Well I have a new endo appointment scheduled with the top recommendation from my T1 obgyn (still the best freaking coincidence that I found her), and I just picked up my Twiist starter kit and two Libre 3 plus samples to try all that out for a month.

Miracle ask this morning. Traveling for work and need to sell at least two paintings in the next 3 hrs to cover hotel incidentals. Everything else has been taken care of.

I think I have to find a new endo and I’m upset about it. I used to joke that I was married to this one because I screened potential employers to make sure he’d be in network. I’ve been seeing him for over ten years and he helped me get under control without judgment, which is so rare

Today the boarding place sent me a photo of Gracie clearly giving one of their employees a cuddle and now I want to go in there and rip both of my cats out of their greedy little hands and run off with them into the night 😭

Hey my A1c is 6.9! This feels like a huge achievement after everything I’ve been through over the last 5 years (even though I needed a GLP-1 to do it - don’t be ashamed to use the tools we have if you can access them)

I was so sad at missing KT Tunstall and a bunch of others when Oceans Calling was cancelled. So I said fuck it and drove to VA beach today to catch her at the Boardwalk Weekend! And then I will be driving straight back home 😂

Feeling very sad right now. I bought a pass for Oceans Calling this weekend. It’s been completely cancelled - thankfully we cancelled our hotel yesterday so we only lost a little bit of money. But KT Tunstall announced a guerilla show at Buxy’s and I’m too far away to make it 😭😭😭

Just a note to medical device companies: if you want my business for a contract that costs me/my insurance tens of thousands of dollars, I’d better not be dealing with AI chatbots. Especially if your cartridges are shit and you haven’t been able to sort out a manufacturing issue for over a year

I have to say, I taught Gracie to use the talking buttons and she’s quite opinionated with them! I’ve always known she loves me from her behavior, but there is something special about when she walks to the board in the middle of pets to hit “I love you!” 🥰

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May 2025)

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

Call me crazy, I just think if an influencer is highlighting federal legislation for insulin co-pay caps, they should point out that diabetics fall into insurance coverage gaps ALL. THE. TIME. And they die sometimes from rationing while they can’t access coverage.

Getting depressed by the headlines and thinking about the Ukrainian devs who somehow finished their game in the middle of a war. Sure, it's "just a video game," but sometimes being creative is an act of defiance and determination. Sometimes being creative is what keeps you going in a cruel world

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

Progressive candidates aren’t just coming from out of nowhere. They’re organizing and building power by connecting with their communities. This is a good thing. And the Democratic establishment should take notes.

Really interesting history/context in this feature on single-use plastics, though some suggestions for reducing in the kitchen seem either obvious or wishful thinking. Obviously reducing personal waste is good, but we gotta hold point sources accountable, not just consumers. (2 things can be true!)
