Just got my periodic reminder that narcolepsy can be pretty disturbing. Woke up yelling at a dog that _wasn’t_ in my apartment. Hoping I didn’t wake up the neighbor downstairs. Trying to stay awake for a few minutes so I don’t drop right back into that particular phantasm.

Just a reminder that Carnegie didn't start founding libraries and giving away his fortune until after the Homestead Steel Strike and the resulting legal and political backlash. Until then he was just the richest person in the world.

I just realized this week it will be 19 years since I had my first back surgery. Also, 19 years since I have been able to take a full breath without pain. Huh.

Just a reminder there are a lot of disabled people who wanted to be at the protests today but literally physically couldn’t. Don’t forget about us.

So the CEO of Lesser Evil spawned a greater evil. Buy generic kernels and make your own popcorn at home folks. You can even splurge and get organic kernels or add special toppings if you want.

Take a look at your friends and following lists if you are still on Meta apps. Had a couple of surprises in my lists this morning that I had to unfollow a couple times. Just an FYI.

While we are all talking about surviving this together, please remember that people with disabilities have always been forced to live in poverty to receive benefits in the US. We have always been forced to sue for basic accommodations. And anyone can unwillingly be disabled at any time.

Hey Irvington, thanks for shoveling all of the sidewalks on Washington except the corner by the plasma center. I mean, f**k all the people who have to use that sidewalk, am I right? Seriously, the people responsible for snow removal in Indy need to spend one day walking with a cane around here.

Good pain/fatigue day or not (definitely not!), it’s the day before Thanksgiving. That means baking cupcakes to frost in the morning. Also made some ham and bean soup and blackberry jam as well. I’m exhausted, but I will be well fed!

I’ve been wondering why I was having such a high pain night and trouble sleeping. I didn’t hear any rain. Turns out we had our first snow of the season. Time to put the film on the windows and the thermal blanket on the door again.

Does everyone who wants to go to the bathroom in the Capitol need to flash their genitalia at Nancy Mace and Mike Johnson so they can be sure they’re going in the right room?

You cannot be a radical feminist and exclude trans people. Trans-excluding radical feminist is an oxymoron.

The only reason to block a report of an investigation from the Ethics Committee is if the report shows that the person did what they were investigating and you don’t want the public to know the details.
