Anyone on any of the weight loss drugs?
  • (I’ve had gastric bypass - 2001- and then a revision - 2021. Surgery never worked for me.)

    I went from semaglutide to tirzepatide and now retatrutide.

    I took retatrutide since last year. I’m currently on a maintenance dose to prevent regaining what I’ve lost since I’ve hit my goal.

    I thank the gods every day that I found these things and have access to them.

  • Supreme Court, for Now, Keeps Block on Revamped Biden Student Debt Plan
  • 13 federal circuits.

    There should be 13 Supreme Court justices.

    Each justice could be responsible as “executive” of their circuit.

    12 associate justices for the 1st through 12th circuit.

    The chief justice is assigned the Federal Appeals Circuit.

    It makes way too much sense.

  • Supreme Court, for Now, Keeps Block on Revamped Biden Student Debt Plan
  • You can’t change the number of justices on the Supreme Court.

    Except that you can.

    And they did. Eight times.

    1789 - six justices

    1801 - reduced to five justices

    1802 - restored to six justices

    1807 - seven justices

    1836 - nine justices

    1863 - ten justices

    1866 - nine justices

    1867 - eight justices

    1869 - nine justices

  • STORY TIME:

    I have one of the most expensive cats on earth.

    I recently paid ~$15,000 to have a pacemaker installed in my 4 year old shelter cat.

    She started getting very clumsy and I noticed her getting dazed more and more often. Once I brought her to the vet, I learned that she had a congenital heart condition and her heart was literally stopping for seconds on end causing her to pass out (literally dying in front of me for seconds at a time.)

    I couldn’t let her die. I adopted her during covid and could not have survived the pandemic without her.

    I am blessed in that I could afford something like that and it wasn’t even a question of whether to get her the procedure. I would have gone bankrupt if I had to choose.

    I hate that people will have to make that choice (it’s not even a choice as most people could never afford that) so after my pet insurance reimbursed me back ~$13,000, I donated it to the hospital as a grant specifically to be used towards any feline cardiac procedures that couldn’t be afforded.

    Every morning we sit together while I have my coffee and I thank the universe for letting her be there with me in that moment.
