Last year I got swabbed so hard I thought they hit my brain. Then I had to get swabbed later that day again.

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief. Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs. What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?

I think @cignahealthcare.bsky.social automatically rejects every request my doctors make. Why can’t I get an arm monitor so my doctors can keep track of the secondary diabetes I now have thanks to metastatic breast cancer treatment? We need the data to make life altering decisions about my care.

Thanks to all of you who shared my posts. Cigna decided not to reject my doctor’s third request for a PET scan.

Cigna forcing me to use Accredo pharmacy has lead to me being in a situation where I can’t get my chemo. And Accredo has been gaslighting me for weeks. Today I thought about quitting my treatment and just letting the cancer kill me. Because I can’t keep begging for care.

Cigna is denying me a PET scan bc. they state it is not medically necessary based on their clinical guidelines. I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer spreading throughout my bones and liver. My insurance company says I don't need the only scan that can show what's going on!

At ASECS and having a blast but also working hard. Last night I performed in a readers theater version of the 1760 play Polly Honeycombe. Today I went to a couple of panels. Had a working lunch in service of the Women’s Studies Caucus. Ran the caucus’s business meeting. And got some rest in. 👍🏼👍🏼

Another most excellent article in the new ECF special issue: Born That Way: Asexuality and Kinship in "The History of Mrs Selvyn," by Abigail Zitin muse.jhu.edu/pub/50/artic... ECF 36.1, U of Toronto Press January 2024, pp. 69-90 #18thCentury #C18th #18thC Thanks for reading ECF at Project MUSE!

Abstract: This article expands the critical account of queer orientations in Sarah Scott's Millenium Hall (1762) to include not only sapphic eroticism but also asexuality. In the inset narrative "The History of Mrs Selvyn," Scott focuses on Mrs Selvyn's mother, Lady Emilia Reynolds, who is all too eager to punish herself for having conceived a child out of wedlock. I generate a threefold close reading of Emilia's story, considering it along a spectrum of exemplarity, at one extreme, and feminist subversion, at the other. In between is a symptomatic reading, in which Scott uses the consequence of Emilia's perverse moral scrupulousness—the fragmentation of her family—to indict the sexual double standard. In framing the narrative as the daughter's story, I argue, Scott celebrates Harriot Selvyn's freedom from sexual desire as the apotheosis of her mother's renunciation of sexuality.

Hello. I’m the ASECS Women’s Caucus co-chair and I’m wondering how many of you would like to see the Caucus create an account here. We are ready to exit Twitter aka X. Also curious if you think societies like ours would get a lot of response on Instagram.
