It is essential to contact your Congress Critter in the house and ask them to vote for this bill.

* We are in primary season now. States vote at different times, so I beg ALL of you to check when your state is voting. If you are in an in-person vote state, research ahead of time so you can vote for the candidate with views closest to your own. If you vote by mail, take the time to look them up when your ballot comes.

THIS is how you move the party further LEFT.

Primary schedule here:

* "2026 Statewide Primary Calendar:" https://www.270towin.com/2026-state-primary-calendar/

I don't know where you live, so I can't link this for you, but I find the Progressive Voter Guide online very helpful in narrowing down candidates in the often packed primaries where I live.

I also suggest looking at things like volunteer work and endorsements, because it really, really helps with things like sheriff and judicial elections, but can be useful in all sorts of primaries when you have multiple good options.

REMEMBER: Don't just vote for the big things like US Congress. Vote in every State and local race down to the smallest and on all the referendums.

State and local elections have a massive impact on your quality of life.

I started blocking the one I can't prove is not medicare starting the weekend past, on the grounds that I tried telling "Paige" that I was going to block their number as spam if she didn't stop talking over me and when she stopped for air I said "You aren't listening to me!," then started to ask my question, so she started yelling her opening schpeil to drown me out again. I gave the warning a second time anyway, so hang up and block everytime they call. Insurance companies can afford a lot of autodialers though and Paige calls me once or twice a day anyway to jolt me from sleep. Eventually I will block enough of them to get real rest.

Livia is not recovered from all the disruptions and is fundamentally wary of pretty much everything right now.

The dentist was fixing where a bunch of small fillings from the oughts crumbled behind my front teeth. It feels weird, but I like my new bite better than the one the old fillings gave me. I think another couple of fillings from the '90's and oughts are gone too, but further back, and I suspect I've developed a couple cavities in the last month, but there is nothing to be done until next x-ray.

* A friend kindly printed a document I needed for the way harder than last time housing paperwork and went out of their way to drop it off. Unfortunately, my sleep's been a mess, so I stared and stared at the paperwork, but couldn't work out what exactly they were asking for part of it, so I'll have to try a a different night. Related note: I hate ambiguous directions on if you fill it out wrong they may send you to jail financial paperwork. I swear renewal was easier last time. Sigh.

I can't afford to procrastinate to long because while the results don't kick in for a year, it's a long lead time on processing and if I fuck this up we basically can't live here anymore and I can't imagine being able to afford to move either. It's nightmare fuel, really.

The other thing for today got postponed, which I don't mind because I had all the computer/connectivity issues today. The Lemon Lenovo had a minor freak out I had to trouble shoot involving a bunch of maintenance. We lost connectivity a few times, once for a while. A site I need if I intend to accomplish things was down for hours and keeps crashing. Livia is still having nightmares and I need to go in there to calm her down with loves.

Why am I so hungry lately? It is annoying and food is expensive.

In other news, as good as I thought The Hymn to Dionysus was it just kept getting better. I can't recommend that book highly enough. I have been quietly waiting for the pennies to drop for the main character. It turned out to metaphorically be more like a roll of quarters. Delightful!

Also, my friends keep asking interesting questions on the internet. I love y'all. This is what the Internet is for. :)

* At log off Thursday morning I had that failure where all my links disappeared, which is catastrophic since Firefox removed the restore previous session option several years ago for no apparent reason. Which means I'm likely to be trying to find and reorganize all my links possibly all weekend. Lets hope not, but I'm not sanguine.

I was hoping to post aggregate tonight in any case ahead of no kings, so I'm doing that, but you know how I'm a month and a half behind? Yeah, that's about to get worse.

At least Waterfox kept all my data in the recent up date. Yay, Waterfox!

* The Hymn to Dionysus by Natasha Pulley:

I am entirely enjoying The Hymn to Dionysus by Natasha Pulley, which is blowing me right the fuck away. So many ancient Greek reimaginings drive me right up a wall because of my academic background. This? This is genius built on a monumental knowledge of art history, archaeology, surviving sources, and modern scholarship all wrapped up in a good story and a really fun narrative voice.

I have a ways to go yet, but Natasha Pulley clearly knows what she is doing with Dionysus.

This is So fun!

I know this is something I'm going to want on my shelf.
Update: As good as I thought The Hymn to Dionysus was it just kept getting better. I can't recommend that book highly enough. I have been quietly waiting for the pennies to drop for the main character. It turned out to metaphorically be more like a roll of quarters. Delightful! I am obsessed.

