This is really important right now.

* Urgent Action Item: Contact your Congress Critters about sticking together.

My experience is they mostly just log for or against whatever it is, but if it's a rare case where they want arguments, tailor them to your target critter.

Contact your Senators and make sure they stand firm against dangerous nominees like Gabbard, Hegseth, Patel, and RFK Jr.

(That goes double if, like John Fetterman, your Critter is talking about bipartisanship over what's best for constituents and the country.)

If you have a democratic senator try to convince them to hang tight as a party in opposition instead of giving ground that will hurt people or the country.

If your senator is republican give it a try anyway. Argue national security, law and order, or please don't bring back polio or the like as is appropriate.

Contact your House of Representative member and beg them to stand firm against bills such as the ones intended to gut social security and Medicare in favour of tax give aways for billionaires and corporations and anything attacking bodily autonomy. (If they are republican go hard right if you have to give an argument.)

We need our Congress Critters to did their heals in and make them fight for every inch.

* I am not enjoying anything my body has done in the last two weeks, but here we are. If the pain level would even drop a couple notches everything would be a little more bearable.

I am emphatically not enjoying it looking like opaque black smoke is endlessly blowing in front of my eye or a there is a crack in a phone screen only in motion, but there is nothing to be done short of a dangerous eye operation. Once a floater happens, it's generally forever and this bastard is huge and placed in exactly the wrong place it what was my better eye, but isn't any longer. Sigh.

* "The Failure, Fear, And Frenzy around Luigi Mangione:"

* "Comparing Every Version of Nosferatu:"

( Embed: )

This is extremely good analysis and her perspective is valuable. I grew up with the Murnau and have watched it countless times since I was little. I've seen the Herzog not nearly as often, but I did see it within a year of it's release and watch it periodically as well. I was a kid when the Herzog came out and didn't really appreciate it until some point in my 20's.

I don't agree with quite everything in here and I think the new Nosferatu has a lot of things to say, particularly in the way it is trying to talk about gendered violence. At the same time? I was very disappointed they lost the dance macabre like sequences from the Herzog, because those were important and I think would have been relevant to us for the reasons this commentator enumerated.

For the record, Goth Millennial and I really liked the new one, but the audience we saw it with reacted in a way that suggested a lot of people are deeply uncomfortable with what's on the screen and aren't willing to engage with the complexities and ambiguities. I particularly liked how the movie was both doing it's own thing, but also clearly in dialog with the other two versions, much like I experience the Herzog in relation to the Murnau.

All versions of Nosferatu have problems. Addressing one set can open up a new set. That is true here. It was true with the Herzog.

Honestly? When the commentator was discussing the ways people had trouble engaging with the Herzog when it was new, reminded me a bit of sitting in an audience where half the people were experiencing the film in a way completely different from the way i process it.

I am wondering if discomfort and debate are not things essential to doing Nosferatu right. I think it's part of why something so influential on future filmmakers rarely gets remade along with the whole antisemitism problem. (You can't remake Nosferatu without trying to decide how to handle the anti-Semitism of the original. It's a tricky, tricky thing. Same with Dracula. hundred plus year old media can be landmines.)

Anyway, this Nosferatu comparison piece is excellent and I really appreciated the perspective and context.

* Primaries are ongoing:

NOTE: There is a call for people to vote "uncommitted" in the Democratic primary as a protest against Biden's Israel policy. The time to pressure Biden with your vote is now, not in November. The pressure from all the different types of protests do seem to be working, if far slower than we'd like.

NOTE 2: There is a similar protest against Trump where people vote for a candidate who isn't running. Check your state to see who people are promoting.

Puerto Rico (Republicans): 4/21/24

Pennsylvania: 4/23/24

Puerto Rico (Democrats): 4/28/24

Indiana: 5/7/24


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.

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

* 4/12/24: Today they sent a hard working my ageish Quebequois gentleman who was willing to mop and everything. I was his first gig on the app. He was charming to chat to, has children and a cat at home, was worried about my safety on the wet floors.

He flashed me the sweetest little smile when I asked if he was Quebequois, pronouncing it right, which he remarked on. Most Americans don't. We talked about his home city, which I'd visited and the beautiful diversity of French regional accents as well as educational reform and the feeding of cats.

I suspect his wife is a lucky woman.

Today also the swelling had gone down enough to wear the beautiful octopus shirt. This brings me up to three wearable shirts. I found another looking for something in my drawers for a housewarming gift for a Millennial Wednesday. This means i have three other shorts to try out to see if my arm fits okay in them instead of two.

I have clean sheets. Both tent shirts are in the wash as I type this, which is good as I got soup on one and had to fish the dirty one out to wear last night. the cats are having a nice afternoon watching birds and puttering about.

I got six hours of sleep most nights this week and eight on Thursday. I hadn't had eight hours since before the operation.

* 4/26: I expect to be about 50ish short on the up coming car repair and about 150 short for bills.

Not ideal, but could be worse.

* Tuesday I stayed up all morning with frustrating phone bureaucracy. Wednesday I managed to sort out the bare minimum on the extreior decorations. Thursday, I was frankensteining around because my legs were bad. I know I have a bunch of C7 bulbs somewhere, but I put thhem away somewhere clever last January. I also need a C5, apparently. I saw some Wednesday, not knowing I owned anything needing a C-5. Sigh.

