I'm obsessed with The Griffin Brothers, and, yes, I did it. I signed up for #rollerskating classes in January.

The US healthcare system hurts poor Americans. It’s about to get worse
As Congress cuts healthcare access to pay for tax cuts and poor Americans die earlier, billionaires invest in anti-ageing

Every day you live in a body in the United States is a lottery. And when the numbers come up, it could be you who has to pay out.

It's #25thAmendment Time, guys! #dementiaalert
If only there was a mechanism to remove a mentally disabled president from office. Oh, wait…
If only there was a VP and cabinet majority that understood their duty granted by the 25th amendment…

One sibling in #Maine reported in : monthly #healthinsurance premium now at $1,040 for catastrophic coverage. With out of pocket and deductibles, that can put a person at $25K for any health issue that might arise. #ACA

New-ish #orchid pots. These are so much fun to make! Orchids love the unglazed clay plus the drainage holes offer a door to the outside. They make a Trader Joe orchid look very special.

No one wants a "catastrophic plan" with "freedom options" and "health sharing". We want unfettered access to a health care system that meets us wherever we are, helps us stay healthy and doesn't cripple our budget when we have an emergency. Why is this so fucking hard?

Small businesses are at the heart of our community. I learned that firsthand, having ran a small specialty printing business for more than three decades.

New orchid pots! I do these in a speckled buff clay that I leave unglazed except for the flowers. Orchids love them (lots of drainage that you can’t see) AND you have something to look at when they are dormant!

When we're on the rebound, I want a book / think piece entitled, "What Were They Thinking?" that would cover the calculus made by all those who chose to be a member of #Trump's government. How did they assess the significant risk to their career and reputation? Who did they consult?
