So I need to make more space and lose more of my own living space to move the AC so that the temp differential doesn't kill the TV that I can not afford to replace.

I needed to get spoons to get up and do this, as I am bed-bound.

My 11 yro is angry that I am not doing what he wants, and would not let me do what I needed to get spoons, he stole my spons.

And now he is livid at me, because I have less spoons than I started the day with, I can't do now, hell I can't even eat now.

And he is screaming at me blaming me for not doing what needed to be done so he could get what he wanted in the first place.

I am so exhausted and overheating with my meds; if I overheat, bad things happen.

And he just doesn't get it.

As far as he is concerned, it's all my fault that his day and plans, which he never shared, to begin with, are ruined.

I can see why Israel rejected the final offer. The release of murderers from prison and the consequent solidification of Hamas's leadership are bad enough, but since when is the winning side in a defensive war expected to pay reparations to rebuild the aggressor without even a regime change? Imagine if WWII had ended with the Allies pouring all that money into Berlin without any alliance and propping up Donitz as Fuehrer.

This is all especially disturbing, when you consider that literally the only consideration offered by Hamas was the release of civilian hostages seized in peacetime. No reparations to the hostages or to the families of the civilians murdered on October 7th, no dismantling of military infrastructure--not even a commitment for Hamas to cease its own military operations (missile attacks on civilian populations) while Israel withdraws. All they're prepared to commit to is to stop holding some of their kidnapping victims. That's one helluva ransom demand.

This is what it is like to be a Jewish student right now.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s Little-Known Original Drawings for the First Edition of “The Hobbit” By Maria Popova

"...People have celebrated Tolkien as a writer for years — you haven’t been able to get away from him since all the books of the century polls. But The Lord of the Rings has always been the focus since it was published in 1954 — it’s a much more grown-up, significant book. It has overshadowed The Hobbit as a more old-fashioned, children’s book, which has become known in the context of The Lord of the Rings. The anniversary allows us to move the spotlight back on to the book which started it all.

A rare piece of cross-disciplinary creativity from the mind of one of modern history’s greatest creators, The Art of the Hobbit is equal parts literary treasure and treat of art, exploring the notion of the author as designer — a particularly timely concept in the age of self-publishing and disciplinary cross-pollination in the making of books..."

So, yeah... a few people in my PTSD support group called me out for my overaction to other people's antisemitism in the group.

Telling someone that they are overreacting to someone abusing them is worse than blatant antisemitism. It enables the abuser.

FUCK THAT NOISE.

Ok, little children, you want BDS. That means YOU need to give up your computers [apple and PC], video game consoles, ALL tech devices, the internet, your TVs, your phones, and even your robot vacuums and other appliances.

You need to stop using it all. It's Israeli tech with Israel development on a lot of components.

Get ready for a very boring life, children.
