Apparently you are supposed to leave this McDonald’s at a dead sprint.

Been stuck on this screen on ny.gov trying to access my health insurance account for 5 full minutes and counting.

You know what happened next.

Wasn’t sure the new therapist was up to the task but she just suggested I start an anger journal and now I love her

Just described an incident that happened to me last week as "basically a gothic horror novel but with cats" and that is a 100% accurate description

I am incandescent with rage and also just plain scared. I want these people to fry in a hell I don’t even believe in.

Best thing I’ve seen all day and six hours ago @gothamfc.bsky.social knocked @kccurrent.bsky.social out of the playoffs

The problem I have with calling my senators is that I want to sound angry but firm but if I don't carefully plan what to say I just wind up yelling at them not to be spineless (I only did this with one today, so maybe I'm getting better)

ten bucks dem leadership caves on the ACA and then finds a way to blame it on trans people and identity politics
November 9, 2025 at 10:53 PM
I'm a freelancer on the ACA in a world of rapidly shrinking gigs I don't have an FSA you spineless fucks

Operationally speaking this would be the end of the ACA.
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

Ahhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhh!!!!

For the record, for anyone saying this was #8 beating #1, @gothamfc.bsky.social was 8 in number only, we spent the season being much better than that.

Totally worth getting a FUBO trial account 😂 What a banger of a match.

Agggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

(yes I figured out how to watch @gothamfc.bsky.social vs @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social)
November 9, 2025 at 7:45 PM
Super pissed that the Youtube/Disney fight means I can't watch @gothamfc.bsky.social in what I hope will be an epic quarterfinal. Seriously, fuck you guys.

Coping with the fact that despite my extremely not wanting to, I think I have to make myself yet another website.
November 8, 2025 at 8:50 PM
Extremely pissed that the Disney - YouTube standoff means I probably won't be able to see the @gothamfc.bsky.social vs @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social playoff match, not least because if things go well it's going to be a BANGER.

Watching Death by Lightning and I have stopped at 4 minutes in to find out who created the opening credit sequence because it is AMAZING
