This plan also relies on people wanting an HDHP. I have an ACA plan, and I’d never willingly pick an HDHP. I believe HRAs like QSEHRA and ICHRA, which allow employers to contribute toward employee premiums, are a solution for stabilizing the individual market over time, not HSAs.

It should surprise no one that my Apple Music Replay is mostly rock. But, there were some big shifts into pop this year with Grant Knoche showing up in my top songs and Shawn Mendes making it into my top artists. #applemusicreplay #music #gay #rock

So, everyone keeps talking about Heated Rivalries. I gave it a try and watched the two episodes that are out. Yes, it’s hot. But the writing and plot isn’t that good. It’s so slow. I don’t really get why it’s gotten as popular as it is, as there are better shows with queer characters.

Tomorrow marks one month of living in Seattle! Can't believe it's already been that long since I moved out of my parents' place and started my new adventure in the city.

I’m not surprised that The Wheel of Time was canceled. Just like with Halo, these shows stray from the plot and alienate fans of the source material. Not sure when studios will get the message…

This was one year ago! Still one of the most breathtaking experiences. Glad I got to see the aurora at Mount Rainier. #photography #northernlights #photographer #pnw #mtrainier

I finally finished reading The Wheel of Time today. I'm not sure how to feel about the ending and the final book. I can safely say it's one of the best series I've read, and I'm glad I gave it a chance despite it taking a while for me to get into.

Took a drive down to Portland yesterday. It was my first time taking in this view of the city from above!

I feel like April has been a waste. I have been writing, but I've been sick most of the month, so I haven't been anywhere or filmed any videos for YouTube. Hoping to start changing that tomorrow, as I'm coughing a bit less.

I'll never forget discovering your work in 6th or 7th grade (2008ish). I took home the first six Shannara books from a yard sale and was instantly hooked! Shannara was my gateway into fantasy beyond children's books, LOTR, and Eragon. Your storytelling helped spark my love for the genre!

Congrats on your semi-retirement! Thank you for Shannara, Street Freaks, and Viridian Deep (I regrettably haven't read Landover yet, but I will soon!). You've been such an inspiration to me and my writing. I'm glad I was able to meet you in 2023, and I hope to get the chance again this month.

So happy that the Geno Smith era is over. Sad that we're losing Lockett and Metcalf, though
Sam Darnold welcome to Seattle!

There are dark days ahead. Will you reject the coming darkness and suffering? Will you stand up for your friends and neighbors? Or will you continue to cheer for the destruction of the country you love?

The president says he's trying to fix the deficit. But, these cuts barely make up any of the budget. Meanwhile, he's costing us millions of dollars by golfing in Florida, and his proposed tax cuts will only put us trillions of dollars more in debt.

And, don't forget that Elon Musk and DOGE have access to your sensitive information, and they aren't handling it in a safe way.

Every one of you who voted for him should be ashamed. People are losing their jobs. People are losing the right to be themselves. Prices are going to rise. Federal funds are still frozen. Our national parks are in danger thanks to staffing cuts (and they were already short-staffed).

A president saying "Long live the King" in reference to themselves is one of the most un-American things a leader could do. We created our union in rebellion to a monarchy. Our very principles of democracy are anti-monarchy. These words are very telling of the way the president views himself.

I cannot think of anything more profoundly un-American than a president declaring himself a “king”

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.
