I'm amazed that those pupils - plus all the times he's obviously on "downers" - hardly ever gets a mention in the public discourse.

It astonishes me that enough air force officers were ok with this that it's gone through.

They should if necessary go into hibernation, furlough everybody. There's no point in existing as a hiher education institution at the mercy of such a regime.

.... Aren't there very strict laws about the handling of human remains? So much so that a woman who miscarried relatively late in her pregnancy, was recently criminally prosecuted...? (I think that was Texas...?)

It's also dairy and gelatine, so believe me, this makes life difficult. My spouse has it, and was down to 45kg before we understood what the problem was.

Oh, goodness, that's a bummer. You have my sincere sympathy โค๏ธ I often see this occur after an episode of acute illness or injury - not necessarily serious - I suppose it shows how delicately balanced our bodies are. An older adult has fewer reserves than a 25 yr old.

For me, it's not being deported that's the fear - it's being thrown into a for-profit prison, or ICE camp, for weeks. The Guardian has reported on specific cases: Germans, Canadians, a young Brit who was actually on her way to Canada!

Great minithread! It occurred to me a while back - in a convo about housewives' pinnies, as in the one Hilda Ogden wore - that "pinnie" must be derived from "pinafore". What do you think?
