Goddammit, people should not be fucking DYING from HEAT in a place that they cannot leave or where they cannot control their environment. Air conditioning in California's Central Valley should be BASIC, like food, water, and shelter. I'm not sure how this doesn't constitute at least manslaughter.
The California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP), an advocacy group, said it appeared a female prisoner at the California Central Women's Facility in Chowchilla suffered a preventable heat-related death. Residents there are begging for air conditioning. www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

Went to a clinic today for a routine medical thing and was once again amazed by the number of people who are happy to hang out and just freely breathe in all the air juice inside the germ emporium

The number of Google searches for Project 2025 skyrocketed after Taraji P. Henson mentioned it during her BET Awards appearance and encouraged the audience watching to Google it. That single black woman did more for liberal causes than all the current DNC leaders and the candidates themselves.

I got a chance yesterday for a little forest pour. Got out to the real thing this morning for a stroll through the redwoods :-). There's a small grove at the research forest for the local university. #woods #woodland #pourpainting #forest #trees #contemporaryart

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay “People said that there was one law for the rich and one law for the poor, but it wasn't true. There was no law for those who made the law, and no law for the incorrigibly lawless.”
Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”

Just FYI we’re entering a summer Covid wave right now (especially western regions in the US); you can see it in the CDC wastewater plot here (and anecdotally a bunch of my friends are suddenly testing positive). www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...

you'll often see a cat's ear twitch for no reason. that's because a ghost is talking to them. ghosts talk to cats constantly. they never shut up. that's why cats are so tired all the time. some random dead Victorian dude won't stop telling them how much mutton costs in 1872.

I was blessed by the executive function fairy last night, so deep-cleaned and reorganized the kitchen, living room, craft area, and main bath. Today my legs hurt and my focus is so bad that when trying to crochet I kept missing the spot where the hook goes, lol

The West coast isn't as region-specific with accents, so: fair enough
I see the 2013 NYT dialect quiz is going around again! I am one of those people whose origin can be pinpointed in like two questions, lol. (I grew up about 20 miles west of the three cities highlighted.)

Ah, the old POTS positional headaches are back (it's a normal summer thing for me). Most folks get positional headache pain in the back of the head, but since my body insists on being 10 gallons of weird in a 5 gallon meatsack, I get mine in my right temple

Folks on here talking about fireworks has reminded me that I need to restock on 'hobbit leaf' for my annual July 4 LOTR marathon. I think I'll finally invest in a new water piece as an early bday present to myself
