NEW VLOG!

The (temporary) return of medical insomnia was rude. Also I share how I kicked Spotify (who accepted money from ICE) to the curb while keeping all 200+ of my playlists

The heating unit makes too much noise and it messes with my sleep (documented so It can get fixed)
YouTube video by Betty TheWheelchair The heating unit makes too much noise and it messes with my sleep (documented so It can get fixed)

I documented the noises that my heating unit is making at night and is part of the reason why I am having problem sleeping. I sent this to the repair department in my building and I'm hoping they can fix this today because for fucks sake I'm so tired and I barely slept

I have no idea why medical insomnia is even a thing for human beings, but it is and last night was pretty rough.

with so many ppl boycotting amazon & target, & with so many ppl are struggling (more than usual) to get enough food, I don't understand why more grocery stores don't offer online "gift registries" for ppl

(it would also make getting donations for soup kitchens & community fridges SO much easier)

Bah I wanted to go to the protest in solidarity with the Starbucks workers who are still on strike, but the Ativan that was needed in order to get through the MRI physically speaking, is taking its sweet time leaving & my body's too weak. There will be other protests but still...

The chaos of minor Ativan withdrawal (for the MRI) vs perimenopause are currently battling for dominance.

That said this album feels right lol.

Tucson residents fought back against Amazon’s secretive plans to build a data center in the desert β€” and won.

But now, in a blatant attempt to override the City Council and the will of the people, Amazon and the project’s developer is pushing ahead anyway.
