Shawn Porter @thedocumentedbody.com · 25/09/2026Same! My old doc always had me take my blood pressure at home & bring him the results. I checked an itemized bill (Independence Blue Cross Insurance + Jefferson Medical) of my most recent PCP visit and my insurance was charged $10 per bp check. No wonder they always ask me if I want it rechecked! 020

Shawn Porter @thedocumentedbody.com · 31/08/2026Pre-Trump, I was a huge critic of the media. Then he called reporters the enemy of the people and I dogmatically defended them because the enemy of my enemy, you know? But we’ve gotten to the point where it’s not subtle anymore. 000
Shawn Porter @thedocumentedbody.com · 31/08/2026Take two: I moved from the South to Philly in ‘99 and was lamenting to a regular - who was a bike messenger - about missing Southern food. Just casual conversation. He rented his film and headed out. Hour later he bikes in with red beans, rice, and crawfish down a soul food place. Just because. 📼📼📼📼 061

Shawn Porter @thedocumentedbody.com · 31/08/2026I was the GM of an indie videostore in the 90s. It was a social hub.
