I have lived in Niskayuna for the last twenty years and ditto.

(of course Niskayuna is one town over from where the Shakers actually were but minor detail)

I have to say growing up in upstate New York I never once met a blond dude from Niskayuna who claimed to be the archangel Gabriel

Me: passes a sign with three different TERF dogwhistles, telling me to vote "no" on NYS Prop 1

Me: well I assume I'm voting yes on whatever that is.

looks it up

The proposal in question:

"This proposal amends Article 1, Section 11 of the New York Constitution. Section 11 now protects against unequal treatment based on race, color, creed, and religion. The proposal will amend the act to also protect against unequal treatment based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, and pregnancy outcomes, as well as reproductive healthcare and autonomy.  The amendment allows laws to prevent or undo past discrimination."

(bold in original)

Oh yeah, definitely voting yes.

To the TERF in Niskayuna: come on out. I just want to talk. No really, I'm pathetic in a fight, but I need to tell you to your face what an awful person you are.

Also: notice how they're all too happy to throw the disabled, immigrants, women who've experienced pregnancy-related discrimination, and queer people as a whole under the bus if it means excluding trans women.

I'm sorry I'm not pronouncing it like that.

I've only ever read the word 'synecdoche' and now that I've heard it, I wish I could go back to a world where it doesn't hurt like that

My Protagonists

▪    MAIN CHARACTERS

Fawn Davies - Late 20s early thirties. She’s one of two officially licensed paranormal investigators in Schenectady. Winchell Vega is her business partner and the other licensed paranormal investigator.   She is mediocre at magic, but is a good medium and most importantly  has  good people skills, which Vega lacks. She also has good deductive and investigating skills. Her mother Heather, was murdered by  serial killer Sebastian Cunningham when Fawn was about six and her father is unknown. She was raised by her grandparents in the upscale suburb of Niskayuna. Cunningham never revealed what he did with her mother’s body, he was executed in 2000. Fawn wants to find his body and contact his spirit to get answers. But right now she’s working on other people’s paranormal problems. One the main characters. I think she might be queer but not sure, likes mostly men but so too busy to form a relationship. 

Notes for people auditioning: Calm, professional, mostly slightly soft voice, up talks, she sees the ghosts but they do not alarm her, usually. Tries to sound more in control then she might feel or think.  More prone to anger than sorrow. 

Winchell  ‘Win’ Vega - Half Puerto Rican, (dad’s side) English- German descent (Mom’s side).  Winchell is in his late 30’s he didn’t look on the verge of a mental collapse, brushed his hair and was clean shaven he’d be good looking. He has a rough tenor voice.  He has a wild look in his eyes, and he wears a rumpled trench coat and slightly stained sweater vests over button up shirts also rumpled and usually a pair of khakis and scuffed dress shoes. Winchell is highly talented at magic, also very sensitive to the paranormal; he can see what others can’t. He’s good at his trade, but the years and things he’s seen have taken its toll. He smokes like a chimney and is cheap, will shake someone down for a loosey.  There are rumors that he was diagnosed as schizophrenic  as a young man and has been medicated ever since. That is partly true, being able to see things and perceive things normal people can’t make him look schizophrenic also the pills do nothing. He took Fawn under his wing when she was in her early 20s and helped her get the training and license for this. Personality wise, he’s blunt, he rambles, and stubborn with a paranoid streak.  He’s an asexual permanent bachelor. Even though when he was seventeen he had a brief intimate relationship with an extra-dimensional being who was in the form of a girl about his age. He’s closer to his Dad’s side of the family then his Mom’s, his older half sister Jasmine takes care of his domestic chores when he can’t. He’s autistic but has never disclosed it.  Also a POV character? Has be AMAB sounding.

Notes for people auditioning:  For the person auditioning for my male protag think Fiver from Watership Down only human and  North eastern American: anxious, scared, frail with a tenor voice. ' Remember he has seen horrors beyond most people’s comprehension, is seeing horrors now and will see horrors in future.

ROTTERDAM — Migrants bused from New York City arrived at a Super 8 motel where residents of the Carman Road business were kicked out Tuesday.

The sudden displacement of the motel guests, some of them indigent, caused a stir Wednesday among local officials outraged that people confronting poverty were seemingly left without living quarters to make way for the new arrivals.

The motel is the latest Capital Region business to offer housing to migrants bused from New York. The town of Colonie went to court after the first group arrived in May at a motel in town. New York City buses then brought migrants to two hotels in Albany. It is estimated that more than 400 migrants have been brought to Albany County, but Tuesday’s development appears to be the first time there were plans to house them in a Schenectady County community. Officials said New York City signed a contract with the Super 8 to allow migrants to live at the motel.

Rotterdam Town Supervisor Mollie Collins said a Schenectady County official told her the migrants arrived from Texas to New York City before going to Rotterdam. She said there were still questions about whether the motel stay was temporary, how long the migrants had been in the U.S. and their immigration status.

“There are so many questions we have,” Collins said. “Because we haven’t been given any information.

“You have to remember this is a humanitarian effort,” she said later. “It’s human beings and you can’t lose sight of that.”

But officials with New York City Mayor Eric Adams' office late Wednesday afternoon said the guests at the Super 8 Motel who were being displaced had all been offered free “extended stay” lodging at a comparable hotel nearby. They did not immediately clarify the details of that offer or how long an “extended stay” would last.

Motel management has for two days declined to speak with reporters.

On Wednesday, security guards roped off the parking lot to the motel. A couple people drove by offering food or clothing. Others shouted in anger from passing vehicles. That morning, town codes department workers conducted a scheduled fire inspection at the building.

Later in the day, groups of people left the motel to shop at the nearby gas stations. One group said they were from Peru, Venezuela and Colombia. Speaking in Spanish that was later translated, one man said they were there to build a future for their children.

