Destroying my home's "resale value"* by painting it in colours that only I can love.

* Painting your home fun colours will not destroy its resale value even if you do care about that. Your home's value is primarily derived from its location and the structure/materials of the building itself. Paint your home however you want and if you do choose to sell it to somebody with better taste then repainting can be their problem.

This kitchen is going to be So Orange,

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Took this photo to show you all that it is indeed So Orange but. I guess this shows how light can affect a photo because. I did not change wall paints.

[produdfctititty]

Oh shit this is looking SO GOOD Derin!!! Renovation win! (Part of the colour change will just be having the huge amount of white paint affecting colour balance in the photo too)

Gonna splurge on average floor tiles instead of el cheapo floor tiles I think, because then they don't have to be slate grey. Gonna lean into a cream colour if I can find an affordable one. Might even get them in two colours and do a pattern.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#derin I think that cream + avocado floor tiles would look good with the orange

Ooh there's an idea. I'm building all the shelving and cabinetry out of pine (we grow it here), except for the half-refurbished benches you see in the pic that are made from a deconstructed home bar, so my priority is something that goes well with stained light wood. This could be a good combo, I have to see what tiles I can get cheap though.

its so awkward when people ask me why i dropped out and i have to be like "inadequate disability support" bc no one wants to hear this. they're always like i thought they had to provide that though isn't it the law? girl you might want to sit down i have some bad news about the litigation-based enforcement of the americans with disabilities act

then if i do say that theyre like, couldnt you sue? well theoretically maybe but not without spending more money than i have and putting myself through absolute hell. so no. no i can't.

Covered in Theory, Denied in Practice

My Five-Month Battle for Reimbursement of a Covered Expense

Hey! One of my partners wrote a really good blog about fighting with Cigna.

My insurance plan covers laser facial hair removal as a gender-affirming procedure for transgender people. My partner, a trans woman who is on my insurance, got this procedure done, and getting it reimbursed was like pulling teeth.

Representatives of my health insurance company, Cigna Healthcare, told me falsely that my plan didn't cover the procedure when I called them to ask about my claim. Even after I got my employer's Human Resources department involved, Cigna continued to lie to me and deny my claim despite the terms of my plan. It took me five months, 12 phone calls, 3 emails, and an HR ticket to get my claim reimbursed.

[facelessoldgargoyle]

Currently, most people get insurance through their employers, because it's much cheaper than buying insurance on the open market. The insurance company's revenue is determined by their relationships with employers, not patients. In other words, the employer, not the patient, is the customer.

This is why I had to contact HR in order to get any meaningful progress on my claim. When the employer is the customer, the employer must be involved in any claims process complicated enough to require human judgment. This means the patient must disclose private medical information to their employer, which can expose them to discrimination. I was lucky in this case, because I'm already out at work and the procedure wasn't for me, but I still had to pass personal medical information through a member of my employer's HR team. If I were a trans woman getting my own laser reimbursed, this process would have forced me to out myself to my employer.* Ideally, there would be no such thing as employer-sponsored health insurance at all.

*Applications of this dynamic to other types of claims, such as disability care and fertility treatments, are left as an exercise to the reader.

crossposting this meme from a discord server lol

[prokopetz]

Blackout poetry exists on a dual axis from "banal" to "insightful" on the input side and "kind of deep" to "incredibly fucking dumb" on the output side, and while taking something banal and producing something kind of deep is well and fine, for my money taking something insightful and rendering it incredibly fucking dumb is where the real art is.

#i stuck the word 'banal' in there twice specifically so that 'anal' would be low hanging fruit#but i genuinely did not anticipate 'banana' --@prokopetz
