where I talk about upcoming heat of 30° c and I still do not have a response from the crisis division of this ministry of social development of poverty reduction about a new air conditioner. And one that will not just handle the air situation more effectively which is a dual hose/inverter is on sale. 500 bucks and they normally cost way more like $800 or more. https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/danby-dual-hose-portable-air-conditioner-with-wi-fi-14000-btu-sacc-12000-btu-white/17539003

The kindness of listeners who have helped me do the research to figure out what will be best not just for the heat but for the air quality issues as the downstairs duck work is still venting into mine and I still can't get them to do the second scoping even though they already paid for it. I talk more about it although I do talk very disjointed today. I'm not okay

purpose in this case volunteering helps me navigate difficulty eg things I've been talking about in the last few episodes

interesting aha moment i had around my body's reaction to being under such difficulty for so long.

You know in that Star wars movie where they all end up in that trash compactor getting compressed? welcome to my evening

I think that sums it up. everyone breaks under torture eventually. these are the two articles I mentione in the podcast

Maid chemical sensitivities application

Maid chemical sensitivities death

So this is my phone recording my end of the BC budget presentation. here's the link where I hope eventually we can find the transcription. Don't notice that I pick up ahead of steam part way through. I was going a little bit too slow in the beginning as it turns out so I hope they can understand what the heck I was trying to say. The minister asked great question so fingers crossed https://www.leg.bc.ca/parliamentary-business/broadcasts-and-webcasts

The uk CANARY just wrote a follow-up article to the one they rode in December. here is that link https://www.thecanary.co/long-read/2025/06/17/assisted-dying-chronic-fatigue/

And here is the GoFundMe where I put updates in general https://gofund.me/6d981312

they're supposed to be a transcription and a way to listen to it later. I don't really know what's the what with all that yet. I'm going to try to record my section so I can at least post it up here. But in the meantime these are the links I was able to find to be able to listen to BC budget things including mine on June 17th at 1:50 p.m. for 10 minutes

(Just so you have it the GoFundMe is where I also put updates https://gofund.me/6d981312

Petition is still accepting signatures. It was 1,275 last time I looked!
