@NoeValleySF Oh! This is so exciting! I'd heard rumors, but this is the first solid news I'd seen. So happy!

Thinking about a string of thoughts as a string of beads today.

I didn't get around to posting yesterday's drawing here, but it's on my Patreon and Ko-fi:

Drawing a squiggly wiggly imaginary creature for today's drawing.

I managed to finish it just before my first at-home blood-draw visit, which was quick and easy. He was wearing a mask, which put me at ease right away.

Here's an in-progress shot.

The ants are feeling artsy in today's #inkyDays drawing.

I'm feeling artsy too.

Absolutely loved the Kusama rooms at SFMOMA today, and managed a selfie of sorts. So glad the timing worked out.

Walking around looking at art was a lot more fun than my usual recovery walks. Now I'm exhausted.

Worth it!

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

I couldn't resist playing with patterns of that room.

Not too bad for a first try, but not too good either. I may play with it more, when I'm more rested.

@artcollisions It was totally worth the trek downtown.

@drj happy coincidence? Still great :)

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

Yesterday, I made the trek downtown to the SFMOMA to see the Kusama installation. I wasn't sure if the timing would work out, since I wasn't sure if I'd be recovered enough to walk around a museum before the show closed.

I loved it! Totally exhausted me, but it was worth it!

The shapes and colors in one of the rooms got right into my imagination, and I've been playing with the shapes in my own drawings.

What is the more general discussion, like outside of Mastodon, about Microsoft Recall travesty?

I recognize that who and what I read is heavily influenced by data-safety-ethics-rights and so on.

Are average computer users aware of the dangers?

As a recovering Cancer patient, having Microsoft track my interactions with my doctors....ummm..NO!!!!!!

It's going to be hard enough to get my insurance to actually cover my care without that.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

By the way, my family's monthly health insurance payment is around $3,500 an month. And our deductible is what? Twice that? I need to double check that.

But it's insane. Even with Obamacare, it's still insane.

And the insurance company gets to override what my doctors say should be part of my recovery care.

@TomLarrow I'm thinking I really need to switch back to Ubuntu again. Ugh.

I was on linux for years, and then had to learn how to get my work done on Windows for work. That made a lot of stuff a lot easier. But...ugh.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

@TomLarrow Oh my god! So much this!

I just want to go about my life, and do my work, and not be harvested by some greedy tech-co.

It's so very colonial, abusive, so many things that are not good at all.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

Um, so, as a part of today's insurance controlled health care...I've had life saving procedures declined by my insurance, including the initial colonoscopy that should have been covered by rote just because of my age let alone my symptoms that indicated a tumor.

In addition to focusing on my path to recovery, I and my family have to start the battle with our insurance company.

We're already planning on how to deal with what we expect to be our deductible around $7-8k. Just to keep me alive.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

I'm fortunate, that we can deal with this.

But I'm motivated to find out how to eliminate this for others. We need actual universal healthcare, that is not tied to employers.

We need this now!

My child is trying out for a thing and I find myself overly emotionally invested in the outcome 😭 can’t wait for the college process

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

@gretared for the college thing, it's super important to have ranked choices and expect to get into your 3rd choice, which is still super great. So maybe top choices are stretches, and have a few great realistic picks, and then safeties.

Happy to pep talk over meal, any time.

After three days of various medical appointments, including an at-home-blood-draw, I'm seriously looking forward to tomorrow.

I get to go visit the Yayoi Kusama installation at SFMOMA, and lunch, and more art....more and more art! Yes!

Y'all, I'm either too tired/overwhelmed to converse or too cranky and afraid of pissing everyone off, so, it's a lot of radio silence here lately.

@Gargron It's beautiful from every angle.

I once had a teacher make us all walk across the bridge. It was gorgeous, but terrifying. But beautiful.

"When I heard the released demo, I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference...Mr. Altman even insinuated that the similarity was intentional, tweeting a single word 'her' - a reference to the film in which I voiced a chat system, Samantha, who forms an intimate relationship with a human."

@DAIR these dudes have such a huge problem with consent, and violation of agency.
