Unfortunately, Mike Johnson is blocking it in the House because that is how much Republicans hate America and how much Republicans want to destroy our economy, probably for generations because of all the trading partners (and islands entirely inhabited by penguins) we have burned.

Everyone who ever told you Republicans are good on the economy was LYING to YOU.

That was last true when Nixon was President.

Ever since Reagan, I've watched Republicans crash the economy over and over, and Democrats start to repair the damage, then have Republicans voted in and yet again crash the economy.

It's what they do. They suck money out of the pockets of ordinary people while giving tax cuts to the very richest and making decisions that harm everyone but a handful of billionaires.

This time they broke the economy, the government, and Democracy, things they've been vowing to do since I was born.

They could literally stop the Trump tariff destruction TODAY but backing the Senate on ending Trump's authority to destroy the American economy by rescinding Trump's emergency declaration that gives him the Authority to do this to us.

IF YOU HAVE A REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE in THE HOUSE, CALL THEM NOW.

Make the phones ring off the hooks. I am begging you. Every hour that passes the harder it is to fix.

Here is a script for calling Congress Critters on tariffs: https://www.tumblr.com/errorschacha/779843646911643648?source=share

They are doing dramatic cuts to Medicaid to pay for tax cuts to Billionaires.

If this passes, people die.

They are sacrificing people for the billionaires that bought them.

It is essential to contact your Reps, especially if they are "Freedom Caucus."

I know this is counter intuitive, but they are challenging from the extreme right. Maybe try something like: the tax cuts are driving up the debt. IDK, I'm bad at working out how they think. You know your Congress Critter best.Seriously, call in to all republican reps. Make whatever argument works if they ask for one. For regular republicans try: cutting medicaid really hurts seniors on Medicare too, as a lot have both, or something similar.

* Our job for the next two years is to survive, to build grassroots resistance, to do all in our power to slow the republican Christo-fascist agenda, and to prepare for 2026 in case there is still Democracy.

We are trying to build a good list of resistance resources.

* Social Security call back last Monday was an obviously exhausted and beaten down sounding woman. I'm sure it's absolutely terrible over there with terrified and likely furious Seniors calling all day. I apologized for bothering her because the phone tree was gone. I was polite as it was possible to be and I also laced in appreciation for her hard work and all the hard work they do over there, sincerely meant.

At one point I gave a little cough as I was doing the thing where I slowly lower chest elevation in preparation for sleep. She started apologizing like I'd yelled. I felt terrible and told her she needn't apologize and it was just a cough. I reiterated that I new how slammed they must be and how difficult it all is. It really made me wonder how rough other callers were being with people who's livelihoods were threatened through no fault of their own, that she be so alarmed by a cough.

By the time I was thanking her for her public service and wishing her the best of luck at the end of the call there were a tiny bit of life in her voice.

It was a small thing, a tiny drop of the bucket, done in the same spirit that leads me to apologize to a customer service worker when the person ahead of me has been a dick because someone owes them a damned apology, and then crank up my politeness to eleven. Nobody deserves to be treated like that by a single asshole customer, let alone by their own government. I can't really fix that, but I can least do my best to convey that I see the other person as a human being and think they deserve better.

The treatment of government workers in this country makes me furious.

All I can do is signal boost and hope people keep fighting for them and for all of us.

* Tuesday I had one of my periodic mega torso muscle spasm things, which ate a couple hour until I could get it under control. Luckily is was after I ran a couple essential, time sensitive errands.

Wednesday I was still aftershocky, but at the minor inconvenience level. I did errands by myself as two Millennials were making their homemade lasagna on the grand scale. The lasagna was magical.

In other news, My Social Security didn't arrive. On two previous occasions when Republicans were dicking around with Social Security, it came a day or two late, but under the current circumstances it is extra concerning. Have I been declared dead? Deleted from the roles by a teenager who decided I was disabled enough? Or are payments just delayed by assholery, but not gone, gone? I actually have some hope it's just delay as I checked in with a friend on SSI who did get theirs.

Still, there is no way to fix it until my in person appointment and that will be too late for Housing auto-withdraw.

Let's all cross our fingers, shall we?

Update: Tim Walz's mom's check was late too.

Update 2: Check arrives.

* My sleep schedule is still messed up, but luckily the meds disruption was only one day. (On time is ideal, but I don't have to be the kind of strict a lot of people do. Approximate works okay with most of my stuff. That said, three hours off on an anti-nausea medication is a special kind of unpleasant.)

