* "Why Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About a Third Term:" https://archive.ph/Zrx6X

It's unconstitutional, but that won't stop him. He's been floating this idea since his first term. It's likely a way of priming his next coup.

* "Taxpayers' Tab For Trump's Second-Term Golf Excursions Crosses $26 Million Mark:" https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-golf-again-26-million_n_67e6c885e4b0f69ef1d3886c

It seems to me that things like these and all the sweetheart deals Elon Musk is giving himself is the real government waste. Let's save things like teacher education and measles vaccinations instead of spending it on crap like this.

* On a related note. "Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook:" https://apnews.com/article/noem-travel-taxpayers-south-dakota-homeland-security-c2655e00a16d44bba46c60a14a638f5d

* I'm putting this here because of the way it lies on the intersection of possible corruption and a complete lack of empathy. "How Kristi Noem’s $50,000 Rolex in a Salvadoran prison became a political flash point

* "DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse:" https://www.wired.com/story/doge-rebuild-social-security-administration-cobol-benefits/

* "DOGE Plans to Rewrite Entire Social Security Codebase in Just ‘a Few Months’: Report:" https://gizmodo.com/doge-plans-to-rewrite-entire-social-security-codebase-in-just-a-few-months-report-2000582062
Do you trust them not to steal the data, given how at least one of the hackers he hired has a history of working with cyber criminals and another was fired from a company because he leaked information?

Do you think people claiming to be so incompetent at their job that they lied and are still lying that COBOL error messages are somehow proof of massive fraud on a large scale to update a program written in COBOL?

Do you trust them not to completely fuck up the new website either through incompetence or on purpose as a way to steal people's benefits, maybe declare people dead or delete them for "fraud" if they don't like their last names or where they live?

Do you think using AI in code that is vital to the survival of so many Americans is a good Idea?

From the article:

"The DOGE team has already been reportedly running highly sensitive government data through AI, as the Washington Post reported last month, so why not use it to cheat-code your way to a more modern programming language? The reason, of course is the risk of cascading failures during any rush-job that might mean missed payments or beneficiary information getting wiped from the system entirely."

This is utterly terrifying, especially given the fact that they've already completely funked up Social Security phone service. How do I know? Just over a month ago, I called to do the quick phone tree to get a proof of income from them, something I have to do multiple times a year because various programs want them and they need to be very recent. The phone tree had been noticeably improved since last time I'd used it in the fall. When I called today 3/31/25, they had completely removed all the quick phone tree options.

They took a service that was completely automated in the last ten years, and thus super cheap and already in place, for people with a bunch of routine, common, queries and yanked all that out, requiring people to get in line for a live person. Last time I needed live agent service it took about five hours to get back to me.

They are lying that this is about efficiency and saving money. Leaving the automated system in place is dramatically cheaper than paying people to answer, especially at a time they are firing people.

This is meant to break the system and force the people who need their benefits the most out of the system.

Musk has given the goal of stealing Social Security benefits away from people who earned the benefit and actually need it:

"“In fact, what we’re doing will help their benefits,” Musk said. “Legitimate people, as a result of the work of DOGE, will receive more Social Security, not less. I want to emphasize that. As a result of the work of DOGE, legitimate recipients of Social Security will receive more money, not less money.”"

The only way that happens is to take it away from the majority of recipients. You know the people Lutnick claims are fraudsters if they complain at the theft of their rent and electricity bill money recently.

"A central part of ACL’s purpose has been oversight of state protection and advocacy agencies for disabled people, providing grants for approved independent living centers, support for employment programs for disabled people, and assistance with adult protective services—all with the goal of helping disabled and aging people live successfully within their communities, rather than in institutions."

This is intended to stop elderly people and people with disabilities living with dignity in their homes so that he can force them into institutional settings where they will die so much faster.

Do you remember how fast disease rips through nursing homes? How many die with each wave.

This is about cruelty and eugenics.

If he cared about health, he wouldn't be doing this.

I beg of you all to please complain.

“Congress should not pass legislation handing the Trump administration vast and vaguely worded authority it may use to further intimidate, coerce and inflict chaos on schools, hospitals, local police, and other institutions that our communities rely on,” the letter states. “Nor should Congress, through this legislation, concede its ‘power of the purse’ — a vital aspect of our constitutional balance of powers that is perhaps more important than ever.”

* As has been the case since January, the sort may be a little rough. News keeps moving fast, so some items may be already out of date.



* I think I need to say this again because of what is going on in my Tumblr notes. I am against the rape, torture, and murder of civilians, especially children REGARDLESS OF WHO IS DOING IT. Yes, that means Hamas. Yes, that means the IDF/Israeli government. It also means the US Military. It means ANYONE doing it.

I can be against it whoever is doing it.

Opposing Netanyahu for his horrific policies does not mean I hate Jewish people. Being against the things that were done to civilians on October 7 doesn't mean I hate all Palestinians, nor that I support genocide. I am very much against genocide whoever is doing it. See also my opinions on the Holocaust, what Russia is doing to Ukraine, the horrific shit my government and Canada's and Australia's did to indigenous people over centuries.

I can be against Netanyahu the way I am against Trump, Putin, and Viktor Orbán.

The Israeli government is a government. It is wrong and antisemitic to blame every Jewish person everywhere in the world for things they may not support and didn't have a say in unless they specifically support and/or voted for Likud or one of the right wing parties they coalition with. Jewish people inside and outside of Israel have been and are protesting war crimes the Israeli government has committed. It is possible to have a nuanced understanding of Israeli politics.

It strikes me as pretty weird to claim all Jewish people only have one opinion about everything and to call me antisemitic for opposing one particular politician for doing things that are harmful.

I do, in fact, want all hostages free, both the ones Hamas have and the ones the Israelis have. It sure looks to me and to a lot of people, including some rather vocal families of hostages, that Netanyahu has deliberately and repeatedly stood in the way of this happening for personal political gain and so that he can stay in power and out of jail for corruption he's credibly accused of.

My holding this opinion is very similar to my opinion of Donald Trump. Just saying.

I want Netanyahu out of power because that is the only way there is a chance of anything getting better in that part of West Asia. Which is the goal. I have been in favour of the two state solution since I was old enough to understand, which is longer than a lot of you have been alive, or at least longer than many of you have been old enough to follow the news. I have seen good and bad Israeli and Palestinian leaders come and go. I've seen Netanyahu break agreement after agreement over for decades whenever he's been in power. I don't trust him to make an agreement he will follow any more than I trust Trump to make one, especially when Netanyahu's personal agenda conflicts with that agreement, because that is how he has behaved over and over, including him not holding up his end of the ceasefire just recently.

My side is not that of one government, not even my own. My side is the greater good and the lets not murder children side. It pretty much always has been.

Republicans keep claiming Hillary having recipes and social stuff plus some things later designated sensitive on a private server is so much worse than inviting a reporter to a text chat on their private phones using a commercial app instead of a SCIF or the situation room, endangering the lives of military pilots and revealing an information source on the ground in Yemen.

Like, yes, she shouldn't have done that, but this is running a stop sign versus driving drunk at high speed the wrong direction on a highway.