Schenectady County had not expected to receive migrants from New York City. County Manager Rory Fluman said most of the hotels in the county are at capacity, including facilities the county uses in Schenectady to house people in need.

“We’re being told they are all asylum-seekers,” Fluman said Wednesday. For part of the year, the Super 8 houses people who received assistance from the county’s Department of Social Services. Fluman said none of them were living at the motel when the guests were asked to leave Tuesday.

In the spring, New York City began busing migrants to upstate communities after the city’s social service system was overwhelmed by the mass arrival from Southern states.

New York City has promised to pay for migrant housing for anywhere from a month to a year. Fluman said he expected the migrants would eventually seek help from the county’s social services system.

Caught by surprise

The state assemblyman who represents the area decried the secrecy surrounding the situation and displacement of the longtime residents of the motel. The actual number of those forced out was not known.

In a statement released late Tuesday, Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara accused Adams of “thoughtlessly sending buses with migrants to (the) Super 8 Motel in Rotterdam, completely disregarding the fact that many of the individuals already residing there were struggling with poverty themselves and are now displaced. I am absolutely outraged by what has transpired.”

Local officials were caught by surprise by the upheaval at the motel. Schenectady County government officials were silent for hours after guests were told to leave the motel, but released a statement late Tuesday confirming, “a local motel contracted with the city of New York to host a group of asylum-seekers.”

U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko echoed Santabarbara’s sentiment, criticizing Adams' administration for not communicating ahead of the arrival of migrants. “It’s never acceptable to kick families and long-term residents to the curb with mere hours’ notice,” the Amsterdam Democrat said.

Town officials seemed equally surprised no one involved in New York City’s efforts to find housing for migrants informed them of the pending arrivals.

Santabarbara said he and others learned of the arrivals “through the rumor mill. This level of disrespect and blatant lack of concern for our community by forcing this situation on us without notice and zero communication is unforgivable. The federal government must take action to put an end to this chaos.”

A spokesman for the mayor’s office said New York has opened 185 sites to serve the 90,000 migrants and ran out of space, saying in a prepared statement that New York isn’t asking Schenectady County and other governments to manage the migrants or cover the cost of their housing. The statement did not address concerns about the Adams administration’s alleged failure to communicate with local officials nor that the motel kicked out residents to make way for the migrants.

Late Wednesday afternoon, a spokeswoman for Adams' office said the private contractor they are using to relocate migrants had offered guests at the Super 8 Motel alternative lodging arrangements at no cost.

“Guests at that hotel were all offered to be relocated and booked for an extended stay at a comparable hotel in the same area free of charge,” Adams' office said in a statement. “All but one reservation took our contractor up on that offer and instead preferred to be re-booked at the comparable hotel on a daily basis, which we facilitated.”

Offering help 

Mike Saccocio of the City Mission of Schenectady said he was prepared to help with any effort to find emergency housing for the people who have been displaced.

Saccocio said all of the organization’s housing was occupied but they were ready to “put down mats” like they do on frigid nights when people need emergency shelter. 

“We’re prepared to do our part,” he said Wednesday morning.

Guests were told they had to leave Tuesday morning. A sign posted in the lobby said the motel was closing and that longtime guests had 60 days to pick up their cash deposits. Alicia Cartland had lived at the motel with her 17-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son since October due to its affordable rates and proximity to her job at the local Taco Bell. Cartland said she and her children had just hours to pack up their belongings and find a new place to live.

 “Amine Catalyst by material type is projected to grow at fastest CAGR, in terms of value, during the forecast period.”

Amine Catalysts are highly effective at promoting the reaction between polyols and isocyanates, facilitating the formation of urethane linkages that are essential for polyurethane materials. Their catalytic activity ensures efficient and reliable polymerization, leading to consistent and high-quality end products. Amines can act as organocatalysts (small organic molecules that function as catalysts) in asymmetric reactions. The chiral amine catalyst interacts with a substrate in a way that encourages the formation of one enantiomer (mirror-image isomer) over the other. This selectivity is critical in pharmaceuticals, where one enantiomer might have the desired therapeutic effect while the other could be inactive or even harmful.

“Gelling Catalyst” is the largest market share in terms of value, during the forecast period.

Gelling Catalysts are essential for initiating the foaming process in materials like polyurethane. They trigger the reaction that generates gas, leading to the expansion of the material and the formation of a cellular structure. This structure gives rise to foam's unique properties such as lightweightness, insulation, cushioning, and sound absorption.

“Foam” by application segment accounted for the largest share in terms of value.

The furniture and bedding sector also contributes substantially, as flexible polyurethane foam create comfortable mattresses and seating. In packaging, the need for protective solutions amplifies the demand for foam-based materials. This pervasive usage is further enhanced by customization capabilities and innovations, making polyurethane foam an attractive choice for manufacturers looking to meet specific requirements.

Read someone suggest Moby Dick is cosmic horror and it FRAMED it that way I think, that Moby Dick is an unknowable force of nature or God or some Niskayuna demiurge. But it’s wild that Ishmael frames Moby Dick in the same manner Lovecraft might unknowable entities from the stars, but nothing about Moby Dick is ineffable.

It’s a whale. It’s a whale who doesn’t want to die and has gotten very good at not getting killed. Nothing it really does is out of character for a large mammal who is fighting back against predators.

The horror in Moby Dick is not the whale. It’s the monomania of men who adhere some cosmic significance to events that fall outside their willingness to understand. Men who refuse to accept “chance” and “nature” as explanations for their circumstances.

So it is cosmic horror in a way, and perhaps a really interesting aspect of it, because it is about the “descent into madness” that is usually just a framing device.
