Chicago Pride Pharmacy is a critical access point for patients with HIV in Lombard, but they're getting hit hard by pharmacy benefit managers.

Unfairly high prices from PBMs have put a strain on them and their customers.

It's past time we reform their unfair practices.

Nauseating to read this stuff after a campaign where elite outlets worked overtime to sanewash Trump as a rational choice for voters who were mildly inconvenienced by egg prices

Surreal being a trans person on this website this week. Every single one of my trans friends is making emergency preparations in case Trump bans our health care while fighting off existential dread and depression, and 99% of the cis people i follow seemingly have nothing to say about the trans EOs.

If there’s some person in your life that liked reply all and you think they’d also like Hyperfixed, it would mean the world to me. Discoverability in podcasting has never really been great, and the only surefire way I’ve found to grow audience is to get stories on other shows.

Cis people are routinely surprised to learn there is a carefully thought out, evidence based, many layered system requiring multiple points of consent, including parents, already in place to protect kids as part of gender-affirming care for minors.

They keep demanding what already exists.

I left Twitter around 2 years ago, very reluctantly. It’s been so fun to find so many of my former favorites on here 😭🙌

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.
