does this exist?

Here's something I could use: small spray bottles of various colors of edible food coloring. I'd stick the nozzle in a bottle of pills and coat all the pills inside. The coating would need to not come off when I handled the pills.

That way, when I sort out my pills each week for my timed dispensers, I'd be able to tell the difference between all the tiny round white pills. Some of these pills used to be colored, but most of them are white now. Sometimes I need to not take a specific pill on a specific day for a specific reason, and I need to be able to identify it.

Also in the potential usefulness department, and described in a newspaper article, an A.I. that specializes in writing appeals letters for health insurance denials. I belong to an all-encompassing HMO, so anything ordered for me is automatically covered, for which I hope I am grateful enough, but I wonder if something of that general kind would have been useful when I needed to file an appeal of a flat unexplained statement that my pandemic unemployment relief had been ruled ineligible, they didn't say why. I'd sent in my 1099 for the pre-pandemic year to prove I'd been employed, which is what they'd wanted me to demonstrate, but that was judged insufficient, again without saying why. After much searching, I found a lawyer who suggested that my tax return, bank statements, payment stubs (which I still had) and a boilerplate affidavit from my employer (who was happy to provide it) would help, and they did. But I needed someone to advise me on that.

If one year's back on my shoulder

Not having read any of the source novels, approximately twenty minutes into the first series of Poldark (1975–77) as I lay on the couch self-medicating with the late eighteenth century, I remarked to [personal profile] spatch, "Is there any aspect of this homecoming that is not going to be a clusterfuck?" on which the answer turned out to be no, whence it seems the engine of the plot. Since I came to this show by having to wait for the third season of Turn: Washington's Spies (2014–17) to arrive at my local branch library, I was more than ordinarily entertained by the line pertaining to the hero's soldiering past, "Shocking business, eh? Losing the Colonies." The bomber leather frock coat is as impressive as advertised.

I saw the world crashing all around your face

This afternoon my godchild's school was locked down because one of the students had a gun and the nineteenth and twentieth monarchs of the summer hatched. What am I supposed to say about the day itself? That I am reminded even without the martial canonization of a never-laid grief that nothing is easier to shovel under six feet of lime than memory? The last cousin of my grandparents' generation died earlier this week at nearly a century. The lines to the past snap fast enough, no one needs to hurry them along.

On that note, Andrew Kozma's "The Black Death" (2025). I like that Ulysses S. Grant is top of the list of historical characters Jared Harris wants to play, in part because of his civil rights commitments as president and as a counterweight to his negative figuration in the mythos of the Lost Cause. I need a door in the hall closet to BFI Southbank if they are going to keep doing inaccessibly tantalizing series like last year's complete Powell and Pressburger or, currently, Anna May Wong.
