they did test for meth and for mdma and i'm negative for both, at least right now.

they did not test for steroids or for viagra, or for psilocybin, which i may have also been drugged with.

steroid tests are not covered by ohip. it's about $100. i'll have to see if i can talk my doctor into it, based on the results of the previous test, or if i can talk a hospital into it. a hospital will perform these tests for free if they're convinced it's worth it.

the urine ketone result is pretty scary, but it almost seems like a mistake, if not for the extremely elevated creatinine. it's hard to even make sense of at all. i've clearly been viciously drugged, but i need a secondary test to double down on it.
to put it another way, i could honestly state that the idea of america, and of the "american dream", does not interest me. i don't want to live in the united states. i'm not interested in the promise or potential of america, i'm not inspired by america and i don't think america leads the way. america is a loser in the global economy.

i'm more interested in living in a low population scandinavian style welfare state, with scandinavian people that have scandinavian values, and canada has historically been more like a scandinavian welfare state than it has been like the united states and it's protestant capitalism.

i consider the united kingdom to be a part of scandinavia and not a part of roman europe - geographically, culturally and historically.
somebody should combine 70% no name's caesar and 30% frank's hot sauce into a single condiment.
i may have opened up a can of spaghetti in declaring pasta italian.

pasta is just wheat and water. we have evidence the neanderthals ground wild wheat. it's pretty old and pretty universal.

however, pasta as we understand it is italian, without question.
yup.


why don't i use mozarella on my pasta?

because cheddar has a much higher retinol content. that's the reason.
my pasta might seem italian, but it's actually very native american. call it a spaghetti western pasta. where's my morricone?

american origin items:
tomato, red pepper, paprika, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, pineapple, avocado, sunflower seeds, caesar dressing***, genoa salami*, nutritional yeast, canola oil

italian/greek origin items
pasta, thyme, oregano, basil, olive oil, brocolli, genoa salami*, beet root**, caesar dressing***

south asian origin items
lime, garlic, carrot, cumin, hemp seeds, black pepper

scandinavian origin items:
dill

british origin items
marble (cheddar) cheese

* genoa salami was invented by italian-american immigrants, and isn't exactly italian 
** it was the romans that first started eating beet root rather than beet greens (chards), which were eaten by greeks and egyptians.
*** caesar dressing was invented by an italian-mexican immigrant
the food bank gave me upwards of 30 red and yellow peppers, piles of broccoli, several containers of pesto, a big bag of limes and kilograms worth of pasta. i had put the pasta aside as the last thing to eat in my first meal schedule.

it follows that i will be eating pasta just about every day until mid august, as i eat through four or five schedules to catch up. here's the recipe i'm using:

pre-prep
- on a large flat plate add - one half a tomato (diced), one half a red pepper (diced), one avocado (diced), two cloves of garlic, one carrot, one beet, one tbsp of oregano, one tbsp of thyme, one tbsp of basil, some fresh dill (chopped). the food bank gave me two tomatoes, a container of mini tomatoes, an assortment of processed tomatoes, a lot of red and yellow peppers and a container of mini red peppers. avocados were on sale and i bought enough to match the peppers. i bought a lot of carrots and a lot of beets, which are both cheap; i was able to find a bag of about 30 skinny carrots for $3.00, which is ideal for the application.

- chop 150 g of fresh pineapple into small squares on a small plate. i got four actual pineapples at reduced price at the grocery store across the street because they were ripe, which is a good thing (who wants crunchy pineapples? it's better if they're a little soft.). it seems like i should get around 900 g of usable fruit per pineapple.
- peel and segment one lime. chop each segment in half. put on same plate.

- slice and chop up 50 g of salami into small squares (i'm using spicy genoa sold in a 600 g amount). the food bank also gave me a small amount of ground bison (which i do not believe i've ever eaten before) and a large package of chicken breasts, both of which are in the freezer, and which i'll sub for the salami as it runs out in equal 50 g amounts. 
- fry in olive oil margarine until a little crispy. 

- chop off the top of 25 g of broccoli florets and place on a small plate. place any stems in a bowl in the freezer, which is cumulative.

- grate 100 g of marble cheese

- weigh 110 g of dry pasta, preferably fettucine, but i will not be using fettucine for the foreseeable future. the last three days used up some kind of chinese egg noodle made to look italian first and i'll now be eating through 500 g of fusilli followed by almost two kg of penne. i have a lot of spaghetti (around 5 kg) to eat after that. whatever the type of pasta, i will always weigh 110 g.
- cook to al dente in a covered pot.

preparation:
- add pasta on top of vegetables, right out of the pot. flatten pasta.
- add 1 tbsp of olive oil margarine on pasta.
- add pineapple and lime on top of that. flatten fruit.
- add salami or other meat on top of that. flatten meat.
- add 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp hemp seeds, 1 tbsp sunflower seeds (or just chomp the last one). distribute these items evenly.
- add a lot of ceasar dressing (this is the pasta sauce), and bunch it up in the middle.
(i am not currently adding pesto because it's at the back of a full fridge. i will update this a little later.)
- add the grated marble cheese

- microwave for 2:00

- when it comes out, add frank's, black pepper, a tbsp of cayenne pepper (sprinkled).
- sprinkle crushed broccoli florets on last
 
served with
- serve with some bread and olive oil margarine. the food bank gave me a lot of bread, including garlic cheese buns (first up) and a baguette (second).
- serve with tall glass of 25% grapefruit, 75% orange juice

i will be eating this every day around midnight for the next month.
could taylor swift do a cover of this?

Monday, July 14, 2025

i just want to update this meal list for the last few days and post the pasta recipe i've been eating. i've spent the last two days focusing on writing a document for police. while i believe i have as of yesterday or maybe the day before fully metabolized the drugs that entered my system on june 26th, and perhaps again on july 1st, the result is that i'm absolutely exhausted today and i had to spend it catching up on sleep, which i did. the losers did succeed in waking me up several times (which the hypnosis they put me through can succeed in doing), but the drugs have worn off, and the painful and embarrassing erections were not present when i was being woken up. they keep thinking they're forcing me to generate sexual fantasies (which i really don't have) by talking to me in my sleep, but they aren't. i don't know why they're wasting their time, but they seem to be True Believers in the pseudo-scientific religion of psychoanalysis, and seem to believe this ideological nonsense describes real things that actually exist in real life rather than often poorly developed symbolic analogies, that are best mildly useful in literary analysis, and have no relevance to reality. they keep resorting to drugging me because their therapy is specious nonsense that doesn't actually work, and the drugs certainly do work, but they want to apply their psychoanalysis, not the drugs. they want to prove their therapy works on the level of psychoanalysis, without the need to resort to drugging me, and it just doesn't.

if i could flip this over on them, i would diagnose them with schizophrenia for believing that psychoanalysis is real. it's utter, complete nonsense to the core. i'm not an expert in any of this, and i've really only read the basic texts by freud and jung (and, yes, i have read all of them), but i would cite chomsky as the go-to source to tear this bullshit down, as there is more than sufficient media sources of him very effectively doing this. this is the bullshit i'm dealing with.

as an example of what they're able to do and not able to do, i'll point out that i had a dream about a week ago of taylor swift playing a foofighters song (it was alone and easy target, from their first record). taylor swift was in my grade school class (it was the same grade 5/6 classroom at uplands that i went to elementary school in) and she volunteered to play the song on an acoustic guitar in front of the class. it might be a good music video, actually. when i woke up, i heard the losers talking to me, and i realized they were trying to get me to have a sex dream about taylor hawkins, the now deceased former drummer of foofighters. oops.

