The problem with American health care is the insurance companies. That layer of obscene profit, prices based on fixing not competition, entirely opaque costs that can't be compared. Every health insurance company needs to be regulated to within an inch of its life, or one inch further.

Open Enrollment discussions this year should absolutely radicalize every American to single-payer healthcare with no question.

And yet it REALLY IS easy. Every time we've gotten a new neighbor, we walk over, introduce ourselves, and talk about what we love about where we live. Every time there's an issue, guess who all is outside or texting to make sure everyone's okay and has what they need? It's that straightforward.

Exactly. I know that everyone’s attention and energy is pulled in too many directions because Capitalism, but all of us really do need lean in, show up, join things/spaces and be active. It sounds trite, but it’s true.

More than THINK - people need to ENGAGE. To have a community requires you to show up and participate.

Lately my back doesn’t mind if I am sitting and doesn’t mind if I am standing, but transitioning from one to the other and then it has some real complaints. I feel like a broken transformer. 🤖😖🚗

In high school I looked around and realized ALL people are pretty weird (especially young people). The kids who thought those were the “best years of their lives” just made me sad.

"You couldn't make a Mel Brooks movie today!" Of course not, nobody would give a Jewish veteran with a controversial Black comedian co-writer, both of whom have overt anti-fascist politics in their acts, a budget to make a parody of a genre nobody watches anymore.

The work happening in libraries is quiet, but still important. Keep it on your radar because a world without libraries would be awful for all of us. Also, stop by your local library and say thanks to the workers there, sit a minute and relax in a place that’s not trying to get anything from you.

Feeling very overwhelmed that this happened. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
A picture of a woman with dark hair and glasses, wearing a mustard cardigan over a black T-shirt with the quote "The perception is that nurses bring juice and fluff pillows and that librarians shush you and read all day. Really it’s careful curation of collections, providing tech support, teaching people how to use all manner of things in their lives. It’s connecting people to resources to help them eat, to help them find a roof over their head, to help fix their car. You can’t explain that to someone at a dinner party because they turn away and go, ‘Bye. Now I’m depressed.’"
