oh shit, I forgot about the part where actual real athletes get to *sleep* uninterrupted. Every night I have to stay up until midnight, do the weightlifting, then I get about 2.5 hours of sleep, then have to get up again and lift him again at 3-4 am. Then I can sleep til maybe 8 if I'm lucky

immediately after posting this, I had *just* put on nitrile gloves and started to clean part of the kitchen floor with TSP, because finally after 5 months I can actually use my right arm for cleaning, and he sneezed so I had to abort that and spend 5 minutes vigorously sucking snot out of his nose

you know what, I am a fucken *athlete* and it's really hard. It's like being an Olympic gymnast or figure skater, where everything is extreme precision, and, I am working with a partner but instead of a strong and capable partner, my partner is no longer either of those things. So it's all on me

one of the things I find most challenging about living with ALS is the weird assumptions people make I get it that you want to help, and I really get it that you don't know what to do. it's a really difficult situation because we seriously don't have the bandwidth to even consider what you could do

Here’s Chris Rufo and his podcast co-host addressing “the Indian question,” a reference to “the Jewish question.” That question was whether Jews could be incorporated into European society, and the Nazis were the ones who claimed to have developed the “final solution” to that “problem.”

The most loathesome and greedy people in Portland *hate* Mitch Green and are spending big money to try to take him out. That should tell you a lot about what the stakes are even before you hear about the good stuff he’s fought for.

i'm traveling and can't sit down to write out the portland police's history of using town halls, press conferences, and leaks to campaign against elected officials but they are repeat offenders and we should call it what it is: election interference by a cartel of armed washington state residents

Car dealers are a reliable and influential power bloc for Republicans. Today on Assigned, @emarcadia.bsky.social writes that Democrats should politicize them and pursue them and other bastions of Republican power as relentlessly as Republicans have pursued the Democratic coalition.

Republicans have long waged war against Democratic constituencies. What if we turned the tables?

okay fine. here’s a stupid thing I made which amused me: It’s a Pyrrosia in a crevice garden made of wood. In a plastic takeout dish.
Pyrrosia lingua, a tongue fern, its roots nestled between two slabs of wood, with a bit of moss, and the whole thing is in one of those black plastic takeout dishes that Thai restaurants use for noodle dishes. It feels appropriate to put plant roots in a noodle dish container I guess

Councilor Eric Zimmerman went on a local podcast and blatantly lied about his colleagues and the policies they support. He said, "We have 6 councilors who said they want to investigate Oregon businesses who do business with Jewish companies." This is a lie and is downright slanderous.

Unconscionable that 6 members of our city council gave up leverage over a fossil fuel company bc of a combination of legal scare mongering from the Zenith + lobbying from industry. Absolute dereliction of duty. I dunno about you but every time they do this stuff it just drives me to go harder.
