I'm not against diabetes research. I'm just saying we could have both.

* I want to thank everyone who contributed to the Squirrel Fundraiser. They think they will be all right now.

* One of the things we got out of last week's marathon bureaucracy is Goth Millennial is getting paid to be my aid again. We also carved out eight hours a month for New Millennial. They started getting paid for their work Wednesday.

Let us hope I get to keep my home care aid hours. We should find out soon.

I took them both on Wednesday errands, which was delightful. I used the motorized cart and spent as much time as possible while waiting things in the car with my seat reclined, reading. When we got back I was exhausted, but we also needed to do a full sofa change for the second day in a row because the emperor is being above and beyond destructive just now.

Them: I haven't seen you this exhausted after errands in months.
Me: I kept having to use all the spoons last week. There is a price for that.

This is a reminder for those of you who are not disabled or are recently disabled that this is what pushing through DOES when you are disabled. Yes, the Millennials got their job stuff sorted out and I'm re-certified as still disabled (Every five years I need to prove to various agencies that my spine hasn't spontaneously regenerated to a pristine state, nor my joints, nor my lungs.) and I've shored up my SSI stuff best I can, and we got the cleaning done in time for both inspections, etc., etc. But I'm pretty much going to be fucked physically for a couple of weeks and I got way behind on EVERYTHING last week because there wasn't anything left most days so I kept going to bed hungry and very early and didn't do the stuff I can normally manage.

I am going to be paying and paying and paying.

Tavy did get a nice cuddle nap on me, then go sit on Goth Millennial for a while for pettins until the humans needed to rearrange themselves for dinner.

* Something has gone dramatically wrong with my bank account. I suspect paypal allowed a secret autowithdraw again at exactly the wrong time, which I will need to track down, as a bill I'd scheduled to pay with more than enough money in the account rather suddenly caused an overdraft. (I checked it wasn't Amazon prime randomly reactivating again, but it's a pain in the ass finding the right tab on paypal. I will do that next.) I had some cash I'd socked away at the beginning of the month in case I needed it for inspection cleaning. I put it back in in time to patch the hole, but when Insuarnce auto-withdraws hit, I am fucked. I think $70.00 would cover those plus fees.

When I got to my first college to be a philosophy monk, guys were all abuzz about "Surely You're Joking."

I intended to read it eventually, but I kept shying away instinctively. I think I subconsciously picked up on what time of guys were into Feynman.

(There was an exception, who used to also tell his dad's Feynman stories from when they were working together. These stories were amusing in a way that the Feynman Bros quoting the book weren't. He wasn't a Feynman cultist, but rather someone with stories to contribute about Feynman in Feynman based conversations, if you get my meaning.)

This piece was illuminating and helpful to me.

* At bedtime Monday morning I noticed some weird things with my vision in my right eye. I looked them up and it sure sounds like a retinal tear. (I know, don't trust Web M.D., but shit is sudden, extreme and weird. I thought of alternate explanations, but I liminiated all of the non-medical ones. Fuck! Of course when everyone's off for holidays.

I have a scheduled appointment, I think for Monday. I should likely wait up and hope they are open today because it's getting worse.

* I was so exhausted I completely missed the Mummer's this year. :(

For those following the Special Assessment Saga, it was a good thing I raised and paid rent on top of what they took. Assholes still charged me a hundred dollar late fee because they fucked up December accounting. If they had taken rent instead of the third special assessment chunk without my knowledge or consent causing overdraft fees, then everything would have been paid to them on time, but I didn't know they were doing it until it was too late to fix, so here we are down an extra hundred for January with car fees and things coming due later in the month.

It will likely be all right. I will need to talk to Squirrel about it, but it will probably be all right.

I hate how extreme the punishment for doing nothing wrong has been in 2024, and it just keeps happening.

* I had so much fun with the dead podcast the back half of December. I ran out of episodes and find myself craving more.

It's an anthology series via Bloody Disgusting and the George A. Romero Foundation, so zombies.Like any anthology, so are more to my taste than others, but they were all worth listening to. They are shared universe, and do occasionally reference each other, but they also jump in time between stories and you could pretty easily listen to each story in any order. (A story is four episodes). The cast is diverse as one would expect given who is making these. The sound design fills me with horror and delight as is expected from Bloody Disgusting. For real, the zombie eating people sounds are far more awful than seeing gore on screen would be, even knowing how they were made.

