[roaringheat]

I've been having a really hard time lately cause ive been feeling like i'm not wanted or cared about by the ppl around me and it hit me especially hard at work so I took some time after my shift to destress by walking around the shopping center i'm in. I ended up having 2 separate long ass convos with these total strangers, one at a GameStop and one at a pet store and both explicitly told me how much they enjoyed the conversation and that they wanted to see me again. Man....there really is some real shit behind the whole go out and talk to strangers thing

Difficult Times for Flight Attendants (NYT) One flight attendant needed medical attention for a crippling migraine brought on by confronting a passenger who refused to wear a mask. Aviation safety officials have received dozens of confidential complaints in the past year from attendants trying to enforce mask safety rules. The reports, filed in the Aviation Safety Reporting System database, at times describe a chaotic, unhinged workplace where passengers regularly abuse airline employees. The coronavirus pandemic and political divisions of the past year have caused fear, economic pain, and social and family rifts around the country, but for airline workers, and flight attendants in particular, the unease and tension have often converged in a tiny cabin space. The tension is at a level flight attendants have not seen before, said Paul Hartshorn Jr., a veteran attendant and a spokesman for the Association of Professional Flight Attendants union. “I think we’re pretty well trained on how to handle a disruptive passenger,” said Mr. Hartshorn, 46. “What we’re not trained to do and what we shouldn’t be dealing with is large groups of passengers inciting a riot with another group of passengers [over political differences].” “It’s insane,” he added.

Fight The Man: What GameStop’s surge says about online mobs (AP) It’s a fable for our times: Small-time investors band together to take down greedy Wall Street hedge funds using the stock of a troubled video-game store. But the revolt of online stock-traders suggests much more. The internet is shifting society’s balance of power in unanticipated ways. In the world of pseudonymous internet message boards, pranks-gone-wild and logic turned upside down amid a global pandemic, revolts come in all shapes, sizes and aims. Last week they gave us the Great GameStop Stock Uprising. Who knows what this week will bring. “The internet can democratize access, upsetting power dynamics between the people and traditional institutions,” tweeted Tiffany C. Li, a law professor and tech attorney focusing on privacy and technology platform governance. With GameStop, she added in an interview Friday, the goal was to upset the interests of a few large hedge funds. “But in other places the goal can be more nefarious. Online spaces are being used to radicalize people toward extremism, to plan hate crimes and attacks,” she said. “The internet isn’t really the villain or the hero.”

Pandemic Pushes More Parents to Go All-In for Home Schooling (WSJ) As parents grow increasingly frustrated with remote learning during the pandemic, some are deciding to pull their children out of school and try teaching on their own. In North Carolina, the state’s home-school monitoring website crashed on the first day of enrollment, and more than 18,800 families filed to operate a home-school from July 1 to Jan. 22—more than double the school-year before, according to the state Division of Non-Public Education. In Connecticut, the number of students who left public schools to be home-schooled jumped fivefold this school year, to 3,500. In Nebraska, the number of home-schooled students jumped 56%, to 13,426, according to state education officials. “The vast majority [of parents] are saying, ‘We’ve been really trying to do what the schools are asking us to do, but we just can’t do this anymore,’ “ said J. Allen Weston, executive director of the National Home School Association, which has been fielding inquiries on the topic. Vanderbilt University’s Joseph Murphy, who studies home schooling, said “We are in a major shift from how we thought about teaching children and running schools for 100 years. Parents have shifted to the place where they feel they need more direct involvement and greater responsibility for what happens with their children.”

Vaccine skepticism lurks in town famous for syphilis study (AP) Lucenia Dunn spent the early days of the coronavirus pandemic encouraging people to wear masks and keep a safe distance from each other in Tuskegee, a mostly Black city where the government once used unsuspecting African American men as guinea pigs in a study of a sexually transmitted disease. Now, the onetime mayor of the town immortalized as the home of the infamous “Tuskegee syphilis study” is wary of getting inoculated against COVID-19. Among other things, she’s suspicious of the government promoting a vaccine that was developed in record time when it can’t seem to conduct adequate virus testing or consistently provide quality rural health care. “I’m not doing this vaccine right now. That doesn’t mean I’m never going to do it. But I know enough to withhold getting it until we see all that is involved,” said Dunn, who is Black. The coronavirus immunization campaign is off to a shaky start in Tuskegee and other parts of Macon County. Area leaders point to a resistance among residents spurred by a distrust of government promises and decades of failed health programs. Tuskegee is not a complete outlier. A recent survey conducted by the communications firm Edelman revealed that as of November, only 59% of people in the U.S. were willing to get vaccinated within a year with just 33% happy to do so as soon as possible. Health experts have stressed both the vaccines’ safety and efficacy.

