Each time a news network replays that embarrassing White House video clip of action movie scenes to encourage allies to join the Iran war mess, something inside me dies a little each day.

Well shit. According to this, I went about my Christmas wish list wants all wrong - I should've just taken over Apple HQ over the holidays when I couldn't budget a new Macbook.

Hi everyone, I've recently gotten approval for disability benefits, but there's a little gap before the payments actually start kicking in. I'm currently at a motel & could use a little help with lodging & food until things kick in. Anything you can do would mean the world. Thank you so much.

I received a lengthy decision letter this week from the administrative law judge who determined my eligibility for disability benefits. I really couldn't remember the words I used in my testimony before the judge that day, but it's the first time I've ever recalled crying from reading my own words.

Patient: "How are you doing today?" Security guard: "Excellent on purpose, ma'am." (Overheard just now in the waiting room of an area medical clinic, said in the most laid back, warmest, OG Detroit-style possible).

While I'm really hoping repairs for this are now underway since yesterday's neurodiagnostic exam in Westland, Michigan, this wasn't very convenient if you're using a cane, walker or wheelchair, @corewellhealth.bsky.social

Prison telecom companies and more than a dozen red-state attorneys have challenged imposing limits on the cost of phone calls from prison, arguing that they would deprive lockups of necessary funding. boltsmag.org/north-c...

Priced Out of Phone Calls Home

The FCC blocked Biden-era limits on the exorbitant rates and fees charged by prison telecom companies, leaving incarcerated people and their families to fight for state-level reforms.

Wealthy or not, just a reminder based on some recent interactions; Using others you already know struggling with homelessness or disabilities for free favors, because you assume we "have more time on our hands" than you do, isn't a charity flex. You're just an ass.

Fucking perplexing, honestly. So much analysis thrown around about how appearing (or not) on one's podcast affected the results of the November election... And now, the convenience of forgetting the ones you frequented.

Although my primary care doc has been great at helping me control my A1C over the last few years, I'm fed up with his lack of empathy and half-assed care regarding my neuropathy pain. I'm at a loss for how best to find a physician who can address this condition better. Any suggestions? #neuropathy

Walked across a puddle in a motel parking lot to reach my truck earlier, to turn over the engine (cold nights now & I'm paranoid about dead batteries since this summer). Note: black asphalt puddles - Part watery, part icy is great self discovery to see if your skating technique is STILL THERE.
