PS - Her name is Dust Bunny and she’s ready to find her family! animalhumanenm.org/adopt/adopta...

@darthbluesky.bsky.social the shelter where I volunteer is raising money to build new cat condos, so their temporary residents have the best experience as they await new their homes. This shelter is completely donation funded and they do amazing work. animalhumanenm.givevirtuous.org/donate/cat-c...

15 red beads for the 15 blood transfusions I received during treatment for osteosarcoma in my 20s, and I thank my lucky stars for the people who donated. Please, if you’ve ever considered donating, now is the time.

PS- anyone interested in taking hefty senior Skylar home with them? This 13yo, 20.5lb lover has been waiting several long weeks for the right family to come along. new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal...

Update @darthbluesky.bsky.social !! Our dearest Spooky went home with her new family yesterday! Wishing her the very best in her new adventure! Thanks to everyone who shared her!!

@darthbluesky.bsky.social sweet Spooky is 19yo & blind & looking for a loving home to live out her last days. She’s the gentlest girl, just needs a warm bed & a steady environment so she doesn’t take a tumble ☺️ AHNM offers free vet care for the first year, too! animalhumanenm.org/adopt/adopta...

Being a young adult cancer survivor means I had a bucket list early in life. After years of having “adopt a senior cat” on my bucket list, I can finally add a ✅ Meet Boo - 14yo, last cat at the shelter, and all he wants is snuggles and snik snaks. Happy to oblige ☺️ @darthbluesky.bsky.social

It’s not much, but from Albuquerque, NM I’m pretty excited!

Bobina update: She. Is. Home. The shelter has worked hard to find what works for this girl, & she has been matched!! Rubber mats have made her a walking machine. @darthbluesky.bsky.social is hibernating real soon so wanted to end the season on a high note! Wobbly, yes! Given up on love, no! Xo Bobs

Bobina’s in the Halloween spirit 👻 This happy girl is still seeking her family. This shelter is also now offering 1 year free vet services, in case you know of anyone able to welcome a disabled kitteh… she is truly the loviest girl. @darthbluesky.bsky.social animalhumanenm.org/adopt/adopta...

Bobina update (CW - wobbly kitty syndrome depicted): Still seeking her family, and trying a new accessible litter box. Cerebellar hypoplasia is no joke, but she’s the happiest girl as long as you provide 1, snuggles, and 2, wormies. animalhumanenm.org/adopt/adopta... @darthbluesky.bsky.social

CW wobbly kitty, but she gets around great, and never gives up for scritches and snuggles. Also, look at that foofy tail!

Meet Bobina. She has “wobbly cat syndrome,” a condition that affects her balance. It’s the only life she’s ever known, & is a happy, silly girl who loves snuggling. Sadly, she’s landed back at the shelter. Note: bored by health policy 😂 @darthbluesky.bsky.social animalhumanenm.org/adopt/adopta...

@darthbluesky.bsky.social drum roll… FRANKIE FOUND A HOME! So sad I won’t see that handsome face anymore, but he deserves all the love and treats and pets. Thanks everyone for following his journey, it was nice sharing him with you!!

- Undoc ppl can’t qualify for fed-funded health care - Doc ppl are eligible to *purchase* insurance but the admin is cutting who, like refugees & asylees, even more - Doc ppl have a 5yr wait for Medicaid - Dems want affordability & accessibility extended *for those who qualify.* THE GOP👏IS👏LYING👏

@darthbluesky.bsky.social update: So sad to report that Frankie is still @ the shelter today, 9/29. But that just means his fam is still out there! If you know anyone in the SW who wants a silly floof, check out his profile (he’s still open, give them a call!) animalhumanenm.org/adopt/adopta...

@darthbluesky.bsky.social can we all cross our fingers for Frankie today? He was in a house fire and has been at the shelter for many weeks. He’s such a love bug, he deserves the best family and I think they may have arrived today. I go back Monday and I’m hoping he’ll be gone to his forever home 🤞

Ironically, I’m celebrating my 14th cancerversary today - the day my bone tumor was cut out of my knee. And I prob wouldnt be here without leucovorin. Osteosarcoma patients depend on this drug for the best outcomes. The inevitable shortages will terrorize patients and even endanger their lives.

I read to the shy cats at the local shelter on a weekly basis and am training them to review their own health policy papers. Let us know if you ever need an expert paw!

TRIPLE vaxxed! So excited to get my COVID shot today, along w flu & tetanus (was due -every 10 years, y’all!). If you can, I highly recommend doing it now. I usually wait a bit longer, but ACIP (federal vax committee) meets next week, & we can’t predict what the RFK admin will do as far as access.

I live in New Mexico and people, on more than one occasion, have stopped me to tell me they like my tee. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

My Jack White… 10/10 anti-fascist.

There are 3 weeks between these 2 pics. In the 1st, I’m about to be uninsured. In the 2nd, I’m about to be diagnosed with bone cancer. Thanks to the ACA, I was able to join my parents’ plan and get the care I needed to survive some really crummy treatment. Happy bday to the law that saved my life.

Calling your senator WORKS (I don’t have one-taxation without representation, y’all) and only takes a few seconds. “Hi, I am a constituent from [zip code] and I demand Senator ____ vote no on the continuing resolution.” Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 will patch you through to the right office.

“This change will directly benefit people enrolled without subsidies who pay the full premium for their health insurance.” So less than 10% of enrollees will benefit. This will essentially kill the program 😞 www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...

Another .gov website DEI scrub victim: the HHS page on the ACA’s section 1557. The provision that protects against health coverage and care discrimination based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. www.hhs.gov/civil-rights...

175 questions Sen. Elizabeth Warren has for RFK, Jr. ahead of his (yet to be scheduled) confirmation hearing for Sec. of HHS. If only more of our representatives gave a damn like she does… Read all 175 here: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Obamacare just keeps on giving. 23.6 million people have enrolled in ACA marketplace coverage so far, with a week left before the deadline. That’s MILLIONS more than enrolled in all of last open enrollment period. Spread the word - if you’re not covered, 2025 health plans are available until 1/15.

New! Last night’s stay means DACA recipients can *still* get covered at HealthCare.gov. Now is the time to take advantage of access to health care.

Thanks to an extension, there’s still a day left to get covered for Jan. 1, 2025 via HealthCare.gov. Still have time until Jan. 15, but if you want a *full* year of coverage, sign up now!
