PLASTERof PAradISe. It was one of the first websites I came across accidentally back in about 1995, I just checked and it still exists (on Geocities!) It’s a fetish site with links to every instance of movies, shows, books etc. with people wearing full body, arm and leg casts. I remember it even had episodes of the Simpsons where casts were depicted. “To each his own”, I guess!

‘You are my Sunshine’

My ‘favorite’ silly Trump bit was when asked about the environment, clean air, water, etc., he said “we had H2O”. Wow sounds so science-ey!? 🙄 (It was like a Ralph Wiggum ‘I’m learnding’ moment)

Nah. Association of Medical Illustrators

I have a Masters in Medical Art. (late 1980s) 35 years ago some were saying ‘we won’t need medical artists because of photography’ and then a few years later ‘because of personal computers’. This isn’t the case. But when the general public has access to a tool they love to talk about how a discipline is going away because ‘now anyone can do it’.

This is only the beginning with this guy. I’m not going to list any of it, but he said some absolutely awful things about many women, including Michelle Obama, Hilary Clinton, Oprah, Taylor Swift, AOC, Pelosi, and at least 15 other public figures. 😳

It goes back even further. Look up Frederick Ludwick Hoffman. 3 US Presidents proposed a national healthcare system. The answer was “no”. There are racist roots to why we don’t have healthcare for all.

I know you were probably joking, but as a PSA I will add that you NEVER dip any ‘bits’ or any body part in plaster in a closed, rigid container! 😬 A mold should be made with alginate, silicone, or other resilient material. The plaster is what would be poured into the mold afterwards, to make a casting. thanks.

To me he always looks like one of those old, colorized photos, or maybe a ventriloquist dummy. Maybe it’s the rosy cheeks, I dunno.

Let the eagle soar!

Yes- people are constantly worrying about the wrong things. Maybe they should be wary of lighting, because there are much greater chance of harm there than vaccine reaction (somewhere between 12-53 per million doses) and airline crashes (chance is .090 per million, or 1 in 11 million).
