- prohibit former members of congress from becoming lobbyists for five years.
- prevent hospitals from charging more than doctors’ offices for identical outpatient services.
- establish a voluntary program helping employers provide paid family and medical leave.
- require publicly distributed AI deepfakes to be labeled as AI-generated.
- cap prescription drug prices based on prices in other developed countries.
- prohibit hospital facility fees for outpatient clinic services and telehealth visits.
- require organizations spending on federal elections to disclose major donors and identify sponsors of online political ads.
The Red Rising plot/summary doesn’t do it any justice.
I thought the plot sounded mid before I read them. They’re just insanely good books though and prob different than you’d think based on the plot summary.
If you have any testosterone in your body you’ll love them.
@scliest got to the third book in the poppy war trilogy solely bc i was committed to finishing what i started, and hoped that maybe it got better. it did not, and that commitment has been depleted i cannot do it 😭
when i hear people talk about what Nurture means to them, and how it’s affected their lives, i can’t tell you how happy it makes me..
i feel understood in all the ways you would hope for as artist; like my exact feelings have reached people, in the exact ways i wanted while making it.
as a listener, i'd always wondered if my favorite artists could feel what i feel when i listen to their music; with Nurture, i’m CERTAIN that’s happening. i’m CERTAIN that you and me are feeling the same things when we listen to Nurture.
it means a lot to me because that highly clear, unambiguous transmission of feeling, where very little is lost or misunderstood along the way, is what i'm always striving for as an artist. it's rare for me and precious to me
happy 5th anniversary to this album. thank you to the people who love it... i hope people will continue to feel what i felt for many years to come
Today, while billionaires have never had it so good, 60% live paycheck to paycheck.
We can no longer tolerate a rigged system that lets billionaires pay a lower tax rate than average workers.
A tax on billionaires will help create an economy that works for all, not the 1%.
