* Primaries are Ongoing:
Important! Remember to vote in all primaries, not just presidential!!!

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.

NOTE 3: Important non-Presidential Primaries are also ongoing! Vote the whole ballot!

Maryland, Nebraska, West Virginia: 5/14/24 (Senate and House Primaries as well! Important!!!)

Georgia, Kentucky, Oregon, Idaho: 5/21/24 (House Primaries as well! Important!!!)

Idaho (Democrat): 5/23/24

Texas (Run Off Election): 5/28/24

Iowa (House Primary), District of Columbia (Democrats), Montana (General Primary, Important), New Jersey (General Primary, Important), New Mexico (General Primary, Important), South Dakota: 6/4/24

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.

* It's been a truly terrible several weeks here at the Cat Asylum. A longer explanation is below. I have literally weeks of newslinks I haven't posted. My body is doing incredibly painful things. On top of the brakes emergency, we've had snow bad enough to knock out power in a bunch of places in town and imprison me likely for at least another week, and we've had some of the wiring fry, an expensive prospect that I haven't much hope of solving short of a miracle.

So 2021 continuing the streak, really. I have reached the fuck it point and am posting the aggregate with the understanding I'm sitting on I'd guess 100-200 prepped links that aren't included and that weeding and sorting are likely a bit rough.

* Today I learned that Tumblr forcing me to look at the severed lady bits and buttocks from behind ad is significantly less disturbing than the dismembered anatomically correct torso, though still very do not want. I want to be clear that I don't judge people who buy these sex toys, I just think the images should be opt in.

* I've been thinking a lot about the Figure Skater, now choreographer, Kurt Browning. There were a lot of figure skaters I loved in his era, but there was something about him that really made him linger in my mind. I think that special something was that he fundamentally looked like he loved what he was doing. Oh, he definitely wanted to win, and he had bad skates like everything else, but that fundamental love was baked into his choreography, into his artistic expression, into the style of every element. It radiated out of him in interviews too.

The longer he skated both as an amateur and professional, the stronger his personal voice was in his work. He didn't always make choices to my taste. That happens when you have a strong and particular artistic voice. Still, I adored so many of his routines and even the ones that weren't for me were memorable.

At some point after he started to do choreography, some skater would come back from summer training completely transformed. They wouldn't be skating like him, but they would be skating with a new joy and with their own clear voice. They would have new routines that fit them like gloves, that helped them reach out to the audience, that gave them a particular magic they'd never had before. I would watch them and think "I wonder if they've been working with Kurt," and they almost invariably have.

What a beautifully gift to give the world.

I've no idea what he's like as a person beyond his public persona, but damned if he hasn't had a beautiful ripple effect in the world.

* So this is what's going on with me. My AS has been really terrible the last two months. It's hard to explain the level of debilitating too someone who's body works. To give yo and Idea of how hard basic stuff is, on the twenty third, it took me four hours to get dressed and do physio. My legs kept buckling as I shuffled about trying to do the bare minimum as far as feeding cats, fish, and myself. I literally scream from pain and nearly went over when I tried to feed Livia.

It's why the post schedule is so weird and I why I have...idk a couple weeks of link back log as of this writing. I am doing what I can, but even my high pain threshold ass can't make this work. The barometer has been yoyoing, and that generally just fucks me up.

So on the twenty forth, I was going to run out to grab a last minute thing before the store closed with the last of my EBT. Three hours for dressing and physio, two cats in cling mode. To give you an idea of the cling level, I was trying to put my shoe on, got as far as one sock and getting a shoe half on when Tavy leapt onto me and proceeded to nap in my arms. Me: Well I guess I'm doing lungs before instead of after the errand.

I was latter than I meant, but surely the shop was still open, right? We're a fairly secular college town. It is not that cold, but I step out to find flurries and a thin layer of snow on my car, though none sticking yet on the ground. I grew up with snow. the quality of the air and the look of the flurries told me they would be sticking soon. I figure I should be fine on a fifteen minute errand, but I'd been snowed in all weekend.

The temperature kept dropping noticeably; the snow was coming faster. Shop was closed. I likely would have made it if I'd fought Tavy over the shoes, but no matter. I'd guess I was gone five to seven minutes and it was brutal cold and coming down hard by the time I'd parked again. Squirrel had work and the driving was scary. I'd guess we got six inches, which is a lot in a town where the only people with snow tires either regularly commute over the Mountain pass or are skier/snowboarders. Our large town/small city has a snow plow, but they hit the big streets first, and generally the snow is melted before they get streets like ours, our worse the last three streets I lived on. My current street is an increasingly busy feeder instead of the true back streets I've always lived on between coming North and this place. Saturday it warmed up just enough for what little melted to freeze over after dark making it incredibly unsafe after. Squirrel was white as a sheet when he got home from work 7ish Sunday morning. It had snowed hard all night and my end of town the wind was so high it was blowing nearly horizontal. The cats sat in the window watching in fascination. It did that all day, i suspect, as it was still going past noon when I looked.

Luckily Squirrel didn't have work, and I don't leave the house unless all paths and streets are clear except for emergencies as I don't want to break anything or tear ligaments. The snow it utterly beautiful, but I'm someone finding the hobble to the bathroom challenging, and i don't want to go to the ER and spend a month laid up like last time.

