This thread on biscuits made my morning, especially the bookish biscuits. #bookhistory #bibliography
Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵
First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

Unacceptable. @cignahealthcare.bsky.social
Cigna is denying me a PET scan bc. they state it is not medically necessary based on their clinical guidelines. I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer spreading throughout my bones and liver. My insurance company says I don't need the only scan that can show what's going on!

Wtf Cigna. Cancer patients are your patients—where is the care they deserve?
Cigna forcing me to use Accredo pharmacy has lead to me being in a situation where I can’t get my chemo. And Accredo has been gaslighting me for weeks. Today I thought about quitting my treatment and just letting the cancer kill me. Because I can’t keep begging for care.

4) Do not normalize proving your citizenship status on demand. You are not required to do that. Refuse. White American citizens are safest in refusing because they're the hardest to fuck with and they should use it.

Folks are about to get a hard lesson in food sovereignty. If you don’t have control over your food sources, they can make you do anything.

Recovering from a chest cold this morning, so I’m shifting into a lower gear to do intellectual work. Reading other books that model a writing style I admire to get it into my system before I try to sit down and do my own writing later this week.
