"All 33 million residents of Assam, a state bordering Myanmar and Bangladesh, had to provide documentary evidence, such as a property deed or a birth certificate, showing that they or their ancestors lived in India before 1971. Those who could not would be declared foreign migrants, at risk of being sent to huge new detention camps.
More than two million people, many of them Muslims, failed to pass the test and could end up stateless. The governing party of Mr. Modi has vowed to extend the test to other parts of India.
The government has said the test was intended to root out undocumented immigrants from Bangladesh. India’s home minister, Amit Shah, has repeatedly referred to these migrants as “termites.”"

* The Refrigerator is officially fixed. It really was a very easy repair of yu have the right toolsand know what you're doing. It was absolutely nothing I could fix myself. It turns out Rubbermaid makes a kick ass cooler. As in, the large baby sized ice block I had put in the bottom was barely even a tiny bit melted and most of the loose ice stayed intact. It did fit in the storage unit with the small borrowed cooler inside. Like, all the perishables made it through from Friday to Sunday. I lost half my food at least in the initial emergency, but nothing over the weekend. It's nice and cool/cold and the ice maker is happily making ice.
I did my Solstice thing, but was too tired after to even touch a computer, hence Sunday being all preprogrammed stuff on tumblr and it being crickets on Dreamwidth. I am till finding things and returning them to their proper homes, as the table clearing had to be hasty.
The great fish migration is going to be next Saturday. *crosses fingers* I spotted a live whiptail in the by the door twenty and those are the worst to catch and transport. Current plan is to migrate the other twenty across to the thirty and what until I hear from the contractor in January to see if I actually have to move the door twenty at all. If I do, they will join their comrades in the office thirty. If not, after the renovation I'll move the tank with fish inside across the living room and put the thirty back on it's pedestal in the living room where the door twenty currently is.
Today I went out to do forage, library and pick up a few replacements for things that died in the fridge last week. It was a good forage in a lot of ways (pistachios!), but was light on bread and fresh veg. Then I went through a stack of yet more phone bureaucracy. They are not cancelling my medicaid, it turns out, but the COLA on Social security starting January was just enough to push everyone on Social Security out of the Categorically needy program into the Medically needy program, which despite the you are going to lose some benefits wording is essentially the same according to the Health and Human Services guy. I have not started the end of year bureaucracy packet, which came last Friday, but a lot of Friday's phone bureaucracy was me calling around to get people to mail me the documentation I need to do the packet. Obviously, none of that is here yet. The weekend ate all the spoons, and I'm wiped today from errands. Hopefully, I'll get my shit to do the parts I can manage with the paperwork I have in the next three days, and fill in the bits that need documents when they turn up. Then I laboriously put forage away. Squirrel emptied the dishwasher yesterday, so there was room for me to reload it. Which meant exhausting and painful prewashing. I still have one side of the sink worth of prewashed things ready for the next load. Sigh.
I still have a lot of last week's news to chew through on top of toy's stuff. My hope is, I'll have a chance to catch up this week.
* I want to thank all of my readers. no really, y'all make me feel less like a voice crying in the wilderness or Cassandra speaking prophecy to those who don't listen.
I especially want to thank those of you who helped keep Livia kitten alive through her medical crisis. Seriously, she would have died without you all coing together to pay her vet bills and get her the food she needed/s to stay alive. She seems to be doing really well on limited ingredient shreds and odds are I'll be getting normal limited ingredient turkey based grain free kibbles and try transitioning her off the prescription kibbles in January once I'm in funds again. She likes the shreds so much she looks forward to them every day, milling around excitedly when she thinks I'm making them and giving one small worried squeak if I'm too slow. I make the sounds that means it's coming and she is reassured. Elder kitty thinks the shreds are the best food ever, and I think they are helping her digestion. Elder Kitty is doing so well, it like the clock has turned back to when her cohort clowder were alive. she's still frail, but she's eating better, has taken back all her common area nap spots and seems to have mostly recovered from her long depression.
I also wanted to give a special thanks to everyone who helped keep the car, dishwasher, and refrigerator running. You are all super stars.
