* I am on the record with a whole host of problems with Pope Francis, and I'm not one of the folks on the Left who ignore the fine print on his statement in order to pretend he's better than he is. That said? He's a fuckton better than any Pope I've seen in my lifetime. So, not what I'd want in an ideal world, but I'll take him over a conservative hypocrite like Viganò any day. The politics of what's going on here are very much worth paying attention to. I'd like to make super clear I am 100% for holding every single one of them legally accountable for child abuse who was involved directly or covered it up. If you've followed me any length of time you know that already. I also have a serious problem with abuse of authority, such as a Professor sleeping with a student or a psychiatrist sleeping with a patient, even if both are adults, since there is a serious issue of true consent given the power differential and all the ways the one with so much more power and coerce, manipulate, and generally ruin someone's life if they say no.

The issue here is according to some reports Viganò is combining his attack on pedophilia cover up and sexual abuse of vulnerable adults by someone with authority over them with an attack on consensual sex between men in the clergy in general. Not the same thing at all. (I don't read Italian and the complaint is massive so I'm relying on English language reporting of the contents. Take this with a grain of salt).

Also, it sure looks like Viganò is guilty of exactly the thing he's accusing Pope Francis of, which makes me side eye his claims that he's championing zero tolerance. Shouldn't Viganò turn himself over to authorities first if he's so keen on it? Just saying. Look, I haven't the information I'd need to assess Viganò's claims against Pope Francis, but it sure looks like Viganò has a political motive and his hands aren't clean, so I'll wait for a better source on the substance for now while side eyeing the conservatives in the Catholic hierarchy. Again, not a Francis fan and willing to be convinced by proper evidence from a less shady source, but for now this looks like conservative attempt to curtail even the mild, half ass reforms Francis has attempted

"Japan’s decision not to inform the US government of the meeting, which was reported in the Washington Post, was said to have caused “irritation” among senior officials."

I bet Mr. Abe was "irritated" when 45 told him, "I remember Pearl Harbor" at their late meeting, and I'm pretty sure South Korean and Japanese officials have been "irritated" since 45 took office and started fucking with things he's not bright enough to understand that dramatically affect their National Security without consulting them or taking their interests into account, but here we are.

* I did manage to drag myself out to forage, though not as early as intended, so I had to take far parking and the pickings weren't great. I looped to the library, then dropped off three boxes of comics for them to sort through. (I carried the lightest one in on my head; a worker there carried the other two much to my relief). I'll go back in a week or so to see what I can get for them. (It would be totally unreasonable to turn up three hours before close with that much stuff and expect random employees to look through them while trying to deal with normal customers, so I told them to take their time and I'd come back. They looked relieved, and honestly, I think they'd rather put the decision making in the owner's hands instead of trying to handle something like that themselves). I've hopes of help Saturday with taking stuff upstairs and resorting the storage unit as I've hopes of finding a box of missing comics and another box that ought to be up their of other things i'd like down here. Also, we did not efficiently tetris the storage unit when we were bringing things down to sort. I figure I can keep reading through things I need to decide on and put them in the not full boxand maybe a second box when it comes to it, and this way I can get the boxes out of my livig room so I can start doing Gothmas maybe next week. It's going to be more complicated than usu al with the decorations we found when sorting the storage unit, since obviously that stuff isn't sorted into Gothmas phases and I only half remember what all might be in there. I am kind of excited to see what I have, really.

I'm still off my feed and endlessly tired, but I really am much better. I am really enjoying this whole last year's vaccine making it so my body can handle pathogens without antibiotics most of the time thing. I'd almost forgotten what that was like and am enjoying it while it lasts.

This is the best year I've had for tomatoes since moving away from home. I've been having them fresh from the vine since they started coming ripe. First the garden saves me in spring when all my lettuce varieties were going gang busters while there was a commercial shortage due to contamination. Now I've all the tomatoes I could possible want when there are hardly any in forage. I love my garden. I love it's smell and having growing things to look at every day even though the space is very small.