They definitely knew they were doing the wrong thing because several of them attacked Hillary back in 2016 over her server and Matt Walz himself sent out warnings about Signal and threats against leakers days previously.

Why are the recipes "Lock her up" worthy, but this Republican clusterfuck isn't even worth a slap on the wrist?

You know how I said sending Venezuela refugees to El Salvador for 'crimes' like having a soccer team tattoo and being gay by labeling them gang member terrorists was a trial balloon for summary deportation of anyone Trump wants to with zero due process?

It was.

It's the same tactic the right wing always uses to steal civil liberties. Trans people are a tiny percentage of the population, so a lot of people don't know any personally. Trans people = low hanging fruit for the right. So they demonize trans people accusing even our children of being sex predators for just existing, then use the hate they whipped up over lies to ban books and anyone LGBTQIA+ from public spaces and claim anyone who disagrees is a pedophile, so that the people who should be standing up to Christo-facists abandon principle by principle until it's to late and the Right comes for them.

This is the same sort of thing, Round up a bunch of Venezualan refugees and rendition them without legal justification or due process while demonizing them to whip up hate they can use to move the Overton window towards fascist autocracy so they can do this to anyone they want.

Poof all civil liberties are gone. Refugees = low hanging fruit to the right.

Stand up NOW while you still can.

The details are scary and blatantly unconstitutional, but I don't trust we still have rule of law.

It over rides the constitutionally protected right of states to run their election, throws out millions of legally cast votes, and puts the entire election in the hands of the President.

Basically, it's a way to let Trump and Republican successors finally put an end to free and fair elections while still pretending to hold them, like the other autocrats generally do.

The IRS collects taxes. If you decimate the IRS, they can't go after rich tax cheats, since that takes lots of hours of work by skilled auditors.

To give an idea of how much not collecting taxes from billionaires is going to cost, one of the people recently laid off by billionaire Elon Musk in the name of "efficiency" personally won back more than 8 million dollars over the years. (This isn't from this article, but from Msnbc reporting... last week? Maybe the week before. Anyway, it stuck in my head as illustrative).

Basically, IRS auditors make back way more money than it costs to pay them. The more money we invest in auditors, the more money rich people refuse to pay that they owe goes back into the treasury.

Every time Republicans cut the IRS budget and clain it's for cost saving, they are lying. It is always about the rich, who are already not paying their share getting to illegally pay even less, while people who actually work and pay their taxes get more and more of the social safety net ripped away from them.

The original plan was to only give them to middle class and higher income people, instead of the people who's services are being cut as a result of the cruel and often illegal cuts.

Now they are saying maybe they will have to be smaller because they aren't really saving much money.

I will believe these supposed stimulus checks when I see them. It sounds a lot like lies they told to make killing Social Security go down easier as if a small one time payment most people on social security won't even get will make of for all the people becoming homeless when their rent money doesn't arrive.

They have postponed smashing Social Security until Monday on the grounds they did zero trainings, fired the people that would be writing the program that doesn't exist yet, so... Yeah.

There is a rush to do it as, if the agency is still functional on April 2, they will have to actually send people their money and the Republicans absolutely don't want to do that, hence them aiming for the 1st of the month.

UPDATE: They were forced to postpone until the 14th. Keep complaining.

So the argument is, if you complain because you need your social security money for rent, electricity, etc. and they stole it, you are a fraudster who doesn't deserve it, and if you are rich enough not to need it so you wait and don't complain you doesn't need it and shouldn't get it, therefore no one should get the social security payments they earned and need to survive.

Welcome to Catch 22.

see also, this is why people who have never been actually poor in their lives should be allowed into positions of power where they can do this kind of harm.

I am completely fucked if my check doesn't come. They start assessing late fees for housing after seven days. The Bank fee for this auto-withdraw will likely overdraw my account. No gas, no electricity. My insurance will try to auto-withdraw mid-month causing bank fees to continue to grow exponentially. I am contractually required to have insurance on my apartment. I can't cancel it. I can't drive without gas or car insurance and I am disabled with very limited mobility. A bus pass costs about a months gas an requires lots of walking I can't do or someone else doing a lot of walking pushing my in a chair because my arms are fucked too.

No supplemental food or medical supplies or cleaning stuff or toilet paper or things the cats absolutely need. No credit card or other bill payments.

Not paying any bills for one month would dig me into a hole I could never get out of. With all the staff cuts and closures, how many months would it take to get reinstated? Will I automatically be labelled a fraudster and be denied reinstatement for the crime of being to poor to float all my bills for months?

The goal is to drain the treasury of valuable assets to give Trump and a handful of his mega-donors by buying up their scam bitcoin. This will be a massive transfer of taxpayer money directly into the pockets of billionaires.

* "Trump administration transferring student loan, nutrition programs out of Education Dept:" https://archive.ph/iytkd

The SBA is a lot smaller than the education Department and is already swamped. They have zero experience doing any of this.

Students Loans and Grants are how nearly everyone not born so rich they can pay cash upfront goes to college. Clogging this system to uselessness stops a whole lot of talented and hard working people from getting degrees.

Kids can't learn very well if they are too hungry to con concentrate. starving them of essential nutrients causes long term learning delays and health issues. This is designed to keep the children of the poor sick and poor and combined with strangling the student loan program is a way to deny them a life time of opportunities.

This is the rich pulling up the ladder of success after them to prevent everyone else achieving a decent standard of living.

* Bonus they are dumping this on the SBA while slashing it to ribbons as part of their plan to crush small businesses to help the Billionaires who bought Trump:

* Thursday a week ago, I had thought I was likely going to crash again 2AMish as I woke up exhausted, headachy, with all my joints screaming at me, but it got better about 2-3, so I soldiered on and got the aggregate out. Friday, I was well enough to do almost bare minimum physio, which I'm counting as a win.

My hopes of being super productive Friday night failed, alas, but for good reasons. The cats were doing Peaceable Kingdom in my bed, so I read most of Tidal Creatures while administering pettins on demand and cuddle naps for cats. I also had a bunch of small things needing doing I'd been in too much pain to handle around the Cat Asylum, which I spaced out in classic chronic pain fashion in between rests. Also I fell down a medieval history rabbit hole for about an hour. <.< >.>

Tonight was I was also migrating another function across to Killian laptop, and inevitably diving in and out of settings as I found things needing tweaking. This is why it generally takes several weeks to get a lap top going right, and this time having to use waterfox classic instead of standard waterfox meant I had to rethink job distributions, since a bunch of extensions don't work on classic. Limited utility means I need to switch some functions for other browsers. It's mostly sorted now, though I may need more tweaks.

Part of why Thursday worked out so well for me is I'm getting better at the new work flow pattern, so certain things can move a little faster.

So progress, basically, even though it feels like running on sand.

* Thursday this week, I had to stay up for painful x-rays and doctor prodding, as well as to have blood taken. The x-rays were incredibky painful as my hip joint are terrible right now and it's a lot of standing in fixed positions. My shoulder joint healed correctly. I have been released in the wild to do more at home physio. I am to focus particularly on inward motion, which means I will need to get creative. Sigh.

