I've been reading William Vollmann's "Carbon Ideologies," and he mentions Carl Sandburg's stunning 1920 poem, "Smoke and Steel":

"A bar of steel--it is only
Smoke at the heart of it, smoke and the blood of a man.
A runner of fire ran in it, ran out, ran somewhere else,
And left--and the blood of a man
And the finished steel, chilled and blue..."

And records will continue to be shattered because this is a Crisis we are not addressing - July 4 was the recorded on , surpassing July 3, which held the record for a day. Both days were the hottest recorded since reliable record-keeping began in 1979. However, scientists suspect they are the hottest days Earth has experienced in at least #125,000 years.

Reflections on illness after showing this morning:
.
.
So, I just finished showering and checking the infection and applying antibiotic ointment to it. I may need a script for diflucan filled. Yeast overgrowth also causes my to flare, and I expect that my gut biome is taking quite a hit with this blast of high dose .

I wish I could have many of the sources of probiotics that everyone in the group recommends, but, I CANT HAVE DAIRY! ahhhh! Or , or a lot of the ingredients that are mixed in with those health beverages. I can't have because of the and yeast in it. I can't have any amount of yeast. I can't even have grain. Any kind of grain, except for oats in moderation (I make it plain with a bit of stevia -honey + a splash of oat milk).

I been eating the same food for breakfast since 2018. Oatmeal. Sometimes yellow fin tuna packed in olive oil.

My grandpa also had oatmeal for breakfast for over 50 years (he proudly would tell me). A small bowl of UNSWEETENED, UNBUTTERED OATMEAL without milk, a small glass of orange juice and a diner-sized mug of black coffee. FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS. He was in the best of health, but, he also didn't deviate from his "same foods".

My dad, in contrast, had the worst bowel problems and cysts that were so bad, I heard him howling in the bathroom with my mom when she would drain them herself (she was a nurse during Vietnam and delt with a lot of wound care). My dad chain smoked, ate foods he was allergic/sensitive to (for example, he couldn't have dairy but ate ice cream anyway), and he NEVER DRANK WATER, only soda pop and coffee! The only way my dad would drink water, is by mixing several tablespoons of sugar with it 😭 My mom would yell at him to stop eating all that "crap" because he would cycle through periods of illness that he would have to power through in order to go to work every morning at 4:30, as a dispatcher for HoneyWell.

This is all in inner city Cleveland, near the LTV steel mills, mind you. It was a toxic environment that all of us in Cleveland had to endure. Just about everyone around me had some sort of skin or metabolic issue. Oh, and kidney disease ran rampant in my neighborhood. (Cleveland Clinic did research on our population, btw, but hell if we actually got medical care for it.)

So, anyways, I just think it's awful how a lot of the info on HS and what causes it makes it seem like it's all within the power of the individual to control. That's only minimally true, when a lot of the factors are depending on racial disparities, socioeconomic class, gender status, marital status, genetics, and where someone lives, and more factors I can't even imagine yet.

are huge factors of HS, but no will write about that.

Ok, I have to go now and rest more.

Thanks for making it this far 💜🙏

How many people with worsening flares because of this polluted air?

My skin is weeping

I can't show you pictures because they are graphic and they are where the sun don't shine.

My lungs are a mess, my GI tract is a mess, my skin is scaring me.

FYI --
had HS, and the worst places he had it was right up around his scrotum and cheeks. He was freaking miserable. There's lots written on his condition. He lived next to heavily polluted areas too.

Also, I wish the worst case of HS on the world's

I didn't know where to put this.
It's an article from a digital historical source.

It's about Cleveland's history of steel production and pollution. I grew up in the neighborhoods. Many of the children were born with various medical issues/complications (me and my siblings are chronically ill and disabled in some way). Mass disabling events aren't due to only pandemics of viruses. World reports under document illness and disability. I'm certain of it. is nothing to go by. Might as well be the .

So, ANYWAYS, I realized the past couple days, that my struggles with breathing and are nothing new, I think I am just less resilient, or um... SICKER, and it's harder to roll with the proverbial punches. Seeing the kids struggling with this makes my state worse.

I remember my parents telling me about my oldest brother, born in 1971, having the worst of anyone in the family. My parents didn't own a car, they had to take the RTA (busline, we called it "Rita"), no matter the weather or situation. They had to take the bus, with my asthmatic brother to the hospital, sometimes 2 times a month, due to breathing emergencies, where he would get nebulizer treatments and so on.

I realized. It was the pollution in . My brother was diagnosed with in his early 30's (of course, smoking didn't help, but, he did quit about 5 years ago, I heard this thru the grapevine because he doesn't talk to me anymore). One of his kids (my niece) had an asthma diagnosis as a baby and developed by age 7. runs in my family, as does RA, , , , and of course, , and issues. We are a sick family (increasingly worse over the generations). This can all be traced to and the caste system, , and of course, , , .

So anyways, here's that article:

when you live in a sacrifice zone: kron4.com/news/bay-area/martin

i feel for the residents.

when planners start putting refineries in their own neighborhood, maybe then something might change. but it's never "cost-effective" to do that, is it? always cheaper to put it "somewhere else".

Economic growth isn’t working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of how economic growth emerged in the context of , fossil-fueled , and modernity, the lecture explains how the ideology of conceals the rising and destructions associated with capitalism, and points to desirable alternatives to it. It begins by outlining the hegemony of growth and then moves on to discuss the critique of growth and proposals for degrowth policies. Building on a vibrant field of research, it discusses the political economy and the of a non-growing . It charts a path forward through policies that democratize the economy, -topias that create free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements that make it possible to break with the logic of growth.

So many ideologies and philosophies are floating around, completely unmoored from the modern world we actually live in. Can't emphasize enough that and has fundamentally reshaped society more than just about anything since the dawn of agriculture. This is a new Age.

If your ideology does not even take that into account, it is nothing but a distraction and a waste of everyone's time.

In the eyes of 'the West', the whole world needs to take .
But the perspective from , or the is very different from the .

We talk about . Some of us talk about the destruction of .
But if you cannot feed your family, if your basic economic needs are hard to meet, is seen as the escape from poverty.

So.....?
