Disabled Americans Fear What Medicaid Cuts Could Do to Them

“She said that she, and other families of disabled children, would do everything they could to handle cuts [to Medicaid] … ‘Giving up is not something that parents of medically complex and disabled children know how to do,’ she said. ‘I just don’t understand why they’re making it harder.’”

ICYMI! i channeled the em dash’s feelings towards the recent AI allegations for @mcsweeneys.net 💥

Omg

The Nytimes crossword puzzle is speaking my language today!

“the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction - Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of "warning coordination" - had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. He was not replaced.”

DOGE is responsible for the deaths of those children in Texas. A position devoted to “warning coordination” was vacant because early retirement was pushed on National Weather Sevice employees. (Link below)

Will the nation care about these children, when we have ignored the deaths of so many others?

Beauties!

Always boo

writing tip: go to the library, read a good book, go for a walk in the woods, eat your favorite sandwich, look at the moon, float up into the sky among the stars, fall asleep in a cloud, wake up ready to write

Everyone Wants a Piece of Pedro Pascal At 50, Pedro Pascal has made his way to the top of every director’s wish list while also becoming a sex symbol. A funny, sad, honest talk with a star unlike any other.

Pedro Pascal + Anne Carson is the piece of news that will sustain me today.
"When I next speak with Pascal, he’s flush from an energizing weekend..with the Canadian poet Anne Carson..they’re in early talks to collaborate on a piece she’s writing that he’d perform."
