Home insurance in areas hit by repetitive disasters is going to be the number one housing affordability issue over the next 4 years. And possibly going into the midterms.
More so than interest rates. Florida in particular is going to have huge problems.

Here in Florida we have a housing crisis of our own - developers are building affordable homes all around, but many are sitting empty because people can't afford the necessary home insurance.

We must be both pro vaccine, because vaccines are effective and necessary for public health, and advocates for public health that puts patients and communities at its center, with interventions helpful not coercive, part of truly humane, collaborative systems.

The 2018 SCOTUS decision affirming “crisis pregnancy centers” right to place ideology over patient safety is morally bankrupt.
The 9th Circuit will hear McDonald vs. Lawson 7/17/23. The question at hand, “Is it okay for doctors to knowingly lie to patients?”

As a heavy reddit and twitter user for a decade the loss of both in such a short time as open and reliable services is really upsetting. Feels like the open internet at all grew up with is descending into terrible walled gardens with everything else being seo and ai slop.

This is normally the chillest place on earth. I think your message landed wrong and the wheels fell off that bus right after. Maybe step back, read the comments when emotions die down, and try again. They are really awesome people.

if I ever call anyone by their name in public, it's not because I'm "microcheating" it's because I'm really proud of myself for remembering someone's name for once

As of today, there are 162,624 users on Bluesky.
While that seems pretty cool, there is a town in Queensland, Australia that is called Gin Gin.
In Gin Gin, there is a Gin distillery.
Gin from Gin Gin is most certainly, Gin Gin Gin.

In all seriousness, telling Americans not to worry about their privacy when the DNI's own hand-picked panel has highlighted very serious privacy concerns is gaslighting in its purest form.

The anti-science RFK Jr. pushes is part of the larger anti-truth of fascism pushed by Bannon. It must be called out for exactly what it is.

My favorite is the one who helps make that platform stronger in its trust & safety aspects. Still hoping to find something more hospitable for patient advocate/clinician cancer communities on Twitter 🙏
