Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill.

Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

I have talked to the pharmacy and your insurance again. Insurance is now saying they will not cover it until tomorrow as tomorrow will be the 24th day since your last refill. The fact that your dosage has increased did not matter, they would not budge.

Thanks United Healthcare for once again denying my pain meds. I'm a cancer patient w a bad prognosis and in constant unmanageable pain, but just keep counting beans.

Not to be difficult but, how would you know for sure? (It amazes me that I write any sentence given my lifelong writing anxiety)

Dr Lisa Weaver at Riverside Church yesterday, a short clip from a magnificent sermon. On Isaiah, Old Testament , so not too Jesus-y for this Jew. Thanks to @jennyboylan.bsky.social

The Thing Is BY ELLEN BASS to love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it and everything you’ve held dear crumbles like burnt paper in your hands, your throat filled with the silt of it. When grief sits with you, its tropical heat thickening the air, heavy as water more fit for gills than lungs; when grief weights you down like your own flesh only more of it, an obesity of grief, you think, How can a body withstand this? Then you hold life like a face between your palms, a plain face, no charming smile, no violet eyes, and you say, yes, I will take you I will love you, again.

Because maybe you need this poem as much as I do.
