"Sanofi on Thursday said it’s planning to cut the U.S. price of its most popular insulin drug by 78% and cap monthly out-of-pocket costs at $35 for people who have private insurance starting next year.
In addition to its widely prescribed Lantus, the French drugmaker will reduce the list price of its short-acting insulin Apidra by 70%. Sanofi already offers a $35 monthly cap on insulin for uninsured diabetes patients.
The company is the last major insulin manufacturer to try to head off government efforts to cap monthly costs by announcing its own steep price cuts for the lifesaving hormone.
Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk made similar sweeping cuts earlier this month after years of political pressure and public outrage over the high costs of diabetes care. The three companies control over 90% of the global insulin market.
... The change takes effect Jan. 1.
President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act capped monthly insulin costs for Medicare beneficiaries at $35, but it did not provide protection to diabetes patients who are covered by private insurance.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent and the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, introduced a bill earlier this month that would cap the list price of insulin at $20 per vial.
Both the president and Sanders on Tuesday directly called on Sanofi to slash its prices after Novo Nordisk announced its own cuts that day.
Roughly 37 million people in the U.S., or 11.3% of the country’s population, have diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Approximately 8.4 million [U.S.] diabetes patients rely on insulin, the American Diabetes Association said."

With the end of season two comes a second redraw!
[Nov 2022] [June 2023] [June 2024]
#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#I was really looking forwards to this redraw - though the jump in skill isn't as dramatic as the last one I still am proud of my progress!#It's really incredible to look back on this last year and how much has happened since then.#Both in my personal life and this blog.#I started the second season while I was going through some pretty rough times and it truly kept my sanity afloat.#I challenged myself a lot more this year! And while it didn't always turn out the way I hoped-#-being messy and earnestly trying to do something different has been my favourite part of art.#There will always be a lot of room to grow - I don't think art and creativity has a ceiling.#I went from doubting that I was even an artist to joining a gamedev team as the lead artist! That's character growth!#Thank you all once again for joining me on this journey B*)#Thank you for all the messages and support you have sent my way these last 18 months.#I'm so happy to have been given the chance to create something for this community. You've given me so much and I am so grateful.#I'll take a little break to post some personal project stuff this week and resume season three after that!#Onwards to another season of silly (and sometimes serious) comics!

lmao i remember when i sent an ask asking about machete and vasco’s first kiss and now we have all these science experiments trying to figure out how they actually Do That and if they even can. nature is cruel and homophobic 😔
The power of team effort.
#yeah I think I remember that ask sorry I never got around to answering it#I have a little comic in progress about the first kiss scenario actually but it's got a number of pages#and I don't know when I'll manage to get it finished I'm so very slow at comic making they take so much time gosh darn it#answered#anonymous#own art#own characters#Vasco#Machete#sketches#wip

Am I so excited to finally be sharing this story that I made a cover image for it? You bet I am!
More info under the cut :D
A Lovely House of Bones is a story very much inspired by @tyranttortoise and her wonderful "Skeletons Squatters and the Landlady" because goddamn am I a sucker for tropes and found family and slow burns, and she inspired me to write my own take on the concept.
Chapter 1 will go up on Saturday July 29th, and I plan on releasing new chapters every other week going forward, so there will be something of a consistent update schedule (fingers crossed!)
I've been rolling this story around in my head for a long time, so it's so exciting to finally be putting it out into the world. I really hope you guys enjoy it! ♥
#undertale#underfell#underswap#sans#papyrus#alhob#goddamn#I'm just so excited#and nervous haha#writing is hard but these guys are my favorite comfort characters#I'm so excited to get to share my take on them with you guys#be warned!#there will be some content warnings as the story goes#so if there's stuff you're sensitive to#be sure to check the tags as the story progresses because I'll add to them as needed#but aaaaaaa excited

Hey there! Do you perhaps have more Tempest and AJ stuff? Maybe some headcannons? You've planted worms into my brain
But wait, theres more!!
#basically the story goes#after the visit to the kirin village#aj kept in touch with autumn through letters and their romance slowly began to develop#after a while autumn came to ponyville because she never really ended up reacclimating to her village#and she wanted to learn more about ponies#applejack invited her to stay at the farm and things progressed from there#for aj and tempest#after the events of the movie twilight still wanted to keep an eye on tempest#and tempest still had a lot of anger for the way she had been treated by the world#so twi was like “hey aj do you want to help her work through her lingering rage through exercise and manual labor”#and aj was like “YES MA'AM I'LL TAKE THE HOT CHICK”#and proceeded to flirt with her for the entire time she was required to be on the farm#and then once her time was up tempest was like “you know... i could stay-”#and there ya go#tempest and autumn werent dating at first but that changed after a few months#art#digital art#mlp#fanart#mlp g4#mlp fanart#my little pony#mlp tempest shadow#tempest shadow#mlp tempest#tempestjack#autumnjack#tempestblaze#?#if tempestjack is a rare ship that one us even rarer