i actually don't own a single record with taylor hawkins playing on it. i do still have the first foofighters record, but it was all grohl. i had the second foofighters record for a few months in the 90s, which i believe had the sunny day real estate guy on it, but i actually sold it because i thought it sucked. i have heard almost nothing at all by the foofighters since. i know who taylor hawkins is because he was a famous guy with a recognizable appearance, but i know almost nothing about him, and i'm not a fan of anything he recorded with anybody. i have or am familiar with a few dozen records with grohl playing drums, exclusively from before 2005, and mostly from before 2000. i am a passive taylor swift fan; i wish she was more artistically creative than she actually is. i like the idea of a giant pop star doing art rock, which has ceased to exist in recent decades; taylor has cited people like peter gabriel as an influence, so i was hoping she would better live up to her potential, but it seems like the bean counters won in the end. fucking jews, right. (you should laugh uncomfortably, that's the intent). so, when somebody tried to put the words "taylor" and "foofighters" together to alter my dream patterns, my brain actually constructed an image of taylor swift playing a foofighters song, and not the gross fantasy they were trying to generate. 

there's things they're doing that do work - the drugs work, hypnosis works on an empirical level (but is clinically useless) and, sure, if somebody talks to you when you're sleeping, it just might influence what you're dreaming about, sometimes. however, this ideological framework they're working in is completely pretentious, nonsensical bollocks. an id or an ego is about as real as a soul. it's a religion, not a science.

here's another question, then: are these creeps actually scientologists?

i woke up briefly this afternoon to finish some pasta and eat some baby cookies (which, given that i am not a baby, i am realizing are far too sugary to give to a small child. that's craziness.), but i otherwise slept from about 4 am to about 10 pm, and i needed it. i've been smelling something burning downstairs for the last 24 hours that i think is a hard drug (again. but it's the same losers.) and woke up to the smell of marijuana saturating the other side of the apartment, and feeling terribly sick and drained. so i pounded some water and made some coffee, and i'm starting to wake up.

i noticed another result in my lab, which is urinary ketones at dangerously high levels, which has three possible explanations: deathly diabetes that needs to be controlled (but i'm not diabetic), cancer (i don't think i have cancer) or steroids or some other drug fucking with my metabolism and forcing me into ketosis. look at my diet. it's all pasta and soup. it's a high carb diet! how am i in ketosis?

i'll go through this in the document i'm preparing for police, but it's suggestive of something gone extremely wrong that requires deeper medical attention, which i'm going to need to get in the next day or two.

as mentioned, i think this is required to refocus. it will help me remember what i'm doing and what needs to be done.

what is this pasta recipe?
further, if your goal is really peace in eastern europe, you should not be trying to prevent russia and germany from economic integration. germany would rather buy resources than steal them by force, but they'll react to the condition in front of them.
should russia back down and sign a treaty?

well, they should meet their demands, or accomplish their objectives. if nato won't agree to russian security guarantees, it should continue to construct a buffer state in ukraine, to protect it from a potential invasion by germany.

they said stalin was paranoid, too; he was right.
i don't use tiktok, but ordering it shutdown is foolish in the context of the governmen's own goals of canadianizing media content. if you shut down canada's tik tok offices, users will use vpns to access tik tok from other countries (if they have to), thereby getting less canadian content. 

rather, as tik tok appears to be operating in canada, it should be forced to adhere to canadian law and prosecuted if it doesn't.
but, to get back to what i was saying.

i have no interest in the protestant work ethic; i think people that work hard and play by the rules are losers, and should be treated with contempt. the goal of the free individual in a capitalist system should be to avoid being enslaved, not to volunteer for it.
russia is a major source of raw materials for much of eurasia, who is reliant on them. this will not alter behaviour.

the country that's going to get hit the hardest from this is not china, but germany.

i spent the pandemic radically redesigning my diet, and i ended up shifting my budget to buy more healthy food, as i was no longer able to spend money on concerts. instead of going out to bars, which in canada were closed much longer and opened with much deeper restrictions, i stopped drinking altogether and started going on long bicycle rides, instead. i've completely cut out smoking anything, which was a social activity i did when i was socializing and drinking at bars.
i would imagine that forcing people to make their own meals and eat in restaurants less would actually be good for them.

i would be more like to assign the cause to the fact that they closed the gyms, and forced people to stay inside, thereby cutting down basic levels of exercise like walking to the bus stop, or around the office. if you don't eat very well, cutting out the minimal levels of exercise you get could be devastating. 

this is coming up again, so i want to articulate it clearly.

i agree that there are winners and losers in a capitalist society, but what makes me an anarchist (and not a capitalist) is that i define winning and losing by your membership in the proletariat, and not by your material conditions. stated more clearly, the losers in a capitalist society are the people that go to work and the winners are those that evade wage slavery. i need control over my tools of production, but material conditions and wealth generation have no value to me. 

in my political value system, somebody on welfare is winning if they manage to survive in a way that allows them to accomplish their goals (which are personal and defined strictly by the individual, not enforced by collectivist institutions like free markets), which the person on welfare is often able to do, while somebody that goes to work at a good job every day and generates large amounts of wealth and lives in a house they own is losing if they can't accomplish their goals because they don't have time and hate their life because it's tedious and boring. an artist is winning if they can create the art they want, not if they sell it; the doctor or lawyer is losing if they can't do what they want, even if they have millions of dollars to their net worth.

freedom is valuable. wealth is not valuable. those that are free are winning; those that are wealthy are usually losing. wealth rarely presupposes freedom, and more often creates conditions of enslavement.

something i share in common with capitalists is that i don't have a lot of respect for losers, but i flip the definition of winning and losing on it's head, relative to how a capitalist would define it.

i thought about this a lot in the 00s and realized that i have a choice between letting society enslave me into bourgeois excess (which is losing) or finding some way to escape the bourgeois condition by enslaving the society, instead. it's how capitalism operates; you're a slave or you're a slave master. there's no middle point. i have to support unions if i want to find some way to abolish capitalism, but i know that unionized workers are the biggest slaves and the biggest losers of them all.

i am lucky enough to live in an advanced enough form of capitalism that i have some way out and i've taken advantage of it. i'm not dragged out of my home and chained to a factory.

yet.

indeed.



given that the couch was stolen, it may be a while before i set a system up in the living room/studio space. i'm starting to conclude that i probably am not going to set anything up in there at all but am going to have to move it back into storage or to a different space. this isn't working out. but where can i move where i can avoid these idiot stalkers? it's presenting itself as a very difficult problem.

there's no point in leaving the kefs in the other room if the celestions are broken. so, i've moved the jvc/panasonic/kef system, which is my main system, into the bedroom, for now.

in the process, i realized that there's a lot of signal in the air creating buzzes and ground loops. i was able to fix this system by tightening the speaker wire (is that what happened to the celestion tweeter? did it pick up an rf signal in the air and just fry?), but this apartment may be too noisy for me to work in. there's open electrical wires outside the building.

i need to get a multimeter. i've run into this issue more than twice, now, so it's a tool i should have and don't. one of the tweeters is clearly fried, but the other one might be salvageable. i need to see if the circuit is broken or not. if i can determine that the crossover is working and the tweeter has a circuit, i'll see if i can take it in somewhere to look at it. one of the tweeters seems to me like it should be ok, so i need to test the crossover.

it might not cost much to fix it and if it doesn't i should fix it. these are original vintage tweeters. if i determine that i can't fix it, i'll need to buy new tweeters.

this is not the most important thing in front of me right now, and i'm unfortunately just going to have to deal with broken and closeted celestions for the near future.