* So about a week and a half ago, a friend sent me NasalCrom to see if it could make a dent in my chronic sinus infection/sinusitis situation. It's really impressive, as it turns out. My sinuses have been slowly draining, which is not pleasant, but neither was several years of sinus headaches and the constant need to manually drain them 1-3 times a day depending on how much worse my allergies to Outside are making things. This, at least is progress towards an actual solution.

TMI after this point.

"The variant was identified in China in February 2023 and was first detected in the United States in April. It is a descendant of the Omicron variant XBB.1.9.2 and has one notable mutation that helps it to evade antibodies developed by the immune system in response to earlier variants and vaccines. That advantage may be why EG.5 has become the dominant strain worldwide, and it could be one reason Covid cases have been rising again.

That mutation “may mean that more people are susceptible because the virus can escape a little bit more of that immunity,” Dr. Pekosz said."

"Data released this week on X (formerly Twitter) by scientists in China showed that BA.2.86 is so different from previous versions of the virus that it easily escapes antibodies produced in response to earlier infections — even more than EG.5 does. The data (which have not yet been published or peer-reviewed) suggest that the updated vaccine will be less effective against it, too."

* Sometimes when other Olds are complaining about young people and their phones, I think about the Student Union at my first college in the days just before email happened to ordinary people.

It was a very small school and the student union was basically a very large basement, with an eatery, a mail room, and a bunch of seating areas. The mail room was central and four times a day they delivered mail. You might ask, "How was there enough mail to deliver four times a day, when the post office delivers once a day?" Most of it was junk. You got the real mail once a day and the rest was fliers and things for activities, messages from Profs or other students, that sort of think. Most of it went right into the conveniently placed recycling bins.

I admit, like everyone else, I'd turn up for the big distribution of outside mail as you had to catch package delivery when the window was open, and given the poor taste and nutritional value of the crap in the cafeteria, something edible from home was a Big Deal.

Four times a day though, the students would gather if they weren't in class in the seating areas closest to the mail boxes. Some benighted souls would hover, hover, right in front of their boxes, listening excitedly for the squeak of the sort cart and the rustle of the student workers on the other side, eyes fixed on the tiny box window.

These people knew perfectly well that the other three deliveries were 80-90% junk mail. They sat or stood, desperate as baby birds waiting for the worm anyway.

People haven't changed, they are just waiting for a ping instead of a squeak and rustle.

Human nature is human nature. I think a lot of people from before email and texts are forgetting that they too have run to the mailbox when they saw the USPS truck or mail person put stuff in, or dove for the letters lot hoping for something good, or hovered by a campus mail slot knowing odds were it was all or mostly trash. I try not to forget that, even though I stopped hovering after a week or so, even though if I check my email more than once a day it's a lot, even though I don't text. Who the fuck are we too judge? We've all done the analog version even if we aren't currently doing the digital and I feel like a lot of people who were email users but not frequent texters are pretending we all didn't refresh email like 8 times a day in the '90's.

* Saturday we wore ourselves out with necessary errands. I needed algae wafers for the plecoes and some special girl food to tide Livia over. They had her shreds but not her kibbles there. (As I bought the last two bags of kibbles at the local last month, she likely has about a month of kibbles left, but with today I think the bird flu may have fucked the cat food supply and for Livia, the choice is a small number of turkey dominant limited ingredient foods or going back on the even more expensive prescription stuff. There are three more places I could try left, but gas is low and two of them are further out and one is super expensive.

All this is made worse by Livia having what is likely a psychiatric crisis, but could be early signs that her renal system may be failing again. Let us hope it's psychiatric, because that won't kill her and I think she's doing a little better tonight. There have been a lot of visitors and schedule disruptions, plus me being sick. That's a lot of stress for a cat who super extra is bad at change and gets stressed easily. Her urine remains normal, but her high anxiety behaviors aren't that different from the behaviors the time she almost died when she was a little over a year old, so I worry. She was eating almost normally tonight, so I'm still in the likely stress camp. *fingers crossed*

Anyway, OTC was right next to the way too hot pet supply store. I somehow miscalculated the tax again and also forgot surgical masks, of which I have nearly run out. @$&#!

The good cheap ethical grocery is right there, so I used the motor cart because most of me wasn't working well at this point. Inevitably, I forgot some things, but there were tiny oranges on sale and I have partially restocked some essentials.

My nails are doing almost okay for the first time in ages, so Goth Millennial painted them a subtly sparkly purple for me, just in time for social stuff with some of the Millennials.

I'm still not really caught up from all the spring car repairs. I am already seeing way more things I can't not buy like gas, litter, and probably kibbles and we are moving into the super expensive part of the year (September-January), where I have a bunch of extra things I can't not do like the oil/radiator thing my car now needs every six months, tabs, housing tax, Gothmas season). I had such high hopes when the COLA went up in January, but between the car and the extra electrical costs... yeah.

I'm not drowning. Not yet. It's been two straight years of everything breaking. I could sure use a year of nothing breaking. This was the first summer since the start of the pandemic I didn't need surgery in the summer. Let's hope the car and apartment follow suit.

* Me watching remastered Frankenstein 1931: Elizabeth, why are you trying to marry a gay man with no interest in you even if he did propose when you have offers from men actually attracted to you?

Much Later, Elizabeth: Something is coming between us!

Me: It's his preference for playing with men's bodies!

* "Building Full of Memories:"

( Cut for Sad Stuff: )

* Tuesday an actual cleaner arrived. The kitchen is very clean. When she was moping, Livia peeked out at the wrong time and the Stranger saw her glowy eyes in the shadowy depths of her fortress of Solitude. This was understandably distressing to Livia. Tavy, on the other hand, made me pick him up to get a better look at her and spent a lot of time staring at her while she worked.

I had the second bad fall in three days after she left, though it was not as bad as Sunday's during which I had nothing at all to grab on the way down and I nearly squashed Tavy. At least my bruising is fairly symmetrical now. The last week plus I've been having arms and or legs cut out at random when I'm trying to use them. The arm thing is super annoying and I keep dropping heavy things. Trips to the bathroom are terrifying. The pain is, as you can imagine, nightmarish even by my standards.

Wednesday we had important time dependent errands which meant an hour and a half less sleep and extra pain, but they were absolutely worth it. We got the essential things done. There was also frustration as I had given away my construction paper a couple of years ago since I wasn't using it, and apparently they no longer sell it locally, which is insane. It was all foam and/or felt mats and/or card stock in the usual places. This is insanity! It's kids home craft season!

Bonus horrible thing: The other Allergy Clinic decided they don't want any new Medicare patients, so I'm likely fucked. I am going to call my medical caseworker during business hours in case she can do the same magic the previous one did last year with dental care and I will see what new doctor can do when I meet them. Realistically though? Fucked.

Oh, and head Millennial isn't getting paid for another month for AID work which hurts both of us.

* Wednesday was productive but so exhausting I couldn't even. Friday they sent a cleaner, who was acceptable, but not as good as the previous three. It's free. She accomplished the main goals. That's all I can reasonably ask for.

Saturday, the engine light came on while I was driving the Head Millennial home. This will be the third trip to the shop in as many months, and I was only just finally catching up on bills. I don't know what I'll pay them with.

* 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.

* 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.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/318lgf6fa0?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cf%20share-flow-1&fbclid=IwAR1smSQTz7deMSVUBsEg30AdhQ-zeAEHGXOcHXqVUILTlF2MqnIIW49SDVU

* 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.

