Maybe time for those who don't experience this directly to return to this thread (which I posted when PTSD was being weaponized to relieve Graham Platner of responsibility for his actions).

Good day for a nap. In unrelated news, apparently two cocktails is one too many on a school night.

Any other asthmatics in Chicago having a tough time the last week or so? My asthma is usually pretty well-controlled but I'm definitely feeling it more lately. I know pollen counts are high.

Maybe I don’t make as much money as I would like, but I love that self-employment gives me the freedom to take a bike ride in the middle of the day.

Much of our sitting government is in office because it ignored rape or committed rape. At times, it seems like a job requirement. Much of our media has learned to ask evidentiary standards of survivors that they’d never hold a powerful man to.

If you are ever feeling down about the injustices in the world, It’s because there is an enormous propaganda machine trying to make you numb to the truth… and it didn’t work on you.

I hope they also go after the Cornell police who are either incompetent or (more likely) dgaf about women SA victims.

Went to new allergist today (old one is retiring) and explained I started shots etc. because I suddenly developed a allergy to cats. "And do you still have cats?" "Yes." "That's OK!" Nice to not hear "get rid of the cats!" since the whole reason I started treatment 13 YEARS AGO is to have cats.

I can't get my cat in for dental work (extractions) until the end of December. I would have thought that people might be putting off expensive vet care, but apparently not.

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

thehandbasket.co

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see

'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Obviously this is only one side of the story, but I'm struck (not surprised) by the casual misogyny and cruelty to his girlfriend. Claim that she's cheated on you and then kick her out of your shared home and don't return any of her possessions after she's spent years supporting your career? Cool.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

At best, older workers will struggle to find health insurance that bridges the years before they qualify for Medicare at age 65.
