Steps to clean a room.  1) remove dishes and food and NOTHING ELSE from the room you are cleaning. Put them in the sink or dishwasher. Always do rot first for illness/safety reasons (you may not be that gross but hey, if you forget it might get foul.)

2) get a garbage bag/can and go through the room. Anything garbage, chuck, anything else that is out of place (not where it belongs) put in a pile in the center of the room or area. 

3) Clean with cleaners/machines any foul or safety tasks. Wet puddles. Mildew. A stick ring from a soda can. A buildup of visible dust (allergens) under something. 

4) sort the pile of stuff into where it goes (bathroom, laundry, kitchen, bedroom, etc) and then take all of the stuff for one room in one trip. 

5) and last or holistic cleaning left over (vacuuming, mopping, surface disinfecting etc.)

tada!  The most important thing about this is that it sets a priority order to tasks, namely anything that if you forget for a while could damage your health a surroundings (a bowl of food) over something clutter but safe (your notebooks or laundry). So if depresso you almost never manages to get past step 2 but once a month, yes, your house is cluttered, but it’s not actively harming you. And when you can get things done, it helps focus tasks and combine them so it doesn’t take ten years because you make a separate trip + distractions for every single pen you find in your home. If ADHD brain doesn’t remember what you were doing, that’s fine, it’s visually obvious when you come back to it, very easy to pick up where you left off. 

and then you have this gem.

and y'all better believe the cops will take any chance they can to attack that. Better believe they still hate us all, especially those at the intersection of race and queerness.

Those of you who've felt comfortable that progress has or will simply come have had a shot across the bow. Queer existence is fascist resistance and there is no place to hide for the most visible of us in a fascist future. Being gay doesn't show up on a background check, being intersex is in my medical records, being trans is in my records... I've been violently attacked with witnesses and nothing was ever done (I'm white), Black trans folk are murdered regularly... now, what are you going to do?

On Sixth Anniversary Of Flint Water Crisis, Flint Still Has No Backup Water Source

Flint, MI–On the sixth anniversary of the Flint water crisis, Flint is again in the midst of a crisis.

Six years after the disastrous switch to the Flint River as a source of drinking water for the city, which led to an outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease and toxic levels of lead leaching into the water, the city remains in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act for not having a reliable secondary drinking water source.

Mayor Sheldon Neeley sent a stern message to Flint city council Monday to, “finish the job,” referring to the 21-inch diameter, five-and-a-half-mile pipe, that would connect Genesee County’s water system to Flint. The pipe would ensure that should the current system, which pulls Lake Huron water via Detroit, fail, Flint would have a readily available source of water.

As of now, the only backup source the city has are water reservoirs, which would only supply residents with drinkable water for a matter of days. If anything, such as a major line break or any other unpredictable event that could compromise the city’s water, it’s unclear where Flint would go next once the reservoirs run dry. “The results could be catastrophic,” Neeley said.

The city, per federal law, must have a secondary source of water. The proposed project would be paid for by an Obama era bill, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act. The act authorized $100 million in funding for “Flint, Mich., to recover from the lead contamination in its drinking water system.” According to the EPA, $87 million of that money has not been spent.

The proposed backup system was due to be completed in December of 2019 at a cost of $14.7 million in federal funds. On Monday, the council again voted 4 to 4 delaying construction.  A majority vote of six would be needed from the nine-person council to reconsider the contract before they could revisit the project.
