Came home and discovered my computer had been trying to shut down since I left this morning.

I've:

Collected my housing paperwork
Gone to therapy
Spoken to clinical case manager who called housing case manager who defended the landlord until something CCM said pinged his memory to the fact that the landlord might be a bugging liar, but so far HCM hasn't called back CCM. But yeah, the landlord, behind my back, letter, setting my advocates against me.
Renewed transportation id
Went out to see a house
Discovered over phone than local acquaintance saw my current building (w/ landlord of hell) up for sale on a foreclosure website) - I will be looking into that later tonight. Remembered the url correctly. My building is up.
Got rent money order
Bought monthly transportation pass

Right now:
I've got chicken on
Rice cooking
And am staring longingly at the Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies I bought myself cause jeez fuck today was trying and then some.

What I want later:
To curl up with heating pad
Take pain killing drugs
For all cramps and spasms to go away
To find something humorous to watch so my jaw doesn't lock up again.

Y'know what I want to do? I want to create a

PREEMPTIVE BAN list

Like if you want to have a pleasant journaling experience, avoiding reading entries or fic by these "cr**** *** *** ****"

And it'd list all the daily_deviant fuckwits.

The idots who say Black People are too poor and uneducated to be SF fans.

And the fart heads who say shit like 'But back in the 70's P*** was a compliment'

My list would encompass livejournal and ijay and you could copy and paste to preemtively ban. It might also maybe somehow combine with the greasemonkey killfile so you never have to see their rampant pig in mud, fly in garbage, maggots in rotten flesh happy ass, shot gun defending racism ever ever at all again. EVER.

There needs to be a People of Colour and Allies Fan Con. Cause I refuse to go to any con where I might run into these fuckwits.

*goes back to lengthening her lj and openid ban list*

I was typing something the other day and typed out non white peoples. And then I looked at the phrase kind of semi-shocked, because the phrase 'non white' dehumanizes individuals to me as saying that white is the default and other than white is OTHER in big capitals.

Somehow putting the world peoples to it, shifts things in my head somehow. I'm not sure why. Maybe because peoples reads as nation to me as in Native American Peoples (who I prefer to call First Nations, myself. I also like the phrase Indigenous First Nations for more than just America.)

This is something for me to ponder because there was a big of fap about my not wanting to use the term and I couldn't seem to explain that using a term that I found derogatory just didn't sit well with me.

Sort of like how for some the term People of Colour, makes them think Coloured People and gives them heebie jeebies and they'd rather say Black or Asian etc...

Yeah that's another thing, I rather like the term African Descended. Cause I am. I just am by way of the Caribbean and am now residing in the States.

so...

First Nations
People of Colour
African Descended
Of Asian Descent
Non White Peoples

Still makes my stomach cramp a bit, though I suppose that's because I'm thinking of what it is when you chop peoples off.

Man, there's got to be something that doesn't make me feel skeezy after thought.

People of Pigment on the other hand, makes me think of well, Mystique. And the colour blue.