* Something I said on Tumblr that I often say in one gform or another:

Once a gift leaves my hand, it is not mine. To do anything else is not to give a gift, but an obligation.

* I am still on a weird sleep schedule and dealing with assorted bodily inconveniences. Monday, my medical social worker patched me through to the lady the state pays to sort out that thing where you are on Medicare and medicaid and your health care is meant to be covered, but they send you bills anyway. I was up to two bills as a second came over the weekend from my trip over the mountains in February. I was on hold long enough to bake a veggie roast, but she fixed it. (I had put it in just before sitting down to make phone calls. Luckily I had it on cooking timer which turns the oven off automatically. The timer went off right when she came back on the line. It was fine. I had stuff to do on the computer).

Seriously, Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) is magic. I have no idea how to fight these things myself and it's all exhausting.

All the filters have been cleaned except on the big air conditioner that stays in it's closet until it gets really hot, which I’m pretty sure I cleaned at end of season.. The dishes are all done except the one that held the roast leftovers I had for dinner. Mr bedding is clean and fresh. The Head Millennial is off and away. The cats had a great afternoon today watching birds and dog walkers with the window open. We are already into two of their favorite shows: Gazebo Birds and new fan favorite Mrs. Robin's neighborhood. The season premieres of other favorites such as The Hummingbirds, Butterflies, and that perennial crime drama: Murder of Crows. seriously cat TV is excellent here.

* I was worried enough about the state of my lungs to call it in first thing Monday morning. I was still testing negative for COVID, but my immune system can't fight it's way out of a wet paper bag and I catch anything and everything. I got the usual lung doctor, which is a massive help, on Tuesday morning, which was when they could squeeze me in. My file is basically the medical equivalent of war and Peace and having a person up on it who had been in close contact with my much missed already GP is a huge help. I get treated like an adult who is an expert on my own body instead of having to fight foe the basics. She knows how seriously I take antibiotics. Trusty me, it was a relief to see her.

So we did the usual routine tests. I am negative for COVID and the currently dominant strains of Influenza which is very helpful to know, but not surprising with my vaccine status. I was actually feeling better at this point. We set up the standard contingencies. We generally do this 4-6 times a year. I'm hard to diagnose because of the stunning collection of things wrong with me as a baseline.

They also took five vials of blood as part of my routine monitoring, which I need for the new GP In April. new is a relative term here. If I am remembering names correctly, I think he's the guy who's been subbing in for emergencies when my doctor ius off for years, but I am bad at names, so it's possible I'm wrong. Anyway, they need to test a tone of things every year unless my numbers are bad and then i do an extra three vials at the half year.

This literally took all morning and I was running on about 3 1/2 hours sleep, plus the draws always take a lot out of me. I got another 3-4 hours sleep before the alarm. The trip to the bathroom at that point was so debilitating, that there was nothing for it but to rest and try again in another hour. My body really, really thought lying still all evening was a good idea, but I'd promised squirrel laundry, assorted plants and animals rely on me to look after them, and I'd an online commitment that was important, plus other assorted things needing doing like eating, lungs, and assorted small household things.

I did all those things, but getting up was very much a mistake. I basically spent all evening struggling and mostly failing to keep water and meds down, so that was.... not good. As of Wednesday evening, I'm still futzing with laundry from yesterday. *fingers crossed that my body is stabilizing*

(Pharmacy called me twice friday, for example, and I think that was the fifth or sixth pharmacy call waking me up in the last wee. Ilost track for obvious reasons. Every medical appointment requires three robo calls now and one appointment per week is a minimum for me.

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.

* Note: Ali Velshi is my least favorite of MSNBCs current selection of substitute hosts for a bunch of reasons. He is currently covering for Rachel Maddow who is away on a long hiatus to work on other projects. I have no reason to think she's reviewing everything that is going on the air over there given how incredibly busy she is right now. If more information comes in suggesting she personally okayed everything in the 3/11 broadcast, I will reassess, but right now I'm working on the assumption that it's her bookers, research staff, etc., but that Ali Velshi is responsible for what he says and what goes out on the air.

Absent information to the contrary, I'm done with Ali Velshi, but reserving judgment on Rachel Maddow's involvement unless and until more information comes in suggesting she actually had some direct involvement.

What happened on air in the 3/11 episode is NOT okay, and I don't condone it.

* Thursday, I was dealing with a headache all evening, then had a bad fall trying to feed the Emperor. it wasn't his fault. he was patiently waiting in his feeding station. It was just one of those things where my body randomly stopped working at the wrong moment. I yelled because it hurt rather a lot. Tavy and Livia are very bad with loud noises so him taking off like a shot was no surprise at all. So I'm on the floor, trying to assess if I broke any toes, and untangle myself from some furniture I took down with me when I'm surprised by a really loud and emphatically concerned "Mao!" at my elbow. He hadn't fled to hide in his room, he'd run around the back of the right side desk/shelving in the office area to see if I was okay. He was scared, but he was way more worried than scared for himself, poor button. For all his faults, he really is a sweet little guy.

I damaged a bunch of toes and several are swollen, but the only one I'm really worried about is the center right. Ironically, the fragile toe,the one that I break several times a year, is just fine. none of the toes snapped in half, which is good, and I'm not getting that nasty all too familiar bone grinding, so I'm calling it a win. I'll likely have a better idea tomorrow how fucked the toe is, but it's defiantly not medical attention level fucked. (I only take toes to the doctor when they snap in half or obviously need stitches or the like).

* When Head Millennial was over last Wednesday I did the thing I often do where I offer two things they could make for my dinner and let him pick which one. Usually it's one simple thing for if they have worn themself out and a more complicated or labor intensive option for if they're up to that after they've done the other stuff on the list for the day. In this case, I've been having the kind of cravings that suggest low grade deficiency, so the easy option was a protein thing and the other option was high in vitamin C and good for depleted electrolytes. I mentioned why it needed to be one of the two nutritionally. They insisted on making both, which is fine since I could eat the bocas while they started the sauerkraut and sweet biscuits and I could just reheat that sucker later for second meal, which I totally did. (They also prepped a salad with vegetarian friendly protein in it, knowing I would finish it with artichoke heats fore electrolytes. head Millennial is a super star.)

I mentioned before that the big cooking bible is full of handwritten notes and glosses from various of my family members including me, and that we generally translate the recipes with certain standard substitutions we generally don't bother to write in. This is why I am still using the stained, battered, and falling apart original and not the replacement I bought over half a decade ago. I really need to sit down and transfer all the glosses across, but... Anyway, the glosses and corrections that aren't mine were written by dead family members, which is another reason I've been slow to transcribe it all across.

So Head Millennial grabs the recipe book, finds the recipe that the real recipe is based on, but keeps double checking the changes since neither my grandmother, mother, nor I ever bothered to write the glosses in because it was obvious to us what to change or add. But of course it isn't for the Millennial who's never seen, heard, or smelled this before the night he made it the first time. So I answer the questions, but after I'm like, "It's totally fine if you want to check with me every time, but you are also welcome to write in the recipe changes in pencil. Everybody does it." So the Millennial asked for the pencil, and started writing in the changes, and I'm like, you know you can write in the sauerkraut and water proportions too if you like. Which they eagerly did.

