In today's what the actual audacity:
I've been asked to speak for free on the barriers faced by blind people... by the Labour party.
I explained that giving up working hours without payment while I have to cover the cost of childcare would create a financial disadvantage. The response? It's online

I am entertained at people coming up to the doors and staring at them as if they’ll open magically and then get shocked that they have to walk to the other doors, which are open.

Oof.
This will probably not matter. It’s just the Coast Guard, amirite?! And the next one probably won’t matter. But at some point, all these people who didn’t matter will suddenly matter Very Very Much and I suspect that will astound some people in power who don’t think the military are people.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West.
ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Apparently Southern Living magazine can’t spell my name while they offer me a “senior discount” for their magazine. Dude, I turn 40 next year. I’m not that old.

Snake oil peddling quack says he will have the answer to what causes autism by September. Using a “massive testing and research effort” he'll look into already debunked theories on links between vaccines and autism. This guy doesn’t know a q-tip from a nasal swab. We await the protocol with interest

Migraine going down to tolerable levels. It has been a while since I’ve had one like this, which Jamie just goes “Proof stress will fuck your shit up.” Now if the muscle spasms in my shoulder would stop this would be 10 times better.

Gods damnit, Virginia. You had such lovely weather yesterday, why you gotta have a FREEZE WARNING for tonight. Quit your bullshit. It’s April. It’s supposed to be like…75° at minimum now.

Friend of our texted Jamie asking if we wanted a puppy. Is a very cute puppy. It’s like a 1:16 version of our old dog Hobbes.
But no. No puppy. Especially not after the previous puppy fiasco.

Why does insulin smell weird. Is it me? I think it’s me. I normally can’t smell things for the most part, but I’m starting to again after many, many years, and it’s weird.

I need to get used to having this insulin pen with me. We almost left the house without it and I am not capable of tending to other peoples feelings if Jamie crashes out and they realize that I am the asshole with RBF who is calm in crisis.

Listening to narrations of antiquarian horror and was very surprised to find myself noping the hell out of it because giant, ethereal, “as thin as a spider’s web” earwig being set up to purposefully eat your brains is very much…not my jam.

Yknow, with streaming services putting in non skippable ads, it’s only a matter of time before we get video stores back.
