How many people are out here with American healthcare, learning how to operate on themselves because they still can’t afford to get care from an actual doctor, surgeon, etc

I just spoke to the surgeon who removed a cyst last winter. I’m going to need a new one removed. She told me to come in sooner than later bc Kaiser will soon call this a full charge “cosmetic procedure” It’s upsetting because my last procedure basically saved my life! She cleaned out an infection.

The Kaiser Permanente medical system is a joke, if you desire anything further than 15 minute video meetings to get medication prescriptions. The pharmacy’s home delivery option is nice tho.

Oregon Country Fair is basically private school for hippies. There’s much to learn about this aspect of Oregon culture, and it actually costs a lot to seem like we’re all living off the land or whatever.

Duckworth Dock is not accessible by car, which may be why the view up and down the river feels so extra special. You literally can’t see the city like this, from the car on highway.

I’m a PFSP worker using my unpaid lunch break to say this: I can’t afford to work for Portland Public Schools. A COLA adjustment that doesn’t keep up with inflation is effectively a pay cut.

Today is the seniors last day of school in Portland high schools. Were my parents as worried about the state of the country / world when I graduated in the 2000s? I feel like this is measurably worse than the 2008 “financial crisis.” I think we had more hope and resilience back then.

Returning to Seattle every once in a while is great, cuz I grew up here so I only experienced the city from a child’s POV. Now I get to re-experience this place as an adult and it’s So Fun.

I used to be open to the idea of having my own kids. But I wanted to do that by the time I was 29. My body hurts all the time and I can’t imagine putting myself through all that now, as an exhausted and broke 37.5 year old living through late stage canibal (I mean “capital”) -ism.

Today my school district’s HR dept sent out an entire newsletter of AI slop. And teenage boys made rape jokes in school. And national Canvas system down so teachers got instructions about writing a note in the grade book if they didn’t have their grade data in time for today’s progress reports.

There’s less than 7 weeks of this school year left, which means I have a couple months to figure out a new job situation so I can be out of public education by mid August. If you pray, please pray for me.

My partner and I work in Portland Public Schools. He's an art teacher. Apparently, one of the two schools he teaches art at is no longer able to supply any pencils for his art classroom. The Portland Arts Tax was such a nice idea, but these outcomes fall so short of its intended goals...
