And if, historically, one's "normal or nice" conduct was consistently or repeatedly reacted to badly, it might worth having a good hard think about whether one's baseline for "normal and nice" is, in fact, not extremely problematic.

This is an incredibly useful post. Gods be thanked, I'm not currently wresting any health management issues, but I am trying to wrangle funding to get a heat pump installed, and the byzantine nature of the logistics is...not dissimilar.

I'm particularly grateful for the concept of the Suspense File. It's obvious once you say it, but that's a class of steps I keep getting up on.

I don't know if a flickr login is required, but the link for the pictures of the scan visualizations is coming up as a blank search page page with faint text in the middle: "Upgrade to Flickr Pro to hide these ads." (The link for the mass worked fine.)

Leeches are good where blood flow, I think esp venous return is compromised, like with reattached limbs & fingers & whatnot. Yes, one can get medical grade leeches! (Very expensive, I imagine.)

Patriarchal white supremacy is a hell of a drug.

Nice to see someone's going after this from the legislative side:

It seems like there are numerous opportunities for error along that particular side-chain.

If I was sufficiently motivated, it would have been interesting to call the restaurant and see if they knew anything about this attempted delivery.

@irina

But also: delivery droid getting salty because they misread the address: "Dude, not about me 'not wanting to eat;' do you not want your tip??"

@irina

I had to deliver a neighbor's whole-ass grocery order when Door Dash got it wrong (again). Fortunately, I got back from *my* grocery run before his stuff had been sitting long enough for the perishables to go bad.

And also: this reminds me I have to ping my online pharmacy to inform them that the prescription they marked as "delivered" never arrived at my house. :-\

I'm a certified Old, and I'm MUCH more excited about voting for Harris than Biden.

I'd be willing to bet that there are Actual Laws Of Physics to explain why the result is so plausible. (Which, tbc are well beyond my expertise. But I'll bet some bright soul out there could explain it.)

Sorry sorry! Couldn't help it 😁

I can't tell you how much courage you being On Here beating the drum of #CovidSafety helps me, a poor working schlub (who has to go into the office today, but who will be wearing my mask the entire day).

@JessTheUnstill

I mean they're better at the strategic and technical aspects of messaging. Consistent message, catch presentation, that sort of thing. (Most especially the consistent—and relentless—part.)

@JessTheUnstill

It's a sad fact that the right is better at messaging than the left.

@nathans

Thank you for this. I hadn't really thought it through, & mostly have felt grumpy at being guilted about "small charitable donation to a worthy cause."

But this is makes it MUCH easier to mentally tell them to fuck off.

Too bad there's not a button for "pay your own damn taxes, jackhole."
