Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

Weird econ question:
Separate from whether it'd be good or bad policy, what if instead of an inheritance tax to avoid wealth concentration, the inheritance simply disappeared. Meaning the money doesn't go to the gov't when you die. It just disappears from your bank account.

Attention northern word nerds: The very first Canadian Word of the Year is MAPLEWASHING!
And the results are in! After carefully reviewing the results of a national poll the Board of Directors of the Society for Canadian English (SCE) has determined that this year’s Canadian Word of the Year (CWOTY), the first of its kind, will be “maplewashing.”

white conservatives *love* Black people who validate them, both as political tools and because almost every white person in America wants Black people to tell them they're cool.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

The flooding happening in WA state right now is extreme. Homes under water. Evacuations underway. We also have new, PNW-flavored competition for the "shark in the flood water" image from so many hurricanes past. (Just to be REAL CLEAR here, this photo is NOT REAL, and not meant to look real.)

I hate that we have to explain this every year: The TIME "Person of the Year" award is specifically for the BEST person of the year, it means the editors of TIME think this person is objectively better than all other people, that it is their favorite person who they 100% support
