circulatory, probably part connective tissue. The only things that seem to help at all are pacing, keeping warm, & massaging my hands/forearms daily with a tennis ball: they're definitely not the hands I used to have, but they usually don't feel like blunt instruments any more.

On the plus side, I gave movies a serious shot when books were too hard, & I have a new appreciation for the genre, but I miss that spark.

With the small motor stuff, I went through physical therapy until I & they got frustrated at the lack of response. I think it's part neurological, part

Absolutely, the cognitive stuff & the small motor stuff.

According to the memory/cognition tests my Dr gave me, I have no impairment, but he didn't have a baseline. *I* know there's a gear that used to be there that just... isn't now. And thinking deeply about complicated things is *exhausting*.

Where are the Alligator Detainees?

Truthout @truthout.org · 26d

State-run extrajudicial immigration black sites like Alligator Alcatraz allows politically connected individuals to make hundreds of millions of dollars off Florida’s taxpayers at the expense of jailed migrants, while those held are stripped of their access to legal counsel and due process.

DHS Plans More State-Run Extrajudicial Black Sites Like “Alligator Alcatraz”

Homeland Security’s Kristi Noem mentioned plans to build similar immigration jails in Arizona, Nebraska, and Louisiana.

Beautifully done!

I have a list of movies I'd like to watch for the "first time" again if I ever develop memory problems. This scene is what prompted me to make the list.

Cw: food

If you pan fry sliced vienna sausages until they puff up, you can just about forget what they're made of. Excellent texture contrast with ramen.

Measles case in VA Beach. Reported exposure locations include the CHKD Urgent Care at Loehmann’s Plaza & the CHKD ER/main hospital in Norfolk. Awesome.

A Trantwood Elementary student contracted measles after international travel, marking the fourth case in Virginia in 2025. See where people could have been exposed.

I'm used to seeing folks in uniform out & about, running errands on the way home.

It is *viscerally different* being somewhere they're deployed, knowing they consider you something they might have to deal with.

I knew they were there, but I was unprepared for how it would feel.

Ours has it on the website with the citywide list of schools, but not on the school website :/ Still better than the last school, which had one set of times on the website & a different set of times in the pamphlet they sent home.

David Geier is NOT a doctor and with help from his quack daddy Mark Geier, they chemically castrated Autistic children with Lupron, all in the name of "curing Autism".

LUJAN: You hired a man named David Geier to conduct this study. Is that correct?

RFK Jr: No

LUJAN: Is Geier working for HHS?

RFK Jr: He's a contractor

LUJAN: Do you know that Mr Geier is listed on the HHS employee directory as a senior data analyst, not a contractor?

Today, we are remembering David Graeber, who passed away five years ago.

My folks got me this album bc it had a popular song & they'd been instructed to try to make me relatable to my peers. I don't think they would've if they'd had even a scrap of context. I *do* wish people had listened & understood, but also wonder how many of us got to hear them because they didn't.

I really wish the US had actually listened to Chumbawumba's lyrics rather than just half-hearing "Tubthumping" and then relegating them to drunk-at-a-bar music. Like… Even on that album (their eighth, btw), there's levels & layers of class, anti-racist, feminist, & queer-conscious themes.

So good.
