Vivaldi has an explicit anti-AI policy. It is built on chromium, though, so the ad blocking isn't as robust as Firefox and Firefox forks.
I also use Firefox but you do have to do an about:config edit to turn off ai. (Some Firefox forks are less AI-y.)

I like Tidal! You can import your spotify playlists and it's very similar in functionality.

Oh yeah it's even harder on iPhone because of their browser rules! Exhausting. I don't know why the AO3 doesn't let you save your search parameters, which would be game-changing.

Yeah, I do this but it's a pain to set up
(Firefox for android -> install violentmonkey for android extension -> install ao3 savior and ao3 savior config, add your blocked tags to ao3 savior config)

If that's too much trouble to figure out, I have used GoodRX for this before - they do a discount program for commercial pharmacies e.g. www.goodrx.com/conditions/f... . They'll list which pharmacy chain offers what price. (Costco is also cheap but iirc requires membership.)

An HRSA-funded health center typically has free or low-cost vaccines (but you usually have to call to figure out the details). There's a list here: bphc.hrsa.gov/about-health...

I have a stock of the patch and I could mail you a couple if you want to just try them out - I buy them in the big container to make that somewhat more affordable

Yes, a common brand is 3M Medipore and it will say "hypoallergenic."
You could also try a non-latex bandage & see if you react to it; I don't know what your other latex exposure is but you can also develop late-in-life latex allergies, and there are cheap non-latex bandages in every drugstore

Sadly as far as I'm aware almost all bandaids use very similar adhesives.
Patch bandaids use a different adhesive, which I personally don't react to, but they're expensive.
You can use a skin barrier film below bandaids (but not over the wound). Or gauze + hypoallergenic tape (annoying).

I wasn't there but her coworkers eventually convinced her to get the post-exposure prophylaxis herself and then her vet had to report it to the state and her dog (who had long-lapsed vaccination) had to get post-exposure vaccines AND do a bunch of monitoring AND be quarantined and etc. Poor pup.

A rich woman I worked with ages ago had this opinion and it was exhausting. She fed her dog only wild-killed meat because it was "natural."
Then she and her dog were both possibly bitten by a bat, and she didn't want to report it because she thought they'd make her dog get post-exposure vaccines.
