as the saying goes: “a permissible protest is just a parade.”

zoom are doesn’t take ohp but they recommended a clinic that does and will be able to test with a pcr.

i also got liquid if because i am definitely dehydrated as well as Mucinex and Tylenol and took those while waiting for the bus and i’m still a bit out of it but definitely feeling better.

so i’m not just a dramatic bitch after all. this is what being politically active and socially engaged is all about.

mentor/former mentor/friend told me to email the mayor and the city councilors for that district and open a dialogue because they should know the direct experience of their constituents in these shelters.

found out our just future formerly known as [in]human solutions is a county run shelter. so if i get pneumonia or long covid i am suing the county.

yeah no being outside while sick with my day bags is a terrible idea. i’m already feeling worse.

kind of a misleading photo considering the plastic mattresses are like half that level of thickness. you can even tell comparing it to the mattress next to it. this person definitely brought in their own bedding and used a bedroll for extra padding.

i was wrong. it’s 12:39 to 3pm. i asked them to provide me with a schedule in my first day and they said there was a resident handbook they would leave on my bed but they never did.

nearly got in trouble. on the train now.

This week’s main story is about Paramount’s decision to name Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, the future of U.S. journalism, and why we think she shouldn’t describe her endeavors as “punk.” Bari, look at us: You are not punk. Joe Strummer would’ve hated your fancy Substack, Bari!

please do not engage in Indigenous erasure.

redid post because cringe typos :P i haven’t had coffee in two days now and i am only just starting to come out of delerium. please still free to repost.

you are still settlers on Native land. give an Indigenous person money, buy their art, boost their accounts. today is not a day for you to feel italian pride and talk up other italians from history who you think deserve their own holiday instead. it is a day of reflection, reparations, and equity.

yo Italians.
glad you can recognize columbus caused a lot of pain.
today is still not your holiday. pick another day.
this is a day of pain and reclamation for the Indigenous peoples who have been harmed by that bastard.

it is Indigenous Peoples Day.
act accordingly. support Indigenous folks.

‘It’s no longer being covered up and denied:’ Discovering Oregon’s hidden Native American boarding school history While researching Oregon's boarding school history, a Klamath Tribes woman uncovered her own family's story.

After discovering surprising details about her own family’s history, Gabriann "Abby" Hall decided to focus on researching and telling the story of federal Native American boarding school policy. Today, on Indigenous Peoples Day, she speaks at Central Oregon Community College in Bend.

The person is pale skinned, wearing a ribbon shirt and clay beads, and holding a Cherokee style pottery bowl with an incised looped design.

If anyone needs a doom scroll break please look at this handsome prince we met on our walk last night. He was sitting on a rock and watching the sunset 💖 He was so calm and friendly. So unbothered. Aspirational.

another person went the hospital from here last night. another resident called the ambulance for her. that’s two ambulances yesterday.

When he says your job isn't a real job, he's saying you don't deserve to get paid. He is saying they don't need you "bullshit job" workers anymore. The ai revolution these monsters want is not the one that frees humanity from labour, but one that frees capital owners from having to pay for labour.

Guys, Sam Altman owns OpenAI. He knows what a bullshit job is. He knows what bullshit work is. He is profits handsomely off of bullshit. What he's actually talking about is, (and this is almost always true of these billionaire freaks) is eugenics. He is talking about who is disposable.

I feel like as someone whose Brand™️ is like 30% Being Italian-American I have to say:

Fuck Columbus Day, dude was a racist, rapist, murdering worm of a man

True transformation towards yourself doesn't need a thesis for you to figure it out. It just needs effort, a willingness to learn, and the ability to grow from and accept your mistakes.

It needs time, patience, and oftentimes: some personal grace.

we have to be out of here between 1-3pm and five blocks away though. so i’m gonna go to an urgent care then to see if i can get one. also mucinex and tylenol. we technically aren;t allowed to have otc medication here but that is asinine. i’m getting what my mama told me that i need.

taking covid test number 2

antigen tests are often inaccurate. the only way to know for sure is a pcr but we use what we have.

i should have just lied is what i learned. sometimes by neurodivergent honesty is a definite hurdle. sometimes i think when i tell the truth folks don’t even believe me but i can’t help it. i expect folks want to hear the truth. as long as they’re not cops i try to be open and forthright.

i don’t know if i can do ten more days in this place, let alone two months for them to start the housing transition process. i don‘t even know if i will qualify for it since they put “drug user” on my record for admitting i very occasionally have cannabis as i‘d had an edible the night before.

once i feel better i’m gonna get a tent and attempt camping in a few people‘s backyards and make them confront the reality of what i have been pushed to because shame on them.

I should not have checked social media today because this has made me irrationally livid.

shelters are death traps.
