* Early voting has already started in a few places.

Democrats: South Carolina votes 2/3/24

Democrats: Nevada votes 2/6/24

Republicans: Nevada votes 2/8/24
Republicans: Virgin Islands votes 2/8/24

Know your state's schedule and where to vote. Make sure you and your friends are registered. If you are voting in person, plan how to get there.

If you live in an open primary state consider voting strategically. Otherwise, vote your heart in the primary. Remember how all those votes for Sanders and Warren pushed Biden and the party platform further left?

Remember to vote in all the races, not just the top of the ticket even if it's in a separate primary. Who runs congress, your state, and your local government really matters. In some states this is a separate primary. Check the rules for your state.

Never, ever sleep on a chance to vote.

Remember, it is always better to vote for someone who will listen to us than to let someone who is actively trying to kill us.

* I forgot to mention I voted the other day. No, not in the Primary. My state is late in the calendar and has a tiny delegate count. No, it was a local special election.

A lot of people ignore special election and local elections, but as I keep saying, a lot of really important things for quality of life happen in local elections.

In this case, it was a pair of really important school funding measures, including one that made sure kids had access to modern computers.

This stuff feels small, but education funding is an important investment in the future.

Wherever you are, if you can legally vote, vote every chance you have.

After all, Biden has merely stood with worker's his whole career and fought for union and worker's rights, while Trump has done the massive work of doing a few photo ops and made lies and hollow promises while helping the posses and trying to repeal things workers need.

* Tuesday torture appointment was terrible, but not quite as bad as Thursday. Apparently the Medicare Advantage covered para-transit is also a lie as I discovered when I got picked up. Luckily I had a dollar left. so now I need to call around again to various social services that claimed it was a thing and find out WTF.

Being disabled is exhausting.

In other news, I'd forgotten our little storage closet is upstairs. Next to the elevator. The one that filled entirely with water and they had to pump out that still isn't safe to use.

So after physio I hobbled upstairs to check. There is zero chance of me pulling everything or much of anything out by myself, let alone carrying it all downstairs without an elevator. There is no one to help. Still I had to check in case I needed to try to work something out immediately. Asshole Agency Maybe? Idk.

The carpet just inside the closet was dry as were the boxes in front. There is no telling what's going on in the back. We'll still need to pull it all out and move it when they do damage inspections, but I have a little more time. Maybe the elevator will be fixed by then and we can use a dolly? Where to store it idk.

It was encouraging that the cleared and damaged ones were all closer to the waterfall, and the damage didn't look that bad. I am hoping that the closets on the other side of the elevator shaft were spared or partially spared by the water pouring down the shaft.

I think it's mostly paper records in the back in case of need, the ones that are oldest need recycling anyway as you only need to keep the seven years. I am hoping the missing photo album is further front. If the tax stuff sucked up any water it is not a loss. If it's old letter and the like, it's irreplaceable.

We are incredibly lucky. Most of the upper floors of two buildings have mostly been without electricity. some without water. People lost everything and have been living out of hotels. Dire damage happened in the apartments next door; We had a slow drip in the laundry closet that stopped on it's own.

It is apparently much worse in the other building.

Seriously, every time I look up at the darkened upper windows I think of how catastrophic this has been for so many people.
