Republicans keep saying the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about losing Medicaid.

All disabilities are genuine.

You also need healthcare to get a diagnosis. To get the paperwork done. To “prove it.”

They’re ensuring people get trapped in red tape loopholes so they can’t get care.

for a lot of people with severe mental illness this will go like:

1) “not disabled enough” to stay on medicaid

2) lose access to the medication that made that the case

3) become psychotic/so severely disabled that jumping through the hoops to go back on medicaid or get on ssi is impossible

4) die

I have been informed that the term “megafauna” is no longer current. The preferred term is “megabiota,” which encompasses large, mobile organisms, including plants, animals, and fungi, that weigh over 99 pounds.

Considering the substantial bacterial presence within the human body, this reclassification appears justifiable.

If you happen to be a mushroom zombie, a living bog monster, or a skin-bound creature, please feel free to refer to yourself as anthropocene megabiota.

Note, items are not in sequential order, dear journal.

I am said to be a revolutionist in my sympathies, by birth, by breeding and by principle. I am always on the side of the revolutionists, because there never was a revolution unless there were some oppressive and intolerable conditions against which to revolute.

– Mark Twain

The three-act structure is a narrative framework, dividing a story into the setup, confrontation, and resolution.

It is used in writing to provide structure and help the audience follow the narrative.

The last couple of books in my club seem to have ignored that basic design fundamental.

I don’t mean that they are non-linear or episodic, either. They are just sort of “slice of life” narrative books, where there is seemingly no goal, just a window into what the characters are doing.

Not really my vibe.

In case you need this today:

You are not a failure.

You are not a waste of space.

You are loved.

You are wanted.

I believe in you.

You got this.

I’m not fond of how every fan-favorite old film now gets an obligatory “It couldn’t be made today!” tag, as if it’s some Gnostic text and not “a product of its zeitgeist and industry conditions, which happen to evolve over time.”

My headcanon is that Columbo is a ghost drawn to recent murders. He’s always talking about a wife we never see, wears the same clothes every day, doesn’t seem to have any professional colleagues, and is in a perpetual state of confusion.

A handful of centuries ago, dandelions were brought to my country as an easy food crop.

Now, ousting them from lawns is a hundred billion dollar industry.

Perhaps we distrust abundance, what is free and at hand.

Stubborn and wild.

I suspect dandelion didn’t change.

We did.

Dandelions are native to Eurasia, likely evolving around 30 million years ago. They were introduced to North America by European settlers, primarily for their medicinal and food properties. While considered a weed in many areas, they are a globally widespread plant with a long history of human use.
