@tom my brain immeditely: "let's get this brad"
@tom that's a lotta brad
Fediverse, TERFs, birdsite, block rec
Graham Linehan has set up his own fedi server, because people are making TERF hate speech so unwelcome on twitter. It's https://glindr.org/
Remember this if you see "glindr" popping up, and block accordingly
@tom "2 minutes left of pure brad" is a sentence that is somehow one of the most beautiful things I've ever read and I have no idea of the context of this because I've never watched bon appetit and don't know who brad is

private health insurance stuff
#PrivateHealthLIFEhacks actually we can think of a few notes, about prescriptions
get your prescription refills before it's super necessary if you can, so that you don't run low, and so that you have a buffer if you need to argue price with the pharmacist.
also: discuss prices with your pharmacist. ask if that's with insurance, for example. there are some things, like GoodRx here https://www.goodrx.com/ that provide free coupons that drop the price of uninsured medication by a lot, and sometimes, that price drop can literally be more than insurance saves you if you're able to be on private insurance. it's very good to keep an eye on if those or something similar will pop up local to you.
uk pol inspired private health insurance stuff over on twitter
over on twitter, Imani Barbarin started posting #PrivateHealthLIFEhacks, which is a hashtag for the disabled community in the US (mostly) to spread info about getting by with private health insurance

we'd defs recommend posting stuff here (we'd post things ourselves if we knew anything) and do check out the tag over on twitter
however, Skatebird looks fun as shit so I'm still probs gonna check it out, especially on Switch.
the Skatebird demo was really hard to control and I'm not sure if that's just me not having gotten to grips with this steam controller yet or what. also steam why is your layout weird for the buttons why this is very weird of you
so the System Shock Remaster demo is... good? but holy fuck none of the audio options work or do anything (including subtitles it seems) so voices get drowned out by the music and the fuckloud sound effects, there's no brightness options and everything is fucking pitch black, it's really unclear what you're meant to do to proceed and it's got massive performance issues even on lowest settings, but...
damn that's atmospheric and it looks good.

@anarchiv it always looks so wrong even when it's spelled correctly why is language hard ;w;
