Remind me to talk about migraine and cognitive fog sometime soon. The short version of it is: I used to think it was just that thinking through intense pain was hard, duh, but if you take away the pain and thinking is still hard? Light bulb.

A tangential aside to a comment somewhere else

As I live in Oakland, I must express some entertainment at the thought that someone thinks the tactic "call the police before a potential minor incident and expect them to show up rather than laugh at you and then pointedly hang up" is in the least effective. I had a car torched on my block in the middle of the night and the police couldn't even be bothered to file an incident report.

Oh, also, I used to work in a domestic violence shelter in Chicago, so my expectations are extra-low on this point. Cops don't show up before a crime. That's not their job.

A fascinating display of faith in the power of the police state, though!