................ he
#i feel like I posted this already but I also can't find it in any recent posts so...#......he#cats#EVEN if I did post it.. why not poast himb again? it's he#I'm like halfway through actually editing aforementioned costumes and stuff and i WANT to work on sculptures again and I have video#s and that worldbuilding slideshow and all of these things so hopefully like.. more usual stuff soon maybe.. to be posted#for now though yeah.. just cats#The end of the year is also when I panic about the passage of time and how little I've gotten done and how I will never actually be a#sucessful game maker slash author slash cat cafe owner slash set designer slash costume designer slash psychologist#who lives in like Scotland or somehting and also owns my own candle company or something ghbjhb#and will probably just be a mentally ill hermit recluse all my life who dies early of mysterious health issues with 5000 projects left#undone and blah blah the crushing weight of chronic illness and capitalism and so on and so forth#So then I scramble to get projects done to try and meet some goals but usually that means I scatter between projects#so it takes longer to finish all of them. Like instead of dedicating 8 hours to one thing and finishing it one sitting. I'll do 2 hours on#this then 2 hours on that then 2 hours on another things. so they all get done slower even though I'm still technically making progress on#them all. This is also a very poo poo pee pee stink brain way to work and is not like. the most efficent thing but it's just how my brain#organizes tasks sometimes lol#***#(<ignore this its part of an OCD compulsion lol. anytime you see me type three asterisks I'm not bleeping out a curse word#it's just a Special Secret Foolish Thing I Have To Do At Specific Uncontrolable Times When Brain Says So gbjhhj)#ANYWAY... eeeee#Still haven't resolved my mystery chest injury though so being at te computer for too long is also kind of achey-inducing#Better get over it though because I have like 30+ hours of slideshow vidoe to edit hahaha hee hee hoo!!!!!

Lockwood Manor - Master Suite
I started adding some decor to the master bedroom, and furnished the bathrooms.
#ts4#the sims 4#ts4 build#sims 4 build#ts4 interior#sims 4 interior#dnd extras#I had the build open literally ALL DAY today and was working on it on and off for HOURS. I made quite a bit of progress.#I have a bunch of other pictures but they're either of very unfinished rooms or just not the best pictures so I'll wait to post them.#or just take new ones later.#but I'm very proud of how this build is turning out!!!#I've never made a build this coherent before!!#like with a functional floorplan and all the rooms that a building/house would actually have...#and maybe eventually I'll give it an exterior too... that would be wild wouldn't it?

i don't remember how i stumbled across this interview but i've never seen anyone mention it so i'm dropping it here <3 it's a little dated but still like super valuable and a decently in depth look at higuchi-sensei's previous works and how she works and thinks as a mangaka... personally i think it's the most i've ever learned from an interview of hers. super interesting stuff :0)
#oofuri#higuchi asa#yuku tokoro#yasashii watashi#kazoku no sorekara#tw: suicide mention#and maybe i did jump out of my chair at the yuku tokoro mention. but i'll never tell#i love how she says basically u can't truly know a character without getting to know their family as well. a story progresses best this way#that's why she draws everyone's parents and siblings so thoughtfully in her work#wow and also.#that line abt how - after yasashii watashi - she received a letter from a fan saying it'd helped dissuade them from taking their own life?#and i think she says: 'and I remember thinking that maybe I drew this work because I wanted this answer' (?????)#very much used a translation app but#i respect her so much#pls skim if you'd like#ok one more. the line at the very end ->#'when they [abe & mihashi] met they both had their complexes. but after spending 3yrs together theyll arrive at....?'#ok well. boyfriendhood. next question.#she's so embarrassed at how long oofuri is taking her wkjakdjkjsd queen lift ur head...#i think she says something like 'homosexuality alcoholism and physical disabilities are all subjects I wanted to depict but it might be -#misleading to say im attracted to them' abt yuku tokoro. which i think is epic bc i take it to mean like. she wants to#represent these themes w/o fetishizing them#but she drew yuku tokoro first AND THEN had to go looking 'around the world' for somewhere to publish it bc it wasn't 'commercial'#so she just wanted to write it...........her mind....................... ok my god i could talk abt this forever

Hi Foap
#Ash this is specifically for you because i never actually drawn Mr Vibe and you made me realize that#so this is what a ca. 20 minute sketch looks like now#which isn't entirely bad#mind you it is a disproportionate and he lacks actual facial features so that makes it easier to be fast#funny how i never drawn him despite the fact that there is hardly a day this man isn't in my mind#but still a few months back this would have taken like half an afternoon#so this is what i'm talking about when i say i see my progression#i can do a quick fairly decent thing so much faster than before and if i'd give this an other half an hour it could be actually good#which is kinda insane for me actually#today is a good day and i'm so stupidly proud of my self so please let me have this moment#i'll be back to my regularly scheduled self hate in a minute but i am taking this win because it is a win#simon ghost riley#ghost#cod#levynn tries to draw
