something I think about a lot is how Fred Baker made enrolling on the California judgement roll as thorough as possible, even going so far as to get permission from the government to blanket enroll people who didn't want to ID as California native... and my 2nd great grandfather still likely would have refused.

They were straight up going door to door with these applications and one of Papa Andy's brothers was like HERE IS ANDREW'S ADDRESS SO YOU CAN SPEAK WITH HIM

the thing about this though is the payout years later that my mom and grandma received. Lateral relatives could be used from the judgement rolls, but whenever mom tells this story she frames it as the money being a surprise for them both. Papa Andy died in 1967. Who the HELLLLLL TOLD THE BIA SO THEY COULD GET THE TREATY MONEY??

dick makes people mentally ill. dick havers, dick wannabes and dick lovers are all insane. it's like toxoplasmosis, you have compulsive need to defend and push and worship dicks all the time and spead your dick mania to everywhere you go.

this seems rational and grounded in empirical evidence

fitness update: I'm too short for the lat pulldown machine.

I also finally went to the gym that's in walking distance from where I live, but the treadmills there are different than the ones I used last week. I couldn't figure out how to do an alternating incline + speed at the same time sort of situation and it wouldn't keep the speed I would set it to when it would increase so I need to like, read the manual when I'm not at the gym to figure it out lmao

if your animal is lying on the floor, furniture etc, it’s important to take a picture of them. then, if they move or shift in any way, it’s important to take another picture. with this technique, you can take many pictures of your animal

its probably not healthy for me to go after transphobes when they try to paint all sexual violence as committed by ~*MALES*~ but when they're presenting an argument that 🌸female🌻spaces are safe and pure and good away from violence I am real tempted to make it awkward!!

[skruffie]

holy shit, this is actually the first time someone took it seriously and actually pointed to resources for me to read. Downside is they're more about DV in romantic relationships and lesbian dynamics/statistics. I'm not giving her credit though, I'm just ending it with pointing out her communities aren't safe either until others take it as seriously as she does.

The other thing is that I've gone through most of these resources. The fucked up thing is my abuser is a straight woman, the abuse happened in the presence of friends as a means of violent humiliation, and we were never romantically or sexually involved. It wasn't rape either, specifically. I have found it more helpful to read resources for men who have been abused by women more often than not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I finally, fiiiiinally after saying that I would for a while, got a gym membership and actually went for the first time. I thought the hurdle would be like, getting there and then getting overwhelmed on where to begin but the hurdle was just fucking getting there at all this morning lmao

I woke up early enough, got a bit of food in me and was intending to do this in the morning. Last night the home gym I had signed up for suddenly had a "closed til thursday for new equipment setup" posted on the site, so I found a different location and decided to try going there with a free pass for the day because I was Determined. I checked the site and the app again today. Still listed as open.

But first, I needed to pick up my meds! I get in my car, aaaand my tire pressure is low. So, meds and tire pressure THEN the gym!

:) I got there :) and it was closed :) because they're also getting new equipment set up

SO THEN I CALL A DIFFERENT LOCATION and I'm like "hey the place I got the free pass for is unexpectedly closed can I please drop in for a day session there pretty please" and the lady on the phone was like "yeah that should be fine! i'll let a supervisor know" and so I drove there. There was a different gal up front and I explained who I talked to and she was a bit unsure, because I guess this (third) location doesn't do the free pass thing. She suggested a couple others that might.

and I'm like

"i mean i really appreciate that but I am probably not going to try a 4th location and might just call it a wash because I don't want any of you to get in trouble"

but it turns out the wonderful phone lady left a note up front with my name and the situation so the girl I was talking to now was like "so it's probably fine" and I said "omg thank you okay" and just went for it!! This place also didn't have like, keyless lockers so I was just carrying my bag around with me from machine to machine lmaoooo

treadmill is fun. After ten minutes on it I understood how quickly the gym can become someone's whole personality. I wasn't feeling ready to try free weights so I just used some of the machines and duitfully followed the etiquette of disinfecting each spot I touched because I want to be a Good Noodle and Good Gym User, and I feel good

I'm hoping the one I actually signed up to use is open thursday like the site says because that one is in walking distance and I think I want to try getting up to actually do this before work.

The eye doctor is the most fun doctor you can go to. They never steal your blood. They never make you get naked and put on a paper dress. They're just like, "Can you see these letters? It's fine if you can't, we can fix that." And they don't even spell anything.
