#so i'll take the progress

"Sanofi on Thursday said it’s planning to cut the U.S. price of its most popular insulin drug by 78% and cap monthly out-of-pocket costs at $35 for people who have private insurance starting next year. 

In addition to its widely prescribed Lantus, the French drugmaker will reduce the list price of its short-acting insulin Apidra by 70%. Sanofi already offers a $35 monthly cap on insulin for uninsured diabetes patients.

The company is the last major insulin manufacturer to try to head off government efforts to cap monthly costs by announcing its own steep price cuts for the lifesaving hormone. 

Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk made similar sweeping cuts earlier this month after years of political pressure and public outrage over the high costs of diabetes care. The three companies control over 90% of the global insulin market. 

... The change takes effect Jan. 1.

President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act capped monthly insulin costs for Medicare beneficiaries at $35, but it did not provide protection to diabetes patients who are covered by private insurance.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent and the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, introduced a bill earlier this month that would cap the list price of insulin at $20 per vial.

Both the president and Sanders on Tuesday directly called on Sanofi to slash its prices after Novo Nordisk announced its own cuts that day.

Roughly 37 million people in the U.S., or 11.3% of the country’s population, have diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Approximately 8.4 million [U.S.] diabetes patients rely on insulin, the American Diabetes Association said."

Am I so excited to finally be sharing this story that I made a cover image for it? You bet I am!

More info under the cut :D

A Lovely House of Bones is a story very much inspired by @tyranttortoise and her wonderful "Skeletons Squatters and the Landlady" because goddamn am I a sucker for tropes and found family and slow burns, and she inspired me to write my own take on the concept.

Chapter 1 will go up on Saturday July 29th, and I plan on releasing new chapters every other week going forward, so there will be something of a consistent update schedule (fingers crossed!)

I've been rolling this story around in my head for a long time, so it's so exciting to finally be putting it out into the world. I really hope you guys enjoy it! ♥

kind of a slow year for art—didn't find any new interests to obsess over 🤷 but i did participate in artfight for the first time, i really worked on my anatomy and colouring process, AND i hit a lot of real life milestones (graduation! hormones! living alone!), so I can't complain too much. happy birthday to me and here's to a new year 🥳

sometimes someone will reblog my "silver lied in the finale no idea abt what tho" post and their tags all full of #flinthamilton angst and i just really am forcefully reminded that even though we all watched the same show . we did not in fact watch the same show. like yes their affair is basically what set the whole plot in motion and i really love thomas as a plot device but i do have to confess that idc abt thomas as a person at all lmfao

ive been gone so long! What happened to TRT??!

YOU'RE BACK, YESSSS, OH MY GOD, I'd wondered where you'd gone but didn't know how to check! I'm happy to see you again!

Nothing's happened to TRT, fortunately! It's still going, and we're up to Chapter 156 at present. I'm also 50k words away from that special shiny 1 mill wordcount! If I had to separate it all, I'd say it's about 5 books long now.

Got Charlie to hold the other end of a red thread at a con this summer for our photo! It is now proudly framed on my wall!

I threw a couple funny TRT-related buttons and stickers up on Redbubble for a few who requested them.

There WAS a large delay in posting just after I met Charlie in June, since I wound up getting covid which took me out for a few months chronic illnesses are lovely. Still recovering and my heart's fucked up, so updating is a bit slower, but it's still happening! Latest chapters posted about a week and a half ago. <3

Meanwhile in the past year, I: lived through the worst blizzard in my city's history and got stuck in my house for about 5 days, got covid from removing my mask for a photo with Charlie at a con, wound up sick with it for a couple months which led to some long covid symptoms and my heart being fucked up - that second one prompting an ER visit and a scheduled visit to a cardiologist in a week, discovered my elderly cat has cancer and is also some sort of mutant with unidentifiable cells that the doctors want to study after his eventual death, had a massive leak in my dining room ceiling that turned into a huge hole because apparently there was a pipe no one ever bothered to replace in the years this house has had plumbing cause that thing was ANCIENT, but I got to meet Charlie and my friends at the con in June, so I got that going for me, which is nice!
