Current events & the Jan 6 anniversary have prompted people to say this is the "new" Lost Cause. As someone whose research on the LC is exhaustive, I can tell you this: it is a shape-shifting racist narrative--useful in the late 19thc., then again at mid-20thc., and again from Reagan to Trump.

in the grand scale of everything that happened that day, I know this isn't the most important...but there are few things that get my archivist's rage going like this lying bullshit. Those people did more than 30 million dollars worth of damage to historical artifacts and artwork at the Capital.
Also January 6th was “just a bunch of people wandering around outside the Capitol, like a large flea market”.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Stay home when you're sick (if you're able -- it's unjust that not all jobs offer paid sick time), and if you must go out while sick, wear a mask. Pro tip: if you wear a mask every time you go out, even when you're not sick, you'll be sick much less often.

If it seems like everyone is sick right now, it’s because a lot of people are sick right now. You might not know what sickness you’re experiencing, but no matter what, it’s important to stay home to give your body time to recover and to avoid infecting others, & wear masks if you have to go out!

I worked full-time all through undergrad because the insurance offered by the public university I attended excluded coverage for any medical condition that required you to see a doctor more than once a year. So Type 1 Diabetes was excluded because you have to get your A1C tested every 3 months.
Yes, and the ACA established a list of conditions they all had to cover. Before that, they excluded whatever they felt like excluding. I had an employer-based policy that did not cover pregnancy and delivery.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.