Saturday, we did errands in the morning, because I'm not the only one dramatically sleep disrupted. They are no longer shopping like a hurricane is coming, but the drivers are dangerous and there is a different kind of panicky going on at the grocery store, which is hard to categorize. We were at the big ethical grocery (The Employee owned one), and I noticed they had way more people on shift than is usual for even the first weekend of the month, which suggests they've adjusted to the panic buying and anticipated both in ordering staple foods and staffing how people were going to react to Trump crashing the economy this week.

I still need to hit two more stores this week for things about to be in short supply that are important and necessary. I am exhausted.

We did do a little errand each for me and Goth Millennial for which the other stayed in the car because we were exhausted. We were supposed to go downtown, but had very little left and both had groceries to put away. (Goth Millennial is being jerked around again and hasn't been paid in almost a month for aid work. Things are getting pretty gnarly here at the Cat Asylum, but nothing can be done just yet as we have to wait on things out of our hands. *gestures at Trump and Musk setting the government on fire*).

There was a big demo with thousands of people downtown proper near the courthouse/city hall, but we weren't up to it. There has been a regular Friday demonstration more central downtown for decades. We get a lot of other demonstrations on different days generally as well. This is a very left wing town. It's a small city, but we do love to demonstrate.

We did pass a small, separate demonstration on the was home, but they had hands off signs, so I waved and beeped.

I am double booked Tuesday for two time sensitive things that protect my benefits. (I tried to get wait listed. I tried to move the theoretically more moveable one. It is impossible, which doesn't surprise me. *gestures to the government being on fire* The appointments are 40 minutes apart on check in and about fifteen minutes apart for space. I am terrified I won't make it. My plan is to try to go very early for appointment one in hopes somebody cancels. I have already gathered the paperwork.

I am FUCKED if I miss either.

Then I get inspected on the 11th, a thing I am in no way prepared for, and can't get anyone to help with. *See Goth Millennial being not paid.* I have tried calling around for other help. No joy.

I believe people should not sign up to do a job and then refuse to do it.

However, supreme court is consistently siding with Christians refusing services to Queer people. They literally just decided that the law against discrimination is trumped by the right to discriminate in the 303 Creative case.

I have a nasty suspicion that they will agree health care providers are allowed to let us die if they discriminator is Christian. After all, they are happy to let people who are pregnant bleed to death in front of hospitals or die of sepsis according to the Dobbs Decision.

I’d love to be wrong, I really would, but I don’t think we should bet our lives on SCOTUS deciding that Christian Pharmacists and doctors and EMT’s aren’t allowed to deny us care and make us die for their religion. After all they have decided pregnant people regardless of faith or lake their of should be forced by the state to die for it.

* Meds Update: My notorious super sensitivity to drugs is possibly working in my favour for once. After the first two nights I was able to adjust to the bits of side effects. It very much is working. sub-clinical my ambiguous ass. I notice it's kicked in because it peels out about a third of the pain. I get about eight ours of prime relief and about four hours of lesser coverage. I am considering letting them scale up with the second pill to cover sleep. I'm worried about side effects scaling up too to something I can't handle still, but we'll see when we get there.

* The car is a good news/bad news situation. I was legitimately scared it was going to be the transmission this time, which is a death sentence for the car. I am disabled. I need this car for transport. There is no chance of me saving up the kind of money I'd need for a new used car.

It was not the transmission. It was, get this, the speed sensor. Which needed replacing. I have no idea why the speed sensor going wonky was messing the gear lights. Let us hope that's not a separate problem. In any case, the parts and labor was $250. They know me and the guy running it is a sweetheart, so they let me down pay what I had which was the fifty dollars I'd intended for gas and a birthday present for my sister. all I have left in my account is just enough to cover car insurance auto withdraw. I can't touch it or I get cascading overdraft fees so that's right out. This leaves two hundred I still will need to pay them.

I know, it's asking a lot. This is four total car repairs between me and squirrel in three months and y'all bought me a replacement stove last summer when mine went kaput, but here we are again.:

You know the terribly landlords I've had? I've rented from both of these. Landmark is the one that:

1. Tried to double cash my rent check, then charge me late and return fees because i didn't have enough money in my account to pay a second rent I didn't actually owe them on the grounds that "Once you give us a check there is no law stopping us from cashing it as often as we want. Luckily my bank was willing to fight them tooth and nail and in the end they had to pay my bank fees also. (Seriously I still do not understand how this is legal.)

2. Fought us over every repair then took our deposit because we had not paid an outside contractor to fix things like plumbing.

