Having a much better neck day today. I'm hoping it's more of a muscle strain than the pinched nerve returning. Hoping that pop was just a muscle pull or something.

There's a special place in hell for customer service departments that hang up on you while you're in queue at closing time.

Thank you, customer service, for being open only EXACTLY at the same time I'm usually asleep. Super appreciate that, thanks. I'm sure west-coasters who live normally are enjoying that "we close at 2PM" timing, too.

I'm hoping this neck pain is muscular, because it's gotten worse...BUT my arm is not hurting or weak. That means the nerve isn't getting pinched.

If it's muscular, hopefully it'll go away. If my arm starts to hurt, then I'm in trouble....

here's your periodic holiday reminder that FUCK THE SALVATION ARMY

they're a queer hate organization. don't fucking donate to them. only shoplift from their stores. tell their solicitors to eat rocks

Republicans have shown us what they want. They don't want democracy.

They want control over voters despite voters making their preferences known via votes. That’s dictatorship.

They don‘t want society to have a say. They want government officials installed rather than elected, by Republicans. No democracy-100% Republican rule.

I personally don’t think voters are going to sit it out and allow this.

IF CRUELTY IS THE POINT OF FASCISM, Americans have turned their bureaucracies into violent, cruelty machines.

it is going to take more than voting out the fascists.

the cruelty is social.

the cruelty is economic.

the cruelty is systemic.

the cruelty is cultural.

how do you radically change a culture to become antifascist?

how do you radically change the mundane so it wont produce and reproduce systemic violence?

that's the real antifa work: to break the cycle of MUNDANE cruelty. /4

I didn't grow up in Austin, but I got there as soon as I could. I kinda miss it, but most of my Austin is gone, dissapeared around 2010. There are still a few of my places around (Wally's Burger Express, Galaxy Cafe, Mangia) but not many.

I lived near downtown when I first moved there and was just a quick run to the capitol in Hyde Park, back when it was affordable to live there. Lots to do in that area. Still lots, but most of it now is overpriced, and lacking the culture that made me move there to begin with (I miss the Frisco Shop, Ken's Donuts and Mother's).

Missing home a lot these days. But even if I went back, I think I'd still miss the memory of home.

Dude. DUDE.

Thanksgiving, I turned my head wrong and "popped" my neck. Since then, I've had a slow pain in my pinched nerve that is slowly growing. Just as I'm getting to a point where I can sit down and write/draw/whatever, I'm hoping we're not looking at the nerve pinch coming back.

I have plenty of pain killers and am still doing the physical therapy, just at home on my own, so I'm hoping it'll go away pretty quick. But if I need an injection...I'm already fighting insurance for my first one, they're not going to allow a second one anytime soon.

Fingers crossed it just got aggravated and'll go away soon.
