If you ever wondered "how did our (Western) calendar get this way?" and/or "why did Julius Caesar name a month after himself?", wonder no more: pastebin.com/rFM0XcLP (2- to 3-minute read, slight swearing)

@vahnj that is--a really wacky autocorrect. o___o also I'm really glad you're okay and seconded on her never driving again, gosh.

@kara_dreamer@witches.town Mastodon seems to be working pretty well for me, on my web browser.

Doctors should not be allowed to sell products. Being able to diagnose people with health issues and being a sales representative seems like a rather exploitatory combination.

also! I saw two (? might have been a third) young hawks in the woods on the way to the rental office. can't figure out what kind of hawks they are for sure; very likely Cooper's, but they didn't have adult plumage and weren't making adult calls, so I couldn't figure out for sure. I spent about 15 minutes staring up into the trees overhead and whistling back at them, trying to get a better view and positive ID. XD

yay paper towels were (FINALLY) delivered! (not dealing with Costco shipping ever again...) so, current plan:
* food
* call to yell at ex-insurance company (I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES)
* shower
* clean catboxes
* Northgate for hair color

and I have Stuff I should Do today and I don't wanna. :|

@chalcedony@octodon.social it took me a decade (or so) to come up with the system I have now, that lets me usually get to sleep around the time I want. so having that disrupted is so ARRRRGGGGHHH.

also I seem to have been bit by a spider AGAIN. I just hope I don't have to go on antibiotics again. what the actual fuck.

hooray I seem to have retrained my sleep schedule so I wake up sometime between 2 and 4 am and can't get back to sleep without another shot of NyQuil. :|

Melinda says he OD'd on somethin' called Sandbox Taffy. Housekeeper found him passed out in bed wearin' nothin' but a powder blue apron, super glued to a plush alpaca.

Kids are callin' it Cowboy Dennis. He set a dumpster on fire behind an Arby's and huffed the fumes until he thought he was bein' chased by Shaq ridin' a giant salamander.

Street name is Fairy Baklava. Kids try it at parties, next thing they know they're in a warehouse gettin' paid to deputize TV executives.

*thus oops

people who fail to be "productive" tend to fall into a few categories:
1. they work, but their work is not viewed as productive, despite being _anything_ but bourgeois
2. they _would_ work if it weren't for an economic environment that is actively hostile to their livelihood
3. they are unable to work due to disability

all three deserve respect and inclusion for what should be obvious reasons. all are "useful" if we can change our cultural context to include them

simple example: marx despised panhandlers, sex workers, and even migrant peoples (yes, he was kinda racist), because he viewed them as "not interested in production" and this not useful to the cause, without realizing that such a definition was created by capitalists, and bears re-examination.

thus why i can't call myself a "marxist"
