What else should we be fighting for if not for love, for peace, for prosperity within this union. It’s our duty.

Here we are… another medical road bump per se that demonstrates the need for this vehicle.

Addie is currently having difficulties with her central line ballooning and she needs to see a vascular specialist who is not at the hospital or in the ER.

Insurance denies the medical necessity for Addie to be able to get to the appointment by ambulance and so now we wait to see if her Medicaid will cover the transport which can take days.

Adeline cannot be transported by just any accessible transport vehicle because her medical complexity.

This line is what keeps Adeline alive… so, there once again is the most likely option to have to call 911 and get an ambulance to take her to the ER in hopes of getting a vascular consult who can fix the line instead of replacing it. Going to the ER is a risk in itself on Adeline’s fragile body.

While we wait to find a specialist, there is a risk of the line breaking which would mean an emergency situation, surgery, long hospital stay, and a high risk of infection which could be months in the hospital. Due to Adeline’s visceral nerve pain and complex regional pain syndrome, any surgical procedure sets her body on fire. A fire that cannot easily be extinguished. There are always complications in many of Adeline’s systems that does occur with every medical procedure.

With this van, we could transport Adeline to a vascular specialist before the emergency and risk to her life happens. This is why we need help.

Adelines medical expenses far exceed insurance and Medicaid. So many of her treatments and medications are not covered. Having this van will help Adeline to get to appointments with specialists before an emergency takes place.

We have two more days to purchase this vehicle for Adeline.

Please help by praying, sharing, and if you are able, donating. Thank you, we are forever grateful for your help in giving Adeline this life changing medical need!

Tra poco il calcio di inizio del mondiale in Qatar. Una cerimonia commovente e le parole dell’Emiro, Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, che ha concluso il suo discorso con parole di pace e di fratellanza. E noi tutti di pace e di fratellanza abbiamo bisogno. Emozionante.

"Persone di Paesi e razze diverse arriveranno in Qatar e tanti altri condivideranno questi momenti davanti agli schermi di tutti i Continenti. É bello che i popoli mettano da parte ciò che divide e celebrino le loro diversità e al tempo stesso ciò che li unisce. Auguro a tutte le squadre di giocare un calcio magnifico, di grande sportività, di vivere un tempo pieno di gioia e di emozioni. Che siano giorni che possano ispirare bontà e speranza. Benvenuti e buona fortuna a tutti"

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS; STATE GOVERNORS & LEGISLATURES

Implement Ranked-Choice Voting & Election Reforms For Vote Integrity

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to urge your immediate action on introducing and passing ranked-choice voting (RCV) and other vital election reforms at both the federal and state levels. As a concerned constituent and advocate for democratic principles, I believe that these reforms are essential to improving our electoral processes and ensuring fair and representative governance.

Ranked-choice voting has proven effective in promoting democratic outcomes by enabling voters to express their preferences more fully and ensuring that elected candidates enjoy broad support from the electorate. RCV mitigates wasted votes, reduces the spoiler effect, and fosters more inclusive and issue-focused campaigns.

In addition to advocating for ranked-choice voting, I strongly support comprehensive election reforms, including campaign finance reform, gerrymandering reform, and initiatives to enhance voter access and participation. These reforms are critical to strengthening our democracy and restoring trust in our electoral system.

The implementation of Ranked-Choice Voting is a crucial step towards enhancing our democratic process. RCV, which allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, ensures that elected officials have majority support, eliminates the spoiler effect, and encourages positive campaigning. This system is already in use in several U.S. cities and countries like Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. Alaska recently became the second state to adopt RCV for statewide offices, following Maine's lead. It is time to consider this reform at both federal and state levels to ensure our electoral systems reflect the diversity of our nation and empower all voices. Therefore, I urge you to introduce and support legislation that promotes RCV and other election reforms.

We must recognize that Americans are more than a two-party system. Let's take meaningful steps to ensure our electoral systems reflect the diversity of our nation and empower all voices.

Thank you for considering my perspective and taking decisive action to improve our electoral processes. I stand ready to support your efforts in advancing these important reforms.