Saturday, July 12, 2025

i dropped off on the narrative late on the 2nd. i believe i did some general cleaning in the evening after having a few installments of oatmeal, made some spaghetti-os with some extra broth, got into the shower after midnight (the 3rd), got out to experience a violent bowel movement and eventually ended up on the laptop sorting through kijiji ads for speakers, around 5:00 am. i fell asleep shortly afterwards and was woken up by a drop in the temperature, a little after 8:00. it seems as though the a/c downstairs was set to "popsiclize", probably with a picture of a penguin beside it. i was literally shivering and shaking and had to get up to get a quilt, on july 3rd. the temperature outside was roughly 23 degrees celsius. why was the a/c on at all? at a cold temperature like that, the heat should arguably be on. i had my iron tested a few days later, and it's at reasonable levels.

i then went back to sleep, curled up in my quilt, until after noon, and it had certainly warmed back up in here by then. i spent the rest of the day exfoliating, with the intent to get to all three food banks on friday the 4th, but it didn't work out that way. somebody repeatedly buzzed my door trying to reach me, and i instantly knew it was the stalker, without ambiguity. i did not answer the door.

a pattern has reasserted itself. the stalkers are muslims, and they are trying to force their religion on me, which i have no remote interest in and think is barbaric and backwards. i do not want to interact with their belief system in any way other than to criticize it, with the expectation that it will cease to exist within a few decades, as an upcoming generation will spontaneously abandon it. it's an objectively stupid system of belief; it's not worth it. history tells us that that's how these things actually happen, to the great frustration of marxists, who want process. i'm an anarchist and i want process but i know better - religion spontaneously descends and then spontaneously lifts. the logic is that religion is illogical. right? i do not want to live in the dark ages; they do. they consider the dark ages to be a golden age, and want to turn the clocks back to the dark ages, to recapture the darkness of that period in time, which they think is a net positive. it's true backwardsness, on a deplorable scale. they are targeting, stalking, drugging and harassing me and they're not going to stop until i'm able to get them in jail. i have no choice but to prosecute and incarcerate them, or deal with their unending harassment of me. this is the general way that religious people conduct themselves, and have conducted themselves for thousands of years. it's why the people of europe were forced to fight a thousand year struggle to overthrow christian colonialism, it's why the romans expelled the jews, it's why there are no more native americans, etc. they will force you to follow their rules any way they can until you lock them up and throw away the key, and you have no choice but to fight them off any way you possibly can, for as long as it takes. the reign of terror was such a necessary process, and continues to be so poorly understand by conservative englishmen that need a punch in the face.

as the stalkers are muslims, their sabbath is friday, and they observe it. they come in on thursday night or friday morning. i don't know if they actually pray on friday, i don't hear them, but it seems likely that they do. the harassment begins on friday afternoon (i presume after prayers) and continues until sunday. i believe they usually go back to toronto early on monday morning. it generally stops during the week.

so, thursday the third was spent cleaning myself and cleaning inside the apartment, as so much of the last several weeks has been. i got into the shower relatively late in the evening and got out with conditioner in my hair fairly early in the morning. i made some stew and corn and spent a little time sorting through kijiji ads, hoping to get out early in the morning to do a food bank run to all three sources in quick sequence, but it didn't work out that way; i was instead woken up by the stalker, and i had to react by calling police, who came to the house in the afternoon. i had to go out to talk to them with the conditioner in my hair, but i'll note it was getting much better by this point. we had a talk about ways to generate evidence in order to prosecute, and about the importance of documentation. i then went back in to wash the conditioner out of my hair and i ultimately went back to sleep in the evening and wake up again close to midnight.

something i noticed late on the 4th was the fish flies in the house, which was unexpected. here around the great lakes, these little bites of protein breed by the billions at the end of the spring. they live a day or two and die somewhere to get eaten. they're everywhere for a few days and then melt away with the heat and rain. but how did they get in here? they must have come in after dark, to start; they would have been attracted to the lights. however, there are screens in the windows. 

it suggests somebody got in through the windows when i was sleeping and in the process let them in.

i spent a few seconds spraying them with lysol and watching them melt, only to remember that they have a lifespan of a few days and need open water to breed. these things would be dead by the morning. indeed, they were.

i taped the windows up to stop them from opening and have not seen further fish flies in here, but i know they're around and have been. why were they only in here that one day? it's pretty clear that somebody opened the window up, which is the same basic problem i had in front of me in the previous basement. i'm three floors up, but the window is within jumping distance of the roof next door, if you're pathetic enough to go up there to do it. i could do it. it would also be possible to scale your way around the building from the unit across the hall, if you were a psychotic thug driven by an inflexible ideology, which these people are.

also late on the 4th, i made some vegetable rice soup using microwave rice and a can of peas, in addition to the can of vegetable soup. with the spices and vitamins, this was a pretty good meal. i had everything cleaned up by the end of the night, and stopped to sleep early in the morning.

the stalker again woke me up early on the 5th, and i just got in the shower to wash my hair. somebody was working outside and listening to radio rock, so i had to play some trans am, instead. i went back to sleep in the afternoon, and they woke me up yet again.

i knew i had to get to a blood lab, but i also knew it wouldn't be safe to leave until monday. i was stuck. there was nothing left to do but sit in the shower and wash myself off. 

late on the 5th, i made myself some fried beans in tomato soup, with spices and vitamins, and then just continued on with the process of washing the gunk out of my hair. what else is there to do? i eventually went to sleep early on the 6th, and the stalker woke me up yet again, around 14:00. i called police a second time, and i gave them as much information as i could, including explaining to them that the stalkers had told me they were going to enforce their muslim laws on me (which includes forcing me to grow a beard), and had demanded i stop taking hormones, or face consequences for it. they want me to start a family and have children; i would rather kill myself than be forced to start a family, which i would consider to be death and slavery. family and religion are the two primary forms of slavery in a feudal society. sex, debt and drugs are the way the capitalists enslave you. all of these things should be avoided by people that seek freedom. i went back to sleep around 16:00, and the stalkers again woke me up. i went back to sleep. i had to get enough sleep to allow me to be awake late on the 6th, so i could get to the blood lab early on the 7th.

when i did wake up late on the 6th, i made two cans of chicken noodle soup together, with spices and vitamins. i had to finish washing my hair, and it was presentable enough by mid morning, and then get out to do some bloodwork.
the word "yo" is not in my vocabulary, and is not in the vocabulary of any human i would choose to interact with voluntarily, in any way whatsoever.
pro-tip: if you want me to open the door, saying "yo, open the door" is about the most clear way to be certain that i won't up the door for you. the word "yo" is not in the vocabulary of people i would open the door for; there is a 0% chance that i would open the door for somebody that articulates the word "yo" in any context, whatsoever. sorry. 
i want to post a meal shortlist before i start doing a narrative update, which i think is required to refocus. it will help me remember what i'm doing and what needs to be done.

- july 12th: more licorice, pasta with minor subs
what the urine creatinine result and blood testosterone result together indicate is that i waited a day or two too long to get tested. i think i was drugged on the 1st. i was tested on monday the 7th, and where the steroids were picked up was in the urine. i should have gone on friday the 4th, as soon as it was obvious; i would have picked up more in the blood.

it indicates i have a two or three day time window, and it's completely metabolized by then.

i have a monthly rec coming. next time, i'll get out on the friday to make sure i catch it better.
windsor now has the highest unemployment rate in canada at 11%, which is recession level unemployment. 

this is great news for people looking to rent in windsor, as it will put downward pressure on rent.
i don't want plastic boobs. i want to grow them myself, and i have.

my immune system may be suffering a little from a lack of exposure.

