May, 31 (Evening) Devotion
“Who healeth all thy diseases.”
Psalm 103:3
Humbling as is the statement, yet the fact is certain, that we are all more or less suffering under the disease of sin. What a comfort to know that we have a great Physician who is both able and willing to heal us! Let us think of him awhile tonight. His cures are very speedy—there is life in a look at him; his cures are radical—he strikes at the centre of the disease; and hence, his cures are sure and certain. He never fails, and the disease never returns. There is no relapse where Christ heals; no fear that his patients should be merely patched up for a season, he makes new men of them: a new heart also does he give them, and a right spirit does he put within them. He is well skilled in all diseases. Physicians generally have some speciality. Although they may know a little about almost all our pains and ills, there is usually one disease which they have studied above all others; but Jesus Christ is thoroughly acquainted with the whole of human nature. He is as much at home with one sinner as with another, and never yet did he meet with an out-of-the-way case that was difficult to him. He has had extraordinary complications of strange diseases to deal with, but he has known exactly with one glance of his eye how to treat the patient. He is the only universal doctor; and the medicine he gives is the only true catholicon, healing in every instance. Whatever our spiritual malady may be, we should apply at once to this Divine Physician. There is no brokenness of heart which Jesus cannot bind up. “His blood cleanseth from all sin.” We have but to think of the myriads who have been delivered from all sorts of diseases through the power and virtue of his touch, and we shall joyfully put ourselves in his hands. We trust him, and sin dies; we love him, and grace lives; we wait for him and grace is strengthened; we see him as he is, and grace is perfected forever.

The Great Salt Lake is drying up and the Republican government of Utah is doing little to save it. They constantly cave to the usual groups: agricultural interests, mining, homeowners who like spacious lawns in an arid region, and big industry.
The largest saltwater lake in the western hemisphere has been steadily shrinking, as more and more water has been diverted away from the lake to irrigate farmland, feed industry and water lawns. A megadrought across the US south-west, accelerated by global heating, has hastened the lake’s demise. Unless dire action is taken, the lake could decline beyond recognition within five years, a report published early this year warned, exposing a dusty lakebed laced with arsenic, mercury, lead and other toxic substances.The resulting toxic dustbowl would be “one of the worst environmental disasters in modern US history”, the ecologist Ben Abbott of Brigham Young University told the Guardian earlier this year. Despite such warnings, officials have failed to take serious action, local groups said in their lawsuit, which was filed on Wednesday. “We are trying to avert disaster. We are trying to force the hand of state government to take serious action,” said Brian Moench of the Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, one of the groups suing state agencies. “Plaintiffs pray that this Court declare that the State of Utah has breached its trust duty to ensure water flows into the Great Salt Lake sufficient to maintain the Lake,” reads the lawsuit, which was brought by coalition that includes Earthjustice, the Utah Rivers Council, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Sierra Club, among others.
Political pressure has not been very effective in a state dominated by Republicans. The state's response is lukewarm at best. That's in addition to bizarre proposals.
The state’s Republican governor, Spencer Cox, has suspended new claims to water in the Great Salt Lake basin and appointed a commissioner to oversee response to the lake crisis. Last year, Utah’s legislature passed several conservation measures, including a $40m trust to support lake preservation projects. But Abbott and his colleagues, who authored a sobering report on the lake in January, found that those measures increased flows to the lake by just 100,000 acre feet in 2022. About 2.5m acre-feet a year of water will need to flow into the lake to bring it to a healthy level, the researchers estimated. That water will likely have to come at the expense of agriculture, which takes in about three-quarters of the water diverted away from the lake to grow mostly alfalfa and hay. Cities and mineral extraction operations each take up another 9% of diverted water. But wresting water away from agriculture is politically complicated. Officials have explored propositions to pay farmers to fallow land and use less water, though such proposals have yet to gain much tractions. Lawmakers have also offered up a series of out-of-the-box solutions – including cloud seeding, which uses chemicals to prompt more precipitation – or building a giant pipeline from the Pacific Ocean.
Seriously, a pipeline from the Pacific Ocean? This is a classic idiotic GOP way to deal with an environmental catastrophe which doesn't get to the root of the problem.
Already, the lake has lost 73% of its water and 60% of its surface area, and is becoming saltier, threatening native flies and brine shrimp. A diminished lake may be unable to support the more than 10 million migratory birds that stop over in the region. A white pelican colony recently abandoned a nesting site on the lake, potentially due to declining water levels. “In addition to the millions of people who live here, so many plants and animals depend on the lake,” said Deeda Seed, Utah campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity. “The health of northern Utah’s entire population depends on the Great Salt Lake’s survival and I hope this lawsuit can help save it.”
^^^ emphasis added
Yep, take their asses to court to save the body of water which gave the state's largest city its name.

Holy SHIT I'm such a moron, I just drove to a farewell party at a house I've never been to before that's up in the actual mountains, and BOY did I take the wrong left turn and not realize it until I was in somebody's LITERAL DRIVEWAY unable to turn around because my little Prius couldn't handle the incline and gravel, and I almost BACKED RIGHT OFF THE FUCKING MOUNTAIN and if there hadn't been a LOG they used to mark the edge that I RAN INTO with my car I would definitely have backed off into a nasty ravine!!!! It took me like five minutes of effort to eventually be able to DRIVE OVER THEIR POOR LAWN so I could finally get back onto the road! Their lawn had TWO LARGE BURMS and I just went FLYING over the first one because I panicked and hit the gas instead of the brake!!!! I AM A MENACE AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE

Being a Wilson main means hoping but simultaneously dreading for a Wilson character refresh, should he get one.
I'd love for him to get new character dedicated mechanics like all the other Survivors have but game logic speaking, he's the basic starter character who doesn't have any overly special upsides and downsides save his beard. I also lowkey would hate it if he got a bunch of shit added to him that his playstyle (or lack thereof I guess? Idk) becomes too different.
He's a simple lad, amongst the other characters he's not anything special. I want it to stay that way but at the same time I want him to get a lil love and an animated short dedicated to him bc I love him and want more Wilson lore shh.

Yesterday I finally had an appointment to start the process of hopefully getting diagnosed with POTS. It went...surprisingly well, all things considered, although I could have gone without the lecture on exercise from a PA who doesn't know enough about ME/CFS to have an opinion.
Anyway, they took my blood pressure lying down, sitting, and standing, and did an EKG and some blood work. I'm scheduled for a holter monitor test and an echo next month, and I have an appointment with a cardiologist in February.
I am...conservatively hopeful. I expected it to be a fight even to convince them to run any tests at all, so I was very surprised when they just...did them. Maybe it was down to my no-nonsense mother, but either way I'm grateful.
I don't know if a diagnosis will change anything, but I'm willing to take anything I can get at this point.

I just realized that OT3 verse Anne absolutely founded a university college (and so did Tom Cromwell) and also some girls schools and I have to think whether Oxford or Cambridge.