Americans, these are things we are NOT saying in 2024:

"Voting blue won't solve anything." Yes it will: if enough of us do it, it will solve a problem called Trump's second term in the White House. We unfortunately live in a two-party system. If you refuse to vote, you're effectively voting for Trump. I shouldn't need to explain this to people, yet here we are.

"It doesn't matter who's president. Both candidates are the same anyway." No, they are REALLY not. Biden was never my first choice, and his shipments of arms to Israel are despicable, but don't try to tell me even for a second that a second Trump term would be the same for the world as a second Biden term.

"But voting blue won't fix [fundamental underlying problem in America]." Voting for Democrats cannot fix every issue, this is true. But by saying this and ONLY this you are discouraging people from voting by making them feel hopeless. Voting is one of many tools in our arsenal, not the only tool, but an important one, and it does matter.

"You shouldn't vote blue, you should do [other thing] instead." See above: you can vote and protest and organize at the same time. It's not either/or. You can do it all. Stop discouraging voters from exercising their rights under the guise of leftism.

"Voting is just legitimizing government power. It makes you part of the system." Literally just shut up. Women and people of color didn't fight for their voting rights to have you say things like this. If you live in America and you can legally vote, then you should fucking vote, and vote blue. There is no neutral option.

"Voting blue just makes you complicit in [this bad policy]." Inaction, and allowing Trump to have a second term, is worse for the entire world than any Democrat policy. Yes, even that one. Voting is not about finding a perfect unproblematic candidate. It is about choosing the lesser of two evils.

"Voting doesn't work because—" STOP IT. STOP DISCOURAGING PEOPLE FROM VOTING.

You know who wants you NOT to vote? Trump supporters, that's who. You should be suspicious of ANYONE who is suggesting that your vote doesn't matter, or that both candidates are the same, or that Biden's policy on XYZ means you shouldn't vote for him. Trump supporters aren't trying to get your vote by saying, "Vote for Trump!" They're trying to get your vote by DISCOURAGING YOU FROM VOTING AT ALL.

I don't like Biden either, but Trump is unequivocally worse. Voting doesn't fix everything, but it is the minimum fucking requirement of living in a democracy. Voting for president has real, tangible, immediate impacts on people's lives, and choosing not to vote is not the rebellion you think it is, it is just relinquishing your voice. So fucking vote. THIS IS A GROUP PROJECT AND DAMN IT WE ARE NOT FAILING BECAUSE OF YOU.

Cyberpunk as MORE than the aesthetic.

DIY Ethos: The idea of customizing and controlling your own tech and environment is central.

Minimalism Meets Maximalism: A balance of utilitarian minimalism with aesthetically intense maximalism (think neon lights and complex gadgetry).

Question Everything: Skepticism towards authority and a willingness to question societal norms.

Adaptability: Being flexible and ready to adapt to rapid changes in tech or society.

Skill Stacking: Cyberpunks often learn a range of skills from hacking to physical training to art creation.

Alternative Fashion: A mix of futuristic and retro styles, often borrowing from punk, goth, and other subcultures.

Information Security: A focus on protecting your data and digital footprint.

Sustainability and Resourcefulness: Repurposing, recycling, and being efficient with resources is often a focus.

Remind the world it's more than surface deep.

stabbing as a metaphor for penetration is great but when are we going to talk about pressing down on where someone is wounded to disarm them or just to be cruel while fighting. does nobody else care about the perverse intimacy of knowing exactly where to touch to overpower someone. the grotesque vulnerability of it. especially if you're the one who wounded them in the first place.

I must not watch election coverage. Election coverage is the mind-killer. Election coverage is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will cast my vote. I will permit the result to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the election coverage has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Hi love of my soul. I miss you. I wish you were here. I wish I was holding you. I wish we were together so we can end the night together, talk about your day, everything you've gone through. I wish I could hear your voice. I need to hear your voice. You are all I want. so please be safe! Please come back to me soon. It's been 11 years since I last saw you, heard your voice and that moment was the best moment of my life. I couldn't've of survived without you, you kept me alive all these years that and the Grace of God. I really do miss you. I wish you were here.