As Biden prays for healing, Catholics clash over president’s faith (GMA) On his quest to heal a divided America, Joe Biden may first have to confront bitter division over his presidency from within his own church. Since his inauguration two weeks ago as the nation’s second Catholic president, Biden’s devout Christian faith has become a new flashpoint within the church. While millions of Catholics have celebrated the ascension of one of their own to the White House, some have been publicly questioning whether Biden should be considered a model of their faith. Many Catholic clergy and faithful are passionately fixated on Biden’s support for abortion rights, which the church staunchly opposes and considers an issue of “preeminent” importance. Biden opposes abortion as a personal matter, but wrote in his 2007 memoir that he doesn’t “have a right to impose my view on the rest of society.” One in five Americans identifies as Roman Catholic, the largest Christian denomination in the U.S., according to Pew Research Center. While the faithful have long been divided in matters of theology and politics, Catholic values aren’t exclusively red or blue.

Russia Protesters Defy Vast Police Operation as Signs of Kremlin Anxiety Mount (NYT) The Kremlin mounted Russia’s most fearsome nationwide police operation in recent memory on Sunday, seeking to overwhelm a protest movement backing the jailed opposition leader Aleksei A. Navalny that swept across the country for a second weekend in a row. But the show of force—including closed subway stations, thousands of arrests and often brutal tactics—failed to smother the unrest. By late Sunday evening in Moscow, more than 5,000 people had been detained in at least 85 cities across Russia, an activist group reported, though many were later released. Previously unseen numbers of riot police officers in black helmets, camouflage and body armor essentially locked down the center of the metropolis of 13 million people, stopping passers-by miles from the protest to check their documents and ask what they were doing outside. “I don’t understand what they’re afraid of,” a protester named Anastasia Kuzmina, a 25-year-old account manager at an advertising agency, said of the police. Referring to the peak year of Stalin’s mass repression, she added, “It’s like we’re slipping into 1937.” The large-scale police response signaled anxiety in the Kremlin over Mr. Navalny’s ability to unite Russia’s disparate critics of President Vladimir V. Putin, from nationalists to liberals to many with no particular ideology at all.

In Myanmar coup, Suu Kyi’s ouster heralds return to military rule (Washington Post) Aung San Suu Kyi defended Myanmar’s generals against genocide charges at The Hague. She praised soldiers as they unleashed artillery against ethnic minority settlements. She took only modest steps toward democratic changes that would chip away at the army’s political power. It wasn’t enough. On Monday, Myanmar’s military seized power in a coup, detaining Suu Kyi, elected ministers from her National League for Democracy (NLD) party and others in a predawn raid. Though condemned internationally for defending the military and its campaign against the Rohingya minority, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate who spent 15 years under house arrest until 2010 now finds herself again at the generals’ mercy. The coup underscored the fragility of Myanmar’s decade-old, quasi-democratic transition that many assumed, despite imperfections, would continue with Suu Kyi as head of the civilian government and still-entrenched powers for the military, led by Min Aung Hlaing. But the military was never comfortable with its enduring unpopularity and Suu Kyi’s godlike status among ordinary Burmese, analysts said, despite its role in engineering the country’s opening after half a century of isolationist rule.

