I'm so tired of war and dead civilians and devastated lands. It's never the people of a land who actually profit from war; it's always the already-rich who want to be richer and are never at risk of harm to themselves.

My advice to you: Take today off. Go for a walk. Read poetry. Nap. Call your loved ones. There is a 4 month battle ahead where the outcome is uncertain. Rest up. Nothing more you can do today- or this July 4th week to be honest. Remember what what America could be, if we have the will.

Instead of panicking or yet another postmortem (forgive me I've been Black this whole time so not much of this is breaking for me), link up with like minded folk for practical solidarity. Shield those more vulnerable than you and figure out how you can soften structural abandonment.

At the Frenchglen Hotel, using their wifi. Road to top of Steens still closed by landslide on our side, maybe opens this month. Gorgeous weather. Four screech owlets bumble outside our window every night. Life is good.

OH has joined us, and I have moved a shitload of stuff from the SUV to the pickup. I'm normally very organized for back country residence, but this time stuff is scattered EVERYWHERE. He's talking to a tribal atty in OK about us donating a bit of inherited mineral rights back to tribe. Then, ciao!

This is a small step towards fixing the unmitigated and inhumane disaster that is disability benefits in this country, but even small steps in the right direction are rare enough that it’s worth celebrating. Now build on this, starting with removing asset limits!

Sometimes people ask me about the super rich in Renaissance Florence, whether the art/culture/science boom was an example of trickle-down working. (A) Florence had a wealth tax, (B) its richest man Palla Strozzi had the equivalent of only $250 million. Want more Leonardos? Tax the Rich. 🎨🧑‍🎨🖌🎭🔭🖼📚📐🏛🎻💰

My husband should be arriving any minute. Then I get to rapidly identify what of the (very full) car's cargo I need to move into the pickup so I will have it with me in our month in the back country. THEN I can relax and not drive, for weeks at a time. And I'll be off line until mid July. Ciao.

I don’t want to dilute this, but the same is true for detention of asylum seekers, and probably a ton of other things.

let’s not forget the amount of unpaid labor that you, the patient, get to perform every month (or more) coordinating all your various needs with doctors’ offices/pharmacies/therapists/etc etc etc bc even when they deign to help with such shit, there’s at least a 50/50 chance they’ll fuck it up…

So I am likely starting a job this week, but it’s going to be a bit before I see paychecks. I could use like $40 for transit and expenses this week.
