And for funsies, I decided to see what other plans they offer, aside from the ones I was already comparing for 2026.

Prescription drug coverage is the biggest reason why Medicare Advantage makes more sense than Original Medicare + Part D. Why would I choose the "No Rx" plan? ROFLMAO 😂🙃
Screenshot from Medicare website of the CDPHP Core (HMO) Medicare Advantage Plan. The primary focus is that the plan costs $15/month for only health coverage, while the total cost of premiums + prescription drugs would cost me $72,024.41 if I had to pay the full cost of my prescriptions! I circled the amount in red and drew three red exclamation marks on it.

My pain clinic's Halloween display is better than yours.
A sign that says Margaritas hangs over a table with multiple carved pumpkins on it. One pumpkin has berm carved and painted to look like a margarita. Another has bees affixed to it to represent migraine pain. One pumpkin looks like an eye with a smaller pumpkin inside as the iris. One pumpkin is screaming with a needle sticking out of it. The last pumpkin has an intricate crescent moon carved into it.

Being chronically ill is a full-time job, and disability benefits don't even pay minimum wage for most people even if we were to limit the "work" to 40 hours per week instead of the 24/7 lives we live.

A thread 🧵

On the left, a woman in a foggy room extends her hand through a small hole in the glass, palm out. On the right, the text reads, "Chronic illness is a full-time job, y'all."

"The gods had come back to save the Earth... from the devastation humanity had brought upon it."

But what happens when gods disagree? And what happens when a trickster decides to act alone?

A story of survival in the endless winter they created.

Got myself a physical spellbook for our #DnD5e campaign because I can no longer read the spell cards I have even with my reading glasses on.

I figure that Book's handwriting can get messy sometimes because her half-Tabaxi hands sometimes fumble with her quill. (In-character reason for messiness!)
Photo of interior pages of the soft cover journal I am using as a spellbook for my DnD character named Unwritten Book. Pages include doodles in the same black gel pen ink. Photo of the interior of my spellbook with a description of my character's new magic item, Warden's Embrace bracers.
