* Wednesday: Squirrel got his booster too late, looks like. (They take two weeks for full coverage). He gets tested at work and had yesterday off, so 2-3 days since infection. We resigned ourselves to the inevitability of infection when they informed him he'd be working with COVID patients. They've been taking all precautions, but Omicron is so terribly infectious.

He is staying entirely in his room; the cats and I are staying out here. I'm bringing him provisions and the like, and the plan is for us not to interact directly, but we must assume my exposure, given how terribly infectious omicron is. I was boosted in early December, so the risk to me is not that great. Either I'm in the unlucky 10% or I'm not. I must hope Pfiser will protect me. I told the Millennials to stay away, lest we infect them, because that is the far greater risk.

* Thursday I masked up with the best mask I had left and went out for provisions to tide Squirrel over in his room for quarantine, since someone had to go, and better me than him. Once I returned, I considered myself in quarantine too. This took all the Thursday spoons and likely some of Friday's.

Friday, I dealt with phone stuff and scheduled a Covid test for Tuesday. I dragged in forage delivery from the patio and sorted and put it away. I did the usual essential things. I am exhausted, but I would be in any case. I have a chronic sinus infection that comes in waves so is that mild stuffiness COVID or the usual? My lungs are in the normal range for this time of year and weather, though on the slightly goopier end of normal. COVId or just my CF Carrier/Allegries/COPD?

Squirrel was still recovering from the booster when he got COVID. We both are pretty sure his symptoms are all or mostly booster recovery, since his arc is pretty much the same one I experienced early December. He is noticeably better every day, but the other shoe could drop and he's higher risk than me.

Tavy can't understand any of this and is extra bitey. He doesn't understand why there are no Millennials. he can't understand why squirrel doesn't pet him. he can't understand why I won't crack the door so he can see what Squirrel is doing and maybe hang out with him. All the routines are in tatters. He gratuitously bit me so hard during lung time Thursday night that he left a dark bruise on my wrist. (The arm was innocently lying across my stomach a couple inches away. I was still. It was definitely nothing I did.) Livia is subtly unsettled and clearly missing his butt pets, but she is very much my cat, if you follow, and more cat social oriented than a people cat. This is so much harder on the emperor who is very much an extrovert.

* Not surprisingly, me having been a 14th century specialist before my break with academia and having been interested in yersina pestis since before even that other major plague struck like lightening and burned through the most vital and creative of two generations, I have thought about the Great Pestilence a lot in the past two years. I have written about that and the Great Plague of Athens in this space and others off and on.

What I haven't written of much or possibly at all is how much I've been thinking about wars. About all the soldiers marching into or later airlifted into meat grinders in places like the Somme or Galipoli or Gettysburg or Omaha Beach or Dien bien Phu. Really all of the Crimean War, or our American Civil War or WWI, and big chunks of all the wars after, once the gun tech reached a certain level.

I think about this when it comes to medical workers in the current Covid crisis. I think about two years of Doctors, nurses, and paramedics, exhausted beyond weeping begging over and over for people to where their masks and stay inside. I think of wave after wave grinding them down to burnt out nubs. I think of men baaing like sheep as they leave their troop transports because that was the only protest they were allowed as they were marched towards the meat grinder battles of WWI, most to come back badly damaged or not at all. You generally can't see neurological and cardiac damage the way you can see missing limbs or a ruined face, but oh the scars are their and so is the PTSD by whatever name an era chooses to call it.

In my highly vaccinated area, in the gap between the Delta spike and the Omicron wave that is drowning us now, the hospital sucked up 130+ nurses out of surrounding nursing home to fill the holes left by those leaving one way or another. (Burnt out, damaged irreparably, psychological damage, and those who don't care enough about other people that infecting and killing people for the Republican political cause made them no longer suitable for a profession that is fundamentally about empathy when practiced well). I kept thinking of the terrible stage in war where the old men and children are the only ones left to call up as a last defense. The healthy nurses went over the top long ago and the people left are people like Squirrel in the most vulnerable categories still able to work. Those nursing homes are now killing fields staffed by a skeleton crew.

Those people lost to death and disability and physical and emotional fatigue... We aren't getting them back. All that skill and intelligence and experience, they have moved on one way or another. The best case scenario here is things like private practice and medical bureaucracy. Far too many are gone for good. The first health care worker to die in NYC's first wave was a gay man. So many followed him.