3. Never changed carpets on any units between tenets. They were nasty, torn, stained, and moldy. We noted this on move in sheets. They charged us to replace the carpets when we left, then didn't change them so they could pull the scam on the next tenets, which i discovered when i went to get a mis-delivered package from the second rental we had from them.

4. Black mold constantly bloomed on the walls, carpeting and ceiling.

5. The stairs were rotting wood and shaky. One day the railing came off in my hand. They reluctantly replaced it with naked, uncured wood. No weather coating or paint or shellac, just pine bits they bought at some hardware store. the same happened when my leg went through a rotted stair board.

6. a neighbor kid fell on some of the rusted rebar they had sticking up randomly in the front yard. A slightly different fall would have pierced something vital. They not only refused to pay medical bills, they refused to remove the rebar. Every time I tottered down the railing-less cement stairs where the kid fell I would look at the foot high rebar spike and wonder if my eye or neck or heart would be next.

7. The floor was spongy in the entry way when we moved in, something we expressed concern about and noted on the move in form. They said it was normal and nothing was wrong with it. The ceiling in the front wall leaked at that same second and last rental. We reported it and the electrical danger it was posing as the stair light out front was wired through it and it was a lot of water. This was because they improperly installed the balcony above, compromising the wall and ceiling. They insisted this was our responsibility to pay to fix even though it was preexisting and clearly nothing to do with us. They refused to fix it and threatened to charge us for it if we didn't fix the balcony in the upstairs unit, wall, leaks, and wiring for them. (I have no idea how this is legal, but here we are. We knew we weren't getting a penny of deposit back anyway.)

Remember the spongy floor? Right under the water rivulets coming through the ceiling. One day squirrel's leg went through. He could have died as it would have been an entire story drop onto the foundation if both legs went through. They refused responsibility for medical bills and tried to get us to pay to fix it, which we refused. The workmen came and were horrified. The reason the floor was spongy was there was no wood under it. I was impressed unsupported linoleum lasted the three or so years before it gave way. They said the entire underside of the building was rotting away similarly.

It took most of the week for them to replace the massive section of floor they had to remove, since they had to put in make shift pillars and such underneath and shore up the rotting floor, using our two man sized hole. we were terrified a cat would jump in there and get trapped. I couldn't get safely over the hole so I was trapped in the black mold riddled house with my failing lung patient lungs. Squirrel had to work, so he kept having to step carefully over it over and over. I am still amazed he survived.

Eventually, they put naked plywood over the hole and we never saw them again. We could lift the plywood plank with our fingers it not being nailed down. It would stake as I walked over it. They tried to charge us thousands of dollars to replace it even though we pointed out none of this was in anyway our fault. Odds are it's still dragging my credit store down.

8. They did replace the balcony eventually and plug the holes, but they never touched the wall with the wiring that was sodden through every time it rained until they did. I never trusted that light switch, so we simply had no porch light. Want to bet it is all black mold inside?

Families are still living there.

All of this is completely legal as there is no authority anywhere that stops it.

* Sunday, I made the mistake of absentmindedly lifting some things after the head Millennial went home. I realized what I was doing fairly early and started icing right away. I likely would have been okay if Tavy hadn't kept insisting he was allowed to sleep with his whole weight on my wound. I kept trying to discourage this and redirect him to less damaging positions. He kept pretending to comply and then creeping back onto the non-load bearing area of my body the moment I'd drift off. I'd catch him mid-creep and redirect him back to safe, bonier areas like my ribs.

Eventually, he "won." He landed with his whole weight on one paw directly to my wound. I woke up just early enough to anticipate the pain, but not prevent it. I yelled because it really fucking hurt, terrifying him, so it was a pyrrhic victory for the Emperor.

I iced it, but it was bad. I just managed to stay out of the ER and I'm a bit better, but still a mess.

* We are planning to use most of squirrel's tax rebate to get a working oven, but the dishwasher is also broken. (The dishwasher is a safety thing because I am medically fragile. Not having a working oven is playing havoc with my nutrition.) My share of the oven plus fixing the dishwasher will likely be in the $600-700 range.

* What is going on with the news postings? Basically, between the War and my health stuff, I not managing to post fast enough and I've got a ridiculous amount of the non-war links piling up. I am doing my best to rectify it, particularly where it comes to election, legislative, coup attempt, and LGBTQIA+ news, bit it always comes down to a race between the stuff already scaffolded, the stuff prepped, and the stuff coming in. I'm going to have to cut off the aggregate without most of the LGBTQIA+, science etc. news, but I am too tired to do that as of 4/1. I must sleep sometime. Anyway, that's why there is an above average amount of older stuff tucked in here. Apologies.

