I love this photo comparison:
And you can search other serious places and find pretty much the same response: Don’t use a frigging tampon to stop massive blood loss.
Because I am way tired of reading stories like this:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) -An investigation by Metro Police into reported sexual abuse of a Nashville teenager between 2017 and 2018 resulted in the arrest of two educators and a Metro police officer.
Police say that five-year MNPD veteran Corey Redd surrendered at the Downtown Detention Center Wednesday afternoon. He was charged with one count of sexual battery for the allegedly inappropriately touching a then 13-year-old.
Police say the boy spent the night at Reed’s home in December 2017. Reed’s bond is set at $100,000.
According to police, 30-year-old MarVelous Brown was the band director at Joelton Middle School and allowed the teen to spend the night at his home in 2017 multiple times. He’s been charged with one count of aggravated rape, three counts of statutory rape, two counts of sexual battery, and one count of solicitation of a minor.
Until recently, police say that Brown was the band director at Fisk University. He is not currently in police custody. Police say that 25-year-old Derek Calvon Hill Jr. was charged with one count of aggravated rape for the alleged sexual assault of the teenager in 2017.
Hill is a current high school teacher at Kipp Academy and was arrested at the school today. His bond is set at $100,000.

Have them go through the legal system and if found guilty and incarcerated, they should be sent to prison among the other convicts, no solitary confinement for their safety.
Whatever happens, happens and whomever makes it happen should get a reduction in sentence or at least commissary privileges.
Once word get out you diddle a minor, you are going to pay the piper inside prison, I believe incidents like this will drop some.
Let’s do it for the Children!
From Politico:
Inflation’s biting. Roe’s fraying. Dems are still trying to connect with voters.
Democrats in Congress are rolling out ways to tackle inflation. But they’re struggling on another front: Talking about it with the public.
Only after Rep. Katie Porter put bacon in her cart at her local grocery store recently did she notice that its price had spiked to $9.99 a pound. Reluctantly, she put the package back.
It was a dose of reality that Porter, a California progressive and single mother of three, has long understood. But she’s not sure all of her Democratic colleagues share her interest in connecting to average Americans’ experiences outside the Beltway.
When Porter gave an emotional speech about how inflation has been hitting her family for months during a private House Democratic Caucus meeting last week, she said it seemed like the first time the personal toll of high consumer prices had sunk in for some lawmakers in the room.
“Too often, Congress recognizes issues too late,” Porter, a top GOP target this fall in a swing district, said in an interview. “I had a colleague mention to me, ‘We’re not seeing it in the polls’ … Well, you don’t know what to ask.”
For Porter, the episode revealed how much work Democrats still need to do to assure voters they understand everyday anxieties, particularly inflation’s strain on family budgets. She’s not alone: Some Democrats have warned for months their party is falling short when it comes to communicating to an increasingly exasperated public.
But Biden also spent much of his time explaining the causes of inflation — using policy-heavy rhetoric that some Democrats who watched the speech compared to an economics lesson more than a political rallying cry. He echoed, as he did earlier this week at a private fundraiser in suburban Maryland, how little his administration can do to immediately fix the situation.
As one Democratic aide put it bleakly, on condition of anonymity: “If you’re explaining, you are losing.”
Inside the House Democratic Caucus, there’s been a concerted push for members to use the power of their own emotions and life experiences to galvanize support for policies in the Capitol. In February, for instance, Democrats took part in a session during the caucus’s messaging summit specifically around “storytelling” and “creating an authentic connection with voters,” featuring oral historian and StoryCorps founder, David Isay.
Let this sink in.
A Democrat Congresswoman discovered that inflation is terrible when it hits her right in the pocket book.
She tells her Democrat colleagues that their heads are too far up the Beltway polling asshole and that real people are having real problems.
They decide the problem isn’t that their policies are dog shit that are making things worse but that they are not communicating their strategy effectively enough.
“Yes, instead of curing your cancer we cut your arms and legs off, but you’re not understanding the message of how that’s actually better for you.”
These people are so fucking terrible at their jobs it boggles the mind.
The U.S. set another record for drug overdose deaths last year with more than 107,000 fatalities, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated Wednesday.
The provisional 2021 total represents a 15% jump from the previous record in 2020, and means there is roughly one overdose death in the country every 5 minutes.
While drugs like opioid painkillers, other opioids and heroin cause many deaths, fentanyl is the leading killer, causing 71,000 deaths last year, which was a 23% jump from the year before.
Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, called the latest numbers “truly staggering.”

Trespass the Capitol Building, raise your concern at a Parents-Teachers meeting and you become an Domestic Terrorist and a danger to the welfare of this nation needing the full powers of the Government to stop you.
Set billions of dollars in propertty and kill people in the process and you just are venting long overdue problems in a “mostly peaceful way” and charges get to be dropped.
Over 100,000 Americans are dead by drugs, but billions of taxpayers dollars were wasted in making sure people were masked to go pee at a public bathroom so they could be safe from a virus with a 98.5% chance of survival.
Crazy pills anyone?
I know gas prices are painful. My plan will help ease that pain today and safeguard against it tomorrow.
I'll continue to use every tool at my disposal to protect you from Putin’s price hike. And I’m calling on Congress to put aside partisanship. Let’s meet this moment together.

The Biden administration has canceled one of the most high-profile oil and gas lease opportunities pending before the Interior Department. The decision comes at a challenging political moment when gas prices are hitting painful new highs. https://t.co/9WzYVxEPYX
