Don’t let his melting expression deceive you. Axel is still getting lots of love and attention and he is still our Best Boy.
(Sadie, loafing in the back, doesn’t like cameras, and is not a fan of the cat smell, but is business as usual.)

You won’t regret being kind.
Even if no one notices.
Even if it’s hard.
You’ll still know you did the right thing.

I've been thinking a lot about bravery lately, and how our culture, especially Western culture, has co-opted it being immense, sweeping, self-sacrificing, when indeed, at its most powerful it's the smallest moments.
Which is the point, right? Convince people small things don't matter.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.
The show must go on.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:
Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.
That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Everyone knows this is true; it's not a secret in any way. But it's in violation of a number of regulations, and a LOT of times the company will just give up and pay the bill rather than handing you proof they're violating the regs. It's a tactic that has worked for me many, many times.

This is, she says, a wildly successful tactic, because if the insurance company answers them honestly, it gives you evidence that the "doctors" making these determinations are practicing medicine out of scope, without proper licensing and qualifications, in areas they are not competent in.

4) the aggregate rate at which similar treatments are denied vs approved by the specific doctor being used for peer review.
You are not entitled by law to *all* of these things in most states, but you're entitled to some of them, and you can always ask for them.

To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:
1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;