Except the fire alarm kept going off. Nothing was on fire. I'd been trying to get him to change the battery in his detector for a couple of months, but he kept spacing it. I knew it wasn't mine as I changed them last... it was before I got my second shot end of March, so I'd say less than a year ago, but not by a lot. The little detectors are wired to the big ones. It went on for hours, waking people up, terrifying cats. I finally gave him a battery, because I had one, being exactly that sort of anal retentive and the chirping will drive me bats because of my sensory stuff. (I hate being caught without an emergency 9 volt). A couple hours passed, but I could hear it chirping in his room again and it went off again, because of course it did. He pulled it out, which the management company hates. his theory is it's old and the equipment needs replacing, so I guess I'm staying up to deal with them.

I am tired and everything hurts, and I've lost track of how long the aggregate posting gap is. I am sorry. It likely won't be any better until the weather evens out.

* Tuesday I went to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, flipped on a switch, and there was a flash of light and blue sparks. Attempts to flip the fuse elicited more of the same. This means no microwave, not bathroom or kitchen lights, no small appliances, no bathroom electricity at all. We suspect the wiring's fubared. squirrel is wondering if this it what was setting the fire alarms off. So I'm staying up to call iyt in, but i haven't much hope of a solution any time soon with snow and the holidays.

We've been waiting for nearly two years for them to connect squirrel's bathroom vent to the outside. They took three years not to fix a hole they put in my ceiling. I gave up and paid for fixing it myself. Who wants to bet they don't consider wiring burning in the walls an emergency?

* ...And We’re hosed. Even though the contracts said things inside the walls are them, they are making us pay for the wiring.

I have no idea how we’re going to manage it. I have no idea what it will cost even to get an estimate.

Bonus and extra 70.00 uncovered copay came in. Why the fuck not?

are there any lawyer friends/legal aid places that might remotely type up an official-sounding letter for free?

* FAQ: Everyone is asking some version of: "Are there any lawyer friends/legal aid places that might remotely type up an official-sounding letter for free?"

( They answer to this and what we are doing is very, very long and complicated: )

Wishful thinking though and best not to plan on it, so I am focusing on practical stuff like how to learn to live without non-major appliance power in the darkest parts of the Cat Asylum, and setting long term solutions in motion (See Parts One and Two).

You see why I’ve been short handing it. :)

* I am so used to normal blackouts that I am having a vaguely surreal time dealing with the current crisis. This is not a complaint, just an observation. The house we moved into just before I started high school was super prone to blackouts, just like the part of town where I've lived a majority of the time since I moved up here for third college, used to get regular black outs. The ones back East could be a day or two long, and happened a bunch of times in the November through December with such regularity, we all had assigned blackout chores in my family. We get little black outs here all the time, also most in November or December, but blackout season starts in October and runs until true spring. Most years we lose power all night at least once. Sometimes we have a good year or a bad year. Sometimes it's a day or two, but that's rare.

I'm that person with emergency candles and battery lanterns and black out contingency plans, so I have a battery lantern where I can grab it entering the bathroom with what light reaches from the living room. I have a stronger lamp set up further in that I can use the cheap light to find. (If the cheap light breaks it's not a big deal. I don't want to risk the expensive light where I can knock it off and break it easily or near water.) It a good spot to grab it if I need it in the kitchen. I'm basically living off stockpiled emergency vegetarian cup of soups because low mobility/low visibility stove top cooking is harder than it sounds because while I can navigate in there okay, it's hard to see details and the counters are in shadow. The range light and hood are dead, which means things like pasta aren't a good idea. I can make tea and cup of soups safely so it's that and cold foods and energy bars right now. I may branch out into stove top regular soup heating, but I can't walk away and sit down while I do that.

I desperately needed a bath so in the period Wednesday midday while I was waiting for return emails and phone calls, I took a bath. That's the surreal part. I've had power go out mid bath a bunch of times. I have a protocol for it. Turn off water (to save what hot water is left) and motor (so it doesn't turn on when the power does. I think there's a safety shut off when power goes out, but I don't want to chance it. Turn on the good emergency bathroom lantern (Stored where I can easily grope it in the dark, but where it's apt to stay safe from falls and water). Finish shampoo and rinse. Turn off any other switches that were on. Use the good emergency lantern to do last meds and set things up as far as bedroom emergency lighting for when I inevitable shamble out later to pee or if I'm unlucky and have to start the next meds cycle in the semi dark.

So water heater's on a dedicated circuit. So is my tub. I don't worry about either as they were city inspected at the beginning of the pandemic. It was so fucking weird to have hot water and the hydrotherapy motor going while bathing by light of a battery lantern. Did my head in, it did.

(Long term readers may remember the city buying me a new tub and my doctor managing to talk them into jets for my back and shoulders on medical grounds. These have been a life saver given how much my joints have deteriorated in the intervening twoish years. It was a whole saga that involved most of the plumbing and a bunch of appliances being replaced along with small stuff like us getting working exterior doorknobs).

Nearby Millenial has spiked hiking boots and lives a long block away in my old complex, so came for her shift. She also has a head lamp. (She's legally blind, but has low vision and walks around at night, so has things like a reflective safety vest and a powerful headlamp. She does chunk of her job by touch and she is very, very good as an Aid. Not kidding 10 out of 10). Picture her doing the dishes with her headlamp on. Picture us endlessly moving from dark to light flipping dead switches. She did a brilliant job today.

Still so fucking surreal to watch her doing it.

unless we are super super lucky in the morning, This will likely be how it is for weeks or months. If we are unlucky, this is our life now. I will get used to it, but it's strange.

It was just weird.