I read the notes at the back.

She's like: I didn't do any research on this one. I just learned to read ancient Greek and then read a long list of books.

Cue me, looking directly into the camera like a character on the office.

Tell Your Senator to Block Markwayne Mullin from Taking Over I.C.E.. There isn't much chance of permanently blocking him because senators like to rubber stamp other senators no matter how horrible, dangerous, or incompetent they are, but we can try to delay the process.

* We are entering primary season just generally. States vote at different times, so I beg ALL of you to check when your state is voting. If you are in an in-person vote state, research ahead of time so you can vote for the candidate with views closest to your own. If you vote by mail, take the time to look them up when your ballot comes.

THIS is how you move the party further LEFT.

Primary schedule here:

* "2026 Statewide Primary Calendar:" https://www.270towin.com/2026-state-primary-calendar/

I don't know where you live, so I can't link this for you, but I find the Progressive Voter Guide online very helpful in narrowing down candidates in the often packed primaries where I live.

I also suggest looking at things like volunteer work and endorsements, because it really, really helps with things like sheriff and judicial elections, but can be useful in all sorts of primaries when you have multiple good options.

REMEMBER: Don't just vote for the big things like US Congress. Vote in every State and local race down to the smallest and on all the referendums.

State and local elections have a massive impact on your quality of life.

* "The incredible story of a gay interracial love affair in the midst of WWII:" https://www.advocate.com/history/wwii-love-affair

* Sunday night to early Monday, I had so much to do, but I did not have twelve hours to do it in. Sigh. Between prep and getting essential things set up for tumblr and added to the aggregate scaffold and the aggregate posted and the scaffold cleaned for next week and assorted other things I need to keep on top of… well, that was the night mostly gone.

Really I should have been trying to speed run a bunch of maintenance and set up for the coming week. Instead I got distracted trying to clean up after the waterfox mess after the upgrade. I'd worked on it a bit right after it happened and since and set up a temporary work around, but we were at the point the separations and inter-collations were wasting a bunch of time constantly in small increments and it was fucking up work flow, which is a problem as I'm already two weeks behind posting and it's just going to get worse, most like.

I bit the bullet and sorted it out properly. Finally. My initial estimate was two hours to fix. I am guessing it was more like an hour and half when you figure in the smaller bits of work with about an hour of it spent very early Monday morning. It was still incredibly annoying.

It is possible that over the next month there may be some duplicate tech/science/climate/history links mixed in with non-dup0licates. I am sorry about that.

I am grateful cleaning up after a waterfox update no longer takes a whole weekend to fix.

Ideally, I should be going to bed as I was writing this. It is Monday and Monday and Tuesday are a lot by themselves, but I need to pick up some food I ordered last month at the co-op. (My Co-op like a lot of Co-ops will give you a discount if you order a case of something they carry or a distributor carries, so it is sometimes very worth it to order a case of something shelf stable that gets used a lot. Also, they take food stamps.) Also, My EBT came in and I am out of a couple things I couldn't afford when I scored the supplement last month, and some of those things I kind of want for dinner tonight. Plus oranges. And juice. I suspect I'm short on vitamin C again.

I should probably also see about paying housing tax and find out WTF with the car tax before I end up blowing it on things like gas, light bulbs, and cat litter like the profligate I am. Sigh.

* Monday night we had that thing where we searched the apartment to try to find the fire, only to discover the smoke was coming from fires outside. This being terrible for my lungs and sinuses, me not having been able to get sleep because so many people calling and errands, plus the general wear and tear of physio meant I spent about twenty hours in bed (not counting bathroom breaks) with Livia. I did manage lying down physio, but the other physio was right out. I ended up just eating bread because I couldn't handle the standing required to dish out leftover lasagna and mike it.

I think the air quality must have been better Tuesday night as I smelled no fires and my lungs gradually improved after the arrival of the night winds from Alaska. I still feel crappy, but at a more bearable level.

* I continue to really struggle with my body. We had a couple days of decent air quality and I got decent rest as a result, but I still need to spend a lot of time lying down and not doing much of anything. Even on the good days I have hardly any time I can spend standing and walking, so I have to be very strategic with it. Mostly I have been trying to do tank, garden, and plant maintenance outside of that one grocery run early in the week to the closest grocery for perishables mostly. I did read most of an ILL. I shall assuredly finish it soon as it's a biography and the subject has turned sixty. (He lived to be old, even by modern standards, which given his period and lifestyle is a bit startling). I have watched a lot of netflix and Tubi and have been having thoughts about impressively political Thai drama (Queer and Horror).

