Saturday's Post

* A Note to My Readers: It is a pretty scary and intense time here in the USA.

Yes, I do progressive news aggregation here. That doesn't mean you have to read it, especially if it is harming your mental health. If you are feeling overwhelmed, for fuckssake turn off the news and go do things that feed your heart. The news will still be here when you are up to it.

Seriously, go do something fun or comforting. This is a marathon, not a sprint. You aren't going to accomplish anything good if you burn out, so take care of yourself.

Reminder: If you are reading the dreamwidth aggregation, the lighter stuff is generally at the bottom. If you are reading my Tumblr, you can blacklist News and just get the lighter stuff. It's really, really okay. I do things this way specifically to help people who have things like anxiety or who are going through heavy stuff or what have you. if you just need to unfriend me, that's okay too.

You don't ever have to justify taking a break. We all need one sometimes.

If I an missing content tags you need, let me know and I will do my best. You never have to justify these either.

They said we were alarmist and hysterical when we said everyone needed to vote for Hillary in 2016 even though we didn't like her so we could fill Scalia's seat (among other reasons). We were right. Everyone said we were alarmist and hysterical over Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. We were right. Everyone said we were alarmist and hysterical when we begged people to vote the whole ticket in 2020 because we needed a strong Senate majority to overturn the filibuster and strong state house majorities to protect the right to vote and stop the gerrymandering. We were right Everyone said we were alarmist and hysterical over the packed Supreme court over turning Roe and the right to privacy when we begged Biden and congress to take measures to re-balance. We were right. Everyone said we were alarmist and hysterical over the Supreme Court overturning the right of LGBTQIA+ people to exist, marry, have sex, have medical care. We are right.

You would think from how much I enjoy Lorca poems as an adult, that would be where I first encountered him, but no. I'd never heard of him before I went to see this play in college. My infatuation with his life and writing came after.

* Friday evening at 10:03PM we hasd the first illegal firework of the season. It was incredibly loud and right outside our window. Which the cats had been sitting it. Panic ensued. they are hiding as I type this.

Update 10:27PM: The cats would very much like for it to stop now, kthanks.

Update: It took a little over an hour after it stopped for poor wee Tavy to creep out for comfort cuddles. Livia hid for several hours more. They are not going to like when it starts in earnest tomorrow.

In good news, today is EBT day, which is good as i blew most of it on sick people food in the first half of the month and when it's hot, I mostly want to eat fresh fruit and yohurt based foods lately, since so many other things are ruled out.

* Saturday Head Millennial needed a ride to work, so we folded in more than half of the Wednesday errands. The place that sells Thai basil starts had Thai basil starts! (It's my favorite basil). I also got a bunch of fresh fruit and pre-marinated tofu there. (Yes, I know how to marinate tofu, but it would require me to know how long I can stand up and how much pain I'm in 2-3 days in advance. You see the problem). I'm still needing a lot of protein for recovery and many of the easier protein things, I can't manage without a working oven or reliable burners. (I can boil water and make rice, for example, even if it shut off the other night often enough it took twice as long. I can't do anything delicate where the burner shutting off at random intervals for increasing long amounts of time as the circuits deteriorate.)

We also dropped off some of my comic collection to sell off, and hit the cheapie grocery. (We were going to take the box Wednesday, but things happened, so we hid it under the in person forage equipment in my trunk. There's a lot of car theft around here lately, but I figure no one is stealing my ancient on it's last legs clunker from the '90's from way back were I park it when there are so many significantly better options in view from the street.) Poor Tavy spent most of Friday night and early morning freaking out because squirrel wasn't there so he couldn't see that he was all right after the explosions. (Squirrel gave him and extra long pet in the morning, but really he wanted him at 11:45 or so when he came out of hiding.) Having his beloved head Millennial over to putter about and do routine things really helped even the poor wee button out.

