Today insulin is capped at $35 for those on Medicare. Democrats unanimously voted for this, yet so-called "pro life" Republicans unanimously opposed.
There are MILLIONS of people w/diabetes too young for Medicare.
Insulin needs to be free & accessible for ALL. #MakeInsulinFree

If you're driving, the Roadtrippers app has some nice crowdsourced info re: attractions & sight seeing on your route. I use it for route planning. I can't vouch for all their data policies, but they use MapBox instead of Google Maps.

That movie was a ton of fun. Pun intended. ๐

My political ideals are closest to nonviolent anarchism. But I recognize that few westerners are willing to relinquish property. I don't think distributism is a magic bullet for inequity. But it might be progress?

@drifthood
Sure, I wasn't proposing an ideal (not even close tbh), but rather a smaller change. One that allows folks to keep their private property, while also distributing power downward.
@ajroach42
There is a theoretical form of capitalism called "distributism" which is basically this same idea: many small organizations working together is more resilient than a small number of behemoths.
I heard about it from GK Chesterton fans some years ago. I'm not sure of its origins, or if it has ever been practiced for real.

Also, โIf you are harmed in a way that can never be fully repaired, you are never obligated to forgive. โฆ Trauma? Never.โ
@TheRaDR
This conversation was so what I needed to hear right now. Especially: "Sometimes forgiveness is wishing that rotten S.O.B. peace, and getting along with your life." (Weber? I think I heard as the citation?)

We donโt really know how to fix harm.
We ask folks whoโve been wronged to forgive but rarely ask wrongdoers to repair.
@TheRaDR@twitter.com is sharing a 5-step process to repair relationships & what to do if you want to make amends.

@adamasnemesis
So much this. We chose to homeschool not because it's convenient or easy (it's not), but because our own mass education experiences were traumatizing. So why would we put our kids through that?
Add in the weekly mass shootings at American schools, and to hell with that noise. (Yes, I recognize that I have the privilege to make that choice.)
@folduptoys
@folduptoys The only reason mass schooling is even tolerated at all is because its victims are children and young people, i.e. demographics whose lives society believes don't really matter.