Survivors of Beirut’s explosion endure psychological scars (AP) Joana Dagher lay unconscious and hemorrhaging under a pile of rubble in her apartment after the massive Beirut port blast in August, on the brink of death. She survived because of the courage of her husband who got her out, the kindness of a stranger who transported her in his damaged car and the help of her sisters during the chaos at the overwhelmed hospital. But Dagher doesn’t remember any of that: The 33-year-old mother of two lost her memory for two full months from the trauma she suffered in the explosion, including a cerebral contusion and brain lesions. “I lost my life on August 4,” Dagher said. “I lost my house, I lost my memory, I lost two friends,” she added, referring to neighbors killed in the explosion. “I lost my mental health, and so I lost everything.”       The Beirut explosion, which killed more than 200 people and injured more than 6,000, caused wounds on an even wider scale on the mental health of those who lived through it. Even in a country that has seen many wars and bombings, never had so many people—tens of thousands—directly experienced the same traumatizing event at the same time. It came on top of the stress that Lebanese were already feeling from multiple crises, including an unprecedented economic meltdown, the coronavirus pandemic and a feeling of helplessness after nationwide protests against corruption that failed to achieve their goals. “There are very high levels of anxiety and worry across the population,” said Mia Atwi, psychologist and president of Embrace, an organization working on mental health awareness and support. “There is a low mood bordering on clinical depression for the majority of the population.”

Daddy is a sneaky boy !!

(Super long post, feel free to scroll past)

So as y'all know, Daddy and I have been having trouble finding weed in our new town. He p much had to take the first crappy job he was offered here, and his coworkers there are all fuddy duddies (in general, not just cuz they don't toke) so still no connects almost 2 months into the year.

Now what some of y'all may not be aware of is the fact that it is now legal in all 50 states for smoke/CBD shops to sell hemp flower. It has to be 5% THC or lower, but the CBD can be quite significant in it. Well Daddy wandered into a smoke shop next to GameStop when he went to get us something a couple weeks ago and found this out. So he came home and surprised me with some that day!

Another thing we've had recently is this dry smoking herb mix. Stuff like skullcap, flower petals, etc etc. A lot of it helped a little with pain and tummy problems, but we were both still struggling a lot with sleep and the harsher stuff. Combining it with the hemp was actually super good for our aches and pains, plus our sleeping troubles as well. The hemp doesn't really get us high (obvs) but it smells and tastes like weed so it was an awesome discovery to find that stuff so close to home.

Now Daddy wound up having to get a second job, since his managers/"corporate" at his first one are dicks and won't give him more than like 20 hrs a week. Fuckin lame. But the people at his second job are a lot younger (mostly in their 20s like us) and a lot more fun. Unfortunately Daddy is now working 40+ hrs a week at two jobs and is constantly exhausted and grumpy. It bums me out to see him doing so much for so little reward but I digress. Things will pick up in time.

Anyhoo! Daddy comes home last night, late af (something else I loathe about his new job) and I go to greet him. He seems surprisingly chipper so I ask him what's up. "I got to work with a bunch of stoners today" was his response. He told me about some of his coworkers and even his supervisor and we were both like "hell yes, potential plugs." So we have dinner, I take the dishes back to the kitchen while he loads a bowl of underwhelming (but still physically helpful) hemp.

I get back and before I hit I ask if it's just hemp or if it's a blend with herb, since I don't wanna hit the latter so hard. He says there's no herb so I go to town. Now, I don't remember this cuz I was invested in what we were watching at the time, but apparently I coughed pretty hard at one point. Nbd, not like it's gonna make me much higher on 3% THC. Meh, whatevs.

We finish our not super big bowl (gotta conserve that shit cuz we broke) and a few minutes later he asks how I feel. I check in with myself, I reply that I feel fine, noting that my body temp is kinda all over the place. (This is "normal" for me considering I have hypertension, so 9/10 times after we eat dinner my hands and sometimes feet will get vvv warm and red for a few mins. I'm working on it, trying to cut a lot of salt and such.) I ask if he feels alright, thinking he might be kinda cold, and then I go on this random, rambling tangent about my fluctuating body temp. I pause after and think to myself "that was such a weird thing to go off about but whatevs I'm probs just tired."

About 10 mins later I catch myself looking at the comments of this YouTube video we're watching. This is something I never, ever do, cuz everyone knows YT comment sections are where humor goes to die, be poorly resurrected, and die all over again. I put my phone down and kinda chuckle at myself in a "what did I expect" kinda way. Daddy asks again how I'm feeling. I'm a bit confused.

I look at him and this fool is grinning ear to ear. I check in again and I'm like hey now.

