FFS, I don’t need or want a drug treatment for autism. Will these assholes never stop?
How about some money for motor coordination disorders? AAC? Caregivers?

got 1800 words in this evening, which was a better use of my time than doom scrolling, so there's that
are they *good* words? enh. but I'm about 10% into this one, and that's generally when the grind sets in. we'll see how I liked it when it's finished

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

One of the reasons Marie Kondo's advice made everyone mad in 2018-19 (Apart from Racism™️) was that for many, getting to a point where they can even feel joy takes +5 years of therapy and access to the good drugs.

Case in point: “In 2023, there were 338 children delivered at GVMC. For comparison, in 2005, there were 557 children delivered at GVMC. But come April 2026, that number will drop to 0. “
From there, it’s an hour drive to the nearest hospital. A lot can happen in delivery in an hour.

Honestly these are the nights where it is the hardest to be here. I will keep yelling at Tommy Tuberville's voicemail because I'm a stubborn bitch, but I can't talk to the only people who might try to defend me, and when the dems cave they make it bad for their states but unlivable for ours.

SNAP is a political football, but making sure the USA ate used to be a national security issue: "up to a quarter of draftees called up via the Selective Service Act of 1940 were malnourished and unfit to serve"
Today, we can't even see feeding people as being in the national interest.

Time to offer my annual reminder that if you're looking for affordable entertainment over the holiday season and you live anywhere near a university campus, check their performance hall schedule. They typically have interesting items year round along with holiday shows.

Took the kids out to dinner: ordered two appetizers, seven meals, and a shared dessert. For four people. They cleaned almost every plate. I didn’t even bring home leftovers. Teenagers, oof.

OP is correct: “why are people”
I just watched it last night, and if I had more time, I’d go back and watch it again and give it a point by point analysis of all of the gender references I see in it. Sweet baby papaws, a gender lens analysis of the last scene alone could fill a dissertation.

McNeill's The Milkweed Ladies was the first piece of Appalachian literature that I purposely read as an adult, and it still has a special place in my heart.
