15 more museum exhibits I would love to see

In November of 2023, I wrote "15 museum exhibits I would love to see"--but now I have more ideas!

  1. Will ICE Melt?: A history of immigration policies and their enforcement in the US
  2. Sick Chic: How being ill has be "in" from consumption to addiction and back again
  3. Let's Eat Babies: An examination of the history and relevance of satirical publications
  4. Me at the Zoo: YouTube's history from its first video onward
  5. Poisonous, Venomous, or Somehow Both?: You bite it, you die vs it bites you, you die vs any bite'll do the trick
  6. What's in a Name?: Naming regulations then and now for babies born in the US
  7. Hoarding vs Collecting: When is the accumulation of items a hoard and when is it a collection--and why does that distinction matter?
  8. Seven Bobcats? Yes! Six Rabbits? No!: Why and how exotic pet laws vary by US state--and why that matters
  9. A Raccoon Named Rebecca: The oddest and most loved US presidential pets
  10. If You Can't Make Your Own Serotonin, Store Bought is Fine: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors from theory to pill bottle
  11. ISO: The journey of personal ads from satire to patriotism to romance to obsolescence
  12. To the Left: Swiping on dating apps and the paradox of choice
  13. Suppression in the Name of Tolerance: The paradox of tolerance and how it has played out throughout history and recent years
  14. Only You: Smokey Bear's creation, impact, and future
  15. It's Chinese for 'Japan': An exploration of how tattoos in other languages have captured our imaginations, but may have missed the point

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