Friday late, my oldest continuous friend arrives for the birthday celebrations. everything is a mess, but I did get most of the boxes back in the closet, except for the light boxes I still need to search. I strung the house lights for halloweentown Wednesday, but all the figurines are randomly located as no one was up to making it pretty, which means I can't finish garlands and lights in time for party weekend. Ah well.

I did at least wrap presents for my birthday. For new readers: we do a halloween party for my birthday and we do secret pumpkins and take turns opening presents. I think birthday parties are more fun if everyone gets something to unwrap, and I am an Old, so this is how we do.

If I am scarce over the weekend, this is why.

* Sunday we did a bunch more cleaning and then dropped off the car at the mechanic. It was good I did, as my belief we were down to the metal on the driver's side proved correct. This cost $450.00, which is quite literally everything except housing and autowithdraws.

There is now nothing at all for gas or any of the other bills. I need at least 150.00 to cover gas and a bill that I had to put off due to the previous car repairs last month. The rest will still need paying, but is less urgent.

* My oldest continuous friend is trying to raise money to buy games for a Cat Rescue fundraiser. This cat rescue is no kill and places most cats in foster homes until they can be adopted. They are good people there and it's a huge number of cats many needing basic or more serious healthcare.

* In person bureaucracy errand turned out to be disorientingly in the same building as and down the hall from the people who did my root canal. There was an extra fifteen minute wait, as the lady who unlocks the doors was out sick and the lady replacing here was from another office and didn't know she was meant to do it. I flagged down someone going in the employee door and asked when they were opening. “It opens at eight. What time is it?” “8:15. It’s still locked.” It was quickly sorted and the rest was way faster than the old process with the only wait being for copying, which I did not have to do myself, so wins all around even if I did have to deal with a much longer hobble and the dangers of stairs.

The place with the good veg and starts that closed last year reopened with much shorter hours and was only two blocks out of the way on my way home, so I went and sat for fifteen minutes while I watched them open up, scoring some nice tomato plants and fresh fruit and veg for cheap. The short hours mean we will go their rarely, but I am glad they are back.

The for profit people that took over payroll for home care givers so disastrously two Januaries ago, are jerking around a big chunk of home caregivers over pay for May and June. Head Millennial has email saying very specifically they aren't, but their website says they are, which will be a hardship for them and me both.

Things will be very rough the next few months if we can't sort it. (We are both trying to sort it, and have been for several weeks, but have made plans for the worst case).

For profit is so much worse than government direct control, but no one ever asks me about these things. Sigh.

Graduate student workers do a lot of the things professors do (grading, some teaching, particularly discussion sections, etc.), and being a grad student is incredibly expensive. Tuition is astronomically higher, and not always covered by grants, scholarships, etc.. The cost of books is massive even compared to undergraduates in the more expensive disciplines. (The books you need for things like advanced language classes and history cost almost as much as housing did for me in grad school per term). The same housing shortages and skyrocketing housing prices effect them as they do everyone else and on campus graduate housing tends to be super limited, especially if you have a spouse or family, which means dealing with expensive city housing markets).

I absolutely support the strikers. Universities use grad students and adjunct professors as a way to avoid paying for tenure track and tenured professors in the quantities they need. Seriously, given the geometric tuition inflation in my lifetime, most universities can afford to pay all their workers properly, they just chose not to.

* Thursday was really bad mobility wise. Bonus points for hours of intermittent Internet connection. Monday was astonishingly difficult physically as well for no apparent reason. Tuesday was a touch better. We have dropped off the car for the procedure. Let's hope Medicare transport goes okay.

* The car ended up being $450.00. When they lifted the assembly out, they discovered the spark plugs were close to the end, so they just charged parts to replace them. I vaguely remember this being what happened more than a decade ago, last time they redid this part of the car, so was rather expecting it.

I have raised 100ish towards the bills I didn't pay in order to fix the car. I'll need to sort out the exact size of the hole once everything settled..

My chronic illness stuff remains stunningly bad. I was going to explain what's going on, but frankly, it exhausts me. We are at the trapped on the kitchen floor weeping because I couldn't find the safe for me spaghetti pot and then discovered I couldn't get up level Wednesday. Thursday was supposed to be full rest after I got the car back in the morning, but Ha! No! People kept calling me, and then it turned out I'd forgotten to sign my check so I had to go back to the mechanic before the 5 O'clock close.

(One of the things I love about Honest Mechanic is their super strict business hours. They are opened 8-5 weekdays. Everyone gets a full hour of lunch and is paid what they deserve for their skilled labor. Everyone is treated decently and they are never asked to work even a minute early or late. No bothering people when they are off the clock. Work/life balance encouraged. I will weep when the owner retires, though it will likely be okay with his son in his footsteps. I noticed tonight his son is about the age the father was when I first went there, and looks so like him they could almost be clones. I love when businesses are ethical in every respect).

As I'd already spent the gas to go downtown, I forced myself to do pharmacy and library, since medicare transport only does to and from doctor's appointments, so no errands happened Wednesday. I am already weepy tired, and in pain. We have one week of special girl cat food left, and I have concerns. I think there may be enough gas to last the month. We'll see.
