Texted my sister to see how her neighbourhood was reacting to the verdict. She has no idea because she's been in the ER since last night - pneumonia. And I guarantee she's got long covid (based on her changed history the last 4 years).
I fucking hate everything right now.

Unsurprisingly did not sleep well last night.
Sister was finally moved out of the ER this morning away from the fights and body fluids and her text-tone-of-voice sounded much better than last night.

Papa, you are not allowed to be gone any more like you were yesterday, okay?

(Yes, this is a super super rare time when I post an image that actually has me in it.)

Fediverse, I need some help. I have a large collection of old Fisher Price Little People which need to go up on auction soon. There are LOTS of complete sets, some complete in box, lots of "peoples" (as we called them as kids) and lots of odds & ends, many rare.
I need help finding an auction house to take it on rather than having my relatives dump this on eBay or something else lot by small lot.
Please let me know if there's an auction house you know of that handles older toys.
Retoots welcome.

So, what's the thing, what's the big thing no one can help you with? How do you cope with it?

@enderFP@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr I have terminal cancer and I'm super lonely. I cope with it by snuggling with the dogs, but seems like that's not going to last much longer. I'm so damned tired.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

@RickiTarr I live in New Mexico and between the culture and the landscape, I feel like there's no better place to be. There's definitely issues - nowhere is perfect- but it just makes me happy to be here.

He would have been 15 yesterday. Didn't quite make it to 14. I wasn't ready even though I knew he was getting up there. He just didn't act like it. My puppy forever.

I love how Quark seems to sell food and drink in his bar except it is usually all replicated on a standard food replicator - the same type as dozens of others that are all over the station and are apparently free to use by anyone??

Curious to see how people interpret this pattern. Is the switch on or off?

Have you ever met someone who lies all the time, but doesn't seem to realize they are lying?

enderFP,
@enderFP@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr Two such people. The 1st ... just consistently redefines his reality. It's really quite stunning to listen to him tell about a shared experience - which never happened - and know that there is absolutely no point in telling him it's fiction.
The 2nd lied to herself so consistently that the effects were much, much more subtle and hard to winnow out until someone made her mad - and then you could watch the narrative shift to lies meant to protect her own ego.
Both were disorienting.

So for a bone scan, you get injected and then have to wait 3-4 hours before they can do the actual scan.
So.
That was super fun today.

What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

@RickiTarr I was the weird kid who bounced between most groups. I was a jock sophomore year, then joined drama. Was a nerd who was a "troublemaker" in the nerd classes. Tried my hand at rapping with the black guys I knew at lunch. Tried to be kind to everyone, interrupted bullying where I saw it (but I could be clueless at times and missed it). Talked to the janitors, hung out with teachers.
And was frequently bullied for refusing to conform to one box. Thank God there was no social media then.

@enderFP@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr By no means was I perfect and I'm not trying to say that at all.
But for the Dallas area in the 80s, I was definitely the oddball who just was comfortable being myself and tried to encourage everyone else to just be themselves, too.

If Humane didnโ€™t want bad reviews of their product then they shoulda improved their product before they released it. Thatโ€™s how this stuff works.

With all due respect, Denise didnโ€™t give the show long enough to turn Tasha into anything but a โ€œtoken blondeโ€. Yarโ€™s character showed promise but weโ€™ll never know what the writers could have done with her because she left. In the very first season. https://meta.masto.host/@GamingNews/112264913798622479

@gedeonm I dunno. The writers made a distinct mess that first season of a lot of things. I loved the show conceptually, but the writing and directing at times were just bad.

What is a little white lie you were told as a child, that you believed for too long?

I was way too old when I figured out a human couldn't actually get sucked down a drain or flushed down a toliet. I used to cling to my little brothers, and pull them out of the bath any time my Mum would pull to plug.

@RickiTarr I discovered a headshot of Agnes Moorehead in my grandmother's stack of magazines when I was about 10. I was flabbergasted to see this picture of "Endora"!!! When I asked Grandma about it, she replied that she and Agnes had gone to high school together and spun some kind of yarn around it.
It wasn't until the internet that I discovered they had never even lived in the same town, much less gone to the same high school.
Grandma did love her jokes on the gullible.
