Day: September 8, 2018

More great late night phone photography!

But, tonight’s delight: Another round of leftover spaghetti halfassed yakisoba. This time with some easy dragon noodle sauce, adjusted to taste with maybe half the sugar. And a good bit of garlic added.

It sort of blends in, but that’s probably 1/3 cabbage by volume. Cutting up veggies was the holdup earlier tonight, but I really needed more vegetable matter today. There was only a handful of frozen shrimp left, so I also used the chili flake egg from the second link. May use that again with some other dishes. Surprised I hadn’t thought of it before.

I was hungry enough by the time I attacked the first bowl that I forgot to add the green onion and cilantro on top. But it was a nice extra touch.

Overall, not bad at all for the effort involved. (Well, other than vegetable cutting 🙄) I hadn’t tried the dragon noodle sauce before, as popular as it’s seemed to be for a while–but, if it involves the rooster sriracha? Decent chance I might like it.

doctors: GOOD NEWS EVERYONE we have found a treatment for diabetes it’s called insulin! people won’t die from this illness anymore if we just give them insulin isn’t this great news?

united states of america: how about we make it so poor people have either limited to zero access to this insulin?

doctors: but don’t we have enough resources to provide for everyone in need of such a medication?

the united states of america: yes!

doctors: isn’t that genocide

united states of america: YES

united states of america fist pumping and chanting ‘U’ ‘S’ ‘A’:

capitalism is genocide

i usually don’t add to posts i reblog but as a type 1 diabetic this makes me so fucking angry.

i have an insulin pump. each time i change the port (basically what connects it to my body, similar to an iv) i use about a third of a bottle refilling the cartridge. i change it every three days, so one single, 10ml bottle of insulin lasts me around nine days.

i had to look this up because my parents don’t like to tell me how much my supplies cost. (for reasons like this. i feel guilty for my t1d. i shouldn’t have to feel guilty about an autoimmune disorder i was born with.)

you know how much it is for that one, single 10ml bottle of insulin, for those without any insurance?

$328.

for nine days.

$328 for a nine days supply of the medicine that i literally need to survive. the medicine that once i become an adult and have to take care of myself, i will have to pay for. the medicine that unless, by some miracle, they find a cure, i will need to take for the rest of my life. $328 for nine days of my life.

Near and dear to my non functional pancreas 

Fam, I am also type 1 diabetic. I also use a pump. I am preparing to go do fieldwork in Europe for nine months and insulin is perishable. I use a brand that’s available in Europe. The same vial that costs $300+ in the US without insurance costs €22 ($25.60) in one country and $10-15 in the other. Not with insurance! Cash. Roll up to the pharmacy and explain that you have diabetes cash price.

It doesn’t have to be like this. The US needs to start negotiating better pharmaceutical prices like every other country. Get some socialism up in this bitch.

Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.

I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.

The utility bill for September is in and I definitely do not have the funds to cover it this month, any help is greatly appreciated.

I also need to go buy stuff to make zucchini bread so these giant monster zucchini someone pawned off on my dad won’t go to waste.

i almost forgot this blessed video exists

Wait there’s another one of these

If memory serves, what happened was that someone took a video of a Ukrainian military band playing some other song and dubbed a realistic-sounding version of A Cruel Angel’s Thesis over it. This proceeded to be everywhere on the internet, enough so that the band that put on the original performance caught wind of it, and decided to capitalize on its popularity by actually performing the song. This video is the latter version.

Currently trying to convince myself that I do not need to spend £70 on Chucks. Limited edition ST collaboration or not 🙄

(Worse than I initially thought. At first I thought it was priced in USD, but nope. Even with the lousy exchange rates for a while now, that’s a significant difference. OTOH, that should at least mean less extortionate shipping on top of the £70.)