The cats are really loving getting the whole window area back from the fans. They are going to be terribly disappointed when the Halloween village goes up for the Gothmas season. This evening at the end of treat time, one of the gazebo birds flew past the window and they galloped off in unison to look, then stayed to enjoy the show the wind was putting on by making all the plants wave and wiggle enticingly. I hope this means the start of the windy season. I've not tried to put the fans away both in case of a last minute heat wave and because it's more efficient to do it when I pull the Gothmas stuff out of the bedroom closet. I am so done with summer and am loving the perfect September weather we've had the last few days. I am an Autumn person and always have been.

Dutch may not be ready to hear it yet, but it's something she will need to deal with down the road.

* I finished the fine sort of things I am for sure selling, and it's super clear that a ox is still missing somewhere. Sigh. I need to enlist someone to help me get boxes into my car, so I can have a little more room to maneuver.

The air quality is still not great, but there's more movement and I'm managing better today as a result.

I have rl social things scheduled Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. This may effect my availability. Really, I ought to be baking a pavlova as I type this, but I'm having trouble talking myself into it.

Update: I did make the pavlova, but either the new recipe I was trying or the humidity did not lead to the ideal texture. Sigh. On the upside, the dishwasher was almost full and I could run the beaters right away, so I can make whipped cream with them tomorrow.

As a result, I did not achieve much here before going back to bed, and I can not vouch for quality. Apologies.

I seem to have made a maths error and am twenty short for my insurance auto-withdraw. Sigh. This on top of the hundred I don't have for meds and bills. Anything would help at this point, given the fees likely to result if I don't have enough to cover insurance.

"I shudder at the thought of what would have become of the Glossers had the same policies Stephen so coolly espouses— the travel ban, the radical decrease in refugees, the separation of children from their parents, and even talk of limiting citizenship for legal immigrants — been in effect when Wolf-Leib made his desperate bid for freedom. The Glossers came to the U.S. just a few years before the fear and prejudice of the “America first” nativists of the day closed U.S. borders to Jewish refugees. Had Wolf-Leib waited, his family likely would have been murdered by the Nazis along with all but seven of the 2,000 Jews who remained in Antopol. I would encourage Stephen to ask himself if the chanting, torch-bearing Nazis of Charlottesville, whose support his boss seems to court so cavalierly, do not envision a similar fate for him."

* My torso muscles are finally healing to the point of constant dull ache instead of serious pain, but I am struggling with low air quality and the deep wet cough that comes with. I am making good progress on Domestic news, though I'm not caught up. The World news queue is massive and I will keep trying to catch up there also. I am sorry about not keeping up properly the last couple of weeks.

* Seanan McGuire's Sparrow Hill Road is an intricate thing. It looks like a series of loosely connected short stories about a particular character, but as one reads it gradually becomes clear that each story is like a beautifully glazed tile in a mosaic and one one stands back, the real picture appears. It remains one of the cleverest designs for a novel I've seen, special and irreplaceable.

The sequel, Girl in the Green Silk gown is not like that (I'm not sure anything else COULD be exactly like that, and Ms. McGuire had the wisdom not to try), being in a more standard novel format, but it is beautiful and intricate and does this really clever thing with the whole of the story being in a way a mirror reflection of the last, more traditionally mythic part. It is clever design in the same way as the first book was, just as intricate and the whole design only really being visible in retrospect without trying to mimic the specific way the first pulled it off. If Sparrow hill Road is a mosaic or a quilt, this is... recursion in a mirror perhaps? Or a fractal?

I love these characters. I love the world design. I want to clutch both these books to my heart and at the same time thrust copies at friends and strangers on the street.

I had not energy for internet and worked at the sorting project for a bit and went to bed. Today I did more sorting project and more trying to deal with the remaining chaos. The weather has turned pleasantly breezy at least, which makes things more manageable.
