The cure for writer's block is...writing

I've been writing at a prodigious rate, between 2000 and 4000 words a day. My hands hurt all the time.
But I'm not moping around, complaining I am blocked or can't figure out what to write.

And lately, new ideas are cropping up

I submitted a proposal for an Alternate Sherlock Holmes anthology. (Holmes as a woman, Holmes in the Renaissance, whatever floats your boat)

And two stories have caught my eye on the news.

It's The Mirror, so take it with all the seriousness of Weekly World News.
Retired US Marine claims he spent 17 years on Mars protecting five human colonies from Martians.

That would be a GREAT story.

India declares dolphins to be non-human persons.

In my topsy-turvey mind, that got me thinking about human non-persons. What would a world be like if the profoundly retarded (those who never advance past mental infancy) were classed as "human non-persons"? They would be considered human, so they could not be abused or murdered or harmed. But they would not be people, citizens, with rights and responsibilities. What other groups would be conveniently classified that way?
(I have inklings of it in my space-opera universe, where slavery is still a thing and there is a "livestock, sentient," department in most bureaucratic buildings)

Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserole:

2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cubed (1")
8-10 medium potatoes, cut in 1/2" cubes
1/3 cup olive oil
1&1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. paprika
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
6 Tbsp. hot sauce

Topping:
2 cups fiesta blend cheese
1 cup crumbled bacon
1 cup diced green onion

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Spray a 9X13" baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and hot sauce. Add the cubed potatoes and stir to coat. Carefully scoop the potatoes into the prepared baking dish, leaving behind as much of the olive oil/hot sauce mixture as possible. Bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until cooked through and crispy and browned on the outside. While the potatoes are cooking, add the cubed chicken to the bowl with the left over olive oil/hot sauce mixture and stir to coat. Once the potatoes are fully cooked, remove from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Top the cooked potatoes with the raw marinated chicken. In a bowl ix together the cheese, bacon and green onion and top the raw chicken with the cheese mixture. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the topping is bubbly delicious.
Serve with extra hot sauce and/or ranch dressing.