- i have hep a antibodies. i believe i was vaccinated, as it is standard to do the twinrix for kids in canada.
- i have hep b antibodies, but at a level too low to prevent infection. i believe i was vaccinated against hep b at the same time as hep a.
- i do not have hep c antibodies, indicating no exposure. there's no vaccine for hep c,  but most people can beat it.
- i don't have measles antibodies. at all. i'm sure i was vaccinated, but measles prevalence in canada is pretty low. i'm herd immune; my immune system hasn't had to eat any measles in so long that it doesn't bother preparing the antibodies.
- i have no evidence of exposure to hiv or to syphillis

i had to test this based on what's been going on here. i don't think they have at any point physically raped me, but they've drugged me in very disgusting ways, and it's the kind of thing that is very difficult to shake. i have no evidence i've been physically raped and no memory of it if it happened. i should leave it at that.

it does suggest that my lack of exposure to general pathogens over the last three years has reduced my immune response slightly, and i should be careful about that. i mean, i don't have leukemia, and i don't have aids, but you have to use your immune system or it breaks. it is really true that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. 

i have noticed this; my response to allergies since april has been atrocious. i have had a constant runny nose for months.

everything else has come in reasonably well. i'll point out i tested around 11:00 am, which is right before i take my pills, and means this is the lowest point in a 12 hour cycle. i take t blockers every six hours but double up at noon and midnight. i take estrogen and progesterone every six hours, but also double up at noon and midnight, and swap sources every 6 hours. it should peak in the mid afternoon and in the early morning and dip before noon and before midnight. 11:00 am is about as low as it gets.

i did that on purpose. so interpret these results in that context:

- estrogen @ 452 (this is the trough, i haven't tested it recently at peak), which is perfect. the clinical rec for transgendered women is above 450, so if i'm troughing at 450, that's ideal. few post-menopausal women will maintain estradiol at that level. i don't menstruate or have a typical female cycle, but i go through a daily cycle of around 450-900, which is kind of crazy in a biological female context. cis-women don't fluctuate like that daily, they do it over a longer period from much lower to much higher. post-menopausal targets are generally more like 300ish. i've designed my hormone regimen to keep myself constantly high, rather than go through massive swings. i have a theory that the high suicide rates among transwomen are connected to the method of distribution, via injection. if i took injections (and my doctor periodically tries to talk me into it, because it's 'normal'), it would peak at up to 3000 and then fall to almost 0 over the month, which is a level of pms no cis woman has to suffer through. it's utterly insane the way they do it. no wonder so many of us kill ourselves. i have instead set this up in a way to ensure everything gets cycled repeatedly as estrone, which keeps me stabilized, and have consistently tested my estrone at levels in the several thousand. estrone is only weakly feminizing, but it reduces bad cholesterol, and is why my cholesterol is so insanely good. the estrogen at 450 indicates i'm getting enough, but this comes with a caveat, as the amount i'm taking is extremely high. it should be higher than that, really; that i'm troughing at 450 given how much i take is actually evidence i'm being drugged with testosterone or steroids, and that those drugs aren't working very well but are merely kind of dulling the edge off of my feminizing hormones. the estradiol is winning the fight. i expected that and have tried to explain, but they don't fucking listen.

- progesterone @ 19.9, which is pretty high in any context. that's like pregnant levels of progesterone.
- prolactin @30, which is due to the pregnant progesterone levels and is very good for breast size. 
- fsh & lh at 0. which is more pregnant biochemistry.

what?

no, i can't get pregnant. yet. one day, they might be able to stick a womb in there, but that's pretty tricky stuff, really. i would consider it not worth it, especially in my 40s.

- testosterone was at 0.5, which indicates i'd recently been drugged. it's usually at <0.3. 

my vitamin d was at 80, vitamin b12 was at 278 and my ferritin was at 34. i get my b12 from nutritional yeast, which i eat a lot of, and my iron from spices like oregano. i'm happy with my iron a little lowish, so long as it's not at the dangerous levels (under 10) it was at before. at 34, i'm not hauling around excess stores of iron, but i can create the hemoglobin i need.

my rbcs were at 3.67 and my hb was at 122. these are right at the bottom of normal female variability, and i've gotten used to that. it's predictable, and fine. my targets are that i want to keep my rbcs above 3.5 and my hb above 110. i have tested with rbcs <3 and my hb <100 in the last five years, and can't have that. these results are comparably healthy.

random glucose was 4.9, which is pretty low, and actually in a healthy range for fasting glucose. i had not been fasting. i had eaten a big bowl of soup after midnight and was working on an xl double double when i walked in; i didn't even think about it, as i was focusing on the t. i have no reason to be worried about diabetes. hba1c is 5, which is in the zero risk range.

non-fasting random cholesterol was 4.18 with hdl at 1.29 and ldl at 2.32. this is not as useful as a fasting test, but is just about ideal, for what it is. i have minimal concern about my cholesterol, which frequently tests my good cholesterol higher than my bad cholesterol, which is so healthy it's incoherent. like, you can't even make sense of that, it's so healthy.

i am mildly concerned about my kidneys, which goes back to being drugged. i'm also a little concerned about my liver. my egfr keeps coming in weird, but the issue is that there is evidence that my kidneys are being overworked, which is what i keep pointing out i'm concerned about, rather than evidence of any kind of decreased function or failure. so, my creatinine and albumin are both high, but the ratio is actually very, very low. this really continues to point in the direction that i'm being drugged with steroids, as these are both waste products from muscle building. as was the case with the ecg a few months ago, this is something you see in body builders. i am not a body builder, i do not lift weights, i do not take protein supplements, i do not take steroids and i am not interested in building muscle. the exercise i do is aerobic (walking, bicycling) and intended to lose weight, not build muscle. it's hard to make sense of this, except to point out that it looks like i'm on anabolic steroids. this may be a better argument to present as evidence of being drugged than the t levels, as my t blockers are effectively clearing the t, leaving the creatinine and albumin behind as proof. the urine creatinine is 37.84, which is over twice the reference range, and the urine albumin is 19, which is at the top of the range. the ratio is 0.5, which is relatively low. however, blood creatinine and ck (kidney tests) are in the reference ranges (88 and 68, respectively) and blood alt, for liver testing, is actually quite low (21). together, low blood levels and high urine levels suggest i'd recently cleared my system of the steroids, which may be building up in my bladder.

the results suggest that my liver and kidneys are both working fine, even extremely well, but it's producing a bottleneck at the actual excretion point. that is a lot of pissed out creatinine, which just demonstrates my point about the drugging being futile. the evidence is that i'm very successfully getting this shit out of me, and it isn't staying in my system very long - a few days, max. that's what i had deduced and why i wanted to be very careful about getting tested at the right time to catch it.

i need to remain concerned about my kidney and liver health, but what these results suggest is that my kidneys are working exceedingly well in very efficiently clearing the steroids, not that they're failing. i can't continue to push my luck. i'm not getting younger.

my tsh is at 0.74 which is about as low as you can get.

i am still waiting for a "broad spectrum toxicology screen" lab result to see if i can pick up anything like methamphetamines.

overall, i remain in startlingly good health. i would consider these results strong evidence i'm being drugged with steroids and will be presenting them to police as such.
canada is ready for an explicitly atheist, mature political movement on the democratic left.

i would be looking at having this bloc-influenced secular left party essentially replace the ndp, which is too religious, in english canada.
what trump proved is that a sanders-type political candidate didn't fail because of his economic positions, but because of his paleo-right social positions. while sanders was happening, the right was abandoning these views and walking into a vacuum left by the left's retreat from secularism.

if sanders ran as an atheist and a secularist rather than as a family-values conservative, he would win.
i'm considering launching a new secular political party in english canada that is based on the bloc quebecois' secularist politics and roots itself in the enlightenment and french revolution and has the explicit goal of altering the constitution to strengthen the separation of church and state by indicating explicitly in the constitution that canada is a secular society.

if you think this is a good idea, send me an email.

my politics are laid out here over many years. they're pretty clear. i'm an old skool socialist that finds myself aligned with the alt right on issues of religion and culture, and wants to correct that by rebuilding a traditional atheist left, to realign the economic left to where it used to be on cultural issues.
canada has issues with food security, but tariffs are the dumbest conceivable approach.

rather, we need direct investment in local greenhouses - which have, in recent years, been increasingly wasted on growing marijuana.

canada has issues with local pharmaceutical production and the manufacture of medical equipment, but tariffs don't address any of the causes of the problems, they just increase costs and make things worse.

again, we need direct investment to build industry.

we can pay for this direct investment by taxing the americans when they buy our exports.
canada is not interested in darwinian-style capitalism and doesn't want to participate in trump's schemes. 

