Artist, theatrical performer, roller derby announcer, and former derby skater in the Midwest.
Single, childless, and married to my my freedom and sense of adventure.
That’s wonderful news to read.
What’s the argument against it being illegal? This seems like a no-brainer.
I spent part of the last two weeks reading ‘Bad Blood’, a book about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, and how they mishandled and faked test results, creating problems for many of their customers. It just seems obvious to me that this kind of deception and fraud is particularly immoral.
If you know how to fix this where I can get qualified competent medical assistance with my issues before they snowball together and murder me, please tell me how because I cannot solve this.
I wish I did, man.
Stories like yours are what I think of every time someone tries to tell me we have “access” to health care, when the reality is we were all sold as a commodity to the health industry by people we elected to protect us.
Just the thought of DIY medicine scares me, and honestly, it’s sad that such a thing has to exist.

If you’re a wage worker, though, America’s already lost. Every time I hear about the 16,000,000 new jobs the Biden Administration has created, I have to remind myself that most of these are second and third jobs, because the majority can’t live off of one anymore.

And that’s not even considering health care and education, both of which are cost-prohibitive now for most.
If you’re working for a wage in this country, you’re already living under fascism.

100%
I am so glad I didn’t spend the first 20 years of my life being convinced I was inadequate just so FB and Twitter and TikTok could sell me bullshit products I do not need.
To be fair, it’s also the phones.
Thanks for sharing.
I don’t hate anyone in particular.
I do, however, hate “everyone”.
There are just so many small ways that people are insufferable.
I would be shitting my pants in terror if Boeing were trying to take my body anywhere.
On a cosmic scale, I find it kind of comforting that everything is eventually going to be gone. It makes it more important to enjoy one’s time in the now.
I am living proof of that second point, but my body always has a natural warmth, so in any kind of heat I feel like I’m melting.
Here’s a story for those of you who, like me, are generally all doom-and-gloom.
