“Are hospitals going to require someone to share a pregnancy test, proof they’re on birth control, to get care?”

I talked to Tara Rule about her new lawsuit after she says a hospital denied her meds for a debilitating condition over possible defects to a nonexistent fetus:
A Woman Was Denied Medication for Being of ‘Childbearing Age.’ She Just Sued the Hospital
Tara Rule says her doctor in upstate New York was “determined to protect a hypothetical fetus" instead of helping her treat debilitating pain.

It's been a while since I posted a cooking/baking update! Today I made corn chowder with the corn I got with my farm delivery. I love that you can have it both hot and cold.

Welcome, new users! You just helped us set a new record high for traffic on our service. 👋

Early today, we experienced degraded performance on our server, causing the app to be slow for users, but this is now resolved.

If you live in the West Coast and SW, now is the time to prepare for either sheltering in place or evacuating. Do not wait. Get your go bag in order, and follow your local authorities. Make sure you check on any vulnerable neighbors & don't forget your pets. #Hilary

Honest question: how is everyone keeping track of all the new platforms now?? I find that you end up with way too many tabs open!

While we wait for our beloved Disaster Girls to come back, I highly encourage everyone to listen to older episodes. They are worth it!