we should broadcast that with our behaviour. we should act like adults and punish the americans for acting like children.
the situation isn't equal and it's not helpful to pretend it is.

we have industry that manufacturers for their market because it costs less. trump wants to increase costs to create jobs. that isn't rational, and may kill the industry altogether, but they can do that.

they don't have industry that manufactures for us, even if they sell things here. we'd have to force them to build parallel everything, which is inefficient and expensive, and they won't do it.

we're better off letting them sell things here cheaply and sending them a bill for their antisocial behaviour. we should be unilaterally applying tort law on them, and holding them liable for failing to adhere to kantian ethics. we can do that with export taxes.

there will not be a trade deal signed before august 1st, or at all.
at best, we can try to shift import sources from the us to mexico or brazil. that might hurt them, but it doesn't benefit us.

our strategy should be focused on self-interest, not on harming others.
are there industries that currently manufacture in the us for the canadian market that we can bring to canada by increasing tariffs?

i can't think of anything.

we'd simply be punishing our own people. we should not do that.
responding with tariffs doesn't help canadians.

canada is currently beset with weak leadership. it needs to grow a pair and slap down some export taxes.

i'm utterly disgusted - and baffled and shocked - by mark carney's attempt to channel sarah palin.
yeah, smelling the burnt one a few times has me feeling pretty sick. ugh.

on second thought, i think there is a coil in the other one. i'd like to find a way to test the components, before i buy anything.
i am expecting i won't find a direct replacement. i might find a used diaphram. i think this is beyond that. 

i sent a query to celestion as to what other models of tweeters they might recommend.
i'm looking for two t3679 tweeters.

i'm going to want to compare costs for replacing the diaphrams with just buying new tweeters. i'm apprehensive that replacing the diaphrams won't be enough and i should just replace the whole things.
i think it's possible that the 20 watt nad wasn't enough for the celestions, and it took a few weeks for the damage to build up. you can blow a tweeter like this by underpowering it.
the other tweeter does have a coil, but it smells like it was recently burnt and has clear damage to it. i suspect this tweeter can be fixed, but i don't really know how. 

it worked as recently as june 29th, as i was able to play the tears for fears record on that date. that would indicate that the tweeter was damaged sometime after that.

i remember turning it on briefly on the 1st and i do recall a short in the system that i traced to a faulty rca wire and replaced. 

was that the cause of my headache? i'll note i smelled a strong burning smell.

whatever the cause, these speakers are not usable for the foreseeable future and i'm going to have to plan around it. i now have a vintage burnt out celestion tweeter, and a tweeter that doesn't seem to be labelled (or lost it's label) that has no coil.

given that they're both blown, i should just buy two new tweeters, in a matching set, and plug them in.
one of the tweeters has no coil. i have to presume that's the one that never worked. let me open up the other one.
in a small room, i need at least one tweeter. i don't want to listen to bass music.
they were working a few weeks ago.

 set up the jvc and the panasonic, which was the previous known good. i'm going to play through the tears for fears with the bass set to 0 and the treble set to 10 over and over for a while and hope they "come back".

i noticed that they are currently both depressed. that was not the case previously; previously only one was depressed. but they have no markings and no way to tell which is which.
something i might consider doing is buying a pair of separate tweeters and putting them on top of the celestions through the second speaker out, but i don't think that will sound very good

i don't have time for this right now.

so, there's no music in the bedroom for the foreseeable future because the speakers are broken. unfortunately. 
the tweeter in my other celestion has recently broken :(.

i don't know if they're worth fixing or if i should just throw them out, but they're entirely unlistenable at this point. there's no frequency response above 2000 Hz. it sounds like a cell phone. gross.

i'm not 13 years old and i can't listen to music through a cell phone.

fuck you. statisticians are valuable.

journalism has been rendered obsolete by blogging, to the point that the canadian government has come up with ridiculous wealth redistribution schemes just to stop the industry from collapsing altogether.

you want to pick on stats? your days are numbered, you glorified grammar nazi, you third grade english teacher with an inflated sense of self worth.

does wesley snipes not dance or what?

truth is that video type cast him for decades.
trump does protect his friends, though. i actually like that. it's something the left calls solidarity.

most politicians don't.
uch-o.

when you challenge these people to provide evidence of genocide in gaza, they always change the topic to the west bank, which is a more grounded argument. 

listen: i was arguing this was a genocide 20 years ago. i was picking up cues from chomsky, who correctly pointed out it's not apartheid. apartheid is a type of slavery; israel has no intention to enslave the palestinians. i was annoyed at listening to people call it apartheid, as it wasn't. i suggested using the correct term, which was genocide in slow motion.

as the fake left has slowly adjusted it's blinders and begun to see reality for what it is, it has followed my lead, 20 years after the fact and started calling it a genocide. meanwhile, i've moved on to better adjust to the facts, and the fake left remains out of touch, by 20 years.

genocide is a fact of life. i don't exactly want to say "it's evolution, baby!', because that's not what i think, and it's not actually true. what is true is that it's not helpful to hold to these conservative - and that is what it is. it's paleo-right. - perspectives about culture, like you're some kind of anthropologist or something. we have to change and adapt.....and die. that's how it is.

there have been positive genocides in human history, as well. it's not inherently negative. in the distant past, steppe and forest peoples would periodically rise up against the slave traders in the settled areas, and we have half dozen examples of societies that were just burned to the ground and forgotten: ugarit, assyria, minoan crete, carthage, persia - these were cultures that got wiped out because they were horrible. they enslaved and raped and in some cases even ate their own children.

is palestine really that bad? are they michael jackson bad? george thorogood bad?

gowan bad?

gowan bad is bad. it's styx bad. that is the most aptly named band of all time, because being forced to listen to styx is like being sentenced to purgatory, in some conradian epic fail. it's apocalyptically bad, now.

i can imagine that there is some conradian parallel to the tunnel system in gaza, and there are some really damaged, crazy people down there, on the brink of reverting to homo erectus. damn it, kurtz, you've lost it.

ask one that's known them. are they really so bad?

arguably. 

i can't generate the slightest bit of empathy for them at this point. that's where i am. is it a genocide? yeah; and, good riddance. the world is better off without this culture, without these values, without this religion and without this race. it's not a question of guilt v innocence at this point, it's a process of pointing out that you can't de-radicalize them. it's a lost cause. if we could just flush it into the mediterranean; learn to swim i'll see you down in israel bay.

all that to ask - should this woman be sanctioned? well, that depends. i think her views are openly anti-jewish, and she'll deny it, but it's a facade. it's my opinion, however, that that is free speech. i don't think she poses any threat of harm to anybody, and if the argument is that she's creating frivolous indictments, then you fight that in court, not with ad hominems.

but nobody ever accused the trump administration of holding too close to enlightenment values, which is the irony of the situation. there's no discernible good guy here.

is he taking money directly from elon musk or just fantasizing about sucking his cock on the weekends?

ugh.

the ndp have an incredible opportunity in front of them, but all evidence suggests they'll fuck it up.

tariffs on pharmaceuticals are complicated. yes, it's shitty to try to increase the cost of medicine. however, you want to manufacture these items locally, too. it's important to point out that slapping tariffs on pharmaceutical imports is extremely unlikely to actually succeed in increasing domestic manufacturing, as it doesn't address any of the root causes of the problems. if government steps in, it's just a handout to drug companies. the united states needs more intelligent drug plan reform than this!

however, semiconductors and chips (and evs and weapons and vaccines and medical equipment) are the kind of thing that you correctly use tariffs to protect the domestic manufacturing of, and i would support high tariffs on these items. 

i'm far from an advocate of free markets. tariffs aren't good or bad, what they are is hard. most politicians don't have the brains to use them, fuck up and get burned for it, so the broad advice is don't try, citing the wisdom of homer j. trump will lose, overall. he's right this time.
i was just tested at the highest testosterone level i've ever been tested at.

it's still very low, but it's higher than it's ever been, and this is the outcome i was dreading. it's abundantly clear that i've been drugged. however, you wouldn't realize that if you weren't familiar with my chemistry.

i'll have to write an essay.

