on thursday i had my left hand incarcerated. the initial serving period was four weeks, with a potential good behaviour reassessment toward the end of this month. that's not to say the hand would be freed at that point, it just might be downgraded from maximum security for the remainder of the sentence. this is what we're hoping for; this will be the preferred verdict. why? because not only is it beyond ridiculous to have a cast up to your elbow for a broken pinkie finger, but because life is more difficult with one hand.

things you can't do with only one hand:

type very well, or very quickly

carry very many things

wash or tie up your hair

type fast on your phone

get the tattoo you booked three months ago

read your book on the bus

take hot things out of the oven

use a shopping basket

carry too many shopping bags

open a can or bottle

carry a tray of food upstairs

wash your hands

clean the dishes

tie a plastic bag around your incarcerated limb

get the tattoo you booked three months ago

remove nail polish from all ten nails

wear your denim jacket

wear your leather jacket

wear any kind of jacket

put on tights

do up a buckle

tie shoe laces
shave my armpits.

scratch the itch on your incarcerated wrist

wear anything with sleeves

squeeze spots
