Also... did you know that even if you don't have a Birdbuddy feeder, you can follow feeders around the world!?

I'm following feeders in Hawaii and Panama right now. 🦜🐦
Get yourself a friend who shares their Birdbuddy feed because you've got too many bears around to risk buying your own. 🐦🐻

Everyone talking about how this is a Superbowl XLIX rematch but I hope Bad Bunny brings back Left Shark.

Why is it so quiet on here? What happened to engagement? I don't post as much so are people not seeing when I do? Or just not interacting?

Telehealth flexibilities for Medicare are extended until Dec. 31, 2027. As many of you were able to express to elected officials, telemedicine is a crucial service for our community.

We will continue to advocate to make telehealth expansions PERMANENT! www.meaction.net/post/more-gr...

I've been trying to straighten out a medical bill that insurance should've covered. Between calling my insurance and hospital billing, I've probably spoken to six people and four were clearly sick, sniffling constantly into the phone. Mask up, folks. 😷🦠

I know it's only February but I learned my lesson and ordered some summery clothes now.

Every year I forget that ~80% of the country warms up before Vermont, shops for warm weather outfits earlier, and my sizes sell out.

The update iPhone had that added the transparency and 3D effect to my screen made video/reels flicker so I can’t spend much time online anymore. That’s the only thing I can think of that is different.

Seeking advice re: preventative medicine for #migraine I don’t want an antidepressant as I am now battling hormonal weight gain. Botox is delayed as my Dr has been injured and I’m finding that I am using my Zomig more frequently with our weird Winter. Any ideas? @migrainechat.bsky.social

My head hurts so fkn much and I'm not supposed to take any NSAIDs until my endoscopy, so shouldn't use my IM toradol. Nothing else has worked.
