no such thing as wasting your 20s your 20s are for recovering from whatever the fuck happened to you as a kid so that youre ready to get weird with it in your 30s
Congratulations to Kentucky state senator Dr. Karen Berg for taking her ignorant Republican colleagues out to the proverbial woodshed and whipping their old white male asses with facts and logic. Shame on them and more power to her, science, and women’s choice over their own bodies and lives.
[VD: A video in a courtroom. Dr. Karen Berg is sitting behind a microphone and talking to the other senators. At the bottom of the screen it says, “Discussion of SB 321 (Sen.Wise) An Act Relating to Abortion”. Dr. Berg says:
Explain my no vote. (Another voice says, “Yes m'am.”) [Heavy sigh] You know, I’m a diagnostic radiologist. And diagnostic radiologists, historically and in many places in this state, still do all of the first trimester OB ultrasound. So I am extraordinarily, personally familiar with the devopment of a fetus in the womb. And for you to sit here and say that at 15 weeks, a fetus has a functional heart; a four-chamber heart that can survive on its own, is fallacious. That is not true. There is no viability. You know, I look around at my colleagues on this committee. I am the only woman on this podium right now. I am the only physician sitting on this podium. This bill is a medical sham. It does not follow medicine. It does not even purport to listen to medicine. And for each and every one of my colleagues to be so willing to cast an aye vote, when what you are doing is putting your finger; putting your knee; putting your- a gun to women’s heads. You are killing women because abortion will continue. Women will continue to have efficacy over their own body, whether or not you make it legal. I vote no and I really, really apologize to the people in Kentucky that we are spending this much time and this much energy when we have families in poverty. We have single women heading households in poverty at a higher rate than any other group in the state. And you all are not addressing that. You all are making it worse. Thank you.

Unsurprisingly, she’s also the only Jewish member of the Kentucky state senate.
It DOES mean precise…. but in a somewhat reverent and mysterious way.
JingMi is opening up the back of a centuries old pocket watch and partaking in the secret world of well-oiled gears and cogs, polished to miniature perfection by a nameless craftsman generations ago, without the benefit of modern tools.
JingMi is the structure of the eye, bending, absorbing, and redirecting light in a mysterious miracle of physics and flesh. Light bent, refracted and manipulated by millions of years of death-honed perfection, in a system efficient and endlessly complex.
It’s THAT kind of precision…. It’s appreciating the exquisite synchrony of a world hidden in an everyday object, be it the polished inner spring of handmade pocket watch or the delicate system of airsacs in the body of a bird.
It’s not the precision of a winning dart throw…. it’s awe inspired silence when faced with a great mysterious precision, and understanding the full weight of what it took to get there.
I cant really think of an English word that encompasses this feeling. But it describes Anatomy to a T.
