But instead of hats, she received a drug that includes blue scorpion venom in its ingredients. The package came from Ukraine.

Over the weekend, Day updated that she was refunded for the hat, but is now very much an owner of scorpion venom.

To add another layer of ridiculousness to the situation, Day is a writer at left-wing Jacobin magazine, which features stories such as, "You Can’t Trust Capitalists."