It was a huge relief to them. They can confidently do it themself if they needs to, which is very much how they likes to work. They are very bright and independent, and like me back when I was working like to know all the things. It wasn't until Thursday evening that it dawned on me, Oh! They were having extra emotions about it because they were writing in my family book. It didn't occur to me that it would be odd, as really, my relationship with them is very much like Gran's relationship with me was, only in this instance, I am Gran. (Gran was my Mother's Maternal Grandmother who lived to be a hundred. she was one of the many gender nonconforming family members on that side of my family tree. I was very close to her. She died at the end of my first year at College). Of course Head Millennial can gloss away all they like in the cooking bible: they are family. (One of the older Millennials often reminds me of how my Mother and Grammy were together, with me being Grammy, my Mother's Mother, in this instance).

It is so strange to me still after all this time. I never expected to survive this long. I almost didn't because of Herberton, the tumor colony we removed in my mid thirties. I never expected to survive to be a queer elder at all. I very deliberately never had or adopted kids. (Skye and I thought seriously about fostering older queer kids, but it didn't work out for a bunch of reasons). still, here I am replicating the extended family multi generational dynamics of my mother's side of the family, the mutual aid and care and fundamental warmth of it, only from the other side of the mirror.

* Some one pointed me to the finder site, Thursday night. I'd already checked it, which is how I discovered they were only tax preparing at a place without free close disabled parking, but I tried again anyway just in case and a bunch of other free tax preparer sites had popped up literally overnight. I was able to catch one of the slots at the place they moved the library site too about a decade ago that is super accessible and has disabled parking right in front. It's also big, high ceilinged and well ventilated. The COVID protocols were an improvement. They had appointment slots instead of randomly showing up and it taking four hours. Inevitably, they were a little behind and even the simplest filing (mine) with no taxable income (They don't tax SSI) takes about half an hour for whatever reason, but because of COVID protocols I got to sitt by myself in the waiting area reading instead of sitting with the preparer after the initial double check and paperwork handover.

Can I do my taxes myself? Yes, obviously, but reading tax rules stresses me out and it's worth it to me to sit around reading while someone else does it.

I've been going there since around the turn of the century, back when I still had income. (I file for identity protection and because sometimes bureaucracy wants a completed tax form). It's run by AARP and it's mostly retirees manning the stations most years. My Grammy, who was an accountant professionally, used to volunteer for this back east after she retired. I know the faces of most of the people who come back and do this every year. Half of them weren't there this time. I hope the plague didn't get them and they are just being cautious. They've always seemed such nice people and iut's a huge service they do every year. They only manned two thirds the usual number of stations for safety as well.

A young woman in her twenties did my taxes, the youngest person I'd ever seen volunteering. It was good that some young people were there volunteering, but I worry about all the people i didn't see. For the last couple years, it has been heartening to see the older library workers and volunteers still there. I always exchange greetings with the help desk guy. I was extra happy to see him today. I've seen two of the fix it guys at the library getting books in the last six months. I've been quietly worrying about them all pandemic. I hope the other fix it cafe people are okay, because they are all superheroes in my book, and most of them were retirees too.

* Saturday, I taught Head Millennial a dish my family called Sauerkraut and Sweet Biscuits, but which is really more Sweet Dumplings in a glutinous sauerkraut stew. Me, warning the Millennial in advance: This is going to be extremely stinky, but delicious and full of Vitamin C. *Millennial sensibly turns the hood up fan up on high* This is something made on the stove top, so theoretically viable, but since the stove top is rapidly failing and heat is quite variable so things like boiling water and making pasta are still okay, but things like grilled cheese are right out, so I am not entirely sure this will work. Still we forge onward.

So explain how to set up the sauerkraut in water on medium heat while he mixes the batter. I give him the recipe. Me: You want to make this, but add an extra cup of sugar. Don't worry, the sour and sweet balance each other beautifully. Head Millennial: This says cold shortening? Me: It lies. It was written down in the '50's or '60's. Almost anything in this recipe set that says lard or shortening means butter or magazine unless there is an annotation that says no really use shortening. Use the same amount of butter. It will be fine. *Millennial gives me a skeptical look, but forges on.*

Millennial: What do I do with this batter? *Goes over there to help* Me: Okay, we turn up the heat now and stir the sauerkraut. Now we pour the batter on top. *Millennial gives me a concerned and skeptical look.* Okay, we let it heat for a bit, then put the lid on and put it on low. Come check it every ten minutes so so. Don't worry. It will be ugly. It is always ugly but very delicious. *I start wandering back to my sitting down project* I have no idea if this is German or Irish, but it is good, filling Winter food. Millennial: No wonder people think you are Polish. *I am amused*

As it turned out the Millennial did a bit of cleaning, but was tired. Me: want me to take you home? *Millenial casts a worried look back at the kitchen.* Me: It'll be fine. I'll cover it and turn it down. We could be gone half an hour and it would likely still be fine. If it burns a little on the bottom, no problem, but it likely won't.

Anyway, I took them home, which takes about fifteen minutes round trip that time of night. I adjusted the heat a little. Did a very careful stir to limit scorching at the bottom without damaging the dumplings to much. Covered it back up. Did a lung treatment. When I dished it out, it was perfect. Seriously. This is the best it's been in like three years. Neither over cooked or undercooked. Dumplings in the right size range and texture. Perfect mix of sweet and sour. Omnomnomnom!

* Thanks to incredibly kind donations, the immediate financial emergencies are at bay I should be able to cover the bill that is about to go critical and I think the housing tax. I will have a better idea how messed up March will be in about a week. I once again want to thank everyone for their support.

* Last Spring the head Millenial bought some hand sanitizer it turned out they didn't want, I'm assuming because of the offensively strong artificial smell. I can just tolerate it and it's otherwise good sanitizer, just really, really intense. I mostly only use sanitizer in the car, so this pump bottle doesn't get used that much. I did use it the other night and it finally hit me why it smells so familiar: It smells like priest. O.o

* Me, exclaiming to Head Millennial just how not heterosexual Word of Honor is: And then the guy who's been following the other one all over the countryside because of his "Beautiful Shoulders Blades" says the most heterosexual line ever spoken by one man to another in a Chinese homoerotic historical fantasy martial arts epic: "A Gentleman is willing to die for his soulmate."

Head Millennial: I don't think you understand what heterosexual means.

* Wednesday morning, City Guy and Honest Contractor were scheduled to come for a walk through as part of getting things going on the electrical fix. (The plan was for them to work out how bad the damage was and then I'd submit a claim to housing insurance. City was going to fund my... I think it was 2500.00 copay and the rest of the rewiring would hopefully be covered by insurance.) I stayed up for it, despite being exhausted and my legs being really bad. Getting electricity for the kitchen and bathroom was worth whatever it cost me physically in the short run.

Longtime readers will remember there was a massive delay caused first by Squirrel catching COVID at work the day after he got his booster, before the extra coverage could kick in. He was symptomatic in a way that closely mimicked my reaction to the booster early in December. We opted for longer quarantine than the five days for vaccinated people. I never caught it. yay, booster! By the time we were out of quarantine, City Guys kid had caught it in school and Honest contractor had caught it separately on a job. (Everyone's okay now.) Thus COVID ate a month on dealing with stuff.

