By the time they enter, if they do, it will no longer be my home. It will belong to my estate. Fuck this admin. I hope we survive it and learn from it, at least until the next century when we will have forgotten about it again.

Especially now. Or at least, there's a spot on a shared "bed" in an El Salvador prison for you where you'll die in short order.

To be replaced by something privately funded, if at all.

I'm an 8-5'er alright. I live for the mornings. I like to think I'm blasting through my best energy for the day before I even get to work.

Alarm is set for 4:45am, which lets me get my teeth brushed and pre-workout downed before the gym two blocks from my house opens at 5. I'm up at 3:45-4:15am every morning. I go to bed at 8pm. Once every 1-2 months, I'll hear my alarm.

Why are all the kids being born in Silicon Valley getting diagnosed with ASD?? Maybe because at least one of their software engineer parents could/should have been.

This was apparently one of the starting points in the US according to the book Neurotribes.

I realize they're not really for the dead, but the living decide that their dead bodies are entitled to more space than some living. Plots cost thousands of dollars. We ostracize the unhoused. Our priorities are broken, and graveyards are yet another thing for those "with" that those "without" will not have.

Agreed, but that's also weird. Suddenly they're the arbiter of what rules are okay to break and what aren't? Sounds like they're just trying to keep costs/traffic down.

Graveyards are a disgusting waste of space. Their existence communicates to society that many dead people are more entitled to space on this Earth than some living people will ever have.

I only have the context of a somewhat informed person in a college financial aid office. It's really the illegal or refugee/asylee population that has to worry right now unless you're here as a permanent resident and have protested against the ethnic cleansing of Gaza (or as the republicans are calling it, "antisemitism") on a billion dollar campus.

They don't have a strategy yet for de-naturalizing naturalized citizens (they are discussing this), but if you're white and not Muslim, you're probably not drawing their attention.

They call 13 year old girls "young women," so it stands to reason that they're talking about getting teenage boys into the workforce for minimum wage here, yeah.

Thank you! I'm getting a sugar glider next on the forearm, as we work it all towards a sleeve. Sugar gliders were our first pet and a horrible mistake (high maintenance/smelly) but so adorable. So starting next week and for at least two more full day sessions, I'll be getting a sugar glider inspired by Diablo 2.
