Kirsten Larson - Semi-Complete Costume Collection
Kirsten's outfits were interesting– her Work Dress in her collection is green like the one in the books, but has different sleeves and lacks her red stripes. I also included her original On the Trail outfit from when it was in AG Magazine.
American Girl Costume Collections, 6/?
I started treating this stain on June 30th. It's July 24th and it *has. not. budged.*
I know pink stains can take a while but I'm thinking I'm gonna give it another week and then Josefina can just have a pink birthmark on her cheek because a month is ridiculous, I'm sorry. And she's a first edition so I can't just chuck her at the doll hospital for a new head.
In other news, I am shopping around for doll clothes patterns for Singing Bird, Lars, and Peter. I think I've landed on some suitable options. I don't think period-appropriate clothes patterns exist for Little Bitty Baby so I'll have to draft patterns for Britta myself.
Matt Gertz at MMFA:
Right-wing media helped dupe their audiences into believing that drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were miracle cures for COVID-19. Now, conservative commentators are apparently cashing in on that credulity thanks to the paid sponsorship of a mail-order pharmacy that provides easy access to the medicines. The Florida-based All Family Pharmacy has sponsored a slew of right-wing commentators, including Fox News host Laura Ingraham, presidential son Donald Trump Jr., podcaster (and now deputy director of the FBI) Dan Bongino, One America News Network’s Matt Gaetz and Chanel Rion, The F1rst’s Bill O’Reilly, podcaster Candace Owens, and radio hosts Lars Larson, Michael Savage, and Howie Carr. These pundits tout the company in social media posts and live ad reads as a way for their followers to acquire drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Some even offer personal testimonials about their own experiences as its customers. All Family Pharmacy, in turn, points to being “featured” by the commentators on its website, and provides dedicated pages for several of them that include their images. The company is careful, both on its website and in the ad copy read by its right-wing promoters, not to explicitly invoke the use of ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine as treatments for COVID-19 without disclaimers. But it’s very clear what’s going on.
How right-wing pundits built demand for dubious COVID-19 cures
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, right-wing media outlets combated the public health consensus by promoting the virtues of unproven drugs. In March 2020, they touted the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine as an alternative to stay-at-home orders. A year and a half later, they highlighted the purported therapeutic benefits of the antiparasite drug ivermectin as an alternative to the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines they typically deplored. Unfortunately, studies found that the drugs do not actually work as COVID-19 therapies, and a slew of health agencies and the manufacturers warned against their use for that purpose. As a result, when consumers of right-wing media asked their doctors to write off-label prescriptions for the drugs that the media figures they most trusted had recommended for COVID-19, the doctors sometimes refused. But telemedicine companies filled that gap in the market, offering credulous right-wingers easy access to prescriptions and mail-order drugs.
[...] While All Family Pharmacy says it provides “Easy Access to 200+ Medications,” its website emphasizes the availability of drugs that became conservatives’ causes célèbre during the pandemic. An image of a box of ivermectin and capsules of the drug is splashed across the website’s landing page and separate pages for the right-wingers it sponsors, and the company is currently offering a “Buy One Get One FREE” sale for both that medicine and the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine. All Family Pharmacy provides would-be purchasers of ivermectin with their “Covid-19 Treatment Dose” and “Covid-19/Viral Prevention Dose,” but also informs them that the drug is “not FDA-approved for … COVID-19 treatment or prevention” and instructs to “consult a licensed healthcare provider for advice.”
Right-wing media pundits such as Matt Gaetz, Laura Ingraham, Bill O’Reilly, Dan Bongino, and Lars Larson are cashing in on the ivermectin craze they promoted as a dubious alternative “cure” to COVID vaccines .
Twitter Bans Popular Conservative Radio Host Lars Larson...For Defending Police
Twitter Bans Popular Conservative Radio Host Lars Larson…For Defending Police
Social Media sites are in the habit of banning conservatives for everything they disagree with and using the excuse “hateful behavior” or “hate speech” – like Facebook’s “inauthentic behavior.” Twitter banned popular Conservative radio host Lars Larson for 12 hours, calling his tweet “hateful behavior,” according to The Blaze. (Gosh, does any of that sound familiar?) Why? Because he defended…

Lars: No more stopping because somebody needs to pee or we ran out of hot water or someone let an opossum into the house.
Kirsten: I let a raccoon in the house. The possum was his loser friend.
I saw this picture on Mercari today while I was *definitely not stalking a listing waiting for the seller to accept my offer*
And I immediately saw 1980s Tina Turner. Just give her a microphone and a sequin or leather minidress, tease the hair a little more, and there she is.
I don't need a Tina Turner doll. I don't even want one, really. But the Beehive in the Bonnet won't let go of the idea, so I saved the listing and if it's still there when I have the extra to play with I might buy it to customize.
Also the offer I *totally was not stalking* has finally, Finally, FINALLY been accepted and I will have three 1989 Gotz dolls arriving in the next weekish. I only wanted one to customize for a Lars to go with my Kirsten, but the other two are in good shape with only a little repair work needed so I will fix them up and then decide what to do with them.
Kirsten, who has grown taller than her older brother: This is my little brother Lars. He knows we can't afford new clothes so he just doesn't grow.
Lars: Kirsten, why is there a pancake in the silverware drawer?
Kirsten: You mean, why is there silverware in the pancake drawer?
