Hey, @scoots needs about $150 to cover the cost of a nerve test they need and their insurance won't cover. The nerve issue the test is meant to address (as I understand it) causes pain in their back and drawing arm, makes it very difficult to get things done, and measurably reduces their quality of life.
Would you please help out, by donating and/or boosting this post? Their art is beautiful and their commissions are open, if you'd like to get something back for your donation: https://ko-fi.com/bugpaws

A dear friend is opting for top surgery. Trying to make a care package for 'em - if you had a mastectomy pillow, would you be willing to talk dimensions with me? Lots of these are written by people who are donating them to cancer groups and I'm not seeing feedback from people who used them, and some of these measurements seem awfully one size, so I'd love to hear user input before I start sewing.

public health, immunocompromised and disabled, personal
I know I'm just one person, but if you're disabled, immunocompromised, chronically ill, or have a kid that can't get vaccinated --
I care about you, I hate the tone society is taking towards your health and dignity, and I'm going to keep doing everything I can, and nagging everyone else to do the same.
It's not my place to tell you that you matter, because of freaking course you do.
Nobody gets to decide this pandemic is over.
And until the FACTS and DATA reflect that it is, I'm going to be as responsible as possible. I value everyone's life.

US free covid at-home tests, Medicaid, +
Looks like Medicaid is going to be required to cover the free at-home tests.
I don't know whether it'll be covered up front or reimbursed. I'm going to call my Virginia Medicaid and ask how to do all this.
If you have Medicaid or CHIP, might try making that call yourself and see if you can get these.

Hey all, I have a sincere request. Please boost if you can.
I am helping some wonderful people in Merauke in West Papua learn more about their colonial past. I have always supported the Papuan people in their struggle for self-knowledge and freedom.
Could anyone who speaks Dutch please help me translate this text here into English?
I am going to then help translate this text with them into Indonesian. If someone knows how to translate Dutch into Indonesian, that would be just perfect!!
Again, please boost.

medical, transmasc advice needed, XX parts 
so tl;dr I have severe chronic menorrhagia for some reason and less-invasive treatments are not working. it's looking like I might need a hysterectomy. I am STILL not in a place quite yet where I can transition without possible homelessness but there is some potential leeway for lying.
I need some advice, please boost.
1) has anyone ever taken E in this circumstance? does dysphoria get worse?
2) can you take T and E at the same time?

Cold outside, meandering thoughts, winter clothes
@thegibson@hackers.town it was a good walk. Cold enough that the snow squeaked a little.
I was glad I had long underwear on. Thermasilk+polar fleece leggings+jeans is great. Also, Mongulai makes amazing wool socks. The gloves I wore were a bit thin, and I was only wearing a t-shirt and a flannel button down under my coat, so my elbows got a bit cold, but it was nice to get out.
Next time, I'll probably wear a long-sleeved knit shirt, too, and maybe switch to actually insulated gloves. It's starting to get cold, and it's nice to think about that. These were pretty normal temperatures for this time of year, growing up, and it feels nostalgic and comforting.
Have some pictures:
Cold outside, meandering thoughts
It is cold outside. I think it's about zero now, but that it was colder earlier.
I have been meaning to go for a little walk all day today, just to show the sky that I'm not afraid of it.
... But at the same time, I've been putting off my walk because I haven't found my favorite long underwear yet.
I'll update when I make it out, because I will make it out, and I bet you'd like little night pictures, even if they're a bit lame.
