I become more convinced every day that the worst thing that ever happened to workers was the idea of their employer (be they big company or civil entity or whatever) should be a benevolent bro, taking care of sick days and retirement and vacation and whatever for the 45 years you’re “of working…

My insurance company’s coverage of my birth control is laughably bad. It’s considered a “tier 3” drug despite there being no generic, so the ridiculously high co-pay is the same as the list price. There’s a “patient savings card” that saved me a lot, actually, and my old pharmacy had it on file for me. I lost the card when my wallet got stolen a few months...

We’re going to Blue Bottle for delicious iced coffees because it’s 65° today, and then we’re going to I Hate Perfume to pick out my Christmas present. We also got a new TV and last night we watched Aliens on Blu-Ray and it was awesome and gawwwgeous.
