I hope some of you head over to x to have a rational discussion about what Americans are supposed to do about healthcare for their families.

Let’s leave the add on topics for other posts. It’s critical and needs fact checking for all Americans regardless of political interest. (Same username) ⏰

Is anyone attempting to have real conversations with voters about healthcare? I’ve seen a little bit on X, where I hope some of you will commit to facts based posts that lack memes.

They replied with a nice message-we don’t have to publish it, they are just trying a new tool. Not to downgrade my own work but I’m not sure how it translates to riveting podcast material 😆 #academia

Can someone explain this to me? I have questions.
Did Claude do it? Did Gemini do it? ChatGBT? Deep Seek? Just…why Academia?

If you’re not the adult-coloring book type, you can catch a similar zen by contributing to mapping projects that help responders on the ground. @openstreetmap.bsky.social

What happens when you accidentally label your own post with a caution? I can’t figure out how to remove it @bsky.app 😆

Health Insurers Have Been Breaking State Laws for Years States have passed hundreds of laws to protect people from wrongful insurance denials. Yet from emergency services to fertility preservation, insurers still say no.

Patients often don’t know what care they’re entitled to under state law. One survey found 86% of people with insurance don’t know which government agency to call for help.

Knowing how to navigate the system can make all the difference.

You’ll be in the category I was just talking about. ✅ I think it’s going to be more of an issue for X than is being talked about (still “there” but not really).
