Arrested because…tattoos?
I think the thing that has made me the angriest and most frustrated since January 20th is how this administration does something outrageous, and then everyone seems to take the big picture item as a fait accompli and focuses in on the resulting injustices instead of decrying the original, abhorrent action.

Preoccupied by politics
I have been incredibly lax in keeping up this blog, for two reasons: The first is that my physical condition doesn’t really change much, unless it’s to get marginally worse with every month that passes.

About Me
I started this blog to talk about a genetic, fibrotic fat-storing (some say autoimmune) condition called Lipoedema, which is something I began to experience in my 60s, although some see early onset at puberty, or post-pregnancy, or at menopause. The other “L” condition from which I suffer is Lymphedema, as a common secondary effect of the fibrosis that blocks lymphatic drainage. Despite the fact that one in 11 women suffer from lipoedema, most doctors have never heard of it, so on top of the pain and embarrassment of this extremely obvious malady, millions of us are out there being fat-shamed for a condition that isn’t contingent on diet or exercise for its growth. This blog was intended to share my reactions.
I have, however, reserved the right to discuss “other stuff” here and, increasingly, since January 20th, 2025, that is politics, because what else, after all, are we legitimately obsessed with in this age of fascism in these United States of America? So while the “theme” of this blog may be confusing, it is my blog, where I can talk about whatever I wish. You are not constrained to read the parts you don’t like. But I feel compelled to write about them.
