Waiting until my kid gets up and have them do it. I think I can work up to it with some exposure. But I pictured being able to just do it right away and that was unrealistic. 😑

Literally forgot I have blood/injection/injury phobia, the ONLY phobia that makes you pass out. 🙄
I've had enough exposure that having a medical professional do blood collection of whatever amount is fine now, but...this is a new event. 🤦🏻♀️
Also I could do this on someone else. Just not myself.

Trying to learn how to use this complex little blood-testing device and I didn't realize the holdup would be that I can't poke myself with the lancet!

"the very concept of rule of law is in fucking shambles to be sure, but it takes them time & effort even to dismiss shit. Every second gained through procedural delay is a second in which material resistance can be organized & enacted and safety shored up.
...resisting nazis also about grinding & halting of gears, bureaucratic sabotage, disruption of process.
It's not everything but it's slowdown for them & breathing space for us."

"And where has [not demonizing] gotten us? We have a dictator in the white house and a congress that fears him.
They deserve to be demonized. They beat the shit out of me and my coworkers and Trump forgave them for it."

"Steal their car keys. Change the WiFi passwords. Stop answering when they call you for help. Let their new gods save them. 'Victory begins at home.'
Huge amount of immediate impact in the place you have the most power.
If they need you to turn off motion smoothing how much harder would it be to get power of attorney.
Remove any influence they have to continue harming the world and walk away richer for it."

" 'My racist uncle is so dumb. He posts the worst shit to Facebook.'
Hey, it sounds like he’s just lonely, and would love a visit from you, where you could really talk, and then while he’s in the bathroom, I bet he has some rare coins.
In times like this, when national politics are largely out of your control, instead of despairing, I encourage you think locally & devote time to dismantling and defeating people in your own community."

" 'The president is doing a coup to overthrow the Constitution' is not a problem courts, even if performing at their absolute ideal maximum best, are built to solve. It's not one they can solve. Congress is the only institution for that, and beyond that the problem becomes... very extra-institutional."

"There is a massive purge of government employees ongoing.
This is possible only because of the rightwing legal conspiracy that packed the Supreme Court with corrupt Republican/MAGA judges.
A real Supreme Court would be stopping this.
We are in serious trouble."
