I left my mind behind in 2015
Today was the yahrzeit of the molasses flood. I was last at Langone Park for the centenary, since which time the field has been renovated and a new marker erected in memory of the disaster and its dead. Seven years ago feels nearly a century itself.
Speaking of man-made needless awfulness, I have been made aware of the locally vetted aggregate of Stand with Minnesota, a directory of mutual aid, fundraisers, and on-the-ground support against the onslaught of ICE. All could use donations, since internet hugs are of limited efficacy against tear gas, batons, bullets to the face and legs. Twenty-three years ago feels like several worldlines back, but the Department of Homeland Security sounded absurdly, arrogantly dystopian then.
The fourth and last of this week's doctors' appointments concluded with an inhaler and instructions to sleep as much as possible. My ability to watch movies remains on some kind of mental fritz which upsets me, but I liked running across these poems.

(Re. the movie thing, with the big caveat that obv. you have very particular issues and not to be annoying etc., but if it does help at all, I have found, for myself, and others I've known, it does seem to be a relatively normal thing to happen even in milder states of exhaustion and stress than you are currently suffering, that the ability to take in media-for-pleasure will stop or only work for very particular types, or media. So, here's hoping something gives for you medically or at least sleep-wise SOON - and that will should return of its own accord. I am so sorry, though! I know it's especially rotten for you, and with the reviews as well, too. And just when nice distractions are most needed!! *thedreadeduselessinternethugssorry*)

You're welcome!

It is not unhelpful to know that, thank you. It still sucks, but it feels less like an idiopathic deterioration of the brain.
