Imagine: you graduate from Seymour High School. Years later you end up on the bachelor. He likes you. He comes to your hometown. You take him to the John Mellencamp mural, he loves that you’re from a Small Town. He was Jack, but you were not Diane. You do not get the final rose.

Imagine: you graduate from Carmel High School. Years later you end up on the bachelor. He likes you. He comes to your hometown. You take him to the rock, paper, scissors sculpture off of Gray road. God he loves it. You get the final rose and win because duh you’re from Carmel

No, Lilly, the price for 7 vials of my Humalog is $2,267.99, making the price for a one month supply $756.

And I bring receipts, “plain and simple.”

[Laura Marston @Kidfears99]

Dear @SenRandPaul:

There is no supply and demand when we must buy or die. Insulin isn’t an iPhone.

We’re “angry” bc we’re dying due to inability to afford BASIC INSULIN.

Bigotry is bigotry. Was then, is now.

Good morning y’all.

Ralph Yarl. A 16 year old Black baby boy was shot because he went to the wrong door (as he attempted to pick up his siblings). He was shot in the head and again as he bled out on the ground.

His shooter- a white man- is free.

So many things I can say but for now- just extreme sadness. Gratitude that he’s still alive. Also- I’m tired of this shit.

Black boys deserve to grow up.

Black men deserve to grow old.💔💔

The only time in my life where I was showered with praise over the state of my body was when I was literally dying from an undiagnosed autoimmune disease… you never know what someone is going through. Kindness matters 🩷

[Laura Marston @Kidfears99]

Insulin is required for all humans to live.

Most people’s bodies make it for free.

Diabetics deserve free insulin, too.

Anything less punishes us for our unavoidable, incurable, lifelong illness, and holds our lives hostage for corporate profit.

Happy Monday!

[Laura Marston @Kidfears99]

Anyone claiming insulin manufacturers “need profits” on insulin, when they’ve been banking $25 BILLION a year on 25-year-old formulations of insulin we die without, can get bent.

Insulin should be produced and sold at cost. And should be free to diabetics.

Happy Friday!

is everyone getting more annoying or am i just getting angrier

To the ignorant, hateful people attacking Drew Barrymore because she had Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender woman and activist on her show, and showed compassion and love towards her, your children are watching:

- Your children will be undereducated and ill-prepared for the world if you hide reality from them.
- Your children will be hateful people who are at a disadvantage if you teach them that differences are bad.
- Your children will view you, when adults, as a likely bigot and hold you accountable.

I know a million right-wing, toxically masculine, nuts will reply to this post attacking me, a straight male, for supporting these TWO women. Guess what!Your attacks prove my point.

Thank you @DrewBarrymore for this amazing dialogue!

@stephmokube what a time in history!

non diabetics when they find out diabetics can eat sugar

[Laura Marston @Kidfears99]

The insulin I need to survive is priced at $2,267.99 every three months, only in the US.

Under the #InsulinForAllAct, the same quantity and type of insulin would be $140 every three months.

Let’s get it passed, @SenSanders @RepCori!!!! 💪💙💪

A good day to keep pushing for the improvement of research and care for women, girls, and all those who menstruate with #diabetes

Here's the media story.

LAPD is already blaming Anderson for his own death, claiming he was erratic and on drugs. The video footage doesn't lie. He asked for help, and they instead pinned him, cuffed him, tased him, & killed him.

How Do You Reform This?

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.

Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.

His crime—asking police for help.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!! 😩😩

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Starting January 1, seniors on Medicare can’t be charged more than $35 a month for a one-month supply of insulin.