If you have good suggestions for Queer and/or horror shows and movies from Thailand, let me know.

Anyway, the upside of having more than four or at best of functional out of my room time is I have actually accomplished some things. The downside is I have no sleep cycle and must accept whatever random stuff my body is doing. Even my meds cycle has been disrupted. Sigh.

Livia's been getting more and more into sleeping while pressed against me, which I liker. (she will take short naps on me on occasion, but she's very sensitive, and I think small movements I make in my sleep unnerve her if she's on top of me, where as next to me on the support pillow pressed against my leg and/or body and/or arm is companionable while allowing her higher quality sleep. She's out of her room a little more lately, but I still can't get her to curl up in her desk box, like she used to. I can get her to play with her rainbows, but she mostly isn't interested in feather time, and if she's bug hunting at all, it's while I'm lying down.

I worry. She's spent all Winter at Summer weight instead of winter weight, because she wasn't eating much in her early anxiety and grief. She's eating the summer amount now, but it's only stopped being cold at night this week. IDK.

I'm still trying to working out how to juggle bills and housing tax this month. I'm definitely not paying one of the big bills. I think I can partial pay on one of the other big ones and juggle to cover housing tax, but there's almost no margin and a bunch of things are 2 or 3x what they cost before Trump decided to fuck up the economy.

Squirrel's still on partial pay from the work injury. Their physio is going well, but we still don't know if they will need surgery. They absolutely can't help with housing tax or my bills in a pinch. They are drowning in theirs.

* I stand by my belief that a core problem all the modern Star Trek has is the truncated seasons don't give any of the episodes time to breathe. It's hard to flesh out characters properly or fully explore their arcs and also jam in plot, so both end up suffering.

In my opinion, Strange News Worlds suffers from this most and Starfleet Academy handles it best, but they'd be so much better served by the longer seasons classic Trek series got.

I love Starfleet Academy. I think everyone is doing amazing work with the resources they've been given, but I keep wishing they had 20-25 episodes a season to spread out into and enough budget to let Darem and his species mostly wear their real faces, or at least to properly do that for the wedding episode.

As a trans person who is not a Christian, I was not a fan and I side eye a bunch of things that happened under his watch as far as cover ups and corruption. That said, he was better than I had any hope of him being and so much better than predecessors in so many ways and on so many issues. He DID represent progress, even though he didn't go as far as one would wish. His anti-authoritarian moves were important.

I am really worried about what comes next.

So many things are getting so much worse. I would love for the catholic Church to keep moving forward, even if not as quickly as I would wish, instead of back sliding into horror.

* Wednesday, on my way out the door to collect Millennials for group errands, I found a bureaucracy packet. Worryingly, it was not the standard bureaucracy packet. O.o It takes the same documents I already had assembled for the late April or early May bureaucracy, which helps, but also suggests a second, more complicated bureaucracy will arrive soon.

I worked on it the whole time Millennials were here, and finished it, except for the one piece I need someone to print off the computer. Last time I circled and labelled the relevant items on the bank statements and it worked out. It would be better to belt and suspenders it, but in any case I hope to drive the packet and documents up there for copying, stamping, and filing.

I like to turn them in as early as I can just generally, but speed is extra important now, given the givens.

Bonus I have all the items ID number marked so when I have to take them back to the same office within the month that will speed things up a bit on my end. *eye roll*

I did not sort the things assorted people dumped on the floor and shoveled back in the wrong place repeatedly last Summer and Autumn, but I need to. I keep a year of documents out in case there is random surprise bureaucracy in the off season (Which really does happen). I just need to go through them now before boxing them for seven year storage, in case something got in there that shouldn't.

So that's a couple hours, but less urgent.

It did eat my whole evening, alas.

* …And despite the Millennials being told they were cleared to work, they for some reason haven't been reinstated and are not getting paid. Fuckssake!

So phone bureaucracy tomorrow, I guess.

Bonus: I managed to really fuck up my hand about 7 minutes after they left for the night checking if Tavy's pads were dry. Sigh.