* Re: Cawthorn's Orgies: 1. Madison Cawthorn is a known and frequent liar. That being said, 2. He has corroboration from admittedly very shady roger Stone.

3. This is from the '80's and I have zero ways of knowing if it is still the case, but I knew a guy who used to do gigs as a bartender/sex worker at DC Parties involving lawmakers and the claims Cawthorn is making. Before you ask, no, I don't know which lawmakers of the period went to these parties as he never named names. He just said Republicans and democrats hired him. Again, hearsay from the late eighties, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm just saying that it is possible that Cawthorn's claims are at least partially true. This is not the same as saying they are, just that I wouldn't be surprised.

4. I admit that the way the republicans are reacting looks more like panic at getting called out on something at least partially true than innocent people reacting to lies, but again, this is a subjective response.

5. The contrast between this total freakout, whatever the veracity of the claims, and their lack of reaction reaction to literal Nazi and Nazi adjacent statements and behavior within their caucus is in itself a kind of indictment. Just saying.

* Our best reconstruction of what happened was the injury Wednesday caused serious inflammation, which caused bits to pop out again. I iced it and when the Doctors offices opened, i phoned in my symptoms to the surgeon. They ordered me to the emergency room. By the time they'd imaged me my bits had popped in again.

This is likely to keep happening if I'm unlucky or careless until the surgery sorts it. Sigh.

The cats were terrified, poor things. I kept seeing Livia's panicky face popping up over or around furniture to stare at me. Tavy was in the rarest of modes, the Angel Mode. He guarded from a distance for the three hours of the really bad stuff, and once things calmed down, very carefully stepped onto me, avoiding the damaged areas, made pillow biscuits instead of clawing my chest and stomach in hopes of milk, and settled sweetly in for a cuddle nap while I waited for phone time. he didn't hurt me even accidentally once.

I basically needed to spend about 36 hours in bed, only getting up for essentials like food, meds, and hydration. I still need to lie down at random with little warning, but I'm recovering.

* What with various emergencies, disruptions, and most of a month lost to quarantine, we got pretty far behind on myriad things here at the cat asylum. As of Sunday evening, the Head Millennial's pay is sorted, they have caught up on the back log of essential things to keep the household running, and they have gotten things cleared and planted so that the container garden is ready for spring.

They really went above and beyond this week, coming in for short shifts on more days to make sure I was all right during the medical emergency.

I tire easily, and for safety's sake am not bending or lifting, but my shift is considerably more together. I hate this, but I think the time bomb could have gone off at any point in the last couple of years. It just happened to be at the end of a particularly shitty two years medically. Ironically, none of my medical stuff was COVID which is absolutely a miracle of science and kindness on the part of the Millennials. Let us hope things improve and we can avoid further excitement until my surgery slot opens.

* Me explaining on Tumblr why so much Secondary school teaching of history is bad in the US:

The real answer is English Teachers. They hire English teachers to teach Core instead of hiring English Teachers to just teach English and Social studies teachers to teach History in a lot of places in the US school system.

English teachers are not trained how to teach History well; they are trained to teach English. A lot of them don’t like or care about history, so they just teach whatever often ancient text book the underfunded school system hands them in a half assed way.

If you are hiring one teacher to teach both subjects, see, you hire the English teacher because Republican “Back to Basics” school reform is designed to emphasis English and Math and do everything possible to fuck up Social Studies/History and Science teaching because the last thing they want is an educated electorate well versed in things like research, evaluating evidence, analysis, and critical thinking.

They’d abolish both disciplines if they could in public schools. They are actively trying right now with the wave of censorship laws that make it illegal to teach students anything factual about US history. see also the endless attempt to ban evolution being taught and “teach the controversy” bullshit intended to give parity to religious texts in science classes. It’s all part of the same thing.

People who are dual certified in Social studies/History and English are rare and most of those come from an English Literature academic background instead of having a bunch of history degrees like I do. Those of us who really love teaching Middle School History/Social Studies have an extremely hard time getting hired, since we aren’t getting hired for core positions no matter how good we are, which leaves those schools that separate their English and History. My strong academic background in history made me a less attractive and more expensive hire than a mediocre English teacher with no teaching experience for those core jobs.

So there’s the real answer.

English teachers are not the villains here by the way. They need to eat and pay back student loans too. It’s just they are trained to teach English. That’s where their passion is. I’m angry at the policies that fuck over generation after generation of students.
