A: Money? that's your motivation? It should be about the passion. Just get better. B: I pay $1500 a month in health insurance premiums.

This is being worked on by my doctor, but just a reminder of hoops and denials one has to deal with in this healthcare system. I'm on two immunosuppressants. My doctor says I need two. My body says I need two. My insurance says I need one.

I also believe I’m on the flight in which every single Fringe performer from NYC is headed to Scotland. Imagining the chaos that would result from people busting out their one-man-shows at 30,000 feet

we need to be rapidly & massively increasing public health funding. yet we have one party that is explicitly anti-public health, while the other thinks preventing funding cuts each year is good enough (which they still fail to do half the time). the pandemicene is here. something’s gotta change

Make sure to block the door of your doctor's office so the doctor has a hard time getting in and when they act pretentious later just remind them of how they couldn't enter the room normally.

Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.

Did you know that a scientist couple in the 1940s laid the foundations of modern airborne science, but their work was suppressed for 60 years in ways that enabled the ongoing tragedy of the COVID pandemic? Let a puppet explain!

June 24, 2026. The day Trump cancelled a historic housing bill signing to demand a voter suppression provision. No spin. No nuance. That’s exactly what happened. Print it. Frame it. Remember it at the midterms. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

cities are great BECAUSE of all the crazy people. in a suburb the crazies are all so isolated, they get to writing manifestos and shit. joining evil discord servers. in a city there’s so much crazy and everyone’s so busy that we’ve all kind of agreed to ignore it