* "Social Security Backtracks on DOGE Phone Service Cuts After Media Report:" https://www.newsweek.com/doge-pushes-social-security-administration-cut-off-phone-service-report-2043708

This is why we need an independent media. This is why we need protests.

Why is this important? The Social Security Administration has a notoriously difficult website to use. It requires a special log in thing that most people do not have. (Including me.) Sometimes they will issue you one and not tell you what it is if you get it at an SSA office. They don't, say email it to you, which would be useless in any case for people who don't have internet access or have disabilities that make using the Internet extra hard, and for people who often are older than the internet and have little to no appropriate skills, or are home bound and can't get to library, or have had their local library cut and also just had the SSA office near them closed, or.... You get the idea.

Approximately 80% of people on Social security or applying for benefits use the phone service, because it actually works if you are patient, unlike the glitchy and difficult to access web site.

This cut is really about denying people who paid into the system getting access to the benefits they paid for.

It also really fucks up seniors and people with disabilities who need things like Medicaid and EBT on top of their Medicare as those programs often require a proof of income letter once or twice a year that must be issued within 1-3 months of turning in your paperwork. (Exactly details are state by state. My state is once a year up to three months. My state is super lenient because it's been unified Democratic rule for decades and it works at keeping citizens alive instead of trying to kill them off). So do a bunch of other programs for seniors and people with disabilities. I have to interact with this phone system 2-4 times a year, depending on which of my services need re-upping.

The knock on effects of the planned cuts would have been huge!

Stay noisy! Save lives!

* I am making progress on spinning up Killian Laptop. I downloaded a bunch of smaller programs, I finally convinced some browsers to sync. I've added some more accessibility extensions, and Saturday, I got a couple browsers set up with things so I could run some of the standard things I do everyday of him.

He's pretty fast compared to Klaus. The main problem I'm having is I can't get Waterfox to run on him. Our theory is maybe he's too old for modern iterations. I am trying earlier versions one by one, but I may be stuck with classic Waterfox, which is not supported and can't sync, so I keep having to stop to hand customize. I'll keep at it this week when I'm not in the aggregate crunch.

* In Cat News: Sunday Tavy discovered that Goth Millenial can also administer medication.

Livia also reached the end of her patience with a Thing the Emperor has been doing. The Empress is a peaceable animal by nature as long as you aren't live prey. She is more than twice his size, but she will generally give way as it's less hassle unless he pushes her too far.

Sunday, she decided she had had enough. For the last month or two, he's been peeing on everybody's favorite spot on my bed 5-6 times a week. I am a person with a clothes washer on it's last legs that can only use hot water. I can't wash multiple cat pads every night and he's also taken to running it to pee on the bed while I am getting ready for bed, so if he does it earlier, the cats are SOL for napping in the Best spot until I do the bed time laundry. Traditionally, he then gets really angry at the humans because Someone has Peed in the best spot!!!

This is Livia's favorite spot too. In fact, she sleeps there more than he does in winter as he decamps for his heated bed for most of his Night Napping.

Tavy's refusal to pee in the box has been inconveniencing her all this time. Sure, she has her second favorite spot: the bedroom window podium, which I tricked out for her in her youth, but a lot of cold seeps in on winter nights and though she is cold adapted, she would rather be a bit further from the window in the comfy spot in the elbow of the Pillow Mountain Range. She has a number of other popular spots, including the desk box, top of pillow mountain, and three other on bed locations. (She used to love sleeping on the sofa, but that is also covered in pee pads and Tavy pee by that time of night. In warmer weather there is also Living room Window box, but the emperor peed in the spare boxes, so I'm not bothering with a new one until the weather is good for window naps.)

Before you ask, yes, we tried keeping the boxes clean. He pees in the boxes to mark them after a change, then goes right back to the sofa if no one is sitting on it, and sometimes when they are. I'd have to scoop each box myself after every use, a thing I can't do with my lungs and arthritis. I miss when he used to pee in the tub or the sink. I could just run a little water after each use, but he doesn't anymore.

Anyway, Sunday night, Livia was camped in the Best Bed Spot and was Not Moving, because if she did, he'd just pee on it after a token sit to establish dominance. he tried all of the passive aggressive tactics. Which she ignored, and when he got physical, she yelled at him and wapped him a good one. He knows he can't win a physical fight, so he is asleep in his desk bed as of this writing and she is enjoying the Best Bed Spot in peace for the first time since he started the regular bed wetting.

Good on her.