The first wave could have been less deadly if people like 45 and Boris Johnson and Jair Bolsanaro weren't entirely devoid of ethics and empathy, but a lot of the early part couldn't be helped. It was better in places like the one where I live with responsible leaders who saw saving lives as the goal; it was a nightmare in most Republican controlled areas where killing as many people as possible for capitalism is a linchpin of the "pro-life" agenda. After that first wave though? That's all pretty much on purpose. Selfishness from the International down to the individual level.

Healthcare workers are being endlessly pushed into the meat grinder, and it is inexcusable and irreparable. We'll be lucky if the system recovers in a generation and that's an optimistic view. The people? So many of the people won't, and there's not really a token attempt anymore at saving them.

* What happened to me this week? I continue to struggle with the arm thing and have only just started to make headway. On top of that, I came down with a virus (non-covid). Fever, Piercing headache, nausea, sinus stuff, dizziness, mild wet cough. My breathing is within normal range and I definitely have a sense of smell. It's just one of the things I get multiple times a year. I needed a lot of sleep/lying down, but the fever was almost gone as of Friday afternoon, which is good because i need to be healthy enough to inoculate Monday.

Bonus? Stimulus came just in time for me to move money around so I could have it all sorted for Monday. Rupert's replacement is on order, thought it will take him a while to get here. Live posting/aggregate will stop by Monday 9AM Pacific for a day or two.

* Saturday, the fever was entirely gone, but the pain rendered my right arm nearly unusable and my left not great. I used the strongest medication I have which was just enough for me to feed myself and beasts, but the pain level remains stunning.

To my surprise, Aidan laptop is here, I started getting him up to speed. I'm going to finish winding down Rupert when things are less nightmarish physically.

* I was getting better. I swear I was. I started the second z-pac Thursday because while clearing, my lungs weren't clear. I also kind of felt crap Thursday evening, but in the expected ways given the war inside my body.

Ad then I had an ICU dream. These aren't nightmares. No really. I get them when my lungs are bad and the dream is about going on oxygen and having actual appropriate medical care. Other Americans will see why this is kind of an exciting concept. People in developed countries will likely be like: isn't that every day?

Anyway, I half woke up and thought, "Huh, that's odd. My lungs aren't bad enough for me to be dreaming about supplemental oxygen," and went back to sleep.

This was a mistake. I bet you can see the mistake already, but in my defense: half asleep and when I went to bed I was projecting them drying up by Monday.

I woke up with really bad lungs. Like worse than the day they started me on the second antibiotic bad lungs. I moved a little and ended up having to eject a cat and lean over the side of me bed in case I vomited from coughing bad.

My the time I got it together I was too late for the clinic call in hours, apparently. Like they were till open, but o longer answering phones.

Long time readers will know that I general get a virus and then an opportunistic bacterial lung infection moves in while my immune system is extra distracted between fighting off the virs and it's main goal of eating large sections of my body under the beleif that most of me is a foreign object.

Except this is clearly bacterial or it wouldn't have been responding to antibiotics. Which means odds are i just pulled the rare opposite scenario. What have I had to do a lot of the past three weeks? Go to assorted Doctors despite my real concern about infection risk. <.< >.>

Nothing could be done except wait for me to reach live people at the poverty clinic. I'm maxing out my lung treatments.

I think I need a COVID test. If I have it, odds are squirrel and I are both dead.

Update: It took an hour and a half on the phone, but I found an open slot. I can't get results until Tuesday because of the long weekend.

* "Rating (aka Roasting) Historical Movie Corsets:"

This isn't in the video, but the one movie costumes do that drives me up the wall is when 20th century movies have corsets or obvious mid-20th century bras that completely screw up the silhouette in dresses from eriods before stays were invented.

* I watch a lot of zombie movies. Like most of them at least once. One'll slip by here or there only to be noticed a few years later and I'll have to wait for some to come up somewhere I can watch free, but I watch them all, even the terrible z-grade ones. I've been dreaming about zombies in one form another since I was literally three, before I knew the word. IDK, they resonate with me for a bunch of reasons, some of which I've written about before.

I have watched aquatic NAZI zombies, stripper zombies, lederhosen zombies, crappy racist pre-Romero zombies. I love Romero and always will. I love Cemetery Man. Train to Busan is now my favorite, but seriously Dawn of the dead in particular was formative in a bunch of ways. I even watched the zombienado thing the sharknado people made.

