"Of course the bomb threat was a trick. Belarus claims that Hamas emailed to inform Minsk National Airport that it intended to bomb a flight if the European Union did not “abandon its support for Israel in its war” in Gaza. Hamas’s purported email specifically noted the intention to kill participants in the Delphi Economic Forum, a Davos-like public-policy event in Athens. I was one of the speakers. Most of the foreigners appeared remotely, and the few who appeared in person, including myself, flew home when the forum concluded more than a week before the Belarus incident. The Ryanair flight may have carried a few stragglers, but to plant a bomb a week later would be like trying to pull off a Christmas attack on January 2. The Daily Beast and Newlines noted another inconsistency: The bomb threat arrived 24 minutes after the Minsk control tower radioed to the Ryanair flight crew.

If Hamas and Belarus have invented clairvoyance and time travel, the national security implications for the United States and others will be considerable. Even in the absence of such developments, however, the world has changed in disturbing ways. Flying over a foreign country has, until now, felt to most people like teleporting past it—as if remaining tens of thousands of feet above hostile territory, we are not in some important sense in it, and vulnerable to being forced down and arrested. In the future, if the Belarus ruse is allowed to stand, the experience will come to resemble taking a train, with all the terrestrial legal risk that entails."

"Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced last week they had found the remains of 215 children, some as young as three years old, buried at the site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, once Canada's largest such school.

Between 1831 and 1996, Canada's residential school system forcibly separated children from their families, subjecting them to abuse, malnutrition and rape in what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission tasked with investigating the system called "cultural genocide" in 2015."

* Last Monday we had our first unmasked full vax visitor in the house. It was a good visit. This visitor was last here last October, but that was a masked, outdoors, socially distanced visit. From the cat's perspective, it had been a year and a half. They scattered and hid, of course, but Tavy is old enough to have memories of the Before Time, and after a while he realized the voice was familiar and he had liked this visitor before so he came out to sniff stuff, get a quick scritch from the visitor, and watch the bird show. It was fine.

Livia is younger and doesn't remember the before times that well. She will clock that a stranger is vaguely familiar sometimes, but she's nearly from scratch with most people and has trouble with masks. She thought the visitor had left because it was silent when I was in the bathroom, so she came out of her cave to check. She found stange stuff by the door, went to sniff it, turned around and there waas a Stranger! On Tavy's sofa! The Horror! The Stranger had a good cat vibe and stayed still and made friend blinky eyes and was generally chill, show she opted not to return to her hidde, but hung out on my bed mostly. She was brave enough to come out for litter and I fed her her shreds in there. It was fine, if a bit stressful for her.

I was proud of them both. Brave kittens.

* Friday: So a lot of the medical stuff has been straightened out. Apparently the original specialist team is working on the slower growing set and the aggressive big boy went to the top guy in the county. The slow ones I'm thinking of calling McConnelville as they've been there forever and are slowly bleeding the life out of the body politic (me) for the benefit of a handful of precancerous colonies that will slowly kill me if not removed. likely these guys sent me to the ER recently. The massive, immediate threat has half choked off my esophagus right above my stomach, or, you know progress. In the form of food. It's dug in deep and is going to kill me (or democracy) fast if we can't get him to move out the way. I'm calling him Manchinville.

Timeline is they will do a special procedure to map Manchinville late this month or early next depending on when they can grab an ER slot. Likely they will then move him out of the way at some point this summer. McConnellville will be incredibly unpleasant to deal with and we are currently looking at an August to september timeline.

* Saturday, we finally started the table top. This is the early medieval old school Wod with home brew rule alterations that I've been running off and on since I moved north in the late '90's. This is the third fresh group in it. There's a lot of altered history, because player characters do stuff to change it.

It was a mix of full vax in person and zoom. We have two people who never played before, who I had with me. Squirrel ended up Zooming from his room so he could see better, and coming out when we needed to do some quick one on one. Everyone else played via zoom. I was a bit worried about the mixed format, but I think we can make it work.

It was a bit messy as some people had lost or not finished their character sheets, and I was mostly doing a world building/characters get to know you session. Also, we were rusty and had forgotten some rules. I've got a bunch of long planning done and a short term plot for next session that I plan to build the Constantinople section on, so it should be good to go.

I got my PRIDE flags up before the game. some of you may remember last year's pride flag battle. i used stimulus to buy a Queer Chevron flag from a queer owned small business, so I have that up to. I already have a sound bite length argument if the HOA decides to fight me. We'll see if they do. They are beautiful and i love the light effect through them in the livingroom.

For those who have expressed concern via PMs in places I post ,ore real time, I am perfectly comfortable with the medical procedure time table. They are prioritizing Manchinville because he grows quickly, is already in a tricky location requiring a specialist's specialist to remove, and that's going to get worse the longer delay. They are trying to find me a procedure and a surgery slot as soon as they can in a hospital with a massive fucking back up from the pandemic. They also need to leave time for me to recover from the next procedure before surgery. The reason the McConnellville procedure is a much longer wait is because I will need to recover from a pretty serious outpatient surgery to move Manchinbville out of the way and the McConnellville stuff is physically pretty brutal on the body even though it's not particularly hard in every other way.

