Still in this ankylosing spondylitis flare.
My bones and muscles around them hurt so fucking much.
And I KNOW it was the xrays that triggered it. Even in the comfort of home, the movements and plate were just too much for my broken piece of junk body, and I am so tired of it.

United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

They compromised the security of government systems, fired federal workers and oversaw the dismantling of USAID which has killed 600,000.
By 2030 approx 14 million people will have died.

I saw this letter a loooong time ago and no one believed me so I’m really glad someone posted it. The pandemic never ended, Biden just wanted PR. He’s helped kill millions and disable millions more, for polling. He wanted to kill you for vibes. Are y’all okay with that?
There seem to be a lot of #BlueMAGA voices that are outraged at any perceived maligning of what they believe to be Joe Biden's heroic management of the pandemic he declared "over" in '23 - the one that is, in fact, ongoing.
"He did the best he could."
No. He did what Impact Research told him to.
"He did the best he could."
No. He did what Impact Research told him to.
![The first page of a memo from a public relations firm, Impact Research, to President Joe Biden and his staff on February 24, 2022 (about a third of the way through the deadliest few months of the pandemic to date). In summary, the memo states that two years into the pandemic, people are over it and want to get back to normal, and that "nearly every American finally has the tools to protect themselves from this virus." The first two bullet points read "Declare the crisis phase of COVID over and push for feeling and acting more normal", and "Recognize that people are 'worn out' and feeling real harm from the years-long restrictions and [next words underlined] take their side."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5pds6fax4nwcysq5nqsxiqn2/bafkreif6tt6kusbzze6n2dwxkihv3qth3gp5bqsbtpsrkihi5mhxyyumi4@jpeg)
