2 months,
20 days,
3 hospitals,
2 skilled nursing facilities,
about 6 dozen crazy stories later:
My wife arrived home today, walked up the new front steps & into the house by herself.
She has a lot more to take care of besides PT, so not to the finish line yet. But for now today is a good day. 💙

Healthcare costs are already rising.
If you are a Kaiser member you can get help directly from KP no matter how or where your membership is paid for.
Go to a Member Services & ask for this form. The table on the front page is not the only measure to qualify.
Also, the KP worker's strike Oct. 14-19 💙

Kaiser Medical Financial Assistance Program forms.

Indivisible Sunday Yes on 50 Freeway Overpass Action today! The Uncle Fawkes costume works well in this setting too. Even if it's ahead in the polls, the high-visibility support fir 50 sends a message. Pictures from outside the walkway later... 💙

50 year old USPS mail-handler dies under the assumption he was on drugs?!? This happened last year, but you can see color was playing some part in this man's death. 💔

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

KARE 11 Investigates: Postal worker died after police mistook stroke for drug impairment

Kingsley Bimpong was jailed instead of hospitalized; video shows guards ignored his suffering for hours.

Not a one of the 3 stooges behind him react like their lives depends on it...like a Dear Leader vibe. I wonder if he has other people review stuff like this to see which underling smirks or whatever.

Friday on Peace Corner was pretty loud today with all the new "Yes on 50" signs making their way to people & front yards too. It's the first time in nearly 3 months Uncle Fawkes was seen on Peace Corner as well. 💙

"No War on U.S. Cities"
@elliot46.bsky.social took a better photo from yesterday before many protesters arrived. It rained a decent amount last night so it's gone by now.

Anti-War protests on Wednesdays at Peace Corner have gone on for decades before Dumpty & his evil clown show were a thing. I had time to come down & chalk up the corner before it rains tonight.
The links on mobilize.us need updating. 💙

Yes on 50 Strobridge pedestrian overpass action on a Sunday afternoon. This will be a weekly thing until the special election. It should be listed on mobilize.us soon for the 94546 zip code. California will fight for democracy & our district plays a major part in 50. 💙

Mark Wilkinson wasn't Iron Madien's artist until the 90's, but he was Marillion & Fish's artist in the 80's. While I was cleaning up the bedroom I had to move my Satanic copy of his Vigil art. Yesterday WotC announced two Iron Madien M:tG Secret Lairs, among other less desirable upcoming sets. 🙄