Something I wanted to mention is the zombie sounds. Walking Dead is such a big thing and has been since the first episode debuted that their rattling hiss zombie vocalizations tend to be what zombies sound like now. Older media did other things: Moans, silence, even words. I have even heard a roar in one fascinating low budget one. These days though? Rattling hiss tends to be what one hears even in a lot of non Walking Dead Properties.

I like how human they made their zombie vocalizations in The Dead. I like the slow transition from a human sounding sick and in pain getting less and less articulate to what sounds a lot like me levering myself out of bed on a bad pain day and hobbling around. I like that it reminds one how human the newly turned look and sound. I like that it sounds like they could start speaking again at any moment, that the sound design of the intro encourages one to strain to catch words that never come during the episodes proper.

This thing is beautifully done and addicting, even when I know exactly how things are going to go. (This isn't a dis. Most twists in anything I will see coming).

Anyway, if you like zombie stories, I suggest checking this out.

* The Death of the Rule of Law and Constitutional Democracy in the United States Occurred on 7/1/24

With a stroke of the pen, five unellected judges killed the rule of law. As of today, we are officially an autocracy in which it is legal for the president to order the arrest of not only all political rivals, but to order their assassination. It is now completely legal for the president to overthrow the government and do anything he likes to anyone in the country as no laws apply anymore to the leader.

The Republicans are Neo-NAZIs who've been pushing for a fascist dictatorship for most of a decade. The only thing preventing them is them not holding the Presidency. If they over hold it again, it's over. We will have lost, likely forever.

* Primaries are Ongoing:
Important! Remember to vote in all primaries!!!

NOTE: Important non-Presidential Primaries are also ongoing! Remember to vote in all the races, not just the top of the ticket. 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. This is how you push the party and the government left.

Tennessee (Congress): 8/1/24

Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Washington: 8/6/24

Hawaii: 8/10/24

Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont, Wisconsin: 8/13/24

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.

Never, ever sleep on a chance to vote.

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

* 7/4/24: I took Goth Millennial to the good (Cheap, employee owned) grocery store. We generally shop together and we both needed a lot of things. I need to restock a whole lot of stuff thrown out or given away in the Great Refrigerator disaster. So I'm zooping along in the riding cart because my hip joints hate me and my broken toe is healing extra slow and we kept having this thing where I was like, "Oh! We need to grab X." GM: but we HAVE X. Me: It was old and nearly empty, so I threw it out when we emptied the freezer. Them: sad face

The new refrigerator is a lot smaller and less disability friendly, It does, however, WORK and it's mechanisms are simpler so let's hope it doesn't break once every 1-2 years like the old one. A kind friend got me a new britta as we gave away our sink attachment, filter tank, and emergency jug when we moved here. The water is so cold and delicious, far better than the old fridge water. Finding anything in it is a drama, though, especially with the freezer. I was trying to get cheese for meds snack and spent ten minutes searching. I thought we'd saved emergency frozen broccoli for yesterday's dinner from the Great Fridge Disaster, but if we did, it was buried in my hurried restock, probably amongst the frozen fruit for smoothies. Sigh.

Related note: I searched every stir fry veggie pouch in the freezer section of the good grocery store and all of the mixed pouches had onions and/or carrots and/or cauliflower. Sigh. I do not like cauliflower except in a tiny number of things, stir fry emphatically not amoung them. I like carrots fresh in salads and in certain soups and restaurant dishes, but not homemade emergency from frozen sir fry. I can no longer digest onions properly and I don't like them enough to go through the unpleasantness unless it's something special like the good cheese and chives bakery bread or restaurant stir fry, and even then, less is more. (I cook with freeze dried or dried and powdered garlic which I'm fine with and frozen garlic i can digest, but normal onions are right out, even frozen. I can handle a small amount of powdered or freeze dried). I don't make the rules. My body does. So I guess I can no longer buy a frozen stir fry packet for emergencies. Sigh.

