A constituent called me to tell me about their son battling colon cancer. They're at the point where they need to start clinical trials, but none are available because of Donald Trump's cuts to NIH.

Jumping through hoops and bending over backwards to prove my insurance company paid my medical bills is fucking exhausting. And stupid. And if you aren't double and triple checking your medical bills, you may be paying thousands more a year than you should. Ask me how I know.

Does anyone here have any interest in buying a super cheap last-minute ticket to the Mom 2.0 conference (bloggers/content creators/influencers/etc?) in Orlando this week? I have a ticket I'm trying to offload.

A great summary of Illinois should you need to (and have the means to) find safe harbor within the United States
With every new hellscape that I read about in different states around the country every day, I'm reminded of this post that I wrote on Nov. 10, 2024.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Me to my medical provider the 30th time they've called to remind me or told me in person about about a balance due that my insurance company paid in full to them 2 months ago: if you call me again, I will freak the fuck out. Figure it out. Happy holidays.
