Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.

idk who needs to hear this but a lot of jojoba oil is grown in israel despite jojoba being from the sonoran desert and initially used by natives. bison star naturals is a native-owned company that sells jojoba lotions and while the owners of sweet p's are not native to my knowledge, the jojoba is arizona sourced and you can pick their stuff up THROUGH the native seed bank which supports efforts to collect preserve and give native seeds back to indigenous communities. i bring this up bc ive been using jojoba to work on my nail health lately lol

Escape screen time, rearrange furniture, open all the windows even if it’s cold, drop the baggage, drop the stuff piled up in the closet, drop the clothes I haven’t worn since 2019, go outside every day, breathe fresh air, stay out until it gets dark, feel the sun on my face

🚨 Urgent Appeal: Help Us Escape the War 🚨

Greetings,

My name is Mohammad Abu Swierh, and I’m reaching out to you from Al-Nuseirat, Gaza, where my wife and I are raising our three precious children: Mira, Bakr, and Maria. Our lives have been upended by the relentless conflict that has plagued our home for over 11 months. 💔

The daily reality we face is beyond what words can express. We live with constant fear and uncertainty, and our once-comfortable home has been severely damaged, leaving us to grapple with unimaginable challenges. My children have been deprived of a normal childhood, and we now find ourselves in a desperate struggle for survival. 💔😞

After much thought and heartache, we have made the difficult decision to leave Gaza in search of a better future for our children, a future where they can grow up safe, free from the shadows of war. But we cannot make this journey alone..

Here’s how your support can make a difference:

$20,000: To cover the expenses of leaving Gaza and starting a new life.

$19,000: For a year’s worth of housing, living expenses, and other essentials.

$1,000: Approx. GoFundMe transaction fees.

This is not just about escaping danger; it’s about giving my children a chance to live, to learn, and to hope. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to a life of safety and dignity. 🙏

Your generosity can be the beacon of light that guides us through this dark time. Please consider donating and sharing our story with others who might want to help. 🌹

From the depths of our hearts, thank you for standing with us. ❤️🍉

i've been reading a lot of books about urban naturalism recently, and the one big thing they all talk about is how you HAVE to stop seeing nature as something that happens somewhere else. nature is not just charismatic megafauna and state parks and mountain ranges. nature is that abandoned lot that's growing native milkweed in it. nature is the murder of crows that lives in your block. nature is the moss growing on your roof and the dandelions growing in the sidewalk cracks and the song birds at your neighbor's birdfeeder. and you should care about it! you should notice it! that's YOUR nature!

On the Same Planet but in Different Worlds: Gazans are Humans Too!

Allow me to point out some of the blessings that people, unlike those in the strange scary world of Gaza, are inclined to take for granted and rarely do they reflect on:

Plenty of food, vegetables, and fruits.

Electricity 24/7.

Drinkable water 24/7.

No horrifying sounds of explosions, no head-splitting buzzing of Israeli drones in their sky, and no scary shaking of their houses because of the continuous bombardment.

No fear of ending up buried under the rubble of their cozy beautiful houses.

No scary thoughts about getting killed in an airstrike before drifting off at night.

Access to quality education for them and their children.

A plea from one family to another: kindly help me get my family to a safe place before I lose them forever. The situation in Gaza only moves from bad to worse. My family is stranded in the most hellish conditions ever, so I am dedicating to helping them evacuate to Egypt as soon as possible.

Join me in securing a dignified safe life for my family and a prosperous future for the children who have been deprived of education for a year.

Even worse, it seems they won't receive any education for another year at least as the ravaging cruel war continues and most Schools have been viciously and devilishly destroyed. Your support is a lifeline for my family and a chance for a better future for them. It is just too early for them to depart to heaven!

Please donate, reblog, and share.
