I think it's a pretty hot picture actually. my current one (as per our agreement) is a pandemic artifact, and that's Daisy and, of course, me with my Daisy mask. and I know cloth masks don't work, but I only bought it for the goof.

I might even post my yearbook picture, which is a lot more humiliating than anyone can imagine, including me.

I love the Daisy mask! I think you should post your yearbook picture. I doubt it’s that humiliating. I was hesitant to post mine, but was compelled to do it when I posted a story from my teenage years that I have never shared publicly. It was on Lucian Truscott’s substack several days ago about the South Carolina Legislature trying to pass a law that would allow the death penalty for women who have had an abortion. It’s a difficult story and I’ve kept it private, but this death penalty thing got to me and I had to say something. Here is the link:

Thank you for sharing your story, Karen. That wasn’t just health care, that was Life care. Hugs to that 16-year-old girl (and her momma).
