Cis allies, here's a super simple way to support trans people - and you don't even have to talk to anyone on the phone!
Just add a public comment saying medical care for transgender people is essential and should not be banned from ACA plans.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

Doctrinally correct on all points, no notes.
Part 1 of my Catholic Hymn Tier List is up! I made mid and high tier available to paid subscribers as a treat for sticking with me through my Mexico hiatus, but the honorable mentions and low tiers are readable by all. Let us pray.

If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back.
The only way out is to strengthen ties with people outside of the relationship who can create new, better options.

If you fancy a wicked treat for the weekend… LONG LIVE EVIL has been chosen for a Kindle Daily Deal! The promo will run 03/14 only, so today you can have assassins, playboys, vixens and musical numbers for $2.99. But… *coughs* I get it if not! #booksky

This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

just fyi this quietly happened at the end of 2024 during the biden administration. congress could have passed a longer term extension of the ARA and they did not. i absolutely agree that this is going to kill people and that is on both administrations’ hands
Medicare will no longer cover most telehealth services as of April 1, 2025.
This change is going to kill so many immunocompromised/disabled folks who now have to risk infection from multiple ongoing pandemics and widespread viruses just to receive healthcare 😤

I normally would not play this card, but today is my birthday. What I wish for most is for everyone who can, once on every device they have, to hit this link to vote for ASISTA to get a #P4A2025 grant. That's it. Takes under 5 seconds and will save lives! It's just a vote--no email, nothing.
ASISTA needs your help more than ever. ASISTA is the charity I've been telling you about that helps persons without documentation who are victims of domestic and sexual violence. Here is a FREE thing you can do! Vote for ASISTA at #P4A2025!

okay, so. i have bipolar disorder. we have a suicide rate of about 1/5. i've basically spent my entire teenage and adult life trying not to kill myself. so with that in mind, here are my tips on how to hang in there: 1) don't isolate. i know all the excuses. but don't do it
