..My doctor is starting a $500/mo subscription outside of insurance costs bc arguing with insurance companies to cover patients is bankrupting his office. I can't afford $1k a month extra for my spouse and myself on top of private insurance so.. now I have to find a new doctor. Broken. System.

..Wanna design a horror/escape type game where you wake up and need to access the computer to get out of your crash-landed pod. Only the computer assistant is literally just Chat GPT, which keeps saying it's totally helping you/unlocking stuff, only it's not, and it's consistently wrong.

If you're arrested in Illinois for the means by which you acquire food for your family because of the government shutdown or loss of SNAP benefits, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.
DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.
Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.
Stay safe!
