OK these might be the last scenery pics, because I'm getting up to about five minutes+ of fighting with the iPhone auto-focus to not latch onto the increasingly dirty window per successful photograph, which is making it difficult to actually enjoy the view.

 Yes Jon, we know you only see trans people as sexual objects to be used and not human beings to have actual relationships with.

  But do please be quiet while the adults are talking. You aren't keeping up with the topic.

OK, the concrete workbench is disassembled and packed flat... Only had one minor catastrophe when I had to rip out a stripped screw (after carefully filing flats on the side of another one whose head was proud enough to get at), but it wasn't a major loadbearing connection.

🪵 2026/09/26 A friend sent some emergency funds so I could get to an urgent care visit... ...But I'm still trapped in the labyrinthine nightmare liminal space they opened a portal to when North Carolina privatized our Medicaid. 😰
OK I had to fight with my insurance providers website until my chest hurt but I think I managed to get it to spit out a list of urgent care providers I can
go to
10:05 AM 
naturally when using their weird search function if you hit the big button that says find an urgent care none of them
show up in the results

10:31 AM well I tried calling one of the places and after fighting through an automated system it just rang for a minute or two and then hung up on me. Ran out of spoons for a while after that. Eventually found on that hospitals website that all of their urgent care locations were listed with a different number. I finally got the spoons together to try calling that and it just dumped me into an our office is closed
message.
The options my insurance returned were three of that hospitals urgent care offices, one practice that when you Google has moved to Kernersville, and then a bunch of results that just
have the word "Care" in them
37m OK putting it inside of quotation marks got me some better results since they
are returned in no discernible order
30m Aaaaand the next place I called was all oh yeah come on down as long as you're here before three until they asked what my insurance was and said they don't actually accept it despite my insurance company and their
website saying so