I may have found one of the worst zombie movies ever made last night. I mean, at least Zombienado and the zombie strippers had some camp value and the self awareness to know they aren't making a good flick here, just making a flick period, so they just had fun with it. It was a terrible, terrible thing, that made very little sense, couldn't pick a tone, was consistently horribly racist despite being made in 2014 and randomly casually homophobic, and had possibly the stupidest, most annoying collection of characters ever assembled in a zombie movie. Also it was simultaneously vehemently christian and anti-christian in a way that just kept confusing me. It seemed to be trying to say something about religion, but the whole thing was so incoherent, I can't venture a guess as to what.

When I say stupid, I mean I literally could not figure out how this collection of people could survive an hour in a zombie apocalypse let alone a year and a half. These zombies are attracted to noise, but they never shut up and like yelling and screaming all the fucking time. All of their ideas are terrible and frequently deadly. The teenager keeps wandering off by herself. they keep putting limbs and faces next to infected people. they don't pay attention to undead they can see coming towards them because their annoying petty personal dramas are more important than not getting bitten. They keep splitting up and getting attacked.... Like seriously, how'd they make it this far?

The two supposedly bright characters really, really weren't. One was a bunch of ableist tropes (both mental and physical) in a man suit. The other? Was supposedly a scientist, but was only marginally brighter than the others. If this movie wasn't from the UK and six years old, I'd have thought he was a trump CDC political appointee. Like get this: They did mass inoculations of the military with an experimental vaccine they had not bothered to test for safety and efficacy. They had no tests to see if there were any side effects apparently before they lined them up and dosed them with the stuff. What could go wrong? Dude!

So I have to ask, how did someone with 45's level of mental impairment get put in charge of a biological warfare vaccine development program of this magnitude? How did he get the credentials to get hired? What muppet let him handle level four pathogens? Did not one person anywhere in the process suggest at least one proper phase 3 study?

And his decisions stopped making any sense at all once they ran into literal Sweet zombie Jesus. No really. There is a literal zombie Jesus and what little sense the character had in their heads falls right out along with the already minimal coherence to the plot.

I just can't with this film. I keep trying to work out what any of the characters were thinking or why they did any of the things they did and I can't. I still have no idea why zombie Jesus' powers worked the weird inconsistent way they did, just as I can't explain WTF they had a live action first person shooter style intro tacked on at the start of the movie and what if any information it was meant to convey.

They'd have been better off killing off these people as an intro and then made another better movie with characters that I actually wanted to watch doing things that made sense instead of bickering loudly to attract zombies and occasionally literally feeding themselves to zombies on purpose.

Do not watch Zombie Resurrection.

* Every time they run footage of 45 bragging that him passing the dementia test proves some how he's smart and going on about how hard the last ten questions are, I sort of lose it. See, as part of the disability process you get accessed for mental competence a lot. I also had a lot of old fashioned IQ tests as a kid because of where I went to school. (I am not going to give y'all my long ass rant about IQ tests not actually testing intelligence, how they were normed and the ways they have been used and misused. I've done that periodically in writing over the years and i used to give a verbal version of it multiple times a day to my 8th graders when we did "Flowers for Algernon," as the only people in the room who'd taken one were me and the kids with disabilities and a rant from someone who routinely tested "genius," even though that really means very little, about why the test is a mess was apt to mean a lot more than it might from someone else, and I never ever wanted to single of the kids with disabilities especially in this context, though over the years I had several of the more popular ones volunteer because here was something they had expert knowledge about). Anyway, various types of intelligence and cognitive tests are something I've experienced, though I'm not an expert. (I've administered some specific, specialized tests for special ed assessments professionally, but not this kind of test). Consider me an interested amateur. I recognize components. I can list the most common words they generally have one repeat at regular intervals from the people I was tested by in the last decade and a half (In no particular order: horse, ball, tree, pencil, snow, grass). I was told last time that they are meant to change them up, so the fact that I expressed surprise at a different word set means that the the previous three testers were likely not doing it right. I know I'm not as sharp as I was as teen as I used to do strings of 8-10 numbers reversed instead of 5-6 like I do now. Obviously, I don't have dementia, but they like to check Medicare recipients periodically just in case and my youth just means I can tell them no if I don't want to be bothered. Anyway, I know that test they gave him, as it was the last one I had, several years ago. It is DEAD EASY. It is literally testing for serious brain damage and doesn't have as many of the elements scavenged from the old IQ tests of my youth, as the broader assessments they do with disability screening. As long as there isn't a serious language barrier between tester and test subject, and the subject's hands were all right for drawing a clock face (I had a lover once with no hands and the prosthetic he had for the part of an arm he had on the one side was no good for drawing or hand writing, though he could type with it. I've had friends with CP and benign tremor who might have had a hard time with the mechanics for physical reasons), the only other reason it would be difficult is if something were seriously wrong. Bragging about not having serious brain damage or advanced dementia seems... odd to me, especially since he's making claims about what it proves that one can't really make about the broader spectrum tests that are mostly testing the ability to memorize in various forms. It just doesn't at all match the test and what it's for, so I must wonder is he lying or is he unable to understand the explanation of what that test is for. If he thought a so simple a kindergartner could do it test hard and was unable to understand the explanation of what the test is for.... Let us hope he is just lying as is his custom.

