public comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit & strip care from DACA recipients ends at 23:59pm EDT tonite

if you haven't commented, it won't take long & is worth doing. context & guidance in-thread ⬇️

if you have commented, thank you💜🏳️‍⚧️
hi, cis folks!

if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.

~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.

that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

I occasionally entertain the idea of slapping together a US flag-themed Linux distro and selling it for $100. Microsoft and Apple both too woke? Try Amerix!

Not sure I could hold down the gag reflex long enough.
Feels like I'm leaving money on the table by not doing a scam or swindle of some kind. Would you guys buy a car for $100,000 if I pretended it can drive itself. What about a fake currency

On this date four years ago, a mnemonic courier named Johnny agreed to what he thought was just another job, helping exfiltrate data from a pharmaceutical conglomerate.

My version of getting back to the land is moving more off streamers and setting up a Navidrome server with FLAC rips of my entire CD collection, so it's vaguely appropriate that this is the first song in an artist and album alphabetical sort.

It has been a, uh, difficult week but I have not laughed louder and harder at something in a very long time than at this.

Three years ago, “Time After Time” got stuck in my head. I’ve since learned to play it on three different instruments. This week, I got to see the queen herself.

If you see this, quote with your first anime.

Making a best guess here. Wikipedia says this started running in the U.S. a year earlier than Noozles, Nickelodeon's other '80s koala-themed Japanese import, and clips of Belle and Sebastian aren't knocking any memories loose.

Find hope and inspiration where you can. YMMV but it feels fortuitous that the Christopher Reeve documentary dropped on streaming the same day.

I joke a lot about being "an old" but sometimes wish I'd been born some decades earlier. As is, my entire living memory is a downward trend of ever-shittier Republicans wrecking everything they can get their hands on followed by voters punishing Democrats for not repairing the damage fast enough.

It was a sprint to the finish after taking a week off to watch Hysteria!, but Carpentober is officially in the books. Not a lot of surprises, but it was nice to finally fill in some of my more glaring omissions.

Just canceled my Washington Post, Amazon Prime, and Twitch Turbo subscriptions, apropos of absolutely nothing that was (or wasn't) in the news yesterday.

Also me (after Hysteria! starts with an MCA-era Universal logo, opening credits in the John Carpenter font, and a "Special Guest Star: Bruce Campbell"):