Somehow my Bay leaf is missing and I forgot to restock, dammit. Also, I've not had safe for me salsa since the fridge killed the last mostly used container, and I still haven't been to that store for that, safe cup of soups, cheese, and dried mango, which are staples. Fuck! There are too many things I can't enjoy without salsa, so it's either no emergency too sick to make food soups, or no dried fruit for a month. (I'm an old and mango is both vitamin rich and something I am always willing to eat and at my age… a little fruit is a good idea every day.

I have a bunch of good things for now. bagels and cream cheese, fresh fruit, mushrooms, etc.. My fridge is restocked. I do have some cheese that survived the disaster, but half of it is messed up from it's sojourn in Squirrel's little chest freezer (I feel like if I say chest freezer, people imagine something you can hide an adult body in, whereas this was a freezer I bought when we lived in the previous apartment because storing my stuff and Squirrel meat in the tiny apartment freezer won't work. I now rather wish it WERE hide the body size, but where the fuck would we put it in this over crowded postage stamp apartment?), which means it crumbles and doesn't melt properly. (We were very lucky. Usually squirrel's meat freezer is PACKED, but it had a third empty when disaster struck, which saved the ice cream and the more expensive stuff I had like assorted vegetarian burger meats, frozen fruit, and cheese. It also meant ice.) I thought I had swiss, but maybe we used it up fast early in the disaster before it could go over.

It keeps going like this. I burned the OTC mostly on medicine, but also some fresh fruit and veg. I'm still pissed they cut OTC nearly in half this year. I'm also angry about the paternalistic "Healthy Food" requirement, which is nonsensical because bagels aren't classed as "healthy food," but cream cheese, Count Chocula cereal, and frozen pizza is, which seems kind of bullshit to me. Goth Millennial thinks it has to do with FDA subsidies and not nutrition at all, which sounds likely to me. I am ALSO pissed that the OTC is designed as a subsidy for large chain grocery store and pharmacies and also I have to pay tax on it. Fucking capitalism. It didn't used to be. It used to be at cost, so more valuable. Instead of doing the food portion like EBT, so I could buy at farmer's markets and also get seeds and starts, I have to go to the second most expensive grocery store in town and have to buy from their limited "healthy foods" list which does not involve starts and seeds. side eye

So I'm likely fucked for paying bills because of the refrigerator, and will need to wait 'til next month to get the rest of the food, and all the fresh fruit and the best vegetables are coming into season, tempting me to burn toilet paper on money on what I KNOW, are luxuries. I live a block away from a market garden that gets fresh fruit and sundries shipped fresh each morning from other local family farms and they have fruit so fresh and good nothing that nothing I've ever tasted can touch the quality. I am sleeping on sheets so torn I struggle not to put my legs through the holes and the visit to a friend in another town I'd hoped to do this month is postponed, possible cancelled.

I know, I know, this is one lost Summer for me while people are literally dying of starvation in Gaza. I'm just exhausted from the heat and the physio and the constant barrage of disasters hitting my friends one after the other. Some friends caught COVID. Goth Millennial is still fighting the unjust firing and the same employer is threatening another of my Millennials over the same bullshit. Us: "You need to tell the Union. " And the housing department is foot dragging and there this whole thing going on with a bunch of other bureaucracy stuff, and, and, and….

I still have not heard back on them raising the housing rate in August, so I can't even plan properly. Did they not get quorum? Did the protest work? Who knows? It's weird they've sent no email, right?

* Presidential Primaries are ongoing:

Republicans: South Carolina votes 2/24/24

Michigan: All vote 2/27/24

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 (as it is in my state). 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.

* My surgery will be March 12th. As my dominant arm will be immobilized for two weeks, odds are I won't be doing news aggregation during that period as I suck at mousing with my off hand and I am slow. If I'm on at all it will likely be reblogs, queue, and the like. It can be up to a month after I'm freed to get up to speed, but I have no way of knowing what I can manage when, until very late March.

I'm giving people the heads up now so y'all know what's going on, and I'll remind people when we're closer. I know people worry if I drop off all social media for two weeks.

This is pretty much where I was with this. I was low key obsessed with both Brideshead (Book and miniseries) and the Nureyev Nijinsky's Faun (and Nijinsky just generally. Also ballet) as a tween. I've seen talented Mr. Ripley any number of times.

On paper this was so exciting. The bones of something interesting were there. In practice? I kept thinking I'd rather be watching the Andrews/Irons miniseries of my youth.
