Nah, going to be worse for Mamdami because he's young, brown, and socialist.

So anyway, I now have an intake appointment next week with a neurologist, and I'm working on preparing a 1-page summary of my history to send to them for them to hopefully read ahead of time.
I mean, realistically, they probably won't, but it would sure save both of us a lot of time.

I dunno, maybe LOOK INTO IT?!?! Like, what's the alternative - I just live in daily pain every time I take a step?? I mean, I may have to ultimately live with this (I desperately hope not) but, like, WTF DON'T GIVE UP SO QUICKLY.

I pushed for one, and his reply was,
"Ok, but I don't know what they'll do."

He kept coming back to, "Well, your MRI" [the one I had in April] "looks great." That didn't bother me - what irritated me was that he basically shrugged at my issues and didn't offer a neurology referral.

Small update: last Wednesday I got a call from my neurosurgeon's office that he had a cancellation and could bump up my appt by a month, so of course I jumped at it.
I was pretty sure he wouldn't have any clue what was going on, and I was correct.

My Insta feed has NEVER been so full of younger Millennials & Gen Zs talking politics in a specifically *pro-candidate* way. Textbook "don't just tell us what you're against, tell us what you're FOR." Honestly beautiful.

In Norwegian we have the expression "Som fanden leser Bibelen" – literally "Like the devil reads the Bible".
Do you have that in English?

The community then danced into the night while police blocked any traffic. They even had fireworks.

Was going to reply to this. Riding a bike is one of many things my brain surgery took from me because I can't balance anymore.
(Waiting for people to tell me all about adult tricycles now, lol)

The way Frankenstein stories usually work, the creation rising up to destroy its creator is presented as a bad thing - but only because the creator means well.
…But maybe when the creator is a bigoted, ignorant, arrogant psychopath, the creation’s rebellion isn’t so tragic after all.
