Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

As I say again and again - no one expects quite the horrific mix of indescribable tedium and intolerable body horror that is ongoing illness and how the tedium is a key component of the horror. #TheChronicLife
Chronic pain is like being trapped in constant conversation with the biggest bumptious bore on earth; just keeps going on, won’t let you attend to anything else or exit the conversation
