Welp, I do NOT recommend getting a corneal abrasion, folks. This is not fun at ALL.
The weirdest part is I woke up with it Thursday, which means it must have happened Wednesday.

...a few days after I finished all the sanding and tile-cutting. All I did Tuesday and Wednesday was unpack dishes and put them away.
But yeah, the whole "lie in a dark room and just suffer for several days" thing was DO NOT RECOMMEND WOW

They did put an amniotic membrane full of stem cells on my eye, though, so that was kind of cool. Thanks, random baby!
So yeah, it was right over the front of my eye, which is a little scary. Hopefully the stem cells prevented the formation of any scar tissue, because that could cause vision damage, but right now there's still some inflammation and I can't wear a contact, so it's hard to tell.
Anyway, thankfully I have good friends who are taking me down to officially move into the new house today, and picking up my parents from the airport tomorrow for their visit.

...the timing on this was Not Great.
anyway, wear eye protection

even for unpacking dishes, I guess

weirdly, learning about the spiritualist attitude toward manifest destiny turned me around on spiritualism, from seeing it as silly to seeing it as sort of Sweet Pure Cinnamon Roll innocent and idealistic
like when almost every white American was like YES MANIFEST DESTINY, OBVIOUSLY

the spiritualists were like fuck no and joined Indian Rights movements
Also never forget that we could have had Victoria Woodhull and Frederick Douglass as a president-VP combo if America hadn't been like "what, this woman thinks marriage is a trap for women? she must be a devil-slut!" and tanked her chances

if you ever wondered why this country is as white supremacist as it is, stop complaining about the South and start looking at institutions like Harvard and Yale.

This is a Yale graduate student saying walking around Berkeley as a conservative is the same as Holocaust trauma.
The institutions that half our politicians come from aren't usually obvious, frothing at the mouth white supremacy like Liberty University and its ilk.

They're quiet, old money white supremacy.
But like West Coast Tech Dude white supremacy, it's a lot harder to fight, and most people don't believe it's there, because they want to see racism and white supremacy as something that's about ignorance and economic anxiety or whatever.

why, in the year 2021 of the common fucking era does Dark Alliance have only one female character
wow, this game is BIZARRE

it's like it was developed by someone completely unaware of the UI and basic gameplay conventions of the last 10 years
also like the dialogue was written by someone who is unaware of the game writing conventions of the last 10 years

so I was lukewarm on the "Lore" podcast, but I decided to listen to "Unobscured" (which does a season-long deep dive on a single subject) by the same guy, and it is surprisingly great
When I looked at the subjects for the first three seasons, I was like "meh,"

because they are

1. Salem witch trials
2. Spiritualism
3. Jack the Ripper

and, like, yawn, could you pick more overdone subjects (other than, maybe, spiritualism)
but I have been painting a

FUCKING INFINITE

number of cabinets

so I decided to binge it and start with Jack the Ripper, the season that I assumed would bore me the most, and work up to spiritualism
