I’m terrified and trying to remain optimistic.🫠

if you or someone you know is spending the holidays alone, or just feels alone this time of year, I wrote a book called How To Be Alone that talks about spending holidays alone, grieving "not being like everyone else," and how to survive this time of year🖤May it find you just in time.🦋

Yeah. I don’t think it’s ever gonna stop being weird to have a doctor say with full empathy “I’m so sorry.”
Having a rare disease is so fucking weird.

Today is the day I untangle these.
I think there’s 3 strands.
I got them for free from the HOA page.
I must do this in the garage because my neighbor and I are now apparently in a fight for the decoration competition and it’s legit the funniest and most frustrating thing ever. Wish me luck.

BREAKING: A federal court blocked Texas from implementing its new congressional map that discriminates against voters of color for the 2026 midterm elections.
This ruling reaffirms that voters get to choose our politicians, not the other way around.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

People online: “you’re seeing the HARRP project, not the Northern lights. You’d never see that in Texas.”
Brother. Sit down and say you don’t understand what a geomagnetic storm is and why they are as strong as they are that we’re seeing them in Texas…. It’s okay.

No this is fine. Nothing like your insurance changing to grid lock you to only seeing doctors in your metroplex. (I live in a rural area.)
Yeah seems fair. Seems fine.

Ok, here is why this Alt is pissed off.
They got a promise, pinky swear, from the GOP (known liars) on a vote 40 days from now on the subsidies. After the subsidies have expired, after the rates are locked.
40 day from now, meaning there isn't going to be any ACA help for 2026.
