It's preposterous and infuriating that lives were lost after the LGTBQ+ parade in Mexico, it shows that our voices need to be louder, our actions stronger and our determination unwavering.

We don't want you to be like us, world, we want to be accepted and loved like any other human being deserves it.

May they rest in peace, que descansen en paz.

I have never understood how your preferences are supposed to have an adverse effect on other people's lives. Are their egos so fragile that they're worried you might convert them? How "manly" are they? :)
Today was so hot that my shirt was covered in sweat the minute I stepped outside (No wonder the neighbor's dog was hiding in the garage).
It hurts me to know that a certain God Emperor wants LGBT youth to kill themselves.

In Nazi Germany the disabled were considered "work averse" and at Dachau the developmentally disabled wore a black triangle labeled "blod" ("stupid"). In the camps the Aryan developmentally disabled were treated a little better than some other inmates, and were kept away from the bottom barrel people like Jews.

That's why we need to stick together in this times, help each other, love each other and try to make it less tough for those who are hurting however we can. The people on top won't support us? Let's show them by supporting each other

It was hard for me not to take that personally, too. He said there’s still 988 as an excuse, but it’s not the same as a dedicated line.
I took a long walk today. I should do that more often. Spend less time in front of my Xbox and more time outdoors.

Indeed, being out in nature has scientifically proven health benefits. Turn off the video games and "touch grass" as the young people say now. If there is a reasonably safe park near you, go there and feed the birds.
My Cummins generator froze up this afternoon. Fortunately I have a backup for now. I wish there were heat pumps for tiny homes.
I was telling the clerks who run the jury assembly room about my excuse and they were perusing my letter when the actual jury commissioner walked in. She talked to the room clerks, asked me a couple questions, and said I was free to go. She did say I should bring the formal letter when I get it.
My iced coffee came out really good! We don't have running water tho... gosh darn it lol

Iced Coffee is a very popular drink in Australia but it's also very different to what other people around the world call iced coffee. We don't use any water, it's all milk with coffee and sugar added.

Hey! That's very similar to the Mexican iced coffee from the stores!

Even the one I make says you can use milk and I have been pondering if I should, after this I probably will!
There are incredibly nice days, and wonderful people, but for the most part right now, between chronic illness and family violence, my life right now can be pretty nightmarish. I just want to love and be loved, and to live a simple quiet life full of laughter, with those I cherish most.

I hope that you will be able to have that.
It's weird how bees surround the carcass of an animal, even weirder that said animal is in the middle of the street.

Flies - sure
Bees? - That does sound a tad strange.🤔

There's an album by the band Earth called "The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull". Was just reminded of that.

I'm hungry

I ended up with the opposite issue frequently when I would be at home by myself during meal time in the past. If I lived alone, I would likely go hungry a lot because I forget to eat.

People where I worked thought it was cute that I was thin
at the time and always hungry. Turned out I was hypoglycemic
and eating in a way that wasn't helpful to me.

I try to control myself but, by golly, sometimes I lose control 🤭🤭🤭

@FayetheAspie you could try small snacks through the day which is what I usually do but, like I said, sometimes I lose control an end up snacking quite too much


I hope you have all of that under control @tree I have been tempted to check my sugar levels because I'm just like that
I have to report in person to the Siskiyou County Courthouse tomorrow for jury duty. :mad: My psychiatrist is on vacation so she can't sign an excuse letter that the jury commissioner will accept. I have a draft on her letterhead done by her assistant. I will show that to the judge and hope for the best.

If the letter isn't signed and sent via US Mail the commissioner won't accept it. I was emailed a draft.

I only ever got called up once, I wrote to the Clerk Of The Court and told them that my previous criminal history should preclude me from jury duty. That got me off. My criminal history - minor possess hemp when I was 18. :)
I hate brain fog 😔 I'm not sure if its worse today maybe because the flu I had still is affecting my ears and its making me feel dizzy. I've got try and get some things done and it's very distracting and frustrating 😟

Go easy on yourself if you can. You won't be very productive if you are still recovering and your energy might be better spent continuing to heal.

I think you are right @Rodafina :-) I managed to get a couple of things done, mostly mopping the kitchen and packing up the faulty new microwave to return. It feels like quite an achievement. I think I'm definitely going to do as little as possible for the rest of the day 🙂