I have been trying to hold my peace on this, but it seems to be dragging on and on and I feel like there is a lot of false information 45 and allies are putting out about the significance of him getting all the questions right.

* Re: Rose McGowan. While I am glad she spoke up about Harvey Weinstein, I haven't forgotten that she's also a transmysogynist and so I must side eye her claims of being a feminist. My horror at the terrible things she went through at the hands of Weinstein and his minions doesn't erase the fact that she's never apologized to the trans community. These things can both be true: that she has survived real persecution from a man with power and mysogynistic harassment and threats for which she deserves empathy while at the same time she can be a shitty person who has used her own power to make trans women feel bad about themselves.

Which is why I've been mulling what to say as she makes the press rounds for her book. Is she as terrible as that shit, Seth Mcfarlane? No, but I'm always going to look at her and think about her willingness to shit on other women. It's why I can't wholly embrace Kate McKinnon despite her obvious talent, and why I'm uncomfortable with Gillian Anderson's resurgence for all she made an excellent Media. I feel like there's something fundamentally wrong with a person's feminism if it's not intersectional and that person is willing to self righteously harm the most vulnerable women in our society, and I feel like there is something fundamentally wrong with a person who, while oppressed can have no sympathy for someone else's oppression.

So it's complicated, and I don't know what the answer is. Something to think about, maybe.

* I would like to thank the person who suggested The Magpie Lord by KJ Charles. I am a sucker for low magic Victorian mysteries involving gentlemen who prefer gentlemen. This one has a rather classic gothic romance premise: disgraced younger son returns from twenty years abroad to a decaying country seat after the death of his father and horrible older brother to find he is cursed and a tangle of mysteries and family secrets to be solved if he is to survive. Only, with a bit of quality m/m romance and erotica instead of a female lead and heterosexual romance and erotica. It is very well written, with likeable characters, and interesting magical system, and surprisingly complex given the slenderness of the volume. I guessed the end, but I nearly always guess the end, and read it with enjoyment in one evening. I am looking forward to reading the sequels. TW: suicidal ideation early in the book.

* Re: The Superb Owl:
Y’all know I actively avoid football as much as possible, but I’m rooting for the eagles, not because I’m from Philly originally (One was required to appear to root for all four teams if one liked one’s limbs attached, but I considered this lip service a chore), but because I hate liars and cheats, which is what the Patriots are.

My late Uncle was the gentlest of men, but he was vehement about about Tom Brady, second only to his fury at Paterno and Sandusky. (His fury at Paterno pre-dated my birth, as he played for Penn State and knew what went on behind the scenes. His friends and acquaintances in the Pro Football world had brought his rumors of Sandusky. The extent surprised him, but not the crimes themselves). I have always trusted my Uncle’s judgement on all things football and having been a quarter back himself, I trust that when he called bullshit on the Patriots he knew the fuck he was talking about.

I hate that cheaters keep prospering in the NFL; it is a microcosm of what it wrong with our country.

* Right after Squirrel left for work, the TV died again. I tried all the things including shaking vigorously which sometimes works as it's clearly a loose wire thing. Which meant I had to get the spare out of the closet and into position in the living room by myself to even see if it was for sure the TV and not the cable. It was the TV. There is really no room for the monstrously large spare, which does not come close to fitting in the spot the normal TV goes. I had to clear out the gargoyle fountain and rewire things and untangle things and things are still not right and it is precarious and the Tavy guard that keeps him off my computer while I'm working cuts the sight line, but it works for temporary.

This has been a terrible week for equipment. Saturday night, while I was in the bathroom, I heard a crash. When I came out it turned out he'd dumped the expensive and thus irreplaceable 30 gallon light array into the tank, while lit, filling it with about a gallon of water and frying the electrical along with a depressing number of platys. The whiptail and pleco seem okay, I'm waiting to see if the colony survives. Remember how the long twenty light died a while back and I can't afford to replace it, so I've been working with inadequate back up emergency lighting on that tank? Well now I have one good array between three tanks. I'm rotating it, but it's not tenable. The plants are already dying in the 30.

Fuck.
