Every time I see someone attribute homelessness to mental illness, I contemplate how few sleepless nights it would take to reduce me to a shuddering, screaming ball of anxiety. And that's without the loss of all my stuff at random intervals and the threat of both state and individual violence.

We need to normalise, in media, on socials and in face to face conversations, saying 'This is a stupid conversation and I'm not going to continue it.'

NOPE, we are not going to make UHC restricting ABA "therapy" a scandal. Autistic adults who survived it as children describe it as torture. It should be illegal and I don't give a fuck if they're only doing it to save money, it's an unambiguous good to reduce the hours we torture autistic kids.

Sometimes I think, "Compared to geological time, living things exist for only little blinks," but other times I think, "actually, life is one continuous chemical chain that first formed billions of years ago and every mountain range that existed back then has long since crumbled away to dust."

Let's make this clear: My mom's test results for nearly two years indicated possible cancer, but neither she nor her doctors knew this because of a private agreement between her insurer and pathologists to occasionally lie about abnormal or ambiguous test results and falsely report them as normal.

The worst fact I know:

Americans think they're saving for retirement, but they're really saving to pay a large unexpected medical bill.πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ

You see older people with no money, and you think they just didn't plan for retirement? Wrong.

All that money in your 401k? You will not get to spend that.

Evidence has demonstrated this effect in numerous cities now.

I understand why it sounds weird to say, 'building a bunch of fancy new townhouses and skyscrapers will make housing more affordable!' but it simply appears to be true.

Learn Git Branching An interactive Git visualization tool to educate and challenge!

I've used too much `git rebase` and not enough `git merge`, and fortunately stumbled on this website, an excellent interactive resource for learning all about git, remedial and advanced.

A drawing called "Art Class" by Edward Steed. Four art students are depicting a skull on top of a wooden stool. The first three students, all wearing berets, are busy painting/focusing on the skull. The fourth student is a tree, also wearing a beret and a look of fierce concentration, and is painting the wooden stool.

For anyone wondering, this is my all-time favourite Edward Steed drawing...

Your periodic reminder that you have the right to find out why your health insurer denied your claim.
