women legislation the Republicans have been floating: It is one thing to be willing to die for one's own religion; it is another thing entirely to demand others die for it, regardless of their beliefs.
* Egypt's already trying to lure the tourists back.

And yet we are told we don't need Unions. After all, what did they give us besides the weekend, the eight hour day, safer working conditions, better pay and benefits, and end to child labour, fire exits, etc., etc....

"In the run-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, violence broke out in Xinjiang amidst increasing Beijing-directed cultural change in the region: standardizing the local education system on the Beijing model; changing the language of instruction from Uighur to Mandarin; replacing Uighur teachers with Han Chinese ones; organizing public burnings of Uighur books; and prohibiting traditional Uighur customs such as religious weddings, burials and pilgrimages to tombs of local saints.
