This is what I want from a Jurassic Park situation. Not unrealistic movie monsters, animals being goofs

Raptors would have been really silly, this is my scientific opinion

And if you have rage , channel it into making your opponents have to fight for everything they want to take from you.

I hope none of you disappear in the coming days. Seriously don't do anything that can't be undone.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

That was masterful

Did I just employ the "Treat Them Like You are A Kindergarten Teacher Again" method with my insurance company today? I surely did. Did it work? Probably better than intended because I made an actual doctor feel contrite.

So, my insurance has been trying to not cover my SNRI because it is new on the market and no generic available yet, so pricey.

I apply for a refill and the request gets locked for review. Again. For the 3rd time.

This time I call and immediately ask to speak to the actual doctor making these clinical decisions. Very politely. Must be a slow day because they allow it.

ME: [Teacher voice] I'm calling in regards to the SNRI you have placed a lock on. Why was this decision made?

DOC: Well, there are dozens of other medications on the market in that tier, and far cheaper for you and [insurer]. We have sent a request to your doctor to consider alternatives.

ME: I am aware of that. So, can you do me a HUGE favor and look up my prescription history really quickly and tell me how many SSRIs and SNRIs were only filled once in 2022 for me, showing they were poorly tolerated?

DOC: It looks like eight.

ME: Great job! Now, can you please look at my genetic test for psychiatric drug tolerance and tell me how many medications are listed in the safe category?

DOC: Two.

ME: Awesome! Now, can you tell me what type that other drug is that I'm not taking?

DOC: Yeah, totally, it's an MAOI.

ME: That's correct, you're really knowledgeable! Should I be taking something as dangerous as an MAOI with my other medications, or even just in general?

DOC: It's contraindicated for sure.

ME: It is! So true! So, last question since you've been incredibly smart and helpful. Is it less expensive for [insurer] to pay out for the medication knowing they already get a huge manufacturer discount anyway, or is it more expensive for them to pay for me to need potentially long-term inpatient psychiatric care?

DOC: I'll clear the code, ma'am and flag it as medically necessary. I'm sorry about this.

ME: I appreciate you SO MUCH. You have a great day now.

We need Philza to play this

It seems to be a chaotic good time. Unless he wants to avoid giving chat new bad ideas

[neriedar]

Honestly, we need Philza to play Just Crow Things because honestly the gameplay I’ve seen it’s just crow chat chaos simulator. It’s just missing a bucket hat for the crow.

This is also true for being “ medically interesting “.

ADHD folks, listen up! Period time fucks up dopamine sensitivity in the brain so keep track of this stuff. Ask about dosing protocols to keep you from wanting to “get off the ride early “. If you have ocd , check if your cycle lines up with bad symptom days. ( I can track my irregular cycles by how bad the ocd gets, it’s wild!)

Update on the babies, all off to new homes in a different state.

And guess who finally fell into the orphan kitten rescue trope that vet technicians are known for? This fool that’s who. 3 babies just around 2 weeks old who’s mom had them in the hay piles next to the cow chute. Mom was found deceased this morning. We had been treating the babies in the nest for respiratory infection for a few days so , guess I’m mom for a bit.

Okay now this,

This! Is the kinda stuff we need to be doing about The acquired birdness coded cubitos. Like bodies built for flying are not just a set of wings. Honestly someone needs to do a fic where Mumza gives Phil his wings. Probably knocked the poor man out for the process. Jimmy and the canary curse probably no such consideration
