Weed, AIDS crisis
This woman is a fucking hero and I had never heard of her before today.
"Mary Jane Rathbun, popularly known as Brownie Mary, was an American medical cannabis activist. As a hospital volunteer at San Francisco General Hospital, she became known for illegally baking and distributing cannabis brownies to AIDS patients."
Like, thousands and thousands of brownies, for a decade.
in unrelated* news, I feel like I might be starting a fever. I'm going to go lie down for a while.
* or is it????
ae;lj;bimr;twigojwtggwrg everything's coming out pink in the laundry. there wasn't even anything red in there in the last wash! where is the pink coming from??
I personally don't care if my damn socks are weirdly light pink, but I'll have to ask Spouse how he feels about his underwear, because if he cares it'll be time to Experiment With Bleach (and start washing "whites" separately).
UGH HOW DO YOU ADULT I CAN'T EVEN

one of the squirrels that eats out of the suet feeder has learned to jump from the porch railing to a nearby tree branch, to make a quick escape. I always giggle when I see it flying through the air, tail spinning for balance. and I think the squirrel enjoys it--it makes the jump at the slightest provocation, and sometimes when nothing's threatening it at all. *little squirrley "WHEEEEEE"*
and in the category of "music that makes me happy": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8-vje-bq9c&list=PL1A0956E790C7EBA2&index=45
right up there with one of those "use your phone as a camera" commercials (or something like that) with the Cure's "Pictures of You" on in the background. I saw that one *once* before it got pulled and the music was replaced with something else. somebody actually listened to the lyrics... XD
listening to Youtube playlist on shuffle, and "Hey Man Nice Shot" comes on. aaaah... an old favorite.
which makes me giggle hysterically as I remember some otherwise completely forgettable movie/TV miniseries about the Russians invading the US and the PROUD PATRIOTS FIGHT BACK that used "Hey Man Nice Shot" as the commercial's soundtrack, and it's like--THAT SONG DOES NOT MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS lolololol

They don't know they are all crazy. All 7 billion of them. Every Terran possesses a complex organic computer suspended in fluid and enclosed in [calcium]. It is literally so complex that it doesn't shut off when they [sleep]. And every one is structurally incapable of distinguishing fantasy from reality.
That is what makes them so powerful. They can look at the universe in all of its totally and just… dismiss it. Dream a new one to take its place, and be so convinced, they make it real.
ugh. I feel like I have a mild head cold, which could be:
* allergic reaction to something blooming
* allergic reaction to glutening
* sinus reaction to ongoing pressure change (yayclouds!)
* a mild head cold
I suppose it doesn't matter, because the treatment for all of these is pretty much the same:
* drink lots of water (which I do anyway)
* take my vitamins (see above)
* rest (not doing anything today)
* maybe DayQuil
* wait to get over/through whatever it is