Seriously I and everyone on my care team think this scheduling makes sense given the givens. Yes, I am worried about the Manchinville surgery going wrong, but assuming they don't cut anything they shouldn't and they get it fast enough, I'll be okay. The McConnellville thing will be a few days of hell on earth, like right up there with genital surgery in my do not want to experience again book, but it's not that dangerous as procedures go as long as I'm not weakened from the other surgery. The wait is appropriate. It's okay. It'll be an ugly summer, but I expect to survive it, if that makes sense.

* ToS: Season 2 Rewatch:

- 2.23: The Omega Glory.

They find another Starfleet vessel orbiting Omega IV with no life signs, but beam over for some reason without any sort of protect from infection. How do they not even have 20th century tech level PPE? and they've gotten infected before doing exactly this, so there is zero excuse. Like, isn't this a job for space Suits? If it's a life form the suits would protect; if it's a pathogen, the space suits would protect them. Just saying. Anyway they find a bunch of uniforms with white powder where the people would be, which turn out to be the minerals in a desiccated human body. Log tells them they are dead and they should go to the planet and not return to infect their own ship. They actually listen.

A survivor (Captain Tracy) from the ship has broken the prime directive with the locals. The Survivor is living in a village of Asian locals, who are at war with the Yang, who are white 'savages.' This is the third time they used this basic plot, though this one annoys me less than the NAZI and Gangster iterations, even if the allegory alternate history thing is stupidly implausible. Sigh. Anyway, the infection is an old bio-weapon. The Yangs are massing for attack. Captain Tracy has been using phasors to help his hosts. Spock and McCoy are pissed. They agree formal charges make no sense, but they could take his phasor. He takes theirs instead and makes them prisoners.

Tracy tells the Enterprise the landing party is sick. They try to alert Sulu, but they are stopped. The locals are immune to disease and can live more than a millennia. Tracy wants Bones to work out how to get the near immortality without the dying if one leaves the planet part. Kirk loses a fight with Tracy. Kirk pretends to support the prime directive, which he only usually does when someone else breaks it. Tracy tosses him in a cage to fight the male Yang. Spock watches from the neighboring cage and makes comments that may or may not be snark. Eventually Spock neck pinches the Yang woman and the man stops fighting kirk to run to her.

Bones is working in a makeshift lab, while Spock tries to escape. Spock suspects the bioweapon destroyed the old civilizations. It turns out the Yang respond to the 'sacred word' freedom. Apparently they've been silent because they don't speak to Coms. The Yangs start helping, but Kirk collapses.

Bones says that after the war nature built up natural immunizing agents against the bioweapons. If the Exeter landing party had stayed a few more hours they'd have lived. The locals are long lived from evolutionary adaptation, so there is no fountain of youth to be found. Tracy reports that he massacred thousands but lost. Kirk, hysterical, screams at Tracy because he did this horrific thing on this planet for nothing. Bones joins in. The village will fall. kirk's like, we can just beam up. Tracy demands more weapons and makes him call for weapons at gun point. The bridge crew is rightly sticking to regs though.

Kirk tricks Tracy into draining the phasor, the Yangs capture them as they wrestle. Kirk works out Yang=Yanks, Com=Communists. Which is the bit I object to. Why would their be human Communists and Yankees with a US flag thousands of years ago on this planet? The whole thing would have worked better with allegory aliens than with literal 20th century humans from thousands of years ago turned "native american' who use the American pledge of allegiance. Tracy tries to convince them that Spock is Satan. (Given this was an early objection to Spock's original design, this is amusing). Kirk points out good is stronger than evil and talks them into trial by combat. Kirk and Tracy wrestle again. Tracy is beating up kirk yet again, so spock uses his variable strength telepathy on a Yang woman to get her to open a communicator. Kirk beats tracy, but won't kill him. The landing party beams down to arrest Tracy. The yangs try to worship them as Gods. Kirk says the sacred word weren't written for chiefs. "We the People" is for all the people. They literally have a copy of the declaration of independence. Shatner chews the scenery as he reads some of it dramatically. The Yangs promise to obey the declaration. "Liberty and freedom need to be more than just words."

They do not ever explain how the time traveling alternate universe Americans and Chinese got there. Sigh.

* Friday, I set an alarm because I had a lot of business hours phone bureaucracy. There will be yet more of it Monday. Also, I'm pretty sure I forgot something. In any case, Forage boxes arrived an hour before the alarm, and by the time I'd dressed and unloaded them, there was no point in going back to bed.

I talked to the physio, who shares my alarm at my deterioration, despite doing the exercises every day. she's out of safe exercises to add. it is time to start planning for when my right arm becomes mostly paralyzed. It's time to start looking into appropriate adaptive technologies for the scary ass level of damage I'm dealing with now. She's looking into OT referral. I'm to keep doing the exercises as it's important to encourage blood flow.