We can one small distant explosion while Livia was looking for Lawn Bunnies at 10PM. She popped here head out from behind the curtain and Looked at me like a character from the office. I adore her. She was not best pleased, but they do okay with an occasional small distant bang. The longer professional barrage on the 4th out on the Bay generally makes them nervous, but they usually recover quickly when it is over. It was having loud and close sporadic barrage for over an hour from inside the complex horseshoe that did their nerves in Friday.

When Squirrel left for work Saturday night, I was watching Columbo. When Squirrel got back from work Sunday morning, I was watching Columbo. Squirrel: O.o Why are you watching Columbo?!? Me: Because I've never actually seen it and he's been having a minor internet resurgence that last couple of years. So we talked about Columbo for a bit. Don't get me wrong, I knew perfectly well who Columbo was. He was a whole thing when I was a kid, and there were commercials and references and things, but I had only ever seen that actor play Columbo playing Bogart playing a gay Sam Spade parody in an unfortunately super racist, ageist, ablist etc. movie with a lot of shockingly high end acting talent in it from the '70's. (Even at the age of six when it came out, I was like: Should that white guy be playing a racist Asian stereotype in yellow face? Should they be mocking that other guy’s accent? Also, I was really incensed by that massive logic fail with the Sam Spade parody character. It's funny, I was just savvy enough at that age to get that the guy Colombo was playing was closeted, even though I didn't have vocabulary for it, but not savvy enough to work out that probably the adults thought making a Bogart tough guy gay was funny, instead of weirdly cool and humanizing, which was how tiny me read it. I say the Watsonian homophobia, but not the Doylist homophobia at six, basically).

Any way, we had a really good discussion about Columbo, which he HAD seen back in the day. We talked about the things we liked: probably autistic, working class hero's dogged pursuit of rich smug murderers, quietly tormenting the rich smug murderers over the course of the episode, using the arrogance and classist assumption of the rich smug murderers against them, etc.; and the things we didn't like: Real cops using his soft interrogation techniques to trick and coerce innocent people into incriminating themselves out here in meat space, glorifying cops going on their guts and then arranging a confession to match, etc.. I absolutely get the appeal and I really am enjoying them; at the same time, while watching I periodically find myself telling the cats "All cops are bastards, even Columbo," because he is doing something that is not okay.

Apparently Squirrel had seen a lot of cop shows from the '70's as a kid. He's a few years older than me, so remembers more TV things from the first half of the decade than I do just generally. I only remembered about half the shows he mentioned even existing, and the only one I'd actually seen was Kojak, and only because the reruns were one of a handful of things on in the middle of the night in the era before cable when I was too sick to sleep or read. Given my high fever on these occasions I didn't retain much. (This is also why I watched a lot of Beverly Hillbillies. Even I wouldn’t watch Green Acres though, no matter how sick I was.) My parents liked mystery shows, but not cop dramas, and this was the era of everyone in the house has to watch the same thing or not watch at all and you had to watch a thing when it was on. (They did watch Kolchak: The Night Stalker, because my dad would watch anything with monsters in it, basically; and they watched Hill Street Blues, like most people when it was new because there had been nothing like it before; and Barney Miller, which was transformative when it was new. They weren't into things like Kojak or Ironside. Columbo looks like my Mom's taste, but on the edge of it, and maybe it was on opposite something they did watch. idk.)

I still think it's funny that given how iconic Columbo was in it's day, in my head he's always been that guy who played gay Bogart credibly. (Yes, I've seen him in other things. I watch a lot of old movies. His voice is distinctive, but childhood impressions stick, and pretty much anything with a queer character in it got my attention in the vast TV desert of my childhood, even if what was going on was not okay from a modern perspective). idk.

* I apparently need a root canal if I want to save a middle molar I need for chewing on the more functional side of my mouth so that has to go ahead of the oven fundraising wise. The lowest local estimate I could get was in the 1200.00 range. We are still trying to save for a working oven, but it's less important than being able to chew. I don't know how much I actually need there as the price fluctuates. we were $5-600 short when it was on sale. I am disabled and medically fragile. Not having a working oven is messing with my nutrition, but again being able to use that side of my mouth is worse. For extra fun, I also will need 375.00 for housing tax at the end of the summer:
