Updated my profile byline because I got into it with someone over being adopted. I know there is a lot of trauma, and my heart goes out to everyone who has suffered.

But there are positive stories too.

Mine is one of them.

Fun! I went to an art talk tonight at Jonathan Carver Moore’s gallery. The talk was w/ artist Auudi Dorsey; MoAD curator Key Jo Lee, and curator and activist Mattie Loyce.

His show opens on October 8th. Go! I also noticed he has a couple of paintings in progress. I love sharing works in progress!

Anyway, seems like the white community should really do something about all this white-on-white crime.

I fed the clowder as I usually do. Here is their noble leader, Void: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6vmaMDa/

It took me longer to get the food out because I took out the trash and compost first. Void was like, “Speed it up!” I eventually got the food out. Time for have a cup of tea and pay attention to this ...

Massachusetts is outdoing other states because they are the first to require insurers to cover the cost of COVID shots and other vaccines recommended by state health officials.

Vaccines are not accessible if they are unaffordable. Every state needs to follow their lead!

This notice provides guidance from the Massachusetts Division of Insurance (DOI) and Department of Public Health (DPH) to Carriers about Massachusetts guidelines for vaccines, and to clarify the DOI’s expectations regarding coverage for vaccines within Massachusetts-issued insured health plans. Under the provisions of M.G.L. c. 176O, §6(a), and the DOI regulation for Managed Care Protections and Accreditation of Carriers, 211 CMR 52.00, in 211 CMR 52.13, Carriers are expected to provide clear explanations within Evidence of Coverage materials to persons covered within Massachusetts-issued insured health plans about benefits for vaccines. The DOI also expects other Carrier communication materials to impart clear information about vaccine coverage.

Coverage for Vaccines
Carriers are expected to provide coverage for all vaccines and the cost to administer vaccines, without cost-sharing and without the use of any utilization management, for persons covered under Massachusetts-issued insured health plans who satisfy the recommended guidelines established by DPH for the provision of immunizations in Massachusetts. Carriers are expected to update all Evidences of Coverage in accordance with 211 CMR 52.13, and to make clear in all online information how eligible persons may access covered benefits for vaccines.

Carrier products with prescription drug formularies may limit access to vaccines to those specified on their plan formularies, provided that there is at least one product on the plan formulary that will address each item on the DPH recommended guidelines for vaccines. Health plans that offer non-emergency coverage through a closed network of providers may limit access to those health care practitioners or pharmacies that are part of their closed networks.

If you know your stuff going in, it's bad, but it's not awful. I've managed a pretty smooth ride. It's one of the few times I'm thankful to have type 1 diabetes. My endocrinologist knew exactly what was going on, and suggested menopausal hormone therapy, which is better started in perimenopause.

Regina Walton @reginawalton.bsky.social · Sep 1

Not related but this reminded me to switch to a new estrogen patch. Thank you. I was about to lay down for a nap. But first, let me switch this patch. The menopause phase of life requires a lot of patience and assistance. 😭🫠

Apple stores which devices/users install which apps. They have the device IDs. US government could obtain a list of people who installed the app if a court authorized it. Not clear what they mean by having to storing device IDs. Those IDs aren't accessible to Android apps.

ICEBlock Official @iceblock.app · Apr 17

Sorry, there will not be an Android version because there is no way to provide 100% anonymity. Each person's device ID would have to be stored and that information becomes discoverable should the government issue a subpoena.

Only iOS made this possible and completely protects the users.

Not long ago, MAGA would have said you're supposed to shoot masked guys in keffiyehs who attack you on the street and try to abduct you.

Hell, they even screamed "terrorist scarf" and threatened to boycott when Rachel Ray wore a keffiyeh-inspired wrap in a Dunkin' Donuts ad!

That’s the thing. They’re surprisingly completely unaware that everyone has one or more cameras on them at all time now.

It's been so nice to see all of the peaceful No Kings protests today.

Great job, everyone!

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.

ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.

Let’s start there.

Hey, fellow Asian So. Cal Fam: ICE is visiting local Asian grocery stores like HMart and 99 Ranch - just heard this from a local contact.

Please be careful AND please take this as a sign - this impacts us too. Call. Protest. Donate.

This woman was trying to go home, and an officer shot her with a rubber bullet at point blank range. They have protocols for this like they do for natural disasters to determine who should be in a particular area.

LAPD is just out here firing at people. So who is violent in this situation?
