If you are subbing to a patreon, make sure you do so through their desktop site!
Also, money received through the app is witheld from the creator for 75 DAYS. So not only are you as a member being charged extra, the creator has to wait 2.5 months to get it. It's bad for everyone. Sub through the mobile site or desktop!
If you want to support someone on Patreon, make sure Apple doesn't steal your money! Subscribe on the website, not on the app.

Reminder: economic blackout today.
🦬 We are also participating in today's #EconomicBlackout.

Beyond today — we should all keep the energy and wean ourselves off the corporations such as Amazon and Walmart that are hellbent on destroying our planet.

For now, we suggest some #ForestBathing instead.
We've agreed to avoid shopping today. Instead we could spend some time among trees. Perhaps we can use today to begin a long-term movement against our consumer culture. It would be beginning for the Earth and for our souls. What are you doing today?

Job loss can be a major form of trauma. If you’re in shock, feeling untethered, or worried about your life situation, finances, etc. please reach out to a friend, family member, someone in the community, or a hotline/chat to connect and talk about it. Dialing 988 is a good place to start.
On the HHS Leadership call today: 1 employee from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Service) and 2 employees from SSA (Social Security Administration) have died by suicide after their firing.

I had to see this, and if you haven't already (or even if you have), you do too.

There is NOTHING NORMAL about this.

There is NOTHING SANE about this.

There is EVERYTHING to be worried about with this.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

I wrote in @theguardian.com this expansion on an earlier Substack post, on the powerful role of public shaming of health insurers, and how the more fragmented social media landscape makes it harder for patients (and physicians) to hold health insurers accountable. www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...
My $30,000 health insurance claim was denied. Then I tweeted about it
Public shaming works – but it’s also a sign of how broken the appeals process is in the US health insurance industry

As federal research grants continue to be frozen, and NIH staff is being gutted, please note this study was funded by federal research grants, including from NIH. If they continue with staff cuts, and continue to freeze new awards, this is just one example of what we lose.
THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

One more time, because I’m not afraid of being fired from the VA - and I will NOT let this go quietly.

TELL YOUR STORIES! Post on social media, write to local newspapers, talk on the radio. We are real people who do real good for the country we love. If you’ve been fired, don’t go quietly. If you haven’t, hold the line as long as you can.
