Today’s #1000postcards is the ever popular robin. Singing through the depths of winter which brings us joy.Fiercely territorial and loved by gardeners. This bird will follow you in the garden as you work hoping for the uncovering of earthworms & other delights. Ours love mealworms and grated cheese

The Dunnock may be a common bird but it’s still very beautiful when you look closely at its feathers. Here’s my portrait of one in watercolour from my #1000postcards artwork, depicting the biodiversity of my land, 700ish done so far & still so many waiting to be painted

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

How to Fight Your Health Insurance Denial with an External Appeal

When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

Getting started on a project like that is usually the hardest part. Learning new tricks can be exhausting.

Yes. When rape is shrugged off as “weather” or “God’s plan,” secrecy follows. Files stay sealed to guard power, not people. Our anger is knowledge; our silence won’t protect us. Name the harm. Release the records. Fund survivors. Prosecute predators.

Meme titled “REPUBLICANS ON RAPE:” showing six GOP figures beside quotes:

Clayton Williams (R-TX): “Rape is kinda like the weather… relax and enjoy it.”

Todd Akin (R-MO): “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to shut that down.”

Rick Santorum (R-PA): “Rape victims should make the best of a bad situation.”

Richard Mourdock (R-IN): pregnancy from rape is “something that God intended to happen.”

Jodie Laubenberg (R-TX): claims ER “rape kits” are for “getting cleaned out.”

Lawrence Lockman (R-ME): argues if abortion is legal, why can’t a man force sex.

What’s happening in America certainly has a lot of parallels to what happened in Germany in the 1930s.

I am not saying that Trump is Hitler, but fascism usually follows the same path at least to some extent.

The warning signs are here.
