Yall I do healthcare analytics and you cannot haggle when literally no one involved knows the price of the transaction in advance. Not the doctor, not the insurance, not the patient. It’s all a mystery until it runs through the claims engine and that is weird too.

It is broken from top to bottom.

Someone on the marketing team for this air purifier actually knows what cat owners want.

Damn tempted to post the coffee cake recipe that starts with melting 3/4c (three US sticks) of butter.

a woman is stirring a pot of food with a wooden spoon and says `` more butter ! '' Alt: A gif of Julia Child, stirring vigorously, with the caption β€œmore butter”.

Crumb cake! From one of those holiday cooking magazines (I love them) from HA, 2003. Fuck I’m old. #recipe #miscellany

To start, melt two cups of butter. I like doing it on the stove because it doesn’t explode over the interior of the microwave. You do you.

Please keep your fingers crossed for us for the next few weeks: our house in Maine is under contract, the appraiser was in a good mood (also we’re selling for less than it’s worth), and the person who wants to buy it would be happy in that neighborhood. Everyone wins, and we’d be out of the red 🀞

Hey! Northern hemisphere folks:

this is my annual reminder to myself and perhaps also to you that if you have the schedule autonomy to permit it, get out for a walk or whatever during daylight hours! It's important!

You can work more when it's dark but you need whatever sunlight is available!

NPR used to be a place left leaning folks could look at and to.

But now they refuse to call teenaged girls children. The underage women line is toxic and horrible.

Underage women are teenagers at best, but they're children. They're children.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

$2000 won’t buy you healthcare in the US.

$2000 won’t give you β€œnegotiating power” with insurance companies.

A one time payment is not a healthcare plan.

It’s time for Medicare for all.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

Does any have recommendations/knowledge for red light therapy at home? Mats, bulbs, panels - any variation!

I lean towards a lot of this being scams or gimmicky, however, awhile back I went once a week for a couple months to a red light bed and it did help me with neuropathy pain in my feet.

New national law will turn large parking lots into solar power farms Starting this month, parking lots in South Korea with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar canopies and carports.

South Korea has just introduced legislation that any car park over 80 spaces has to have solar.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.

It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.
