Here's an un-fun thought experiment for people debating the Nazi tattoo.

Imagine there's what seems like the perfect candidate. Healthcare for all, universal basic income for all, houses for all!

But they have a Nazi tattoo.

Who do you think "all" includes?

'Cause it's not me.
& maybe not you.

So if we’re keeping track of who’s been “come for”:

Disabled people shouldn’t leave their homes

Immigrants aren’t safe anywhere

Black & brown citizens can be detained & brutalized even more easily

Cis women aren’t entitled to certain healthcare

Trans people aren’t allowed to exist some places

I had Lyme disease attack my brain. Things definitely aren't right in there. The low grade dizzy is nearly constant, which makes it super difficult to identify migraines, low blood sugar, heck, even being hungry. My body is just slamming the dizzy distress beckon and I'm just like: ??? Is normal???

Btw this conversation made me realize I also have a migraine. Such sneaky little horrors. The more the migraine migraines the harder it is to tell a migraine is migraining.
I get really brain foggy and confused with migraines. I have juuuust enough of one to make it hard to tell I have one.😑

The place where I first started having migraine auras was also skunk heavy, making life even more confusing. Particularly as I had a little dog who would definitely try to fight a skunk if she found one, so I was often not sure if I should let her out or not. Fortunately we never got skunked.

Sunny @sunnycogs.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, yes it is. Smells can be part of the migraine aura. What I want to know is why it's never cinnamon rolls or something. The closest thing I've ever heard to a pleasant migraine smell is the wet mulch, and that's just because I'm a garden weirdo who loves mulch.

Sunny @sunnycogs.bsky.social · 1d

I have phantom smells with migraines sometimes. Unfortunately usually skunk. My sister gets wet mulch. My migraines are often vestibular migraines that are vertigo and brain fog with very little or no pain, so it took me years to realize they were migraines.

One of the accounts I've been following since way before the collapse of twitter has a very distinctive icon & posting style. They recently changed the icon for the 1st time & it was like Invasion of the Body snatchers.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH (insert mental image of icon)! Wait...😅

Sunny @sunnycogs.bsky.social · 1d

Why? Why can't we save everyone? Why is that the premise you build on?

Why not fight for everyone? How long is your list of those you're willing to leave behind? If the candidate gets worse does your list grow? Is there a line where you say, whoa, that's too many?

Why didn't that line include me?

The tropical potted plants and citrus are cosy inside for the winter. So begins the season of them scaring the stuffing out of me every night as they pout by dropping leaves into the hardwood floor.

That sound is not gremlins, just a lemon tree throwing a fit.

Why would I work with someone who wants me dead if the end result is me being dead? All that happens is I'd have to deal with bastards on the way to being dead. That's no better than Republicans.

We'd. Still. Be. DEAD.

I'm not burning my house down with me inside so you can stay warm.

My house now smells quite funky & the fermenting hasn't even begun😅. I've got 2 jars of assorted smoked garden peppers going, & one of these aji mangos. Coring the little aji peppers is taking forever & the house is...zesty. So far I have not gotten pepper juice on my face though, so it's a win.

Sunny @sunnycogs.bsky.social · 2d

Before I accept this apology I need to know what they're actually sorry about.

Are they sorry their groceries are more expensive & they could lose healthcare? Good, that's a start.

But if they're not sorry marginalized people are being attacked & losing rights they can find somewhere else to be.

Sunny @sunnycogs.bsky.social · 2d

Today is garden pepper fermentation day! (If nothing goes terribly wrong)

Wish me luck. My body is an absolute wuss about spice even if I like it, and somehow pepper juice always gets around my glasses. Might find a face shield and treat the really spicy ones like little bombs, for I am mayo hued.

Yes, yes it is. I was hired to decorate cakes at a Walmart while visibly disabled using a cane. Not allowed to sit. I had to quit.

I think it stems from the idea that service workers are SERVANTS, who are inferior & naturally lazy. Waaaay too many people want to be Served, not to shop.

Sunny @sunnycogs.bsky.social · 2d

I agree and I live in the U.S. The average person here is doing all they know how to. Our neighbors need to support us by refusing to support our big business as much as possible. The only language the people running the place know is money. If you can avoid giving U.S. oligarchs money, do it.

Sunny @sunnycogs.bsky.social · 2d

-marginalized community is inherently thoughtless & cruel, implying that community lies on the outside of humanity and can't be considered in day to day thoughts meant to include everyone. Such ideas do not end where that specific statement ends. These sentiments poison society & isolate minorities.

The "shopping cart limus test" is ableist.

Many times when I was still healthy enough to shop by myself I could not physically make it to put the cart back, as the return is often far from the handicap parking.

Any statement where you have to add "I obviously wasn't talking about YOU" to a whole-

Behold my Doofinzmirtz... inator?

Halloween decorations are running a little late because of the usual series of bad health and unfortunate events, but they're coming. Doof needs another round of glow paint. Perry, Balloony are already cut out and primed, and an inator is on the way.

So has someone collected all the footage of the protest frogs and made a video of them with Crazy Frog playing over it, but instead of the song yelling "crazy frog" it screams "no kings"? I don't have time to learn video editing to make this, someone take the torch 😆

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.
