Happy Friday folks. Stay happy. Life is more fun that way.

who else remembers the entire Doctor Who crew dancing to 500 miles with David Tennant because it’s the purest thing you’ll see today

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

U.S. sales of the 20 top-selling drugs totaled $101.1 billion in 2020, while sales of these drugs to the rest of the world totaled only $57 billion, highlighting how Americans massively overpay for drugs, a new Public Citizen report found.

Some drugs saw greater disparities than others. For example, AbbVie earned $16,112,000,000 from U.S. sales of the autoimmune drug Humira, compared to $3,720,000,000 from international sales, or more than four times as much. For 17 of the 20 top-selling drugs worldwide, Big Pharma made more from U.S. sales than from sales to all other countries combined, and for 11 of the 20, U.S. sales revenue was double that of the rest of the world or more, the report found.

Additionally, 11 of the 13 pharmaceutical companies selling these top drugs made more money in the U.S. from these drugs than they did in the rest of the world combined.

The analysis offers a glimpse of how much these businesses benefit from the American health care system overpaying for drugs. The U.S. is one of the only high-income countries not to negotiate the price of drugs. Granting Medicare the authority to push back against pharmaceutical company profiteering would mean an end to decades of overpaying for medicines and would save the U.S. billions of dollars.

“This eye-popping rip off Big Pharma is getting away with is an insult to the American people,” said Rick Claypool, a Public Citizen research director and co-author of the report. “Empowering Medicare to push back against inflated drug prices is the responsible and commonsense way to stand up to the industry’s greed – which, certain members of Congress should be reminded, lawmakers in both parties have been promising to do for years.”

Last week, we learned that Merck is planning to charge Americans 40 times its cost for a COVID drug whose development was subsidized by the American government. The situation spotlights two sets of facts that have also gone largely unmentioned in the legislative debate over whether to let Medicare negotiate for lower drug prices.

Fact one: Americans are facing not merely expensive drugs, but prices that are examples of outright profiteering.

Fact two: In many cases, the medicines we are being gouged on are those that we the public already paid for.

The audacity of this story oh gosh. SUCH happy and sad tears all in relatively short yet decadent morsels.

PHEWWWWW

*Welp* I hate myself: 17 x Dramione 🙃

I mean, you asked for it, ok? (Also I cheated, this is 250 words!)

They came for him at dawn.

Aurors in scarlet robes, the colour of blood and passion, marring the cool, perfect green of the Manor gardens.

She reached down for his hand, and he gripped hers a little too tightly.

The lead Auror stepped forward, brown eyes wary. The Ministry had wanted it to be Harry, but he’d refused.

‘Time to go, Malfoy,’ the Auror said. ‘Say your goodbyes.’

His grasp on her hand tightened, and they turned to one another. He reached up, gently wiped away a silent tear.

‘Please don’t be sad,’ he whispered, and kissed her before she could reply. She kissed back, tasting the salt of both their tears on his lips. Her heart beat desperately against his, horrified for what was about to happen.

‘I love you,’ she managed, as they broke apart. ‘Always will.’

The Auror took another step forward. ‘That’s enough now. Take him away!’

Two more came forward, grabbed his shoulders, started to pull him backwards. She didn’t release his hand, didn’t look away from his silver eyes.

‘I love you, too,’ he said, fingers twisting in hers as the Aurors pulled him backwards. ‘More than you could ever know.’

She surged forward, wanting to keep hold of him, to keep him forever, but the lead Auror placed a heavy hand on her arm, held her back.

Draco’s fingers slipped away, and Hermione fell to her knees in front of the empty Manor.

He would receive the Kiss, as the clock struck nine.

Hermione: How do you feel about kids

Harry: They’re okay I guess. If I saw one I wouldn’t t throw a rock at it

Hermione: Why… why would you throw a rock at a child

Harry: I just said I wouldn’t-

The wrong Dodo went extinct

And sometimes it will be a slow, steady flicker that neither lights the way nor plunges you both into darkness.

What matters is recognizing change is the only constant and love, true love, is finding comfort and a desire to exist with someone through each unexpected shift.

You are all worthy of this. Keep attracting it and it will come. 💙💕💕💥

Happy Star Wars Day!