I ask him "Is this real fuckin weed??" and he just smiles bigger. Turns out his new job is good for something lmfao. Also turns out hitting weed like you would low THC hemp is p fun. I slept like a log last night, for the first time in weeks. It was amazing.

So that's how Daddy surprised me with one of my fave gifts during a time that super sucks. I love him so much, not just for his resourcefulness, but also cuz he really does work to do things like this for me. Surprise me, get me the things I want to cheer me up, and have fun with it too. He really is such an amazing Daddy. ❤️

Day 99

Trying something new cause I expect today to be busy, so I’m gonna type my day out as it goes whenever I have free time. Woke up at 7 and could not go back to sleep so I kept my eyes closed until like 750 and got up. I soaked my shower grommets in white vinegar overnight to get the rust off so I wiped them and put it away, put my bed sheets in the laundry, got my shower stuff out of the dryer, put away all my internet and router stuff away from the balcony, and packed a little bit more in my room so that pretty everything was good to go. I still had plenty of time before Reflections opened so I went to my parents to give them their router back and have my mom hold on to my tax documents. While there I got my nanoleaf stuff, hot water steamer, and Panic vinyl I ordered awhile back. Pretty much was trying to figure out my couch situation but seems like I’ll get that done later. Left my parents around 920 and now I’m just at my apartment after putting my bed stuff in the dryer. It’s 943 right now and prolly gonna leave here at 10 to see if I can go in right when they open even tho my scheduled time is 11.

Left actually around 955 and had to wait a bit outside cause the door was locked. Went in as soon as someone unlocked it and got my keys and paid my prorated rent and stuff. Went to my appt and put all my bathroom stuff plus all the shit I bought yesterday. Setup my bathroom and kitchen stuff and then I was waiting a bit for the technician around 11:30 when he was supposed to be here but he was still at the home base so I decided to go back to my apartment and get all my clothes box. Did that and he called that he was there when I was like 3 mins away so that worked out. Pretty much put all my clothes up and then he was actually done pretty quick like 30 mins later. That’s even after asking him to have it setup in the living room instead of the bedroom so that was cool. I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to leave to get more stuff while he was there so it was good it didn’t take him long. I setup my custom wifi stuff and then went back to get the last 3 boxes at my apartment. That was just my shoes, and other closet stuff and I also brought my 3 layer cabinet thing that I kept my cpu stuff in. Went back and brought everything in and put up all my apple boxes in my closet and shoes. It’s 145 right now and I’m chillin’ waiting for Brandon to get here (he literally called me like 10 mins ago) and then we’re gonna head to my parents/Steve to start on the big stuff.

Brandon arrived maybe around 2 and then we headed to my moms. Introduced Brandon to her and then Steve texted me he was gonna be a little late so we moved the white couch out of my moms cause why not. Took it to my apartment and then went back to moms but also made a quick stop at Taco Bell cause Brandon was hungry. I got a potato soft taco cause they’re back and needed a little snack. We got back to my parents as soon as Steve arrived so we quickly ate and then went to OfferUp lady’s house. Got a free brown couch and then we stopped by my old apartment and picked up my bed. It started drizzling around this time so we went back to my new apartment and then brought everything in. Steve left and Brandon helped get things settled and then we were just chillin’ for a bit. Stephanie headed over to come see and we played a round of uno. We all left afterwards and I went back to my old apartment to get the rest of my clothes. Brought it back along with some of my bottled waters and fabric freshener and went back. Put a bed sheet that got dirty in the washer and then showered. It is 6 PM now and I’m currently chillin’ waiting for Madison to come over cause me, her and Hannah are about to get ALYC sushi

Alright last part and I’m so tired. Madison came over and then Hannah shortly after and we went to Sakura. It was a 30 min “OR MORE” wait so we killed time at Walmart. I ended up buying a whisk and a bottle of CFA sauce cause why not. After that we stopped by GameStop and then we went back to check. As soon as I was about to approach the lady they called me and we made eye contact and got it. Waited a little while for it to get served but I got a seaweed salad, golden lobster roll, spicy girl roll, pork katsu with shrimp fried rice, 2 shrimp tempura side dishes (Madison at 2 of the 6), miso soup, and beef fried rice along with a Kirin ichiban which was a beer. Of course I didn’t order all at once but shit I’m so full. After that we went back to my place, chilled for a bit cause we were all so full, and then we all split. Went back to my apartment to get mainly my lamp, but I got a few other things and then went home. Got my bed made and everything pretty Gucci and now it’s 1136 and phew what a day

