Kentuckians - time to speak up. #kyga26 Senate Bill 72 is absolute garbage. It allows discrimination by healthcare workers at all levels based on very intentionally broad language. Call 1-800-372-7181 and tell your Senator and your Rep to oppose this bill.

Employers who offer health insurance receive a tax break for doing so. If you're self-employed, part of a small business, a nonprofit worker, etc & use state exchanges (Kynect in KY) for insurance, you deserve that tax break too. Contact Congress today to reinstate credits & lower costs.

Helpful tip for anyone using a KitchenAid mixer to work in the ingredients for their pumpkin pie - pumpkin pie spices tend to be heavier and sink, so go after them by stirring manually after things are blended. Don't make my mistakes.

There's something icky about a church in the downtown area of a city launching a $7.8 million campaign for a parish hall when their neighbors are still facing a housing crisis, increasing food prices are forcing more families to the food bank, etc. It's a special kind of privileged tone deaf.

The Kentucky Democratic Party is on a statewide tour defending Medicaid from cuts by the GOP Congress, saying they will hurt individuals, hospitals, and healthcare workers who rely on the safety net program. WKU reports on their stop in Bowling Green:

WKU professor says his family is among those threatened by cuts to Medicaid coverage
More than 300,000 disabled Kentuckians on Medicaid fear they'll see fewer services under the Republican-backed federal budget. Countering what the Trump administration calls the “Big Beautiful Bill," the Kentucky Democratic Party brought its Defense of Medicaid tour to Bowling Green on Thursday.

Friends, I'm basically leaving my job because of my disabling condition. I'm in a uniquely privileged place to do so, thankfully. Even with all that, being openly and publicly disabled in this country feels so dangerous right now. But I'm doing it. If you're forced to be silent, you're not alone.
