- Just cancelled my Washington Post subscription. It's a pity, because there are still some good reporters there. www.npr.org/2026/02/04/n...
- Phew, made it through this month's chemo (do it 5 days a month). The morning after feels like a bad hangover. Now I have 3 weeks off... just in time to start chemo infusion with an experimental drug! My life is so exciting.

- No side effects last night! What a relief to sleep through the night and feel fine in the morning. Tonight's the last dose until next month. Phew, I think I'm going to pull through. :)
- 🥗 If you want to have all these things, and have people in these jobs, but don't want them to be paid a living wage, there's a word for that: exploitation.
- 🥗 Axiom 1: No profession or occupation should leave you in poverty. Axiom 2: Poverty should not exist. Axiom 3: Every job/service we value/want to exist in our society should pay well, with good benefits and job security.

- Because otherwise why on earth would anyone take those jobs and provide those services? M3? I want to have musicians, coffee shops, retail stores, restaurants, nurses, teachers, and firefighters. I want them to be paid a living wage so they can live near where they work!

- 🥗 They say work, with all its rent-paying "dignity" is the ticket out of poverty. But for that to be true, jobs would have to actually pay a living wage. Without that, it's not a ticket out of poverty, and definitely doesn't "keep us free". open.substack.com/pub/makethem...

- Last fall, the Zofran anti-nausea med kept nausea from the chemo pills a bay. Not so much with the higher dose I'm taking now. Threw up during the night and I feel awful. Two more nights of this before I get a 3-week break. Uggghhh. Cancer sucks.
- 🥗 Ya I agree with that! Of course, ditto for every other profession. open.substack.com/pub/peoplepo...
- Ahem. "1,211 people were arrested on charges of drug sales or manufacturing in Maine in 2014. Of those, 170 - 14.1% - were black, and almost all the rest were white." www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
- He was '"enormously angry" 'at being called a racist"'... so he did some more racism. "he was '"enormously angry'" at being called a racist, and restated his earlier remarks which cast Maine's drug problem in racial terms." www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
- He's unfit to serve as anything, anywhere, right now (or ever). "Representative Sara Gideon of Freeport, the assistant House Democratic leader, said: "We strongly and regretfully feel that he is unfit to serve as governor of the state of Maine right now." www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
- 🥗 Paul LePage is despicable. There are no words that one can say in polite company to even begin to describe what a wretched human being he is. Remember when public discourse was (slightly) civil, or at least people (kind of) pretended to be (somewhat) civil? www.bbc.com/news/world-u... b
- I sure don't remember LePage being civil. He's always been a hateful bigot. He fought against electronic WIC benefits when he was governor of Maine. Just because.
- 🥗 Tomorrow in Arlington VA the temp will range from 1 (-14) all the way to a balmy 11 (-23)! So thankful we have plentiful food, shelter, heat, and warm clothing. Feeling for the many (way too many) who do not. Gross $3 tacos are a cold comfort.
- This ice is serious business. A wall of several inches of ice surrounds our car. Not easy to break. I'm not going anywhere today!
- 🥗 Cool trick using AI to price out a gross and severely low-cal dinner for $3 following the new USDA food pyramid. Now I want to see the simulation results for getting rent down to $3. @hbottemiller.bsky.social @foodfixco.bsky.social Then do a $3 MRI. Let's get real. foodfix.co/brooke-rolli...
- I’ve seen enough: Apple Music is terrible software. The classical app isn’t much better. Search in both is broken. 🎵

- 🥗 New monthly state SNAP data (October 2025) incoming.
- 🥗 I have a question about aid to Gaza. What organizations are abler to get into Gaza to provide aid? If we donate to individuals, are there places they can use the $ to meet their basic needs? Forgive my ignorance -- it seems like everything's been destroyed, so no markets to buy food etc.
- Is that true? What is the most effective way to support people in Gaza?