Longtime readers will also remember that the city funded renovations two years ago overlapped the beginning of the pandemic by about a month. They wore high end construction masks, we hid in our rooms as by this point they were mostly finishing my bathroom off, and I think maybe painting living room dry wall, but don't quote me on that. As a result, the city final inspection was not entirely complete. They combined the inspection with the electrical walk through. This will come up later.

By the time they arrived I could barely walk and was using the crutches to hobble around when they needed me for stuff. They were almost done and the contractor was looking grim, on the grounds that this was likely going to be an incredibly expensive rewiring. They were impressed by the blue sparks when they tried to flick the switch in the electrical panel. He was emerging from squirrel's room where I didn't follow, preferring to sit in my office chair because legs shaky and extreme pain. It was at this point I described the initial incident back in late December in detail for the first time. (Three people handling things at the city office had heard the full thing but the contractor had only had bare bones). His face lit up.

Honest Contractor was like: It might just be a shirt behind the light switch panel in the bathroom! So he grabbed a tool out of my belt and i scrounged some office supplies from my desk area and he opened it up. At which point his was very O.o. If you know anything about how wiring works you will understand the horror the four of us felt at his discovery.

The wires had corroded right behind the switch. This is not the alarming part. The alarming part was that the low bid contractor who had royally fucked up the building from square one had, for reasons known only to himself, wrapped the grounding wire AROUND the live wire. Because of the corrosion, these to things were touching and it would arc blue every time you flipped the switch. So that was quite alarming. It is likely the same in every apartment in all three buildings. Holy Fire Hazard Batman! He sorted it out.

We have Electricity! I repeat, we have electricity!

This took all of the Wednesday and most of the Thursday spoons, but it was so worth it. Seriously, I couldn't make it out of my room until 2AM.

Thursday, I got a call from City Guy. Honest contractor will need to come back for a small pipe related revision related to the original city funded renovation. honest contractor has also agreed to fix a safety hazard in the kitchen for 50.00. The hope is to combine these missions. I've no idea when he's coming as he is a very busy man and his schedule is borked by his getting sick, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel on everything but the stove and maybe fire suppression.

So to some up, what we were all thinking was 20,000 of wiring damage is fixed. We are still in the air on fire suppression and stove. I am about 150.00 behind on bills because of Management Company charging us 160.00 to not fix the fire suppression leading and surprise medical bill, and car tabs all hitting in January, leading to late fees on a bill I haven't caught up as a result. Plus the 50.00 so no one will accidentally break a finger in the kitchen. The big housing tax bill is expected any day, but that, like a stove that can do more than boil water is on my next month problem list at this point.

We are substantially in a better position than we were in January despite a+everything, so I am calling it a win.

* Watching the women's singles event, I kept thinking about how flat and samey a lot of it was. I used to love the ladies events the same way I still love the men's events. Off the top of my head I could easily think of ten women I used to look forward to watching every time from earlier cycles.

My biases as well known. I'll take an all around skater over a jumper with privative choreography any day. I like character and artistry and I want to feel something when I watch. I'm that weirdo who loves watching the early flights at the big events as well as the top skaters. I love spotting folks just up from juniors full of potential. I love watching quirky older skaters who will likely never see a podium, but who are fun and/or magical in their expression. I love watching people who clearly love what they are doing even if they only get seen once a year at nationals or Europeans. (I would happily watch everyone's nationals if they broadcast them. At least broadcast Japanese Nationals over here? Pretty Please?).

I have a friend who'd stopped following skating this cycle, so I was bringing her up to speed on single skating stuff for this Olympics. I had this massive list of people to watch for in the earlier flights in the men's event: their strengths, their weaknesses, why I in particular liked them. I explained why I wasn't big on several of the big names as well. {Me: Grassl skates like a young Evgeni Plushenko (derogatory). See my opinion on jumpers with nothing much else to recommend them}. I had page after page of things to say about male figure skaters.

This was before the revelations about the Russian women's figure skating program and doping in particular. I explained my opinions of the three Russian skaters. None of it particularly relevant anymore, though I stand by my comparison of Alexandra Trusova to Evgeni Plushenko (derogatory), especially after her throwing an almost identical tantrum to the one he threw when even beat him in pretty much the same way. I explained that my current favorite woman single skater Mai Mihara wouldn't be there because she hadn't recovered from an injury fast enough to compete until Four Continents where she skated brilliantly. That Kaori was my second favorite by a hair and I was desperately rooting for her to get bronze, even though it would be very uphill and a bit long shot. I listed a few others I enjoy: Alysa Liu, Loena Hendrickx, You Young, Wakaba Higuchi. There are a few earlier flight skaters I'm vaguely fond of, but it wasn't what it would have been a decade and a half ago.

I watched it all, like I always do. I cheered on Mariah and Maddie. I watched with real concern as Zhu Yi skated, cheering her on with the Canadian commentators after all she'd been through and then.... sea of sameness. The Estonian had innovative costumes, which was cool, even though her skating didn't do much for me. The rest? Eh. until nearly the end.

I kept thinking about how dull it's all gotten, really, outside of a handful of performances. I think the Russians sucked all the air out of the room eight or so years ago, with there incredibly abusive and dangerous training methods. I've said before, I'm not angry at abused teenagers for living in a system designed to chew them up and spit them out in two to four years. I'm angry at the adults who built and perpetuated this system. My fury is inexpressible really, and I can only watch them skate in sorrow. I think it's the whole women's side of the sport that's been damaged though. All those young women tying to chase something impossible to catch and destructive if you do. It's like the life had been hammered out of the middle flights, and it just... breaks my heart.

I've loved women's skating my whole life. I watched Dorothy Hammill in real time as a child. My whole family wept for Debi Thomas when she fell. The part of my that wanted to dance like Mikhail Baryshnikov and was fascinated by Rudolf Nureyev, also loved figure skating. All of figure skating.

I want the sport I loved back. I want the IOC to grow a fucking spine and come down like bricks on Eteri Tutberidze, the Russian doping agency, and anyone in authority involved in the cheating and the abuse. I want an end to slaps on the wrist that only encourage them to do worse. I want clean skating and skaters who are allowed to eat and for women to be allowed to now interesting programs again. I want a sport that actually would have room for a modern Surya Bonaly without the racism and body shaming.

I want women's skating to be better than it was in the 20th century, not worse. I want to look forward to every event again like I used to.

* We need to talk about Zhu Yi.

So here's the thing, in both the elite sports and the ballet world, people have been switching countries significantly longer than I've been alive. It a thing that happens. It's normal. There are a lot of reasons for it. sometimes, as during the Cold war, people outright defect(ed) because they think they will have a better life in the other country. This is an extremely familiar narrative even to people who don't follow figure skating (or ballet, or certain other sports), but it's not the only reason people do this.

In figure skating, it's incredibly common for people who are good, but live in a country with a large number of good skaters to, you know, move somewhere where they have more opportunities. People with duel citizenship will often pick the country with less competition for top slots because things like the Olympics max out a countries entries at three. If there are say four or even five of you vying for a limited number of slots at say Worlds or the Olympics, maybe it's worth staying, but what if you have an option to grab the one spot some other country has instead of fighting your way into those limited slots?