Normal testosterone levels in adult males typically range from 8.7 to 29 nmol/L.

in women, the normal range is 0-1.8.

i generally test at < 0.4 - trace levels. 

this result was 0.5, indicating it was not trace.

what it demonstrates is that the t-blockers are clearing the t out.
sunday's meal: a can of beans cooked in a can of vegetable soup, plus spices and vitamins.

monday's meal: two cans of chicken noodle soup, plus spices and vitamins. 

i finally made it to one of the food banks this afternoon, and what i got is very focused on the pasta i'm going to be eating almost every day for the rest of this month. i also filled in some ingredients, like avocados and carrots and ceasar dressing and cheese and juice and this is ready to go for the next several weeks. as was the case previously, the first days directly after the food bank are dedicated to consuming the less nutritious donations. 

i had two builders protein mini bars to start, one at 4 pm and one around 10 pm. these are chocolate and peanut butter and have 10 g of protein, 1.75 mg of iron, dangerous amounts of sugar if you're diabetic and zero vitamins or other minerals. they tasted pretty good. i'd call these junk food, but they were decent sources of energy when i was biking around town grocery shopping.

i took a walk to get a coffee around 23:00 because i couldn't believe that coffee was $15 until i checked every store. i drink a lot of coffee and i'm going to have to pay it, but i'm annoyed. coffee used to be $5.99/canister and it was $9.99 forever, until a few weeks ago. this is rapid and sudden, given that we're talking about small amounts. 

the tim's was closed, so i had to go to the 7-11 on wyandotte instead. *shrug*. i was going to get a muffin, but i got a taquito with my coffee.

i am now sitting in front of the computer, about to watch jon stewart, with a bag of sour cream and onion "real vegetable chips", which are chips made out of sweet potatoes and parsnips. they have a ms vickies type taste to them, but are sweet and not spicy. i also have a regular bag which will be consumed quickly. i might suggest ms vickies instead.

i will be making a few containers of chinese noodles, with rice and some other things, this morning. this will be the crux of the tuesday meal.

i have some other thing like halloween size crispy crunches, licorice, ginger bread, baby cookies, jello and goldfish crackers, but this is the crux of the "junk food" to be eaten in the first iteration.

i will post my chinese noodles recipe.

my hair is better but a lot thinner. the film in my hair appears to have been an attempt to curl it by somebody that wants to make me look ethnic. they keep doing this, but i simply don't have curly hair, so it simply doesn't curl, it tangles and knots. the end process of cleaning this is essentially melting out the tangled dead strands with pressure, soap and hot water (if you want the chemistry), which is necessary but also extremely depressing. the result is something that looks vaguely normal, but uncharacteristically thin. these disgusting idiots need to go to jail.

i'm coming to the slow conclusion that the lesbians bought this house on july 1st and at least one of them has been here since, same as before. they drugged me again, i think on the 26th, but possibly on the 1st. it's a total rewind - i'm back where i started.

i got my blood taken today and expect it to be deeply incriminating. i'll need to give it a day or two, and then i can get the results to the cops. 

i should have t levels comparable to a post-menopausal female. they should be trace to barely measurable, something like 0.4-0.6. if they come in higher than that, that's evidence to use to indict. i would expect my estrogen and progesterone are not that much lower, though. i also tested for a lot of other stuff and we'll see what it says.

they seem to have been in here when i was gone.

i'll have a longer write up soon, but what an awful week. the upside is that i should finally get the evidence i need at the end of it to put these pieces of shit in a cell, where they belong.

the bill threw millions of people off health insurance and slashed social spending across the board.

that's not right-wing enough for elon.

thursday's meal: the oatmeal, and a bowl of spaghetti-os later, plus spices and vitamins (cumin, cayenne, pepper, oregano, paprika, sunflower seed, hemp seed, nutritional yeast, frank's).

friday's meal: a can of stew with a can of corn, plus spices and vitamins.

saturday's meal: a package of jasmine rice i had put aside as a quinoa sub (it probably isn't), with a can of peas and a can of tomato soup, plus spices and vitamins.

the last few days have been frustrating. i'm concluding that the stalkers are here and they probably drugged me last thursday, as i'm noting that i had a splitting headache on tuesday night, vicious diarrhea early on thursday morning after eating and then woke up on thursday morning shivering. these are all symptoms of being drugged, and i'm left in the difficult situation where i don't know if they have a key or not and consequently don't know if it's safe to leave.

i'm not quite sure what to do.

i will finish a longer narration later, but i've been focusing on cleaning my hair since the last update and frustrated to realize it got worse, making me wonder if they got in here some how.

every single american on the planet should be embarrassed to the core of their being by what just passed both houses in the united states. america has never been so depraved, so despicable and offered such poor opportunities to exist within. canada ought to get up and walk away.
tell donald trump to go fuck himself - we'll sign a free trade deal with china, and ship them our oil instead. 

you're just about out of munitions last i heard, yankee doodle, because you wasted all your war machines on fighting a pointless war in russia.

at least the chinese won't try to force us to cut our health care to buy more guns.
no, i don't think that we should slash services to pay for death machines (although we already have), and if that is what carney intends to do, the ndp should force an election. 

canadians don't want that at all.
now that trump has his tax cut, he can spend the afternoon in his golf cart fantasizing about arnold palmer's cock.

Wednesday, July 2, 2025

i went to start the day yesterday with some dishes and cleaning by sunrise and got that done effectively, but i ended up deciding to wait until my bras dried before i got into the shower yesterday morning, which resulted in sleeping until close to noon. they were still mildly damp, so i got a coffee and got a first run on filing email before eventually getting in in the afternoon.

after struggling for several hours, i did get out to let the conditioner sit and realized it was worse than i thought, until it wasn't. it's weird how that works, and i have seen it before. right when you're about to give up, it cleans out.

there is a goopy film that keeps getting in my hair and knotting it up. my hair is naturally very thin and straight; it shouldn't be knotting up like this, and it wouldn't be if this shit wasn't getting in it. i strongly suspect that the cause is second-hand marijuana smoke. this is something i had never experienced before 2023, but have experienced multiple times since, and i know it takes about a week of persistent cleaning in order to wash it out. i've also consistently noticed after i'm done cleaning it that breakage occurs on the side when it gets knotted up, making me wonder how it's getting in there and if it's still being periodically cut. is the second hand marijuana smoke actually making my hair fall out? is it that toxic, really? these despicably gross people stalking me have cut my hair previously, but the areas on the side aren't the areas i've been keeping note of, in terms of overall length. cutting my hair at these points would be a more subtle form of assault. 

i initially got out around 16:00 to let the conditioner sit, typed a little, got back in and rinsed. it was at this step that the film finally started to come out, but it's not complete. i need at least one more day.

the cleaned hair is far thinner than it was a few weeks ago and i don't have a good explanation for that.

i got out the second time closer to 19:00 with the intent of rinsing and pausing, took some pills and wanted to eat, but instead passed out with little memory of it and woke up close to 22:00 to the sounds of people talking and feet trampling, to an overwhelming smell of a heavy smoke i don't recognize and to a vicious hemiplegic migraine. i was able to wake up for long enough to slam some tylenol and make another kd + chick peas meal, but i then completely passed out until almost 6:00 am. i've been continuing to struggle with the migraine all day.

i've been trying to get my hair washed, to do some laundry and get out to the food bank all week, but it hasn't worked itself out yet. i am getting there. the kd + chick peas, with the various leftover items i documented, does work in that context, as i wouldn't use it for anything else. i had three boxes, and have now consumed all of them; i am also out of chick peas, amongst the other things i noted. i will need to get back in schedule over the next few days, but do still have out of place items, including some instant oatmeal to eat. i've decided the best way to eat the oatmeal is every few hours in containers of two. it follows that the wednesday meal was the kd and i'll be eating through the instant eatmeal, which is at least a good source of iron, all day on thursday. i'll want to add something else to that later.

