Israel to start arming Haredi Jews

Hooray! Cataract surgery has been reestablished for this Thursday, December 17th.....

It is outpatient surgery. The hospital for reasons I don't know had bumped me into January and December 31st as things currently stand my health insurance is no more. I think that at some future point in some number of months I will have insurance reestablished but how long that will take is unknown and I am a bit of a danger driving my vehicle without a working left eye. The social worker who has been very kind to me over the years, she works at the hospital, took on this challenge, got a ombudsman department involved and I'm back on schedule for Thursday! Woohoo!

It is scheduled to be a 30 minute procedure, I'll take the bus to the hospital, they will only release me if someone drives me away so the social worker has a driver who will do so. I expect to be back at the shelter late afternoon. It is expected to be painless. I'll have a patch on until the next day when I return to the hospital and they remove the patch and inspect things I'm sure. And from then on they expect that I have a working left eye again. Woohoo! I am supposed to take it easy then for a couple of weeks as I recall but I don't think that means that I really need to curtail my normal activities very a much. And, things will slow down the last half of this month anyway because everyone will be out of town.

It appears that I will not be regaining the sight in my left eye, after all. Although I began .......

It appears that I will not be regaining the sight in my left eye, after all. Although I began work, and put in hours, beginning in June when it became apparent that my current insurance policy would have to be replaced by a managed care policy, the city bureaucracy totally screwed up and I am informed more recently of two things: one, the hospital is bumping me from my December surgery date, presumably because I'm poor and they figure they won't get any repercussions by doing so, and 2. The city screwed up and is dropping my insurance the end of this month, without the transitionn I've been working on to Medicare for which I am fully eligible. My major concern is driving, which I must do for Palestine, but this vehicle, although wonderful, has inherent blind spots that make it difficult to see pedestrians at intersections, and with my left eye pretty useless, that compounds the problem.

My biggest concern is those that don't have the skills to advocate for themselves. The city is filled with well-meaning social workers, but beyond helping one make phone calls, due to the person not having a phone, or having no idea who to call, there is a profound lack of ability to get any results, and even worse, to recognize that lack of ability to get results, is quite staggering. There is a profound sense in this social work community that trying to help is enough. It is a horrible thing for all concerned.

Not that it matters, but I think that this profound failing of the Social Work community is at least largely a systemic problem. Underpaid. Under supported. Poorly led. Inadequately incentivized. Infinitely too few tools provided by we uninterested, unconcerned taxpayers. Radical Republican insurgency working to further destroy what safety net exists. And a social work profession that has a horrible temptation endemic. How does one hold oneself to a high level of performance outcomes when your supervisor is not going to do so, and when your clients with few if any exceptions are in a position to even know what competent performance is, let alone to demand it? And if they did demanded, who would listen? Consequently, with few if any exceptions the social worker is exactly going to hold themselves to the profoundly low standard of being pleasant, being courteous, making phone calls, and then accepting, oh well, at least we tried....... Christian nation? My ass.

Paris deal: Epic fail on a planetary scale

Lol, as I said, it doesn't make any sense to me why I would have a roof over my head when billions do not. I can remember........

Lol, as I said, it doesn't make any sense to me why I would have a roof over my head when billions do not. I can remember twelve agonizing years, 1st through 12th grade, when I literally could not study in school. It didn't make any sense to me to do so. I am paralyzed when it doesn't make sense to me to do something. Lol. It does make sense to me that I would not have a roof over my head, well, an opulent roof, the homeless shelter is sufficiently Spartan, it does make sense to me that I would not have a roof over my head when tens of thousands of children in Palestine live in the streets where we and our American bombs and money put them. And it does make sense to me that I would use every resource, including money, every breath, not to put a roof over my head but to put one over theirs, or, at least a coat around their shoulders, or at least some visibility to their unspeakable suffering. so, as I've written, I expect this week to refuse the beautiful, subsidised1 bedroom, apartment in the new senior housing building just 2 miles from town that I have just become eligible for. Instead, I will invest the dollars that would otherwise go there, every month, to support the heroic activists working to free Palestine and to aid organizations highly reputable in delivering to Palestinians such things has warm clothes. Until the homeless shelter closes in this coming year I'll still have a roof over my work, and then I will happily move back into the streets so all of my meager funds can go toward Palestine. I am so grateful to be in this tiny position to help. I am very very happy about this
