Do not use @XfinitySupport. Total thieves. I returned rental modem in 2021, they acknowledge that. However, they never took the $15/m equipment charge off my bill. It's autopay so I never look at my bill. I noticed yesterday-$630 in mistaken charges that they won't refund.

What the hell?? Men can now get erectile dysfunction meds over the counter but in some states women can not get lifesaving miscarriage meds even with a prescription?? Glad our nation values men's sex lives more than women's life lives.

I am so grateful for the bridge clinic @The_BMC. I feel lucky to work at an institution that is focused on the care of this marginalized population.
#BridgeClinics have been a critical innovation, lowering-barriers to #MOUD, other #SUD treatment and harm reduction services through on-demand care. We reviewed bridge models, evidence, and future directions @DrSarahWakeman @AlexanderWalley @drlaurakehoe

The US healthcare system is so messed up, and it starts with insurance companies that want to make a profit rather than provide care.

It amazes me that these groups are not always comprised of the same people. So many liberals have lost their logic over Covid.

I continue to be fully split on my Twitter feed between those who are solidly liberal, like I am, and those who are in favor of more sensible Covid policies than the cdc, like I also am.