Keep in mind, a lot of those smaller countries very much want an elite skater to help build a program in their country and for the international prestige. They will welcome a duel citizen with open arms. Similarly, the child of emigres. Some of them will actively recruit athletes who've signaled an interest in leaving despite a lack of ties. (This happens in lots of Sports. Remember that Belarusian runner who defected in a Japanese airport who got taken in by a third country?) So if your country has no potential Olympians, or only very weak contenders, it really does make sense on both sides.

Last I checked eight Russian figure skaters were expected at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, five of them skating for other countries because the Russian women's single skate program is so incredibly dominant right now. If you are in the top four or five, might as well go be the best woman's single skater in some other nearby country.

You also get good skaters from smaller countries moving to live somewhere else without changing citizenship to be where the best coaches are. This is incredibly normal. you also get pairs and dance skaters who end up deciding to partner with someone from another country, who have to change citizenship so they can skate together. My point is, a lot of people live and train in one country and compete for another, or have moved between countries as they think is best for their development as skaters.

Would I want to pick China to switch to? No. Surveillance, genocide, concentration camps, rising anti-queer sentiment, etc., but I can see why the level of state support china gives their elite athletes might attract someone who was talented but not likely to get much support or exposure in the US. It's not the choice I would likely make, but I can understand someone who did, especially someone with her background. This really likely was her best option, possibly her only option besides skating here. Keep in mind, most athletes above a certain level have lived and dreamed and sacrificed most of their childhood and teen years to try to do this one thing very, very well. It's easy for people who never were that kind of choice to judge that choice harshly. I prefer exercising a little empathy.

Last winter Olympics, there was a Kazakhstani ladies single skater who was good enough to score two slots for her country. There were not two women at the right level to fill those slots and there was a controversy, because the second best Kazakhstani lady figure skater came anyway instead of that slot to the next eligible person from another country. and yes, it sucked that that other woman didn't get to go, but realistically, neither of these women were going to medal. So picture for a second if you were an amateur Kazakhstani skater and you had a once in a lifetime chance to travel to Korea to skate on televisions all over the world wearing your tiara. Realistically, I'd guess 99% of us would have been skating in our tiaras even if the world called us selfish. It's nice to say, oh, you'd cede that slot, but no one offered you one. I don't think any of us know we'd for sure say no.

Also, you know why Zhu Yi was skating for China in Beijing? They literally had no woman single skater better than her. No really. When I heard China was going to the team event, I thought, "Huh. Who's they get for the woman's single skate?" Because I could think of anyone this cycle at that level to take the slot. when I saw who it was, I was like, oh! I vaguely remember her from pre-pandemic. Which means she was good enough for me to have seen her and for to have made some sort of impression though not a strong one either way. If China had a woman with a 60+ short, she'd have been in that slot. Ask yourself seriously, in her place, given a chance for better coaching and a ticket to the Olympics, would you really say no? Because I think a whole lot of armchair skate fans would say yes, even with all the stuff going on in China.

And then there is the extreme cyber bullying which makes me furious. She was clearly doing her best in the short. I have been listening to Canadian skate commentators every year since I moved up here in '98 and I have never heard them as quietly furious as they were during the long program at the harm people on social media heave done to this young woman. She is nineteen. A teenager. her whole life has been about trying to do this one thing she loved. She's not a murderer, like Kyle Rittenhouse, or a monster. She is a teenager who wanted to skate more than anything in the world and now hate is pouring down on her from all sides with no thought at all to her humanity or her youth. The cruelty of it. I just have no fucking words.

Of course she couldn't skate well under those conditions. Could you? Could anyone?

I don't know her. I'll never meet her, but oh do I have empathy for her, because this is a terrible thing for anyone to have done to them, especially a young woman with all the pressures that the world piles on young women just in general.

Fuckssake, can we think before we pile on? Expend a little empathy like the Canadian Skate commentators, instead of being the gears of hate grinding up young athletes trying to do their best in one of the most high pressure situations is possible for an athlete to be in.

* I had one of my perennial plague dreams. (I'm a life long plague watcher. 1 was a 14th century specialist before I parted ways with academia. I was dreaming about epidemics since the mid-to late 70's. So no, it's neither an AIDS thing nor a Covid thing.) In this one there was an outbreak of a weaponized... okay, not really small pox, but best described as some sort of Anthrax/smallpox cross? But not really. It was sort of an Anthrax timeline on latency and infection, with both pox and lesions and a small pox like rash following the lesions by about 12 hours, and lung symptoms.

A High school was the target, so the authorities locked it down and were trying to do quarantine and triage, but given how infectious small pox is... yeah. which is why the small town also had perimeter quarantine, since people could be infectious before the fever started and airbourne pathogens are bad.

I was lucid dreaming as is often the case. so I took to the air on the theory that a couple stories up was safer, grabbed a bedroll, provisions, etc. and was setting up camp on a roof top with a structure that could provide an overhang, as is a thing I often do in zombie outbreaks and epidemic scenarios in my dreams.

So I'm up on this roof top watching a massive crowd of parents and families gather in the sports fields around the school, all breathing on each other without masks and trying to press up on the National Guard as they worked themselves into an angry frenzy and it suddenly dawned on me: Anti-vaxxers are panicky nonsense south Park parents.

Bear with me. I hate south Park. I used to watch it while I was teaching because the kids were watching it, and it's good practice to read, watch, and listen to what they are consuming. It was essential to watch south Park in particular because 1. They'd tried to get around you using stuff from there and catching them every time taught them you were hard to trick that way. the more pop culture one was up on, the more they assumed one was basically omniscient and it solved a lot of problems before they started, and 2. The middle Schoolers would come in Monday morning with serious questions and concerns about what they saw and if they knew you knew south Park they'd ask you and you could use it for teachable moments, and things like that were where I did some of my best work as far as media literacy and getting kids to really think about what they are consuming.

But I fucking hate South Park for all the ways it's regressive and toxic. It's fed antisemitism and homophobia and transphobia and sexism and science denial and a whole host of toxic things in American culture. I hate it.

But, this connection I made in this dream has haunted me for two days. There's this thing the adults in South Park do where they hear something or something happens and they don't actually listen properly and they just panic and wildly over react and lose their shit and the next thing you know there's this mob of incensed nonsense spewing people who are violent or borderline violent.

I can't say one way or another if 25 years of this shitty regressive show being on the air and popular has caused this or merely reflects the shittiness always under the surface in American, but I saw that irrational nonsense and pathogen spewing crowd reacting exactly the wrong way in a pandemic and I thought of the anti-semetic South Park show with it's hysterical nonsense adults and the Neo-NAZIs making Ottawa unlivable right now and and Trumpist swastika waving anti-vaxxers beating up teachers and storming American state capitals and trying to overthrow the government and it just... felt like the same thing. idk. It's not deep, just an image stuck in my head from a dream.

* Friday: We're still having sporadic snow and I'm still trying to take apart the Gothmas trees.

