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.

My sister is taking my niece to their concert in…two weeks? Not bad for her first real show! (But don’t tell her I said that because she will remind me that UGH she’s been to Kidzbop 🤣)

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.

Yeah I always tell other diabetics not to settle for a doctor who isn’t helping them. Guess it’s finally time to take my own advice

He said if I can get the name of a peer-to-peer doctor who has approved an override before, then he will agree to do it, but otherwise I’m SOL. That is a ridiculous standard to ask a patient for in order to help them. He’s changed as a doctor so time for me to do the same

Kat S @katschroe.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
But he doesn’t have time for me any more. I had four questions for my appointment yesterday and he rushed me, refused to help with a new insulin pump I want to try, and he is also refusing to do a prior authorization for my GLP1

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 😭

I went to the flooring store today to start figuring out what I want to replace my floors with and it turns out I like the expensive stuff! 😭

I think to me (as a child free person, so grain of salt and all that) the important thing seems to be having options and not being locked into something that can potentially be very exploitative or disabling because you can’t access anything else

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’m impressed you manage it most Sundays! I try to do the same but inevitably run out of time or motivation to handle the whole week’s worth of meals and that’s just for me

This was the best decision! I was early and got right on the barricade. Amazing show! Hope I get to catch her indoors some time 🥶

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 😂

Yeah I used my day off to mope and now I feel like I should have just gone down for the day to see what I could see. Sorry you missed out, too, friend!

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 😭😭😭

Yeah apparently my washer has been leaking - not enough to notice it in the back of the closet it’s in, but enough that it has caused mold to go through the baseboard and wall to my pantry. This is gonna be expensive and I’m already very anxious about 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!” 🥰

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I have been completely fixated on redoing all the buildings and stuff in Bleak Beach (Pokopia) and I’m getting so close to being done! Also I built my Pokémon a bath house and they are obsessed with it, which is really cute 😊

We still owe $600 for this month's rent and really need to get that paid, and really need to get our ko-fi goal funded cuz it is not looking good over here. Really living what it means when we say everyone is one paycheck away from homelessness and financial ruin. ko-fi.com/johnniejae/s...

i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected

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)

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.
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 ...

We are ONE example. We need to hold our legislators accountable and we need to fight together in community with other disabled folks so that we can get meaningful change on this issue. We need pricing regulation in the short term and universal healthcare (not tied to employment) in the long term

Kat S @katschroe.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Not to mention that it’s not just a T1 diabetes problem. It’s a disability community problem because so many meds have absurd prices attached because this country does not regulate pharmaceutical PRICING (not co-pays) in any way, shape, or form.
