portland folks: be prepared with ear protection !!!
LRADs emit sounds exceeding 140 dB
exposure to sound waves above 90 dB causes permenant damage to the human ear
BRING EAR PROTECTION

blm rebellion, light advice, courts and law
"Copy/paste, y'all. POST EVERYWHERE
When this is all over, some of you may get a jury duty summons. Go. There will be protester cases. Helping protesters is most effective inside the courtroom.
You'll likely be asked if you are capable of processing the facts the case without bias either way. And your response is yes. Of course you are.

asking for help to get away from an abusive living situation, boosts needed
does anyone nearby (i'm in riverside county, in southern california) have a place i could stay in the near future? like, a couch i could sleep on? not yet, but it looks like things are gonna go to shit pretty soon no matter what i do, so it'd be nice to have an escape plan ready. my parents have been incredibly abusive since i moved back in with them, especially since they found out i was trans. today they went into my backpack and took all my hormones, and that's only the tip of the iceberg of the bullshit they've put me through. at the end of next month they wanna take me to mexico and i wanna be gone before then. please help.
unwell (but not with that), guilt, body please don't
Did a (slightly more than) half day at work today because my guts have been Unhappy and.... of course I feel guilty about it. When was the last time I actually used a sick day? I don't even remember.
Time for the most neutral lunch possible and we'll see how the afternoon goes.
(No, it isn't THAT. Day before yesterday was not wonderful but faded out eventually, yesterday was fine, today is not - has to be something I'm eating)

calling your senators wrt: ICE concentration camps (uspol, activism, script included
use the drop-down for your state on this page https://www.senate.gov/index.htm to get the names and phone numbers of your senators. (I saved mine to my phone a while back.) you will almost certainly get to leave a recorded message; if not, they'll usually just let you say whatever. speak clearly and try to speak slowly, but if you're angry, let it come through. just don't abuse the person who will listen to your message.
here's my rough script:
"Hello, my name is [firstname] [lastname], I live in [city] and my zip code is [zip].
I am calling because I have read a report that ICE is using a highly caustic and dangerous chemical on prisoners at the Adelanto Detention Center outside Los Angeles, under the pretense of Covid-19 suppression.
[if you work with dangerous chemicals, a bit here saying "I work with dangerous chemicals at [job] and I have had training in just how dangerous these can be when misused" helps as a personal message.]
This needs to be stopped NOW. ICE is turning the facility into a death camp. Speak up, take action, and get this stopped. Thank you."

Apple Health in Washington State, looking for advice
I'm belatedly applying for Apple Health here in Seattle, and as a final step, they're asking me to select a managed care plan, but I don't think I have enough information to make a decision.
Does anyone have any information or advice I could use? I'd sincerely appreciate it. xwx;

Hi, folks. @Leucrotta and I are looking for someone to take over a vacant bedroom in our 3BR/2BA apartment. We live in Shoreline, a bit north of the Seattle city limit.
Rent would be $736/month, water/sewer/garbage ~33/month. Electric heat & air conditioning.
We might be able to supply it furnished, if you need that.
If interested, send me a direct message.

@Soreth This was after I came to bed even! Like 30 minutes later. Just roll over CHOMP right on the biceps.
Apparently last night when my girlfriend came to bed, I bit her. I was asleep at the time.
That may be the most "dragon" moment I've ever had in my entire life, awake OR asleep.
hope (mh related, sui mention, but please read if you interact with me a bunch)
I run on hope.
No, literally. Hope keeps me going. Hope keeps me alive. When everything was darkest back in 2015 and I was not capable of picturing a future that had me in it, when I was convinced that I would be doing myself in within the next three months, when it was utterly impossible to believe that there was a future with me in it... I harnessed myself to hope. I couldn't believe that I would survive, but I could believe that maybe tomorrow would be less bad than today. That if I kept myself going in the name of things being better, even if I couldn't see it coming, maybe I could endure until things actually did improve.
That was maybe the biggest piece of the foundation that I built my mental stability on later, because heaven knows there wasn't much else left for a foundation at the time. Arguably, it wasn't a good move. The current state of the world and the people in power and the climate actively damage that foundation. Paying too much attention to the news is more than just mentally unhealthy for me, because it knocks cracks into the foundation that lets the despair through. And with big enough cracks, the suicidal ideation comes back. As in, "things are not going to get better, you should have ended it five years ago, better correct that mistake". I _think_ I could manage to keep myself around even if there were severe damage inflicted there, but I really don't know. The ties that bind get awfully strained when the days get darker.
What that _means_ is that joking about there being no hope, about the world being better off destroyed, about the human race being better off wiped clean from the face of the planet, is actually directly acting against the things that keep me alive. It gets me thinking that I _shouldn't_ be here anymore, that with no hope for the future I should just make my exit. I have to start muting people who do this too often, in order to keep myself functional.
I'm not blaming anybody for this kind of behavior, I'm as familiar as anybody else with dark humor sometimes being the only way that you can laugh at anything at all all. I'm just saying if you're gonna do it, please don't do it at me. We have content warnings for this and they work, but they don't help much if you show up in my notifications. And if you actually really fully believe that we _should_ all be removed from the world? If there is any kindness anywhere within you please don't push that at me because it might actually work.
I am okay right now, I'm not at risk for anything, but this is something that I've been chewing over for a while and I think I need to say it explicitly.
Happy Towel Day, everybody!
It took me like 24 years but I'm finally starting to appreciate REM's "New Adventures In Hi-Fi".
In Morrowind, there were Imperial Legion forts that were well-maintained and populated by the Imperial Legion. In Skyrim, the Legion's forts are stuffed full of bandits and clearly about to fall down. The roads were shitty or nonexistent. In Oblivion, in the heartland of the empire, the forts were crumbling and populated with marauders.
I guess all the legion troops and the engineering teams are still figuring out how to get off the island they were on in Morrowind.
RE: LB about Skyrim:
I had a vague interest when I played the game the first time about helping the Nords fight off their conquerors the Imperials (who just tried to kill me). Then I caught wind of all the racism and "skyrim for the nords" and fuck that. Just fuck all that right to hell. Eat seven bags of shit and die, stormcloaks.
Also, what the fuck is with the state of the infrastructure in Cyrodiil and Skyrim? (cont'd)
