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

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.

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.