[365day2021]

Day 303

Got to work at 935 and the download was ROUGH. Manager Zack started it off with providing resources to cope and then the last half was letting others speak of favorite memories or stories about Brandon. About like 3 or 4 people spoke and I teared up as it kept going on so it was rough. But I started the shift on iPhone Repair and thankfully wasn’t that bad. But it kinda just went downhill from there. After my 15 which I spent a good minute outside I was on GBFS. The reason for that was closing queues so that way we were only accepting a few walk-ins and not all day to help and I took honestly 2 appts and my mind was just not really in it. I tried to have emotions which I definitely did but my heart really wasn’t there. The first one was a VPN issue and the second one was an old lady needing a software update for glitches and I could feel my patience wearing thin. So yeah I had another customer who kept insisting Apple Support sent him here to get a replacement phone cause his device wasn’t working and I thought he didn’t have an appt and it was a 4 and a half hour wait so we went back and forth and in the end he actually ended up having one which Ollie took from me. But I just chilled for a bit before my lunch which I went with Adam. we went to offsite break room first to get his walllet and then went to las palmas. I got 2 beef tacos and that’s it with some chips. We just sat and talked about random shit and then we left for back to break room so he could drop it back off. I went to use bathroom nearby and then met with him at FYE and then we went to gamestop and then back to the store. At that point I signed up to see the counselor that was helping anybody. I didn’t get to see her for a bit cause Johnny was still waiting but I didn’t wait too long. I was helping iPhone repair for a tiny bit (Adrian with a late start time on a XS max battery) and then I went to talk with Counselor Nicole. I’m not gonna go too in depth on what we talked about, but main thing is that I need to get out of my head and allow the grieving process to do it’s thing. I need to be more from the heart and stop having anxiety and stuff so yeah. Afterwards I just talked with Ethan and took a minute before leaving early. I called Madison to check in on her and then I went home. I got ready for gym and met up with BZimm at 330. we did a short 4 chest workout and then massage and then I went to Zaque’s to buy some weed. I got 2 g’s and I took a hit of his bong and then I went to pickup Madison and then Olivia. We went back to my place so I could rinse off and change and then we met up with Ethan at Tealux. I got an islander fruit tea and chilled. After we went to bangkok thai that was like .3 miles away and ate. I got a thai tea, we split 4 spring rolls and I got as usual pad see iw. We did that until splitting ways (had to drop Ethan back at his car at Tealux and also had to stop by his place so Madison could get her mask that Ethan 3D printed) and then I dropped the 2 off.

I chilled at home for a little bit until Rayvn hit me up and was ready to hang at around 908. During dinner Josh and Jonita and Arielle kept trying to get me to go to this brewery called The Veil so I offered to bring Rayvn there and hang out. So yeah I picked her up and then we headed there. we literally only got one drink (this berry mango thing) and then we left after like 20 mins. It was them 3 and Lloyd and Monika and their next stop was Grain so we went there too. They ubered to Veil so they walked/lime scootered there and since I drove we got there first. There was a line so we waited for a bit but then got in. It was pumpin’ so we grabbed our first drinks and then just hung out and waited for them to come. Once they did the drinking ensued. I had like maybe 4 drinks including the 1st one and like 2 shots within an hour and a half - 2 hours. I was pretty damn tipsy but Rayvn and I took pictures in a photo booth and we danced and it was a great time. We stayed until like 130ish when they ordered lyfts/ubers back home and then we left. We got to the car and I had to wait a little bit to sober up. Rayvn really had to pee so I decided to drive home but got stuck in the garage and finally found a way out. Once we were on the road though she REALLY had to go so we pulled over and both peed back in the hotel. We then went home after and got home around 230. It’s 430am rn and she’s currently sleeping in my bed. We chatted for literally 2 hours about random shit and now she’s knocked and I should sleep too
