L'Occitane got me with a sale a few months ago (got hand and foot cream because they DO last). And I did get a stuffed croissant and pretzel at target... And I ordered fried rice without soy sauce because it'll be at least 2 meals but is about the same price as my taco place. đŸĢŖ

Medically, my autoimmune disease is easily managed with synthetic thyroid hormone. Functionally, it's like giving iron supplements to someone who's anemic. It's a cheap drug. Been available for years. And yet, I know I'd be screwed in an America without the ACA

I don't need a sugar daddy as much as I need someone who will, without question, buy me tacos when I've had a bad day because my assay failure at work today nearly brought me to tears and my heart wants tacos but my wallet can't afford to buy tacos every time I have a bad day (most days)

The pre-existing conditions, good lord. I was in high school when the ACA passed, so I was old enough to embrace what a big fuckin' deal it was, to quote our current POTUS

I don't know life as an adult without the ACA. But I do know that statistically, my autoimmune disease (autoimmune hypothyroidism) puts me at risk for others, and insurance would use that knowledge against me in a world without the ACA.

Ok seriously though not only was the experiment a bust, I had such horrible GI symptoms overnight that had I not known better, I would assume I was glutened. (I cannot be glutened due to being wheat allergic and not celiac, which is a technicality, & I know i used safe flour because it's ALL I GOT)

I actually don't think the babies sang, it might have just been the goblins singing about eating them? But I watched and I forgot there was singing and then went OH NO loud enough for the dog to excuse himself to another room

Do you need a singing report? The first episode has singing (HORRID, THE WORST), and then there's one with a music demon that understandably has singing, but it's not too bad from there on out. I'm with you, I can't do much singing, and it needs to be relevant when it's there

I worry that Rogue in the latest season might blossom into Harkness 2.0 and I really hope that's not the case. Something about him makes me feel like he's meant to occupy a similar niche

It sounds like it was one of those things where you twist just a little too far and feel something pop/snap. Which makes me feel pretty good about her prognosis!

Honestly when I heard ER I freaked but then I realized that's where x-rays AND MRIs live. It's more access to the right imaging equipment than anything else.

Zissou would also like to say that he asked to go look at the fireworks we could hear from my balcony, which makes him perhaps the only dog in America who is a fan of fireworks.

Apparently there's locally acquired dengue in florida and ya girl worked in a dengue research lab so here's my hot tips: -use repellent (DEET, oil of lemon eucalyptus, etc), wear long sleeves -tip and toss, be super vigilant about litter, the vectors only need a bottlecap of water to breed

Nominating Zissou to be a supreme court justice, he's a shelter dog who now has TWO titles from the American Kennel Club, which I think is pretty cool.

I think it's possible to vote for Biden while continually yelling at him to do a better job, because what else am I going to do? I want everyone to have a safe place to live but there's a genocide in Palestine and a war on women's rights in America

Okay who knows stuff about orchids, I have one I think is dying after I already lost one earlier this month? One of the leaves is getting spongy, and the one I lost the leaves went spongy then yellow then 💀. Repotted back in May, it's a mini phal, went from the 1.5" it came in to a 2.5" pot.

Is Trump not also going to continue to support Israel? Neither option is great and I hate that I really only effectively have two options and they both involve genocide.

I know who I'm voting for but like. How can anyone be undecided. Both choices aren't great but one is objectively worse in SO MANY capacities than the other.

Alternatively, sometimes your gluten free friends have ADHD real bad and will forget their own buns and then have to eat a loose hot dog which never looks great, but the important thing is that a grilled hot dog is delicious, doesn't matter how you eat it
