SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS….
I was trying to remember when I bought my air fryer toast oven thingy, and couldn’t find any info, so decided to check my blog. Sure enough, I bought it two years ago in May.
You don’t have to spend a lot to get a good product. The ATK recommended one is 400 dollars. Sheesh. Amyway, I got looking through old blog posts, and let me tell you, 2021 was NOT a good year. Check it out for yourself.

BLOG POST FROM 2021
Posted on “My Country is on the verge of self-destruction, thanks to the orange man and his followers. Going to order in some Chinese food. I am too appalled to even think. Egg rolls. Egg rolls will help. OMG.”
Egg rolls did not help. Unfortunately.

I SHOULD NOT GO ONTO SOCIAL MEDIA
I am crazy enough already. But here it is: I am so angry about everything that is happening because of MAGA morons, and because of people who did not bother to vote, that I just want to lash out and say, “I hope it is YOUR mother, sister, daughter who does not get the care they need because you voted for hate or didn’t bother to vote at all.” But I won’t. Right.
On June 3, 2025, the Trump administration formally rescinded a Biden-era CMS guidance that clarified hospitals and emergency departments must provide abortion care when needed to stabilize a patient under EMTALA—regardless of state abortion bans . EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act), passed in 1986, requires any Medicare-funded hospital to deliver a medical screening exam and stabilizing treatment to patients with emergency medical conditions, including pregnant individuals .
Critics argue that revoking the guidance doesn’t legally change EMTALA, but injects confusion and fear into emergency providers—especially in states with strict abortion bans. As the ACLU put it, removing the guidance “will put lives at risk” by creating “legal chaos” . For example, a federal investigation recently found a Texas hospital violated EMTALA when they discharged a woman with an ectopic pregnancy—leading to delayed care and partial loss of her reproductive system . The Trump administration maintains EMTALA is still enforced for life‑or‑death emergencies—but opponents warn that without clear rules, clinicians may hesitate to treat pregnant patients suffering life‑threatening complications like ectopic pregnancies or severe hemorrhage .
This isn’t just fear‑mongering: since the 2022 Dobbs decision, at least 478 excess infant deaths have been estimated in states with total abortion bans . The recent policy shift raises the real possibility that women in dire need could be turned away or left untreated in emergencies. Without the Biden guidance, hospitals may choose caution over care—potentially resulting in preventable deaths.”

IT’S GETTING SO HARD TO STAY POSITIVE
This is from Instagram
We’ve been told the myth that we’re just too many.
Too many people. Not enough food. Not enough homes. Not enough resources.
But the truth?
💥 We produce enough food for 10 billion.
💥 There are more empty homes than unhoused people.
💥 Our wardrobes could clothe 7 generations.
💥 The richest 20% consume 80% of global resources.
So no — the problem isn’t how many we are.
It’s who has access to what.
This isn’t a population crisis. It’s a distribution crisis.
the imbalance of access to resources is the consequence of colonisation of land and its people – by extracting water, food and other goods, denying the access to those resources and forbidding the people to return to their lands – and hoarding the majority in the Global North.
And the myth of overpopulation?
It’s not just wrong — it’s dangerous.
🛑 Because it asks: Who gets to live?
🛑 It blames the Global South, the poor, the racialized — while protecting the hoarding of the wealthy.
🛑 It has already led to forced sterilizations of Indigenous women.
🛑 It justifies borders, violence, and exclusion in the name of “ecology”.
This is not environmentalism.
This is ecofascism.

The FDA
You know. Food inspections and all. So you don’t die from bad food. I get emails from them about recalls. This month alone, I have received seven (7) of them. I think it’s one of the departments the current administration is trying to get rid of. But they are not doing their jobs, it seems, because I just found this:

Cannot delete these next two. (little bit of silent screaming going on here)

CHECK THESE OUT
I know, it’s Instagram, but there is some good stuff on there. A couple of things I like, if you are not into orange disgraces. There are more, but this is a good start.

Need to say these are not links because I can’t seem to do Instagram without leaving my account vulnerable, so you go to Instagram and just look for these names. Sorry about that.

LIFE, IT’S BIGGER…..
My doctor prescribed a drug which I found out too late is extremely dangerous, so not I am going to spend the next couple of months concerned about side effects. I figure if I make it to September, I’m good. 🙂 Why would she do that? She knows the other meds I take, and the health issues I deal with. Do doctors not know about the drugs they give us? Usually I ask and look up and whatever, and this time, because I was not feeling very clear-headed at all, I did not. Stupid Jean needs a brain transplant. Oh, well.
Definitely summer here. Humidity abounds, but fortunately it is not too hot. Can live with humid if the temp is at lease below 75. Did not make it to farmer’s market this week, because spent three days on the couch pretty much useless. Much better today, and brain working well enough to do some online business that needed doing. Another gray day, though, till late afternoon. I love rain, but I need sun, too.
Here are some things I’ve saved. It is getting scarier out there, people. ” “Never give up, never surrender.” Galaxy Quest. Resist. Fight back. Doing nothing is the same as condoning what is happening, saying ‘it’s fine with me, go right ahead’. It’s not fine with me. Not even.
