Update: Within an hour of posting this thread, a representative from @Cigna called Carole to say they were aware of her situation and would be "escalating" her case.

So the public pressure seems to be having an effect. Let's keep it up.

A thread about our depraved healthcare system, and a plea.

In 2021, my friend Carole was diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer. A single parent with two kids, she had just turned 43. In 2017, she had watched her brother Chris die of the same cancer. He too was in his 40s.

Read the full interview with anthropologist Amanda Stronza on her practice of creating intricate memorials for animals killed on roads and what it has taught her about how we understand death and experience grief.

"Conservation scientists write about populations or species in decline. I write so people may see, feel, and care for animals as individual beings."

@AmandaStronza shares a gallery of memorials she has dedicated to #animals killed on roads and sidewalks.

@bjkingape I could only hope to follow your lead 💛

[Dr. Amanda Stronza @AmandaStronza]

I’m never here. Should I come more often?

[Dr. Amanda Stronza @AmandaStronza]

@ClaudioMilano10 Ok, this is a start 🐼💛

@jeffrsebo And while we’re on this, what about the term nonhuman? Suboptimal still always…

Hoy en el #DíaDeLaVidaSilvestre quiero recordarles que es necesaria la #PazAmbiental para la protección y conservación de todas las especies en el #Planeta 🌍🌍🌍

Dear @NASA, these monkeys did not deserve to be killed (no way is it 'euthanasia'). 27 monkeys killed on a single day and 21 with Parkinson's? Clearly, these #primates were used and discarded. #animals #animalrights https://t.co/vZGXXmRdR1

Hiii 👋🏾 I’m Taylor, a PhD student studying plant-microbe interactions. I’m a plant lover—yet I like to infect plants w/ bad bacteria🦠🤔 The interplay between plants and their pathogens is super interesting! #BlackBotanistsWeek

I work on plant traits that are important for seasonality in Africa. I am trying to find out when these traits evolved and whether this could be linked to the origin of wet-dry seasonality in Africa during the Miocene. I also love the outdoors. #BlackBotanistsWeek
