 Insurance does not ensure your health
 
 it just ensures the doctor that you can pay
 
 unrelated, but I just went to the urgent care and they turned me away. they
 don't accept the state insurance. the nearest place that does is a much longer
 bike ride away, and for a person in the heat with a damaged leg... I think
 I'll take an uber.

 do you know where the closest hospital is? grocery store? gas station? ATM?
 
 can you find one in an unfamiliar area based on the patterns that cities are
 typically laid out as?

 it's hard to resist your heart's calling when you're flying through the air on
 a bike.
 
 but then, rent comes due, and your bike is your new home. at least until it
 needs repair.
 
 well, capitalism's always there, you could just try resisting your heart's
 calling!

 I don't know who needs to hear this after staying up all night driving, but
 it's ideal to get where you're going with at least a day to rest. The body can
 only do so much, and isn't it better to be fresh?

 Considering the fact that medical care is so expensive, surely that means the
 expertise, labor, materials, and infrastructural capability to address
 people's health and well-being is in tight supply.
 
 meaning, for things I can understand and live with, I should avoid seeking
 help because those resources could be applied toward some cause that can't be
 lived with, or is not understood. If it doesn't cause distress, don't touch it.
 
 "babe you literally piss yourself on accident if you forget to go to the
 bathroom, what's your plan"
 
 oh um how kind of you to ask, uh, it's mostly just to close my ears and hope
 it goes away. like the weird thunder last night haha I'm pretty sure it wasn't
 raining but I might have just been stoned?

 don't take on more than you can handle. if your plate is full, don't check out
 the notes by the roadside. Doing so tells all the nearby drivers "hey I need a
 job, anyone got anything for me?" which they'll then drop off further along
 the route to your house.
 
 if you just walk on by then nobody will notice as you head home.

 They say that doctors have higher quality care in America but that's not true
 because they hardly have time to spend with patients. They are pushed not to
 sit and think. They are less like a detective, and more like an assembly line
 fast food worker. Because that is what capitalism knowns how to do, not
 because it provides higher quality care. It doesn't matter if the hospital is
 for profit or not - they both run on dollars.

 the reason I say to do it there is because it's close to civilization,
 compared to building a pole barn in the forest somewhere that you have to
 drive 30 minutes to get to a grocery store. no thank you...

 if a bunch of people are in town for a conference then they should probably go
 confer. I think you can just... walk in to conference centers? you don't like,
 need an appointment or anything. There's often something going on, and if not,
 then you can at least wander around. maybe strike up conversations about
 industries you're in or things that you are thinking about lately or stuff you
 like like plant species or rock types or multidimensional solids or spheric
 sound or... actually that's pretty specific, here let's start with just
 bikeshedding (what does that mean again?) oh it's a cinema style where they
 take something and they put it in a bike out shed.

Finally, trying to pivot towards Pacific northwestern native perennial plants (and self-seeding annuals) for food, medicine, and material; they're much more adapted to this region as far as sunlight, moisture, bungalow, microbial, avian, insect partner, and soil types are concerned, and that's not only take less work now to instigate and tend, but are much more equipped to handle the fungal infections, droughts, genetic biodiversity collapses, and fluctuating climates that are inbound.  the BRIT ethnobotany database is helpful in that regard, and given that it's based out of Texas and has gynecological herbs, it would be a really good idea for some of the tech queers in our community to duplicate a redundancy of it.
