- Holy shit, it got up to like 25°F today, it hasn't been that warm for weeks! I didn't even need to wear my bunny hat to and from my car!
- (The bunny hat, and the me but 9 years ago, in question)
- Nope. Sorry. I can only process one unexpected death right now. Catherine O'Hara is going to have to wait until I've accepted that my uncle is gone before I even start thinking of her as someone who no longer physically exists.
- Okay, hear me out: What if we stopped using "person first" language for disabilities, and started using it for criminal charges/accusations? E.g. I am a diabetic, and Mangione is the person accused of killing the UHC CEO. See the difference? The former is a proven reality, and the latter is not!
- A New York federal judge dismissed murder and weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione, a major blow to prosecutors that means Mangione no longer faces a possible death penalty if convicted reut.rs/45Fin56
- Like I appreciate that Reuters used "alleged" as a modifier but it just doesn't seem like enough. Not just because the evidence against him is bullshit, but because guilt should never ever be treated like a foregone conclusion, because that's how fascism and authoritarianism thrive.
- While I'm thinking about this shit, just a PSA... please make a will, even if it's just instructions for what to do w/your body, and make sure your loved ones know how to access it/who your lawyer is who made it. Also consider life insurance if you can bc apparently just obits are hundreds of $$s.
- Seeing my cousins scramble to figure things out in the depth of grief is really making me realize how difficult capitalism and associated bureaucracy makes even this aspect of life (as it were) for survivors, even when you're not doing a traditional funeral or burial. I got some shit to figure out.
- I don't have life insurance bc I don't own property and barely have any $, and I don't need my name etched in a stone to feel like I've mattered. But if that would help anyone I leave behind, I don't want them to have to pay $1000 for it. So next benefits enrollment cycle I'm prob gonna do it.
- I also don't know wtf happens to your debts when you die but hopefully I'll outlive my parents and they won't harass my brother to pay my student loans (bc the likelihood of me paying them off before I die is uhhhh not high!).
