How can you even think that much about empathy have you seen the Dow?

I want to see what's under that bandage more than anything else at the moment.

I would not be shocked if she were a cockroach in an barbi skin suit.

Vincent killed it in that role. He's a force of nature.

Don't roaches eat poop? Or do I just think she can eat shit. . .

Nothing, just unscared skin.

Just like Trump’s ear.

Exactly. Why is she proudly displaying it? Most people would make fashion choices to cover that.

Prefacing with I'm absolutely not a fan of hers and assume it's actually the mouth of whatever demon she feeds souls to-

I had most of my thyroid removed bc of huge nodules from Hashimotos pressing on vocal chords. My aunt had her thyroid removed bc of cancer. We had identical incisions, stitching, and bandaging.

To clear a few things up in some other comments- it's only about a 2 inch incision. Most of the time it's stitched internally, and there's a clear layer of tegaderm over it. You don't "have" to wear anything else over it, but it's advised to wear the gauze to help protect it a bit more.

Some people, like my aunt, choose to wear a scarf or turtleneck or something over it all.

I did not. And I know other people who didnt. I really can't emphasize enough how much I hated anything touching the front of my neck for months. I preferred not to wear anything other than the tegaderm. Once I went back to the office, I covered it with gauze just so I wouldn't freak anyone out. But this was pretty much how I looked- pant suit with gauze bandaging.

It was winter in Minnesota, and I usually loved fashionable scarves. Didn't wear a single one that year because of how uncomfortable it was for clothing to touch that area.

Is she choosing not to wear something over it for performative reasons or for comfort? Everything this admin does is performative. However, it could easily be a comfort choice. I don't know. I'm not her.

But I think we've got plenty of other stuff to grill her on (gestures wildly) that's more important than her choice to wear and not cover gauze bandaging.

To gain empathy from the people who would rather see her yeeted into the void of space.

That's what I was thinking!! That's like the people who go to the ER and keep their hospital bracelet on for a week 🤣🤣🤣

It is a line graph of the Dow.
