After teaching for a few years I decided strict time limits on my tests were pointless. I started letting students take as long as they wanted, so long as the classroom wasn't booked in the next period.

I just wanted to see if they knew the material. I didn't care if they retrieved it fast.

Fortunately I can afford to pay out of pocket. I actually didn't give my insurance at all but the pharmacy, trying to be helpful, looked me up & ran what they found. I wish they hadn't. It's depressing to find out

T is totally covered under my plan for cis dudes, too, I checked

Nah it's fine, I've been paying out of pocket for years bc my last insurance wanted 2 letters from doctorate-level mh providers you had NO FORMER RELATIONSHIP WITH to testify your weren't crazy & you'd been 'living in your gender identity for at least 1 year'

Kinda depressing to learn from that preprint on hEDS that I'm at extra special high levels of risk of long Covid. I guess I'll keep up with the N95s

Not to mention in a public bathroom you touch the flush handle, the door handle, and god knows what else in there that all the other 40% of men who don't wash their hands touched

There are plenty of reasons to criticize Pete Buttigieg but his coming out journey is really not one of them
