another fun fact about my stardew life is that I am wearing denim overalls and a captain’s hat all the time I have not yet been motivated to change
I look like Mario tbh
I am dating Leah now btw, her ex just stormed our picnic.
I almost missed her art show in the town square and that was very stressful for me.

new snow.

Charlie did not love the plows but he does love just snuffling around with his face in the snow.
we have 4-5” right now so it’s the deepest he’s seen so far.
i’m just sitting outside holding a 30’ lead while Charlie snuffles around ignoring me. Photo of a fluffy white adolescent puppy standing in 5” of

I am starting the book Nice White Ladies (The Truth about White Supremacy, Our Role in It, and How We Can Help Dismantle It) and I think it is going to be a real ride.
“Some of the most ardent pro-
ponents of the idea that talking about race is divisive that I've encountered are white feminists. It seems that when someone tries to bring up the issue of race and racism within feminism, they are accused of being "toxic"”
“Most historical accounts of the campaign for [white women’s] suffrage whitewash the overt racism, or minimize it as an understandable by-product of that historical period, rather than address it head-on as a cornerstone of white women's political organizing.”

one thing I really want people to understand about the dire warnings about long covid from disabled people is that we want to PREVENT severe long term consequences!

immediately acknowledging post-viral illness & empowering people to rest (ha!) will IMPROVE long-term outcomes.
also like, the likelihood that long covid will never be properly counted so that plausible deniability can be maintained is… very high.

the fact that the numbers are so all over the place is really not an indication that the risk is overblown.
besides, it’s common for people in this stage of post-viral illness to interpret their experiences as Just Part Of Recovery for months. to be getting dizzy in the shower or struggling to pull words from a foggy brain or crashing frm basic survival tasks and assuming it will pass.

it’s always been dangerous for sick & disabled people to live in a world that sees illness as a personal failing through which to persevere.

watching this mentality predictably come for everyone is just so fucked. par for the course. also, fucked.
like people honestly think that if you’re sick it’s your job to make sure this doesn’t inconvenience anyone else (which is mysteriously not the same as making sure you don’t infect anyone…) and so now that has scaled beyond any plausibility.
like they’re literally telling people not to let illness slow them down but it’s fine if every indoor space is a super spreader environment because we’ll just tell EVERYONE not to let illness slow them down!

flawless plan! what could go wrong!

one thing I find really really gutting about watching the conversation around long covid and the importance of having a documented positive test is knowing the stories of lyme disease and mold illness and what little difference that documentation actually makes.
like it is absolutely true that there is & will continue to be gatekeeping based on this documentation.

it is not true that documentation is the key to being taken truly seriously or receiving adequate support from people looking for every excuse to withhold support.
and on a personal level, I understand what it’s like to deeply want documentation that says “yes this person is sick, here’s why.”

but it turns out that’s not how healthcare works? you can have the most official paper in the world and still, many people will dismiss it.

we are starting new Letterkenny tonight!
I know I say this every time but the geography of this show makes no sense
just very suspicious to be within easy dating distance of Tobermory, Michigan & Quebec. 2/3, sure, but all 3? I am constantly wondering about their commute times.
