One little moment of trust in a sibling, wrecking ball through my well-crafted, in-motion plans. I'm just tired, so I feel just whatever. It's slimey he lied to her to inspire fear in that she is in prison and can never leave.

Lmao brother sabotaging elder care and my mom's care plan is so slimey. He told her she is "locked in prison" and can never leave if she doesn't move to MA and live with him. And my 20-yr old nephew is also gonna take care of her, while working and going to school.

Ah well, mom wants to talk to me. After last night, she is likely to say she doesn't want to be there and will goto MA with my brother. She rejected aid by nurses, and refused to return to her room. Part of me says ok. Let her. The only other option is I seek to declare her incompetent.

I love my brother's sabotage is now me contacting my lawyer. I want clearer understanding of what authority the POA and medical directive gives me. I'm removing him from emergency contacts. If I have legal backing, I'll set conditions on his visits.

Don't put family as an emergency contact in elder care because that grants them POA-like authority. Only put people listed in the advanced directive if you don't want family interfering.

I am not coaching my brother on communication with mom, as he is sabotaging us and I want mom to ignore him. Her being confused by him is not a problem to fix. He leaves Fri.

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

Still mad at the brother, so I'm watching people saving feral cats videos from the Dodo.

Holy shit. I just had to threaten my brother that I will remove him from Mom's room at elder care. The fucker is telling her she shouldn't be there and he can take care of her in MA. I am incensed. I am not making peace with him on this. He can be unhappy as he wants.

A group has formed to counter protest the transphobic group with loud exchanges going on

Portland: Happening now/4:45pm fascists have descended on Moda center at the South entrance setting up to harass people and be transphobic as they come to the game tonight They say that they're out there and support of Sophie Cunningham but they're out there to be transphobic violent assholes

Lmao do not fuck with me when I am hangry. ,My brother had the gall to tell me, you are blind to what Mom needs and he can take care of her better than here. Like fuck all the way off. Told him to keep his concerns to himself and tell someone who cares what he thinks.

I ignore the saneism/ableism here a lot because I'm just tired. You get to what's the point even saying anything? These are "good" liberals and progressives who know not to do racist or antisemitic tropes. Saneism? Fuck yeah. Everybody is a psycho. You psychos. All of you.

Lmao Elder brother is texting me Ai overviews for in-home, dementia care companies/programs including the one we just used for 2 years. He's only here a few more days. It's a nice break before my care routine fully re-starts, is how it feels.

Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. They never let us go outside.

The source problem is so few people do alt text (including Stancil), which mute and block lists work on. Everybody is bypassing them. The source of that problem is Bsky makes alt-text reminders opt-in. No incentive or aid to growing alt text as a community norm of disability accessibility.

Stop following people that post screenshots of will Stancil if you complain about how blocking him doesn't work because of all the screenshots! I see far fewer dudes with their dongs out since I started muting those accounts and it's hundreds of accounts not just one dude!

Lmao The initiative seeking to reroute 25% of Portland Clean Energy Fund tax revenues to hiring some 400 police officers has failed the first level of signature verification necessary to place it on the November ballot.

An interesting thing about dementia learning is how it becomes rare diseases very quickly. Alzheimer's is 60-70% of dementias, there are 3 other main ones (vascular, frontotemporal, etc), but there are an estimated 1200 identified dementias.

Debate brains on social media are fascinating. I don't need to be told I'm right, I know I'm right. I want you to know I was right, and you were wrong.

Fuck. I suspected it by past phone calls. My brother has gone down the sovereign citizen shit and is part of the American State Nationals. I'm reading bonkers stuff he gave me as proof of right to drive a vehicle that of all things, Avis and his insurance accepted it.

IDK if wise. I am going against the elder care place's request to limit visits the 1st 2 weeks to a minimum. Brother is staying 5 days more, and I was told to also trust my instincts by experts as I know mom best. He will visit daily for dinner, go to the rooftop deck, watch TV for a few hours.

Finally, I have clarity on how I get checkup reports by elder care. I had asked several questions, not answered by their reply email and was getting a little frustrated by their comms. They have a dedicated nurse line I can call. This seems more able to answer any worries or concerns I have.

So relieved. Nurses got mom her meds and she's sleeping. Sibling on his way home, and I'm both tired and wired up.

Moving mom into elder care is done. She said to Penny, a bestie, that she was supposed to be at my house and not there. She also forgot who Penny was, and that is the 1st time it's ever happened. There's no way I can say that is normal. Not 2 days ago mom knew who she was.

Sorry a Will Stancil post. I keep forgetting to put his name in so your blocks and mutes don't get evaded. Anyway, I'm fascinated by the victimage frame, how he appropriated the death of a trans woman, and also proclaims he is powerless. That's a motivational frame for followers to defend-attack

Ok but WS does all the same things of cropped screenshots (decontextualized) and evading blocks. He's signaled permission it's ok to do it!

I get more and more leering of cis, white men talking about harassment and bullying here. Just seems like they took a concept of actually marginalized and applied it to anything marginally uncomfortable. You insulted me. You demeaned me. Ok that sucks, but it does it reach actual harassment?

Seems like white people here think because a Black person could say bigoted things, then they are a racist and should be called it.🤷‍♀️

It's nice when fellow Exec Directors speak up about exploitation in our sector by "good" people. Pay in our field sucks for front-line and non C-suite staff, but that's ok, we do it for the mission! Blech!

I love it. An eviction worth seeing. A pet permitted rental is evicting a woman because neighbors complained her cat is killing birds. She is suing claiming the cat has the right to roam unharnessed.

Told mom movers come Monday. She didn't yell or declare she'd move to Florida. A muted response, and one of resignation. She asked if I would change my mind. I said this is what your doctor thinks best, and we just have to try it out. After that, she asked if she would have her TV channels. Yes
