Every time Social Security does a cost of living adjustment and raises my benefits a little bit my foodstamps go down, because my income went up. 🙃 I am fortunate to have excellent community support but not everyone has that extra support. I feel both frustrated and grateful at the same time.

I am so ready for fall. I am celebrating the rain, baking, and changing my profile pictures to a fall color theme. It's still 70-80°F but whatever, haha.

i got Disney+ for 2.99 a month for 3 months, so i guess tv is my whole life for a while. i can't get out of bed much right now anyway. lots of Marvel movies to catch up on and a few Star Wars things as well. too much tv makes me physically sick, so i still have to pace myself. my body sucks, always.

just a little life update. i got a ductless heat pump installed in my home, and it is amazing. i have to get an mri with contrast next week, and i hate that for me. the mri part is ok, but with contrast is yucky. I've had so many mris i feel like i should have a punch card and get one free.

I'm spending a little less time here right now. I'm running a Gofundme to pay for HVAC installation in my home. It's a big project so I'm busy busy! I'm back on facebook and instagram more so that i can share the Gofundme there.

stuff n things. read the alt text for context.
a brown aquarium snail with one small tuft of green algae growing up from the shell. i think it looks like a fluffy ostrich feather standing straight up on a fancy hat.a get what you get farmers market produce box laid out on my kitchen counter. a bag of cut kale leaves that are purple and green, three big heads of bok choy, a head of lettuce, a bunch of green onions, and 3 lemons. luckily, i really really love bok choy! a purple flower standing out from a green groundcover background. the flower has six long and narrow petals. it is a native bulb in my area and was eaten by native americans here. i really really love native plants.a cluster of forget me nots in full bloom. the flowers are tiny and blue. i just think forget me nots are so cute, and blue is an unusual color in a garden.

The meme has two frames. The first frame shows a man sleeping on his stomach. The text says, "First, i was like..." The second frame shows the same picture of the man sleeping on his stomach, and the text says,"Then I was like..." So, first he is sleeping, and then he is still sleeping.

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing. Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

now i have a bad case of Post Exertional Malaise, and all i can stand to watch is Bob Ross. also, it occurs to me that the word "malaise" is an absurdly mild descriptive word for what is actually happening to my body right now. #ME/CFS problems 🤷‍♀️
picture of a tv screen. Bob Ross is a Caucasian man with a short beard, mustache, and fluffy hair. he holds a paintbrush and painter's palette. on his right, there is an easel holding a finished painting of a forest and mountain landscape. the subtitles read, "from all of us, happy painting, God bless."

How it started, and how it's going... the evolution of a planted shrimp tank.
5 gallon aquarium with a few pieces of wood, rocks, sparse plants, and black sand. long led light clipped to the top right edge. the same 5 gallon aquarium 2 years later. the wood pieces and rocks are the same, but the plants are significantly bigger and thicker. a few new plants have been added, and orange sunkist neocaridina shrimp have been added. a new, shorter, upgraded led light is clipped to the left side now, and the old light was removed. the black sand is thicker on the left side now because I added some special plant substrate to that side under the sand. The most notable difference is the thick and lush plants that fill the tank space.

FYI
close up photo of an eye with rainbow makeup on eyebrow and lower lash line. words written on the face say, "IF BEING GAY WAS A CHOICE I'D BE GAYER." I think the eye looks to be in the middle of an exhausted or annoyed eyeroll, but I could be wrong about that.

"I sometimes fear that people think that fascism arrives in the fancy dress worn by grotesques and monsters as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.
But fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up your neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you....
It doesn't walk in saying, 'Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war, and persecution?
In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949), I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it.
A lack of empathy.
It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men.
Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy."
Quote: Captain G.M.Gilbert, the army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg Trials.

This is Ralph. His body composition is approximately 40% ear. But that does not mean he wants to listen to your podcast. 12/10 (IG: ralph_kd0821)
a black and tan dachshund puppy stands in front of a blanket pile and looks at the camera. his long ears hang down lower than his chin, and they’re fanned backwards slightly so you can see their tan interiors and little black tips. his right ear covers up most of his long sausage body so you can just make out his black rump and little tan back paw. his tan eyebrow dots are raised slightly and he’s looking at you with a stoic, closed-mouth defiant expression.

To be disabled is almost always to be traumatized. It’s living in a body that can’t keep you safe. It’s doctors dismissing you. It’s family and friends abandoning you. It’s living in a society that doesn’t see your value. It’s constantly having to prove your life is worth living.
