dr said the bloodwork indicates diabetes. it has been maybe 2 years since i got bloodwork but there hasn't been any indication other than being relatively fatigued lately. if i am in fact diabetic, this is going to be bad. i don't think i have the discipline in me to keep the diet i'll need to
i very much need the used book store on my street to reopen. sometimes i want to browse books for the comfort it brings my brain
i always think of it in terms of how many people that equals and 270 is ~1.5 US citizens. good job!
A snapshot of a page of text. The visible text reads: "encouraged us and advised us not to be too strict in our anarchist doctrines (shulkhn-orekh)--wisdom that we did not have the courage to follow. 2) In times of great economic crisis, cold calculation aligns with the instinctive desire to live in community and, albeit to a small extent, to dispel worries about one's own increasingly difficult survival. The individual in a communist colony does not have to worry about rent, grocery bills, doctors' fees, medicine, and all the other banal items that make life difficult during times of unemployment in the capitalist disorder. These worries fall on the community, on the managers and officers when they come together to conduct business. One of our members, a middle-aged worker, expressed the situation in a characteristic way. He kept a few coins on the table in his room, with which he would often chat like so: 'So, you are cursed! I'm free of your evil reign (memshole)! I do not need to come to you anymore! Not to worry! I can move on quite comfortably without your mediation!" This attitude was shared by a large number of members. They found in it compensation for all the difficulties they faced."
Love this anecdote from Joseph Cohen’s “The Jewish Anarchist Movement in America.”
Describing a comrade who joined the Sunrise Colony, a commune that formed in the 30s near Detroit and later moving to Virginia: this guy was so happy to be free of currency that he would sit and yell at his coins.
just had a boomer in my meeting say she learned a new woke phrase "quality of life"
i hate this job

here's a PSA: if you have a guitar or other stringed instrument that you haven't played in a while, go loosen them strings.
i just picked up a strat from a family friend who hasn't played it in ~10 years. the action is 2mm too high at the twelfth fret. it's fixable but could have been prevented
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
I'm an extrovert. I bring all this energy back and feel like I'm burning out.
had dinner with a friend i haven't seen in a decade or so. it was really nice but underscores how shitty it is to come back to an empty apartment
foudn out the owner of one of the local breweries is a transphobe so i guess i'm not going there anymore
now that elon has apparently embraced christianity, i wonder if he's yet run across luke 19:1-10. verse 8 seems particularly pertinent
Damn, you lost your soul but didn’t even gain the whole world? I’m embarrassed for you.
made plans to see a friend tonight but i'm so fuckin tired. maybe i'll take a little cat nap on company time
feeling really great today. man, this is a nice change
this one's gonna be good, folks. get hyped!
being a christian growing up and understanding the diversity of thought therein actually helped me understand what people meant when i was told "x aren't a monolith." maybe it should be obvious but when you're raised a certain way, etc etc
ok i read a lot anyway but this would fuckin slap
am i just bored and sick or is the lisinopril also making me feel fatigued?
don't get old, kids
People who like AI art will buy a beautiful mid century house and paint over a beautiful brick and natural wood floors with the ugliest shade of grey
the pup needs food and i am fighting with everything in me to leave the house and get it for her. fuuuuuuuck my brain
i'mma check this one out but did you try the cursed words demo? i spent a few hours with it the other day and it was a lot of fun.
i have absolutely no excuses not to take the pup for a long walk today but i can't seem to summon the damn energy
am i dissociating from the state of the world or the fact that my bp was so high the dr almost sent me to the er this morning? only God knows at this point
i don't think we can pretend but have been trying to find times when i can unplug. play a game or some music or leave my phone at home when i walk the dog. it's not a perfect system but it helps some
i have been playing guitar a lot. i'd guess at least an hour a day. so of course i notice when the strings start to go. it's taking between two and three weeks before they start sounding dull. i wonder if ernie ball would give me a bulk discount...
got a huge fucking gas bill this month. they still haven't fixed the door to my fire escape. time to become the tenant from hell until it's fixed
i read this as "eat" instead of "make." the indigestion and other problems would still be preferable
"the entire world is ending soon
but that gas mask is makin me goon"
A sticker on a guitar. An automatic weapon and "DEFEND EQUALITY" are in front of the trans flag colors.
