The links in this post will almost invariably go to posts and comments that contain (or are right next to) a lot of ablism, cissexism, dismissal of peoples' disabilities, and general dismissal of social justice efforts. If you're feeling worn out by this conversation or unable to look at any more posts/comments of that nature, my recommendation is not to click. And not to read this post, perhaps. In addition to discussion of that stuff, this post also contains discussion of triggers for things like rape and violence. If you've run out of spoons for this debate, please scroll on by: I completely understand if you don't feel up to reading this. Especially as it's rather extravagantly tl;dr.

Helped four statues and a balloon clown move house yesterday!

It went pretty well - in spite of having to make two trips, the Uhaul got returned on time. And Ellie came by with the Subaru Wonder Wagon for physical assistance (being a person of greater upper body strength than, say, my puny self), transportation of items smaller than mattresses, and the driving from A to B of the five cats.

Injuries sustained by me: cardboard rash on my palms and the insides of my arms, two parallel paper cuts on my left wrist, at least three separate bruises on my left knee. And of course my muscles are Not Pleased, but that is why we have pain relievers. Oh, and we dropped a dry sink on my foot heading down the stairs at the old place. Thank god for my boots, because although it hurt at the time, there's no evidence of it today.

Then I went to work today! Only for the remaining few hours I could earn actual money for, but still. Ow to slinging boxes of documents and photos after that.

And tonight we had Cid and Jason over for dinner. Alfredo sauce, ravioli, olive oil and bread.
