Also, the memory loss is the least of dementia -- it's the loss of rationality, executive function, all that stuff. Knowing what you had for breakfast doesn't matter, but thinking people are out to get you is terrifying.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, naptime.

It was in tech. I don't feel overly tied to the new version, but I did want the number of notes on there, and couldn't figure out how to do it with the flowers. I think I can swap out the background image, if anyone has ideas.

So, I was listening to This american life (the most recent episode about Minnesota and Native Americans) and it is fucking depressing.
My question is: is there any point in the history of the U.S. in which Native Americans were treated honorably? Because damn our history is fucked up. The letter from Thomas Jefferson killed me.
