I would take more pleasure in watching Kevin McCarthy squirm and grovel, but the consequences of his concessions to the far-right are very troubling and could put us on a road no one wants to go down for the next two years. I explain in todayβs piece.

Absolutely floored that I gained over 100 followers on Mastodon today. I'm not sure if it's because:
A. You think my facts are kind of funny.
B. I was banned from Twitter and you all just despise Elon Musk that much.
C. You're all con artists who are planning to slowly gain my trust and then rob me blind when I least suspect it.
Honestly, I'm good with any of the above.

I have a life threatening health condition that can require the immediate attention of #ambulance crews. I would be considered a category 1 emergency which is being given priority. But, I've told my husband that if I die because an ambulance cannot get to me, he is not to blame the #nhsstrikes, he is to blame the #tories and their incompetence. Point the finger at the right villain. The #tory govt would rather you died than pay those who save us. I stand firmly with the #NHS & it's workers βπβ

I donβt ever post personal things, but Iβm too excited not to share!
I have had an incredibly tough medical battle for the last two years.
Without getting into specifics, yesterday was a huge milestone for me!
My Hickman (tunneled central line) was removed. Although I still have some chronic med issues/pain, this marks a significant move in the right direction and a big improvement in my quality of life!
IβM SO THANKFUL! βΊοΈβ€οΈβπ©Ήπ

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