i've been waiting until after 23:00 before i get in the shower again, to ensure i wait at least 24 hours between shampoo applications. 

tonight, i need to do my general monthly clean, which is a little different. i bought a desk for a sewing machine, but i won't be able to set it up for a while, so i'm going to move it into the kitchen for now. that will stop me from eating in the bedroom, and get me eating in the kitchen. that will in turn help me set up a few things in the bedroom, so it's some progress. on top of the laundry and food bank run, the thing in front of me remains email filing and legal work, and i need to get that going.
but, the point of getting rid of trudeau is that he was trying to be america's bitch, and wouldn't take no for an answer. canada's entire trade policy was based on the idea that we're america's bestest ever friend and we would love them and kiss them and never let them go.

the reason that trudeau resigned, and the reason we ditched him, and the reason we went to go find a banker from england to take his job, is that we weren't going to do that anymore, because it was embarrassing and shameful and ineffective. it didn't work!

it has taken roughly three months for carney to end up in exactly the same situation as trudeau. he should not expect different results.

the correct thing to do is call for a federal election.
i never want to see another motorcycle again.

they have no utility in today's world.

it's just completely wasteful, completely disgusting.
motorcycles should be banned. outright.

gross.
you don't thermoregulate at 21, you thermoregulate at 37.

and you evolved in a jungle.

like, wake up; 30-40 degrees is your natural habitat. you should thrive in that. 

you suffer because you're fat, you eat garbage and you don't exercise.
- 15 degrees is cold enough to need a sweater and maybe a jacket, unless you're right in the sun

- 20 degrees is enough to take the sweater off, usually, but still cold

- 25 degrees is just starting to warm up, but still uncomfortably cold.

- 30 degrees is a pleasant, comfortable temperature

- 35 degrees is hot enough to turn a fan on

- 40 degrees is hot.

if i was forced to have a window a/c by law, i would set it to 40 degrees, which is when it becomes justified to waste the energy.
the americans have been abundantly clear that they do not intend to lift the tariffs, which are permanent (for the next four years) and structural and intended to generate tax revenue.

our elected leaders are either deaf or stupid.
yeah, it's a step towards a complete collapse of sovereignty, is what it is.

it's like when a dog runs around your ankles, expecting a treat. this isn't sovereign trade policy, it's abjectly pathetic, and that's what the americans are taking note of, our complete reliance on them.

it turns out the disgusting fat losers in the ndp want the whole world to be disgusting fat losers just like them.
i cannot think of a more right-wing policy that wastes more energy than mandating a maximum temperature of 26 degrees, which i would not adhere to.

advocates should be ashamed of themselves for pushing such a wasteful policy, which effectively cancels summer. is this the mr. burns party? why not just build a sunblocker?

26 degrees isn't even hot, it's cold.

get some exercise (lose some weight!) and wear less clothes, you fucking losers.
this is a more foolish war than iraq. ukraine has no possibility of success and has never had any possibility of success and people arguing otherwise are imbeciles operating on the delusion of faith.

it's been clear for a while that the tactic to bleed the russians was backfiring, and the americans were instead bleeding themselves. they need to cut their losses and get out.

this idea of a publicly subsidized grocery store in new york city is a prime example of socialism for the rich. what this seems to be about is a way to subsidize businesses that don't pay their interns, without relying on the food stamps system used by poor people and blue collar workers, because that system is for poor people. the unpaid interns doing free work for businesses downtown and living in apartments rented by their parents are the educated children of the wealthy; they can't be using the same system of food welfare as the poor. instead, they need a parallel system intended to cater to their tastes, and to ensure they don't have to interact with the poor, or suffer the indignity of getting food stamps.

it would probably be more reasonable to just put them on snap and embarrass and shame everybody into just fucking paying them, but you can't have that in america. there are shareholders to report to.

so, the city has to step in instead. how do you fund such a thing? in the united states, i believe food stamps are federally funded. these grocery stores, if they are subsidized by the city, would have to come from property taxes, as that is where cities generate funds. who pays property taxes in new york city? not the wealthy living in their mansions on the water or upstate whose kids will rely on the publicly funded grocery stores, or people working downtown to pay rent and living in apartments. the answer is blue collar property owners, many of them unionized, and working in trades or services.

and, there you go - you get the blue collar working class paying to feed the children of the wealthy, who are living off government welfare. socialism for the rich.

you'll excuse these blue collar workers, however, if they point out that it seems a little more like taxation without representation than it does like socialism.
my hair just won't come clean, it keeps tangling up in knots. it's utterly disgusting. i may just have to rip it out with a heavy brush.
windsor is not quite as bad, but downtown ottawa on canada day is not recommended, at any age. i have memories as a young child of my dad just fucking screaming at people to grow up...

the city becomes scattered with smashed beer bottles and beer cans, cigarette butts (and i suppose joints, nowadays), turns into a mass public urinal with people pissing everywhere, etc. 

canada day was even worse than a roughriders game.

as stated, i'm not particularly adverse to having a beer in public. however, the type of people that gather in public on canada day, specifically, and the way they behave are things to strenuously avoid. it's peak grossness, truly.
it's been a while due to various reasons (i have barely left the house since the start of the pandemic, as my house got bought right when restrictions were easing and then i spent two years fighting off an aggressive attempt to steal my identity, which appears to be continuing in a new apartment), but i like to go out to concerts, and i have a tendency to drink in public.

however, there are a few days of the year that i generally don't like to go out on because the city gets ruined by drunk idiots, and canada day is one of them.
this just in

mark carney has agreed to give donald trump the sudetenland. that's right - carney is handing over the sudetenland.
after all, america has had socialism for the rich for decades.
this guy mamdani calls himself a socialist, but apparently cuomo actually won all of the core democratic constituencies, and mamdani actually managed to win the election by getting republicans, and specifically wealthy white ones, to vote. it looks to me like a continuation of the march towards white collar upper class control of the democratic party, and the continuation of the party's inability to generate candidates and policies that appeal to it's base.

"champagne socialist" is probably being nice, but we've seen quite a bit of this kind of thing from new york, recently. 

the danger is if unions and other core democratic constituencies get so alienated that they vote republican, and it's certainly possible. new york is actually ripe for that kind of thing.

in the short run, it looks like the wealthy elite in new york got their guy, at least for now.
did andrew cuomo campaign for mayor over powerpoint?
i changed my mind about the kd - it was my monday meal after all. in fact, it was a pretty big bowl and it took me most of the night to get through, which distorted my schedule. i wasn't finished until close to 5:00, when i stopped for a short sleep before getting up to do dishes, vacuum and clean the fridge as broadcast and then get into the shower after the sun came up, and i wasn't out of the shower until close to noon. i was getting tired, so i got out to sleep, with the thought that i'd finish washing my hair the next day.

this persistent film - which i suspect is secondhand marijuana smoke but am weirded out by - seemed to be mostly out, until it started to dry. unfortunately, there's enough of this film left in my hair to bunch it up on the sides, which prevents it from sitting loosely on my shoulders, and is extremely unattractive. worse, when it dried completely, the result was less hairspray and more blow dry, which is even more disgusting. the only thing more disgusting than hairsprayed hair is blowdryed hair. i don't have a shirt that says "$2 slut" on it and am not looking to buy one, sorry. yuck. i'm extremely grossed out by this, and i had never seen it before 2023ish, but i've seen it a few times since and i know it washes out, as gross and frustrating as it is. hopefully, today is the last day, and one more day of long showers ends this disgustingness. 

it does suggest the return of the loser stalkers this weekend, and i have heard them downstairs. it's a weird holiday weekend (tuesday is a holiday) in canada, and that's when these losers show up. what i'm learning from this is that modern psychiatry is as dumb as any other religion, and should be treated by rational people with the same amount of contempt and disdain that all other religions are. there's no other way to put it at this point. this is a bunch of magical thinking, a bunch of complete nonsense. it doesn't have the slightest empirical basis. you'd might as well be mumbling prayers at the wall. they keep coming back and as disgusting and frustrating as the situation is, the only way they can actually hurt me is through drugging me. they can babble bullshit at me when i'm sleeping all they want, so long as they don't drug me it's just as likely to have an effect on me as their prayers are to be answered. there's really not a functional difference between the therapy they're performing and sympathetic magic, as a form of prayer. this is what psychiatry has been reduced to in the absence of empirical direction, empty rituals that require deep faith in specious theory to even comprehend. what a sad display of futility and stupidity.

i have a blood rec that is waiting to go. i'll catch them if they fuck up. otherwise, as much as it pisses me off and makes me want to break their faces, i suppose they can waste their time on prayer and magic all they want. 

