* My lungs are at the full blown infection needs antibiotic stage. I HAD a Doctor's appointment tomorrow, but we had snow. So much snow. Leaving the house is out of the question dangerous for me given the physical realities, so I'm just going to have to hang on until Wednesday a week. Which is not good, given the Dolphin Festival where I have commitments. *facepalm*

* Me watching Father Brown: Ah. First episode and we have a predatory bisexual rapist trope.
Several episodes later: Father Brown sure is on site for a lot of murders. Are we sure he's not a serial killer? How big is this town anyway.? I mean that is a lot of murders for a small community isn't it? Are we absolutely sure Father Brown isn't a serial killer? How about Lady Felicia? I mean, she finds a LOT of bodies.

* Betsy DeVos is in, despite being impressively ignorant and being in favour of destroying Public Schools.

* They are censuring Elizabeth Warren for impugning Jeff Sessions by reading Coretta Scott King's letter from his last confirmation hearing in which Republicans found him too racist for the Federal judiciary into the current congressional record as part of his confirmation hearing for Attorney General. True things that are pertinent to his fitness to serve are being considered a slur, basically. If the truth is an insult, isn't that rather disqualifying? How can they hold fair hearings if evidence is barred on the grounds that it that shows he is unfit? How does this make any sense at all?

A white man silenced Coretta Scott King and censored her words during Black History Month.

Mitch McConnell, a white male Republican, wants to remind you that accurately pointing out evidence that someone is a racist is way more offensive than being one and taking away the right to vote from citizens of colour because of that racism.

* I am posting this again as Elizabeth Warren just got silenced for trying to read it into the Congressional record.

* I am now too sick to sleep longer than 10 minutes or so at a stretch. As a result my mental acuity in not what it ought to be. I apologize for the ways this is likely to effect postings, but there is nothing much to be done about it. I can't afford to be sick, as I need to raising about $70.00 for annual car registration, plus I'm about $150.00 behind on other bills, which means I ought to be selling off more BPALs, but I am a germ factory right now and no way am I handling oils like this. Grrr.

I am a couple hours in on the Black Sails Commentary, but I can't guarantee speed with my head the way it is.

I am officially sick enough that medicinal tea tastes really good, and I am longing for magic soup because the queasy would be worth it to be able to lie down and breath without interruption.
