HORSE SHIT (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two months ago, in rationing, my pharmacy stopped giving patients a three month supply of estradiol patches, and I paid the copay for one box of eight. Okay, so it meant an extra copay when stock came in, but at least I wasn’t going without. A month ago, my pharmacy ran out of stock completely (and all the other patch strengths and patch doses, patches by all manufacturers) I’ve been coming to the precipice of applying my last patch in the box. Like many of you, I’ve lengthened the use time of e

I am in no way affiliated with The Long Term Care Community Coalition. They are just what their name sounds like and they are based in New York State.

Through this my attention is turned firmly back in the direction of creativity, and what I would like the next twenty years of my life to look like. This focus has me wondering how tenuous the balance is, because it seems unshakably stable. I am esteemed at work. I was promoted. The women to whom I report are experie

I am going to be sorry I started this post. I have to leave for work in one hour and a quarter.Finn is in his office, printing, folding, and stapling his zine. I should be helping but I have to resurrect any connection I have to the outside world via this idiotic platform and awaken the Freaks Independent Press. We’re headed to the seaside next week, and he is bringing a box of zine copies as well as stickers/patreon merch to plant up and down the beach library boxes. It has been so fun to watch