I'm right handed. I'm having a really hard time adapting to the slow death of my right arm. This is actually harder to adapt to and like decades faster than what happened to my legs.

I was exhausted, so went to bed very early and took half a flex to see if I could get the pain down to something more manageable for Saturday. I barely managed two litter boxes Saturday evening and still haven't changed the big tanks. I've warned Squirrel that I'm likely going to have to give up on doing litterboxes soon.

I got funding for the Aide (still winding through the bowels of bureaucracy) because of the fall risk. but honestly it's the arm, which somehow is not enough disability for an aide despite repeated serious scaldings that is why I really the fuck need an aid.

"I believe Christopher A. Wray is an honorable man, but I think in many ways the FBI is hamstrung in trying to investigate the white supremacist movement like the old FBI would,” Gomez said. “There’s some reluctance among agents to bring forth an investigation that targets what the president perceives as his base. It’s a no-win situation for the FBI agent or supervisor.”

Gomez said that reluctance stems in large part from the public criticism President Trump has launched against the FBI over the course of the bureau’s investigation into Russian election interference and the president’s ­conduct."

* I've been working with a system where I wash the pee cover when I get up and do layers of blankets and towels while it washes, changing them every tie she goes so they don't soak through. It ends up being about three loads a night. It's exhausting and I feel bad about how much water I'm wasting, but I'm really not doing well physically. I started to get better on the antibiotic, but then I back slid. Don't worry, I'm still doing the full ten days. I can't tell how much of the exhausted and ill is pathogen, allergen, antibiotic sickness, the heat, the punishing level of housework, the cat stress, the news stress, but I'm basically not able to get it together until after sun down, which tends to be late in this latitude. I've been down to once a week forage, which isn't enough with pickings so slim.

I am waiting for money to move into a form I can use to buy the special cat food. It wasn't there Monday, but it will be soon, I think. I want to thank everyone who contributed to the save Livia Kitten fund. My balance went 3.03 negative briefly because of the vet visit, but a paypal deposit rescued it same day so I didn't end up in an overdraft fee spiral. Adding in the pleasant surprise I woke to in my mail today, we should be able to handle this.

She's still peeing blood and blerping a little, but I think today there was less blood. (She did not go in the tub today which makes it more of a guesstimate). I know she had a good box pee this evening. I figure as long as she's eating and peeing, and behaving more like herself it's okay. I am still terrified. she on her part is scared I'm going to pill her even though we are done here meds course, poor beastie, and has had to pioneer some new safer feeling pettin locations. They all really are eating the goosh at a good clip.

I feel like I'm under siege and I'm falling behind on basic housework. The tanks all need changing, the floors all need a sweep and mop. Stupid things like that. I have been running out of essentials because I couldn't handle grocery shopping in the heat. Squirrel didn't work tonight and got the car back before midnight, so I did some night shopping up at the cheapy. They don't carry a bunch of things I need, but I got a hundred dollars of staples and perishables, including a bunch of easy to make protein.

At this spoon level, every step has a price, every time I bend over has a price.

I pushed as hard as I could to get through backlog this week end. I stayed up into morning heat and noise from the landscapers filling my apartment with lung choking allergens. I still found myself staring at an impossibly large pile of last Monday's news links.

I must apologize again on falling down on the news posting. We're at a hard physical limit here. I am trying. I really am.

Remember when there used to be slow news cycles? When things got fairly quiet in late December and for August Congressional recess? I fucking miss that. I miss having someone competent in the White House actually intelligent and diligent enough for the job. I miss when there wasn't an unrelenting firehouse of horror and sewage bursting out of D.C. 24/7. I need a vacation. I'm not getting one.

* Monday was meant to be forage, but my body hard vetoed that extremely emphatically. I'm pasted together barely on a physical level. The library books I meant to take back are sitting there all accusatory, but no way could I have done it. Three hours more sleep later I had bad shakes and nearly enough muscle control to go behind the wheel. I'm super strict about things like that. I couldn't possibly have done it, let alone safely, so I feel way less of a scrotum for failing.

In other cat news, the two of them jumping onto the desk in unison is startling and loud and I clearly need a third hand so Tavy can curl up in the crook of my arm while both cats get scritches. A little after 4AM Friday morning she had her first arm cuddle, something her host human said she liked. She only wants short ones just now, but it's more progress. They co-slept on my successfully for hours, but woke me trying to play on my person. I am instituting the no play on the human rule and Tavy was kicked out of bed, me moving suddenly having scared his accomplice away.

* I last saw the Star trek Animated Series when it was originally broadcast, so basically, when I was very young. We had the colorforms. So the animation is what one would expect of the early '70's. Lots of static things with small simple movements were they can get away with them. The alien ship in the premiere is lovely though and they are making good use of the style. The first episode is a classic ToS/TNG puzzle situation with a dead mystery ship and an alien organism inevitably trying to hijack the Enterprise, watchable and very Trek.
