1. I need a reality check, y'all.

I was talking about omegaverse fic with Dylan, and they said that omegaverse fic is harmful to intersex people. And I'm all, "In what way?" And they answered that it causes people to believe untrue things about being intersex and to ask intersex people rude questions. My response to that was, "Anybody who believes the story where people have self-lubricating assholes, smell like roses and petrichor, and pop knots on their dicks like wolves is a good representation of what being intersex is like is the kind of person who would ask rude questions about people's personal lives whether they'd ever read an omegaverse story or not." Dylan did the whole, "Well, I disagree," thing they do that drives me absolutely nuts.

So, am I off-base here? Is omegaverse fic really harmful to intersex people, or is this another way in which my child is terminally online? I am willing to accept the verdict of the hivemind.

2. PSA: Go to the fucking dentist, friends.

Like months ago, I bit into something, and I could tell that something went wonky with my tooth, but I ignored it. I hate going to the dentist. Ever since my autoimmune stuff got ramped up, it's like the anesthesia doesn't fully work, so it always hurts some during the drilling part (also, I think my dentist thinks I'm crazy because he's shot my mouth full of shit, so I shouldn't be feeling any pain, and yet I am, hurray!). I said to myself, "I'll see if they find anything at my regular cleaning and go from there."

Well, the tech did the x-rays, and the first thing she says to me is, "Are you having a problem with your tooth on the right side?"

Goddammit.

"Yes."

I schedule the root canal for two weeks out because it's not hurting yet, and I don't want to have to cancel class. By the beginning of the second week, I am in horrible pain. A couple of days before the procedure on Thursday, my cheek swelled up. I fucked around and found out, y'all. :(

Fortunately the root canal didn't hurt. I don't know if I was just already in such pain and everything was so inflamed that the pain didn't register or what, but I'm grateful for it. However, my face is still swollen and everything kind of hurts, and I'm worried that another tooth is messed up, too, or that my sinuses have somehow gotten infected. Bah. Everything was probably just so inflamed that it needs time to go down and heal, but I am so fucking done with this mess.

The moral of the story is go to the dentist, friends.

Hej
Alla ni underbara rebeller
Vi vill bjuda in er till att kolla in vad som händer i Repparfjorden just nu
För detta är ett historiskt ögonblick för motståndets historia i Sápmi
Nya Alta och Gállok?
Det är massa aktioner och blockades och coola saker som händer i området
För första gången använder renskötare i området civil olydnad för att försöka stoppa gruvarbetet
Vem vet vad som kommer att hända härnäst?
Sprid gärna till andra och hjälp till att mobilisera mer greatness till området
Äntligen en stund av uppror i Sápmi igen.
Njut!

Allmän information
Nussir-gruvprojektet i Riehpovuotna / Repparfjorden är ett koppargruveprojekt som har utvecklats i Sápmi sedan 2019. Den planerade gruvan ligger i ett biologiskt mångfaldsrikt område som också är viktiga betes- och flyttområden för renar och deras samiska renskötare. Utöver markintrånget planeras gruvavfallet att dumpas genom rör på fjordens botten, vilket skulle vara förödande för det marina livet. År 2021 uppnåddes en stor seger när gruvans utveckling stoppades, och projektet har varit fruset sedan dess, men nu har de säkrat finansiering för att återuppta byggandet. Samiska organisationer, NU och andra aktivister har tidigare i sommar etablerat ett motståndsläger nära gruvan och uppmanar nu fler aktivister att ansluta sig till kampen.

Action in Riehpovuotna (Repparfjorden)

Hello
All you wonderful rebels
We want to invite you to look into what is happening in Repparfjorden right now
Because this is a historic moment in the history of resistance in Sápmi.
The new Alta and Gállok?
There is a lot of actions and blockades and cool things happening
For the first time the reindeer herders in the area are using civil disobedience to stop the mining operations
Who knows what will happen next?
Please spread to others and help mobilizing more greatness to the area
Or why don’t you just go up there straight away?
Finally a moment of rebellion in Sápmi again.
Enjoy!

General info
The Nussir mining project in Riehpovuotna / Repparfjord is a copper mine project that is being developed in Sápmi since 2019. The planned mine is situated a biodiverse land that is substantial grazing and migration areas for reindeer and its Sámi herders. In addition to the land grab, the mining waste is planned to be dumped through pipes at the bottom of the fjord, which would be devastating for marine life. There was a big win to stop the development of the mine back in 2021, and it has been halted since, but they’ve now secured the funding to start construction again. Sámi orgs, NU and other activists have created a sustained resistance camp close to the mine earlier this summer and are now calling for activist to join the struggle.

Want to go?
If you want to join the camp, you can let NU know here

I hit Price Chopper and the Pharmacy while I was downtown and got in a walk around the park. I also went to the lab for blood work as I have an appointment with my PCP next week.

I did a load of laundry (washed, dried AND folded), hand-washed dishes, took Grant for a short walk, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, scooped kitty litter, paid some bills online, placed an online order, hard boiled some eggs, and showered.

I also went for a walk with Pip and the dogs when he got home. I'm trying to get more walks in because I've been slacking even though I haven't been spending entire days with mom. Today I managed just over a mile, so I'm hoping to increase that before winter hits and my walks also take a hit. o_O

We had BBQ chicken quarters for dinner! This time I picked them up. I made sure it was okay with Pip to have it again and he agreed. I like chicken and I'm happy to not have to cook, so win-win for me! *g*

I visited mom, read more in Hatshepsut, and watched some HGTV programs.

Temps started out at 48.9(F) and reached 82.3. It turned out so nice!! However, the TWC app is calling for ~80 today and tomorrow, then mid-70s for two days, then mid-60s for two days, then temps in the 70s, slowly moving from 71 to 78. Except for two days when the overnight low will reach 60, it will be ~50. I don’t like this. (TBF, I love the temps of fall, but not at the expense of summer, and also, I’m sorry fall, but you get a bad rap because you lead right into winter.)

Mom Update:

Mom did not feel well at all today. ( more back here, including the mention of vomiting, though no details )

Sort out my current papers/documents

Not the most exciting of Things, but still it needed doing. And I have done it. Very old documents have been shredded, having sorted out the few which might be worth keeping, and I do err on the side of caution. Quite old documents are in a folder so that next time I come to do this (probably in two-three years' time) they're easy to find. Middling old documents are in another folder, so accessible if I need to look back. Documents from the last two years are in a third folder. And this year's (only) are in my expandable file, which now has lots (and lots) of room for current filing. (Yes, I do it on a weekly basis, along with replying to the emails I've been ignoring.) So now, when I'm looking for something, I should be able to find it.

Hooray!
