Yesterday I posted on insta about how the only protein my son has eaten in 8mo of cancer and chemo is popcorn chicken from Romans Deli - no other will do - and they responded by saying he could have free unlimited popcorn chicken 😭 complete with a lil laminated card
three years ago today, zayn replied to liam’s comment on Instagram, marking his first public interaction with one of the 1D boys in years. 🥺
i wish i could live this again, i wish people had appreciated how important this was.
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.
He told me he’s not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really don’t.
I remember reading an article published right after her death calling out the public’s “mass hysteria” and that she would be rendered irrelevant by the end of the decade. And here we are, 30 years later, claiming new “people’s princesses” every week. Diana really was one of one.
Call me a hater, but if you owe a woman 5 million dollars for a sexual assault, then you should also OWE THE COUNTRY YOUR RESIGNATION FROM THE PRESIDENCY.
My wife texted me from work…
Her…Are you watching that new serial killer documentary on Netflix?
Me…I am…just started episode 3
Her…Great, pause it at 21 minutes and 8 seconds
Me…Ok, paused, it’s at the crime scene in the living room
Her…Right! Do you see the blood spatter on the wall near the fireplace?
Me…Yeah, it’s pretty gruesome
Her…Look just to the left of the fireplace mantle…do you see where the natural light is hitting the wall?
Me…Yes
Her…That’s the exact shade of sage green I want for the guest bathroom
