Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Peak validation: putting down the stack of boxes I was carrying to unlock the clinic door, and being complimented on my “perfect squat form” by a passing stranger who turns out to be a FedEx driver.

Hospitals that can afford Super Bowl ads shouldn’t be sending their patients to collections
So what do my HCW friends think about NYU Langone spending millions of dollars in the Super Bowl for an ad instead of say paying more to their workers or buy new equipment?
Good use of resources? 🤔

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

To that ICU nurse who taught me, then the intern, the trick of shoving cotton balls with a few drops of essential oils up my nose before tackling disgusting jobs: you have truly improved the lot of this family’s designated vomit fairy. (It’s me I’m the vomit fairy).

Ask me if I want to do an exercise with the 10 lb dumbbell or the 12 lb and I’ll choose 12. Ask me if I want 12 lbs or 15 lbs and I’ll also choose 12. Cause the 12 lb weights are a pretty periwinkle color. #doyouevenliftbro

You literally can't make a system better than the one that already exists for trans minors.
Which is why, when some cis people learn about this, they immediately either demand the impossible -- a zero error rate -- or jump straight to bans.
Which was clearly their goal all along.

United healthcare initially denied coverage for my daughter’s birth because she wasn’t named on the policy at the time of services. This is not a joke, this really happened.
