Good Things Friday (189) and Link Love

October 7, 2022

1. PiC’s bike had a flat (boo) but I remembered that I had run across an old REI gift card circa 2018 when I was working on some other chores. It covered the two inner tubes with 89 cents to spare. Since gift cards don’t expire, back into the bin it goes until the next REI adventure calls!

2. I’ve balanced our planned income and expenses for the rest of the year. I just need to adjust one rough spot where we’ll be short $700, briefly. It may be a matter of timing of debits and credits but we’ll see. Fingers crossed!

3. Our 2023 spreadsheet is set up and ready to go when January rolls around. There is something deeply satisfying about having a fresh spreadsheet waiting to be populated. At least for something I enjoy populating.

4. I took some notes from this chili recipe, and a couple on the fly liberties, to modify my current favorite chili recipe: omit water entirely, use baking soda with the beef, spice the cooking ground meat first before adding the liquidy ingredients and it produced quite a tasty chili. I had every intention of saving half to freeze but the family ate it all by Day 2.

Stories like these are why I’m nervous about PiC and Smol bike commuting. So many drivers are reckless and assholes here.

I had hidden my physical limitations for so many years, and been treated terribly by certain relatives when I did share some of my reality, that when I was visibly impaired with my first pregnancy and thoughtful friends asked me if I needed to sit and rest, I was completely taken aback. I didn’t know how to process even the slightest indication of being cared about by people who weren’t my husband: How to Invite a Disabled Friend Over.

Performative, indeed. I always wanted to fly first class internationally once, for the food and luxury of sleeping in less contorted positions, but this article makes it seem even more ridiculous: The airline industry is in trouble. Is bottomless caviar the answer? I would still like to travel in better than economy class next time we have to travel, though. Anything to take the edge off traveling with young KIDS.

Let’s talk about this.

No really, let’s do that.

Because almost every time an anti-Trans healthcare bill is put out…they always make sure that we in the intersex community are covered.

In the worst possible ways.

So let’s *talk* about my experience. https://t.co/O6IH4JJ5Q2
