“They don’t get to be your identity landlord.”

I cannot separate the art from the artist, but I can separate my reaction to the work from the work. Whole thread is worth reading.

(But also, fuck off abusers.)

And if you came across their work when you needed to figure some things out, and you used it to do that?

You put in the work to build yourself.

They don't get to be your identity landlord just because you both see beauty in blue. They are smaller than the sky. 5/

love the small care but warmth of this question: “what small thing would help you right now?” hoping to bring this energy into my friendships.

signal boosting! can’t find the original alas but this version has alt text. #healthinsurance

This was boosted into my feed without alt text. I’ve added alt text.

It sounds like great advice if your health insurance denies a claim.

It took less than a minute to add the alt text. Please do this.
rahaeli on Bluesky posts: To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for: 1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary; 2) copies of all materials they relied on to make their determination; 3) proof the doctor making the determination has maintained registration in your specific state and documentation of their meeting all their continuing education requirements; 4) the aggregate rate at which similar treatments are denied vs approved by the specific doctor being used for peer review. You are not entitled by law to *all* of these things in most states, but you're entitled to some of them, and you can always ask for them. This is, she says, a wildly successful tactic, because if the insurance company answers them honestly, it gives you evidence that the "doctors" making these determinations are practicing medicine out of scope, without proper licensing and qualifications, in areas they are not competent in. Everyone knows this is true; it's not a secret in any way. But it's in violation of a number of regulations, and a LOT of times the company will just give up and pay the bill rather than handing you proof they're violating the regs. It's a tactic that has worked for me many, many times.
