The loss of coverage for Telehealth services for Medicare patients is a HUGE deal. In person appointments are not accessible for a LOT of people. Older adults, people living with disabilities, and folx in rural communities are gonna feel it the most. These times are fucked, man.

In every relationship there comes a day when somebody asks "You wanna go sit outside?" and you DO go sit outside and it's so much better than you imagined, and then from that day forward you start sitting outside more and more and doing other things less and less and this is very awesome

People with glasses and contacts have to realize that we have a disability that just happens to be highly accommodated for in modern society and that accommodation is the only reason why poor eyesight is not considered a disability.

If you find that your uninformed personal opinion disagrees with expert consensus on a technical topic, please consider that “all the experts know something I don’t” is a much more likely explanation than “I alone solved a complex problem that all the world’s experts have long been studying.”
