Just to recap, the order of operations for American women is: 1) Learn a foreign language, 2) move abroad, 3) experience diverse healthcare systems, AND ONLY THEN 4) earn right to complain.

You know what you remind me of pal? The paid astroturf glyphosate fans who swarmed my tweets a decade ago.

my dad disowned me when I decided to be a writer and I was secretly supported by the entire Twin Cities reading public, and I'm forever grateful.

what I'm trying to say is that the Florida timeshare PR cartel has moved into other segments and it's going to make me return to quill and parchment

oh burn! You are such a good winner! Love it! Say something mean again! It's such good stuff. Women man, what losers. You're epic.

You work for Health Partners, right?

You win. You're the winner. You win everything. Young women should definitely not want to leave this for something better. We should stay an indentured class repeatedly bankrupted for giving birth to children and then supporting them through childhood. I'll let all young women know to not object.

you seem super dug in about ignoring my larger point.

I was charged $3K for an in-network mammogram after an in-house technician was sick & an out of network one subbed. I was charged $6K for kid eye exams when the doctor offered to add it to our check up. I got both of those reversed after months of fighting and paperwork, we live like crazy people.

beats me. I've only read about it. seems better than what I have access to, which is corporate pick-pocketing sometimes while you're unconscious. perhaps it sucks! I don't know if you get how terrible it is here.

isn't it about safety of the conductor? I wouldn't want to operate a whole train alone in NYC, that's a lot of risk and no one to call for help if you get attacked or have your own medical emergency?

okay. pick a different one. My sister received completely free IVF in Japan. Cyprus? I've had my entire life savings wiped out by completely routine having-baby-stuff twice. The United States healthcare system is a debt prison.

if you ever wondered if your actual name or just your husband's job would appear in the headline about your murder...
November 12, 2025 at 7:03 PM
and I bet their whole lives were business accolades of the murderer, and assumptions that her life was amazing because money, when she was walking on eggshells in a prison of domestic violence. I don't know how to end dark observations like this so sob send tweet