Saturday: I timed errands to be out while Head Millennial was working, as there was no snow. When I got back, I hid in my room until he was gone. He did a short shift, as he can't safely take breaks or drink inside. Squirrel remains negative, but he could literally catch it any night and safety has to come first. I spent an hour trying to get the lights off the Halloween Trees, but they were very tangled. The Millenial sorted it. I just need to stow it all away until next September. I'm going to try running the microwave later off an extension cord. *fingers crossed* My body is being annoying in some rather standard for me ways, but at least I'm getting reasonable sleep.

* Monday, a bunch of the phone tag people caught me. On top of that? *headdesk* It turns out the Management company was trying to trick us into paying for the fire suppression system check. They hadn't sent a work order, which means they get to refuse the invoice, forcing us to pay for it. so I cancelled that. I need to call the management company tomorrow anyway because the city wants in writing why they refuse to fix the wiring.

Bonus, I went to start dinner before lungs so it could bake. When I went to check,the oven had glitched out. I knew the burners were failing as two barely heat anymore. Now it heats up, then waits until I've set the alarm and wandered off to shut itself off. Um, thanks? so we're down to two burners now. Who knows how long before they glitch out too?

Update: It won't turn on for more than a few seconds. It's done. Dinner was about 3/4ths cooked, which wasn't entirely pleasant, but not a food safety issue, me being vegetarian. One more problem to try to sort tomorrow, I guess, but I'm not sanguine.

* Tuesday I was up all day being a grown up. The short version is as follows: I called property management as soon as they opened to get assorted things in motion. I got the city and the property management in contact with each other over the wiring dispute. Everyone's decided to wait to see what the electrician says. The guy from the city came to poke around. The electrical system is an emergency; the oven isn't. (Tavy remembered the city guy from two years ago. He's not in the clowder, but Tavy likes him and sort of followed him around. He has this warm, gentle vibe that is soothing to cats even though he is wandering around in work boots). The City is still hoping the electrician will say something that will budge Property Management, but if he doesn't, the City Program will likely pick up the insurance copay, assuming property insurance will cover the rest. The copay, while impossibly large for me, a person on SSI, is cheap at the price for the city program, if that makes sense, and a lot more doable than solving the whole thing for them given how stretched they are from flood damage. It's not 100% assured as they are using an emergency fund instead of the regular procedure.

Property management sent the proper paperwork for the visit to inspect the fire suppression. (I thanked the nice lady again for giving me the heads up on them on Property management trying to trick us into a surprise bill when she called for afternoon reschedule). Our belief that the component was dead is confirmed. They can't fix it apparently and it requires an electrician. Electrician has hopes of a preliminary visit this week or next. I'll call tomorrow and tell them about the fire suppression component and see if we can two in one there. (They are very backed up as a third of the city still has electrical damage from the floods. We are lucky to be this close to a visit).

I had a long talk with my social worker, catching her up on all the electrical drama and associated battles. She's calling around to see if there is some solution for the stove to various service agencies. I'm to call her back next week or when there is an electrical update. (For those just tuning in, she's a medical social worker who specializes in services for the elderly and disabled She is a superstar, and very good at finding weird little grants and programs for her people. If she can't find something to sort the stove no one can.)

On the upside there have been some more donations and I am pretty sure I can catch up the regular bills I didn't pay due to the Brakes Emergency. I'll know for sure that my maths tally up correctly in a few days. Squirrel thinks he can float the electrician visit. My next concern is the medical copay and the car tab bill that comes any day now, but I can’t deal with those until I know where I am on the biggest bill left.

I am thoroughly exhausted and down to the last few spoons. It is only Tuesday. I really need things to stop breaking, because it really feels like everything is caving in on my head at once.

* None of the things I unearthed turned out to be real bandages. A kind friend is sending me some, but until they get here, I fell back on a nasty expedient. I need something to cover the wounds while I sleep, to keep the medicine in and to prevent further injury. The doctor had said one can tape cellophane on in an emergency. I figured that'd keep things from sticking to it and the medicine and scabs from rubbing off. I layered a not bandage over it for padding. the cats can tell I'm injured, but they are small nervous animals with brains the size of walnuts and a habit of walking over me with pointy feet when I'm lying down. It was not pleasant. The plastic wrap doesn't breathe and is hot. I'll do it again when I sleep, as the particularly bad patch looked a little better when I woke. I can't wait for the proper pads to get here.

* You may have noticed I post a lot of different articles about and interviews with various declared and likely 2020 Presidential Primary candidates. I do this because I think it's important we get a good look at all our options. In my opinion it's far too soon for me to be selecting, let alone endorsing candidate.

I will vote for whoever gets chosen for the Democratic ticket. I stand by my policy of voting my heart in the primary and strategically in the general. With this understanding and the caveats above, I admit I have a short list all ready of people I would rather not have to vote for in 2020. I will, mind you, but I really really hope we chose someone better. There are good reasons for each of them:

Tulsi Gabbard is a homophobic DINO with a long list of unpleasant statements and policy positions so odious that David Duke wanted to endorse her. Yes, she turned him down, but still. DO NOT want. I don't want Biden and Sanders for a bunch of reasons. I listed my objections to Biden last time around, s I'm not going to know. They are the same as they were. Sander's has some serious problems with a tendency not to see the way systemic racism and sexism are a major problem in this country and he's really not up to the foreign policy part of the job. There are also way better candidates already in with views more in keeping with my own to the left of Sanders. I'd rather someone who can fight for more of the things I want with less of the baggage, and that actually is a choice this time. I'm much happier with him staying in the Senate.

I admit that I have several other "I would rather they stay in Congress" names on my list, but I'm not as adamant about them as of yet. They have a lot of room left to surprise me and/or convince me that they really are the best choice and a lot of time to do it in. All sorts of things can happen between now and late Spring 2020. I've a short list of likelier names, but it's fluid. My opinions on the candidates are fluid, and so I'm going to keep watching and reading and posting stuff. Let's all see where this goes, okay?

And yes, if you really do have a candidate you are passionate about, definitely donate and/or volunteer to help them. I'm just not even close to there yet and don't expect to be any time soon.

This is fucking devastating. I am very glad no humans were killed and they got most of the warm blooded creatures out, but I am mourning the fish store and it's inhabitants. It was huge. It was like a small scale aquarium. It was fun to wander it's labyrinth and just look at the tanks. They got the animals out from the shop next door, but you cant really move those giant tanks. Fish store was owned by two elderly gentleman for whom it was their life's work. They employed a small army of wonderful counter culture young people. They had a pleco the size of my forearm.

Fuck! It’s horrifying and what was lost was irreplaceable and I can’t stop thinking of all those fish and the people who just lost pretty much everything.

* So here's the thing. I only found out about the fire because I saw the burnt out buildings and I pretty much spent all evening crying off and on about that and another personal thing that happened after. Somewhere in all this I managed to strain or sprain my left wrist and I only noticed the pain and swelling later when I tried to use it for typing and it had stiffened, so I’m working one handed. The only reason there is a news round up for Monday is because I was too tired and in pain to get up and take a bath/got to bed without a few hours of prep/calming down.

Obviously, I did not finish the news. I will make an attempt tomorrow. If my body and the bank cooperate, I will go pay the licensing people for the car tabs. If not, it becomes Wednesday's problem.
