"Effective January 1st, 2027, the Federal government will require some adults to complete work requirements to keep their Medicaid coverage. Most adults ages 19 to 64 must now complete 80 hours of activities each month to keep their Medicaid coverage."

Hi! My name's Nadi, and I spend several hours every day aggregating news and science before updating the archive. If you appreciate the effort, please consider sending a tip! At the link below, you can find several options to shoot me a little fundage. All procedes go to keeping me fed, housed, and HRT'd, and keeping my cats and dogs fed and happy. I don't expect to make a living wage on the kindness of strangers or anything like that, but the tips really do help keep me financially afloat as I continue to seek better-paying work in these trying times. (This is especially tough as a trans woman living in the South)

Hey folks, I've got some good news. We were able to secure a source of rent for Falestine, and she can now stay indoors instead of in a tent. However, her struggles are far from over: she still has to face high food and daily costs, and with the low volume of donations lately she frequently runs out of money. Again, I know times are tough, but please, if you can spare anything at all, donate! especially if you can sign up for a recurring donation so she has a guaranteed income she can rely on, it would be extremely appreciated! Thank you all so much ❤️

I am injured and unable to afford her treatment. Please donate and don’t leave me to watch her die in front of me.

What’s going to make you happy right now? Is it some cake? Is it a nap? Is it calling your mom? Is it going on a drive and blasting music? Is it taking a bath? Is it reading a book?

I use this with my hospice patients a lot. Because “is there anything I can do to help?” rarely gets a response. But, “I’ll be here till 6:30 and would like to do one thing to make your room more comfortable before I head out” frequently does get an answer. Often something they deem “too small to bug anyone with” like closing the blinds so there’s no reflection on the tv, or repositioning their socks because the heels have wandered into the front and are uncomfortable, or they want ice cream before dinner today, or getting an extra blanket.

“Is there something I can do to help?” = binary question. Only possible answers are “yes” and “no”, and people are waaaaay more likely to answer “no” (in all circumstances)

i was so moved by this picture i had to draw it

Can I get help with $20 for bus fare this week? Please and thank you 💙
