My sense of smell has gotten a lot better in the last few years (don't ask me why, but probably NOT working in an office). That said, taking a walk around the neighborhood you know how the dogs must feel.

"Ah, Amazon driver with too much cologne passed here an hour ago. PU!"

"Hmm, looks like that teenager girl with way too much perfume walked this way"

"Oh, the neighbors took a shower about 10 minutes ago"

"A baby with a dirty diaper in a stroller passed this way 30 minutes ago... Don't the parents know?!"

i have had "hyperosmia" since my 3rd covid, summer '22. but for me it's also, like, dys-osmia? things smell very strong, plus all fucked up. when ppl start cooking, i hide from the odors.

New York Times article about a musician who has posted thousands and thousands of (ridiculous) random songs in an SEO bid to Spotify etc... which actually works that he makes a leaving from random streams of those random songs.

"Multnomah County, Portland present plan to halve unsheltered homelessness by 2026"

https://www.opb.org/article/2024/03/11/multnomah-county-portland-present-plan-to-halve-unsheltered-homelessness-by-2026/

I hope this program actually makes a difference. I don't know enough about the issues to understand why so many attempts have failed.

i echo the words of the ED doc. in primary care, i saw a lot of folks fall out of "normal life" & into car life, couch life, camp life, street life, esp after 2008. also, falling into the struggle for disability insurance coverage. many of them had formerly despised public poors, & were astonished at what happened next, to them.

"...We need to treat the humanitarian crisis of unsheltered homelessness like the emergency that it is"

    dear people who use screen readers,

    what happens when a post has a lot of hash-tagged terms in its body rather than after the post?

    it's tricky when one's instance limits the sizes of posts.
    (on the other hand, not every term is hash-worthy)

    @thepoliticalcat I've known a lot of people who've had gunshot wounds, and/or whose loved ones have. it's always always a long lasting trauma, even without death or significant disability, as we all know. ripple effects through community networks. they (likely) do not know what they do, i mean, how could they? unless it's a vendetta.

    As discussed earlier, I am currently translating some very antisemitic tales from German folklore in order to showcase the uglier strains of folk belief.

    The tales I am tackling first feature "host desecration" - i.e. alleged disrespect against blessed altar bread. The motivation of the Jewish characters in these tales do not make any sense at all - why would they bribe Christians to bring them some blessed hosts from the rite of Eucharist? Yet it was prevalent belief among Christians that Jews were very eager to do so just so that they could express their alleged hatred of Jesus Christ (and thus all Christians).

    one time after Mass the priest kept everyone back before leaving, to report an incident that happened at the cathedral.
    a scruffy guy sat in back, got in trouble for eating a banana during mass, was rude, etc.
    he went through the communion line like everyone else, taking the host in his hand like everyone else, then heading out the door.
    he was stopped by folks nearby & made to reveal he had put the host in his pocket. it was rescued & brought back to the altar.

    When you hear & his RW extremist governing coalition members in , talk about "the Palestinian question" - please do remind yourself that "the Jewish question" was the term used by the Nazis when they spoke about the Jewish people within Germany & under their control in the German-occupied territories, during the 1930s - World War II.

    If someone would start selling those nifty suffragette pantaloons you can bicycle in I bet they could sell a bunch.

    But every skirt in stores looks like a horrible tube that will rutch up on your tush as you walk like an handsy subway creeper; you try to walk in little tiny steps. Sitting without flashing? Some kind of mysterious party trick.

    Then there's a whole article in the fashion section hand wringing if skirts that aren't tight are "too conservative"

    If that bothers you? Pantaloon!

    "We're hoping that when it reaches Tacoma, the workers in Tacoma will not load that military cargo, that people of Tacoma will show up to protest this genocide & that workers around the world will continue to stop ships...We are simply trying to call for an immediate cease-fire & stop the aiding of the genocide of my people"

    I was just robbed for the first time in my life.

    Next to a grocery store, two young men asked me if I could change €20 for them. I rummaged in my wallet, and one of the guys distracted me by rummaging in his wallet and discussing what kind of change he needed.

    Then the other guy ripped all my banknotes out of my pocket, and they ran away. Since it was dark, I didn't notice any useful details. I reported this to the police, but don't expect to see those €300 again.

    I hate that we get medical test info before the doctor can interpret the results. It's unnecessary stress. ☹️

    @StillIRise1963
    i daresay 100% of clinicians agree.
    it's nice if important results are flagged in the doc's inbox, so we get to those first.
    unfortunately, many "abnormals" are insignificant, except in very rare cases, which are crazily overrepresented on medical (mis)information internet sites.
    hope you have a clinician who has TIME to explain what it means, what it doesn't mean, & what's the next step.
    sometimes there's no TIME, because the next guy's results were a lot worse than yours...
