“Reveal that they’re transgender without their consent”? Seems pretty un-proud.

Also grow up and stop fetishizing caricatures of women

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

According to Kotaku, several transgender employees at Wizards of the Coast said the company used their legal names rather than their chosen names on voter lists during a union election, resulting in some workers being deadnamed in front of colleagues.

The list was shared internally, exposing some employees’ deadnames to coworkers.

Employees said the company apologized after complaints, but the same issue reportedly occurred again during the following week’s voting process.

One affected employee, Xib Vaine, said the problem was discovered when coworkers could not find employees by their chosen names on the list.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) allows the use of preferred names and does not require legal names. Employees also said Wizards of the Coast had generally been supportive of transgender workers in everyday workplace interactions.

Several employees said the repeated disclosure was especially upsetting because deadnames can reveal that someone is transgender without their consent.

Wizards of the Coast said it had provided legal names to the NLRB as part of the election process and acknowledged the emotional impact on affected employees.

you're about to pay that $14,000 hospital bill. Stop

call the billing department and say five words: "I need an itemized statement"

watch $14,000 turn into $4,200

hospitals don't send you itemized bills by default. they send you a summary. one line. one number. pay this

the itemized version shows every single charge. and that's where the scam falls apart

$78 for a single Tylenol you could buy at CVS for $3 $400 for "room usage" for a room you sat in for 12 minutes $1,200 for "physician consultation"

when a nurse practitioner spent 45 seconds checking your chart $250 for "surgical supplies"

when you got 3 stitches and a bandaid duplicate charges for the same procedure billed twice under different codes

hospitals get away with this because most people never ask. they just pay the summary or let it go to collections and destroy their credit for 7 years over charges that were never real

the call script:

"Hi, I'm calling about account number [X]. I'd like a fully itemized statement showing every individual charge, CPT code, and unit cost. I'm also requesting the chargemaster rate versus what my insurance was billed"

they'll push back. "we already sent your statement." no. you sent a summary. you want the itemized breakdown with procedure codes

once you get it:

step 1: google every CPT code on the bill. compare their price to the Medicare rate for the same procedure. hospitals routinely charge 300-800% above Medicare rates. you now have negotiating leverage

step 2: call back. "I've reviewed the itemized statement. There are duplicate charges on lines [X] and [X]. The charge for [procedure] is $1,200 but the Medicare reimbursement rate is $180. I'd like to discuss a fair adjustment"

step 3: ask about financial hardship discount. every nonprofit hospital has one and many for-profit hospitals do too. most require a simple application. income under $60K-$80K for a family qualifies at most nonprofit hospitals for 40-100% reduction. they won't volunteer this. you have to ask

step 4: if they won't negotiate, say "I'd like to file a formal billing dispute and request review by your patient advocate"

this triggers an internal audit. a different person reviews the charges. errors get caught. bills get reduced

step 5: offer a lump sum. "I can pay $3,800 today if we can settle this account in full." hospitals would rather take $3,800 now than send $14,000 to collections where they'll recover a fraction of the balance

and if it already went to collections? the collection agency bought that $14,000 bill for pennies on the dollar. they'll often take a fraction of the original amount to delete it and walk away happy

you were about to destroy your credit for 7 years over a bill that was mostly inflated charges
five words would have saved you

Since there’s so much confusion on Trump Accounts:

-Newborns get $1,000 that compounds until they’re 18, at which time, only the kid can access it.

-Kids 1-9 yrs old get $250 in seed money from the treasury dept, and the rest is the same.

-Kids 10-18 can still register, but get no seed money with everything else being the same.

-All accounts can be contributed to along the way.

-To register, you need to fill out IRS form 4547.

-When filling it out, if you have a newborn, you’ll check box III.

-If your child is not a newborn, but is under the age of 18, DO NOT check box III.

Folks, get them registered. If they’re under 10yrs old, it will be LIFE CHANGING for your kids.

The program officially starts July 5th, 2026, and you can either submit the form when doing your taxes, or through the upcoming portal that will be on https://t.co/e8JkC5dU7b in the next couple of months.
