feeling guilty for the idea of asking for help when we just spent money that could have gone to bills on new clothes, new cell phone for spouse, things for the house.
we have a reserve, it's just that has to last me through probably February/March, & it won't stretch that far easily, if at all.

in what I've done with my power #Wheelchair #WheelchairLife is I broke one of the footplates, leaving me with a single footrest for several days, so I ordered one to replace the the broken one.
I also ordered a hammock footrest & we put that on my chair and it's genuinely so much better.

Do you think it is a good idea to perpetuate the idea that there is ANY sort of morality in slaughter?
Some 60 million civilians in WW2
More than 3m in Korea a few years later.
Then at least 4m across Mainland SE Asia
Another few million across Latin America
More than 4.5m since 2001
You good?

For this morning's half-thinkers:
MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS ARE UNIVERSALLY GOVERNED BY INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND LAWS OF ARMED CONFLICT.
Can an individual be charged with civil crimes in addition to war crimes? YES!
Two things can be true, and your performative "this isn't war" shit does nothing.

Sorry I didn't specify well enough. NPR wrote a piece in 2007* about how nominating Hillary would be a mistake because of Bill's connections to Epstein.

had some fun with re-populating Guava with the necessary information but it's usable again.
rearranged some of my meds so that I wasn't taking every supplement all at the same time because that was getting to be a chore I did not look forward to; was starting to psychologically feel like choking.

trying to navigate the confusing world of community college politics when you have professors commenting on each others' policies in class is like being dumped into a maze where every wrong turn…

SSA decided that the first confirmatory exam they are going to send me for is an ENT to find out if I am physically Deaf or what is going on there, and audiometry with word discrimination, which should be funny; I have very little word discrimination most days.
however. the exam is in Lancaster.

You weren’t “aloof”.
You were protecting your nervous system.
You weren’t “uninterested”.
You were overstimulated.
You weren’t “self-isolating”.
You were seeking safety.
They called it avoidance.
But it was preservation.
This is the life of the autistic human.

& of course when I go to book my trip before going to bed (because it saves me doing so later), using the app, it says, "invalid booking Access time".
I don't know what in the seven hells that actually means.
I'm guessing the app doesn't want to work until business hours?

stop blaming peoples' unacceptable or violent behavior on mental illness.
point the blame at the feet of:

- the tea party garbage
- q-anon
- conspiracy theories
the modern far-right now has a martyr. don't let them use it.

The US arms Israel, protects Israel at the UN, pressures allies to support Israel, produces jokey AI videos, then wants credit for a peace plan?
Gaza is destroyed, tens of thousands are dead, many of them children, all with US blessing.
The US is a partner in this genocide, not a peacemaker.