....the fucking idiots.

i just wish they'd go pray somewhere else where i can't hear them.

so, i woke up around 21:30, poked around online, tidied up a bit, cleaned my bras by hand in the sink as i do (you needed to know that) and got some more pasta running a little after 23:00. this recipe is a little lighter:

- the 2 cloves of garlic went into the bowl first
 
- i just made the kd in the bowl, next [food bank item]
- add pasta
- add margarine
- add "cheese" mix 
- add 100 g of grated marble cheese  [end of cheese]
- mix

- dump a can of chick peas in the large bowl [food bank item]
- add one tbsp of oregano, one tbsp of thyme, one tbsp of basil
- add 1 tbsp of cumin, 1 tbsp of paprika, 1 tbsp of hemp seeds, 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast, 1 tbp of sunflower seeds
- add frank's

i finished this up about an hour ago and made some coffee. 

without the added ingredients, the combination of cumin and chick peas in the kd makes it taste like hamburger helper, which i haven't had in 20-30 years.

remaining items in the fridge are: chicken bone broth, beef broth cubes, a half a bulb of garlic, a half a pack of hemp seeds, a few tbsps of margarine.

i would estimate i have enough coffee left for two cups.

i do have piles of spices and canned food, and intend to do a big food bank run on friday.

this morning, then, will be the same as the last few days; i need to start with some minor cleaning, get in the shower just after sunrise, keep rehydrating and cleaning the film out of my hair until it's gone and then aim for laundry by the end of the day.

as mentioned, the next step is catching up on email and legal documents.
this is terrible:

Ottawa likes to point to energy efficiency standards. A washing machine made in B.C. that meets the provincial standard still needs to meet additional federal standards before it can be sold in Alberta or Ontario. This new law means the B.C. standard would replace the federal one.

it's a lowering of standards, a race to the bottom.
i strongly oppose the blanket removal of all internal canadian trade barriers all at once, without study or justification. these items should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and it should require decades of study to determine the ideal approach, which may entail removing some barriers while maintaining others.

removing a 150 year old tariff should require some reasoning, 

as it is, mark carney has taken the musk/trump approach of just breaking it without bothering to understand it, and the result is that there will be winners and losers from the legislation. some companies may benefit from increased market access, whereas others will suffer. 

there will be significant layoffs and substantive job losses, mostly in the smaller provinces and more rural areas. this is going to severely hurt a lot of people, who didn't have the chance to adjust.

i could accept the premise of a maximum summer temperature in principle, but not as low as 27. on a day where it's 27 and cloudy, i would often need to put on pants, or a long-sleeved shirt. 27 is moderate to cool, it's not warm. 

further, such legislation is inherently misogynist, as it directs temperature regulations towards cooler temperatures preferred by men, and even by heavyset or obese men.

in order for a maximum temperature enshrined in legislation and enforced by law to be inclusive of women and healthy people, it should be something closer to 40 degrees. a legislated maximum temperature should be 35 degrees celsius, minimum.
i hate air conditioning and will not have it imposed on me.

they'd better make sure a window a/c put in my unit is installed extra securely, because they might find that it has a tendency to just fall out of the window and on to the ground outside over and over again, repeatedly smashing into pieces.
i would violently oppose a bill forcing me to endure temperatures less than 27 degrees celsius in july and august, when i like the temperature to be 30 degrees, minimum, at all times.

i'd end up turning the stove on all summer.
i like my scorching hot apartment and am annoyed by my neghbour's air conditioner, which i absolutely hate.

i have a fan blowing hot air into the apartment to counteract the a/c downstairs and stop it from making me cold in the summer.

i don't have any particular attachment to the digital services tax, but i do support the broader premise of taxing income/profits as preferable to taxing consumption, and i'm extremely put off by canada's decision to cave to that kind of tactic. you don't negotiate with a carnivorous animal, and it's stupid and naive to think you can. carney has continuously broadcast the flawed premise that the americans are a rational actor. they aren't.

all we've done is tell trump that he can push us around and get what he wants. he'll do it again, because it worked.

we should have, instead, told them that we will not return to negotiations until they lift duties on softwood lumber.

what is a vulgar marxist?

this is an imprecise term i've seen used in multiple ways over a long period of time, so i should clarify what i mean. i use the term to refer to a capitalist that sees marx as providing deep insight into the operation of capitalism, and marxism as a system that can subsequently help a savvy capitalist to achieve their aims, if it is understood properly and deployed effectively. a vulgar marxist would use 1984, or the shock doctrine, as a user manual to establish deeper levels of capitalist control. the idea is that a vulgar marxist does not want to argue against marx, but to use marx' insights to strengthen capitalist domination.

fdr is often cited as the paramount vulgar marxist, in this context. in canada, pierre trudeau is often interpreted as a vulgar marxist.
my normal pasta recipe would be as follows:

- weigh 110 g of dry pasta, preferably fettucine
- cook to al dente in a covered pot.

- slice and chop up 100 g of salami into small squares (i use spicy genoa or hungarian)
- fry in olive oil (or olive oil margarine) until a little crispy

- chop 150 g of fresh pineapple into small squares

- on a large flat plate add - one half a tomato (diced), one half a red pepper (diced), one avocado (diced), two cloves of garlic, one carrot, one beet, one tbsp of oregano, one tbsp of thyme, one tbsp of basil, some fresh dill (chopped)
- add pasta on top of vegetables
- add 1 tbsp of olive oil margarine
- add pineapple
- add salami
- add 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp hemp seeds, 1 tbsp sunflower seeds (or just chomp the last one)
- add a lot of ceasar dressing (this is the pasta sauce)
- add 100 g of grated marble cheese

- microwave for 1:45

- add frank's, pepper, cayenne
- serve with tall glass of 25% grapefruit, 75% orange huice

========

i don't have a lot of those ingredients on hand, but i'm going to make some kraft dinner tonight as a stop gap just to fill me up until tomorrow, because the oranges and bread weren't really a meal. this is not intended to be a pasta meal but rather to use up what's in my fridge as a continuation of the sunday meal's fridge-clearing process. it's going to use the kd as a base in a large bowl and will be prepared as follows:

- the kd pasta cooks for 7 minutes, according to the box. my water wasn't hot enough, so it went for 12. [food bank item]
- chop two slim jims, and fry in margarine while waiting [food bank item]

- dump a can of chick peas in a large bowl [food bank item]
- add a can of pineapple tidbits [food bank item]
- add 2 cloves of chopped garlic

- add pasta
- add slim jims
- add margarine
- add "cheese" mix
- add 100 g of grated marble cheese
- mix

- add one tbsp of oregano, one tbsp of thyme, one tbsp of basil, some fresh dill (chopped)
- add 1 tbsp of cumin, 1 tbsp of paprika, 1 tbsp of hemp seeds, 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast, 1 tbp of sunflower seeds
- add frank's
- add ceasar

i microwaved it to warm it up.

it's an acceptable stop-gap, but not the pasta i'll be eating this week.
