I think Chadwick Boseman’s death should be a lesson not to judge marginalized people who choose to conceal a health issue…

But Lloyd Austin hid two surgeries and only after being missing for a few days during his second procedure did anyone find out.

Plus the 911 call saying they’re keeping it quiet was sketchy.

I just don’t feel like he fully acknowledged the breach of trust, and his responsibility to ensure his temp replacement had some clue that they were in charge.

But that might be me missing something or not fully acknowledging that first point I brought up.

spiegelmama,

@Laukidh I don't really blame military brass trying to avoid personnel issues right now, with Republicans trying to destroy anything they might be able to. That was definitely my first thought: keep Congress out of things.

    spiegelmama,

    @0x00string @alex_02 I don't think I've mentioned here that I was in drum and bugle corps for years. We learned all the things.

    spiegelmama,

    @0x00string @alex_02 Well, I would have called it some kind of springy drum, like a bongo, but apparently there aren't any musicians credited on the track? So unless M.I.A. is playing the bongos here, it's probably a drum sample - manipulated, but not wholly artificial.

    spiegelmama,

    @0x00string @alex_02 Yes, sorry you got stuck in the corner of the party with us, Alex! Anyway, go get a bongo and experiment with tuning and touches. Try to play it like you're making a raindrop noise on your cheek, right?

    @0x00string Stupid lying brain.

    I will say, do not underestimate how much mental energy that healing takes up. It may affect your performance elsewhere temporarily, or affect your ability to believe in your performance. It's normal and natural. Try to ride it out, and maybe enjoy being a himbo for a minute.

    My crows are outside yelling for more snacks. Guess I'll get rid of those slivered almonds - hope the crows are OK with that.

    What happened to pastebin.com ? It has been down for the past 12 hours.

    :blobcatpeekaboo:​

    spiegelmama,

    @adulau Interesting! It's still down. No idea why. https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/pastebin.com.html

    I'm finally getting into my first edit of my novel, and I'm pleased with a lot of it so far. I definitely need to insert some things, and clean other parts up, but I like the writing and enjoy the characters. Phew.

    spiegelmama, to rainbow

    What's that atmosphere phenomenon where bits of rainbow appear in clouds? That happened the other day while I was hanging out with my yard friends.

    Hahaha, no. I'm not going to attempt to address my potential risk for heart attack by filling my veins with bacon fat.

    spiegelmama,

    @anathema_device Like, I'm willing to change my mind on what a heart-healthy diet is, but Paleo has a lot of ground to make up with me. (And even if it proved to be more heart-healthy than, say, plant-based or Mediterranean, I doubt I'd start eating meat.)

    spiegelmama,

    @anathema_device The good thing is that this is no emergency - because I'm vegetarian (or that's how I ascribe things), my bloodwork is pristine. My blood pressure has been high, probably due to a medication, but otherwise I'm doing well cardiovascularly.

    This is what I'm up against in the mornings.

    spiegelmama,

    @melissabeartrix Oh no, what a mess!

    spiegelmama,

    @melissabeartrix Oh, phew, as long as it was a planned spill. 😅

    spiegelmama, to catloaf

    My kid texted me to come watch "loaf content" - what he meant was a YouTuber whose cat is named Loaf, but I came into the room and saw this little #catloaf . #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #Caturday #Nibbler

    Hard part of the day is done. Managed a standby on an earlier flight. Had a good brunch. Knife fighting later. Pretty good day, so far!

    spiegelmama,

    @hacks4pancakes I would probably enjoy my knife fights more if they were scheduled rather than improvised. Have fun!

    spiegelmama,

    @hacks4pancakes True! Gotta think on your feet.

    Can you imagine how Gary Hart, who lost his entire political career due to a consensual affair with an adult, must feel watching a rapist conman becoming the presumptive nominee for president? (Not that we haven't had rapists and conmen as president before, but this is on the record.)

    spiegelmama, to random

    Hmm, I thought I got this from mastodon, but I must have gotten it from Tumblr.

    spiegelmama,

    @simonzerafa That's what they WANT you to do. You played right into Big Imagebox's hands.

    spiegelmama, to animals

    They're awfully cute sometimes. The Lady Catherine actually jumped up onto the bed to snuggle with Nibbler - he must be so happy. #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #Nibbler #TheLadyCatherine

    spiegelmama,

    @IzabelaKaramia Awwww. Thank you. How are you and Ginza on this fine Caturday?
