Well, we’re now at the stage in this flare up that I’m getting a little desperate. Scheduled a massage with my fabulous massage therapist for Saturday. Cancelled my plans for tomorrow. I’m out of prescription muscle relaxers and my next PCP appointment isn’t until June...
Which means if I don’t get this under control soon I’ve got to go to urgent care and try to get a new prescription. Non-opioid of course, but even this is likely going to be a struggle to convince them I’m in pain. Ugh. I hate interacting with the medical industrial complex.
Time to take a bunch of melatonin and try to force myself into sleep/unconsciousness. Goodnight darlings! I’ll probably be up in 3-4 hours in pain again anyway if tonight’s like the last 3 nights.

Let’s talk about the difference between #SexStrike & #StopFuckingShittyMen. Sex strike proposes that all women stop having sex (with men its implied I think, no clue if queer women are supposed to stop fucking each other here) in order to punish men or raise awareness.
As some have already noted, this perpetuates the idea that sex is the only bargaining chip women have & that sex is the only reason men will listen to us. I’m not on board at all. But folks may think that the Sex Strike is no different than my recent proposal.
#StopFuckingShittyMen is about centering women’s sexual needs (don’t fuck men who don’t care about your pleasure or who make you feel bad about your body) as well as refusing to participate in sex with men who don’t deserve our time, attention or bodies.

To give you a sense of my mood right now. I just got an email about the first of two bachelorette parties for my friends who are getting married and I text my partner “This is why gay marriage should be illegal. Two bachelorette parties is so expensive” 😂
I really like this couple but the question is: Do I like THEIR friends this much?

Spoiler alert: I don’t like most people. Most people suck.
Is it rude for me to ask if these people are all white and/or straight women?

Ok, tweeting from urgent care. Arrived at 11:02am. They told me it’s an hour wait. I see five people ahead of me in the waiting room. Let’s see how long this takes. And how it goes once I see a doctor.
20 min in. I didn’t bring a book, which is my bad. But I probably wouldn’t be able to concentrate with Who Wants to Be A Millionaire blaring on the TV above my head. I honestly didn’t know this show was still on the air.
45 min into my hour long estimated wait. I think I’m next. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

I think one of the most difficult truths I have to admit to myself is – that despite all my writing and journaling, most of my introspection still mostly circles around my blind spots, which involve deep-rooted fear, anxiety trauma, ugh fields. And I've gotten very good at this
the analogy that's coming to mind is musical practice, or maybe strength training. most meaningful practice can only happen outside your comfort zone, at the edge of your ability – you need to focus hard on what you cannot yet do, and learn to do that. I don't do that very much
The truth I avoid is that I'm still fundamentally conflict-avoidant in some ways. Yeah, I can get into clever-sounding arguments with people, but that's... ornamentation. I still hesitate to admit weakness, failure, uncertainty. I'm still not very good at advocating for myself

Well, since I can't focus on anything today, let's do an Anne thread. #LainaReadsAnne
#LainaReadsAnne This also is mostly a filler chapter, honestly.

We do get some really great details about how Anne's room and how it's changed. Let's actually recap how it was four years ago - I went back to the first chapter it was described in for this, even.
#LainaReadsAnne Described are painfully bare whitewashed walls, a high, old-fashioned bed, a three-cornered table with a pincushion and a small mirror over it. Between the bed and table is the window, with an "icy white muslin frill" and opposite the bed, a washstand.

This is a staged living room at an unoccupied real estate listing.
Pricing for attractive furnishings in 2 rooms plus kitchen & bath accessories starts at $1500 for 90 days. ... thread
You read it right: $1500 plus.
Staged listings are proven to sell for a higher price and with fewer days on market. So it usually pays to stage and it is a high demand service.
$1500 and up doesn't make sense for low end for sale listings OR high end lease listings.

Affordable staging is the perfect

Now that Google+ has been shuttered, I should air my dirty laundry on how awful the project and exec team was.

I'm still pissed about the bait and switch they pulled by telling me I'd be working on Chrome, then putting me on this god forsaken piece of shit on day one.
This will be a super slow burn that goes back many years. I’ll continue to add to over the next couple of days. I’ll preface it with a bunch of backstory and explain what I had left behind, which made me more unhappy about the culture I had come into.
I spent most of my early career working for two radical sister non-profit orgs. I was the only designer working on
anywhere from 4-5 different products at the same time. All centered around activism and used by millions of people.

1) Let me sum up many things, much of which you know.

2) Yertle does not have the votes to confirm Judge K, contrary to what it looked like just 12 hours ago. Manchin is as reliable as the Italian Army.

3) So that leaves us with the three RINOs.
4) The painful truth is there is NO leverage at all against Flakey. I just spoke with a woman from his area here in AZ. Local SUPPORTERS are furious with him. These are the people who voted him in originally, both to the House and the Senate.
5) They can't hurt him, Yertle can't hurt him, and Trump really can't hurt him.

Now, realistically, if he EVER wants to work anywhere in the universe of Republican politics again, he has to vote for K. But he may have other plans, may want to go out as McTurd Jr.
