Documentation Crunch Time

Remember back in the ’80s when all of those cold war movies showed the bad guys, the commies, stopping their poor oppressed citizens on the street and asking to see their papers? Remember how evil that felt? The poor saps having to cough up their legal documentation to the secret police at a moment’s notice?

I wonder why I have been thinking of that lately.

So a couple of weeks ago my US passport expired. My state drivers license is going to expire soon as well, and when I renew it I have to get the new federal “Real ID” because we live in a police state now. Unfortunately you need to have an appointment to setup the Real ID and a month ago when I booked one the best date I could get was after my license expires.

The good news is, my passport renewal went off without a hitch and I got it done WAY faster than I expected so I can use my new passport in the Real ID process. That’s cool. I wonder if I can renew my state drivers license first and then replace it a short time later with the federal document. I am guessing I would have to pay twice if I did that and I’ll be damned if I am going to give that tariffing fucker a penny more than I have to. Not that I am cynical about the collapse of my former country or anything. You know how it is.

Papers, please. Fucking authoritarian dictatorship fascist fucking fuckers.

MastodonOn This Day In History (@onthisday@mastodon.social)Today in 1993, 32 years ago: An IRA bomb devastates the Bishopsgate area of London. #OnThisDay

It took MUCH longer than I'd hoped, but finally, the #Canadian government sorted my official #papers and I now have a #CertificateOfCitizenship, dated back to my birthday in 1979.

I am, and always have been, a #canuck.

TLDR. I got my official notice back in early March, but they misspelled my last name, and so it's taken us nearly six weeks to get the darned thing switched to my actual name.

You wouldn't believe the relief, especially since my birth country (UK) has become the United Kingdom of TERFs, and my other country of citizenship (US) is equally unhappy about my existence.

Triple Citizenship is a blessing, but also a curse.

Ich suche fundierte #Studien, Artikel, Beiträge usw., warum #Kernkraftwerke – inklusive #SMR und andere "Zukunftskonzepte" – keine realistische Option für die #Zukunft sind.
Warum sie nicht rentabel betrieben werden können, warum sie wirtschaftlich und/oder praktisch scheitern.

Gerne alles schicken, was ihr dazu habt: Analysen, Langfassungen, gute Threads, #Papers, Dokus.
Super wären auch peer-reviewte Papers.

Danke euch!
