Real-Time Fandub | Gravity Falls, "The Last Mabelcorn" (2018) TW: Death mention

[us-being-us2]

Immediate Need: I will have to purchase the items needed for the Disability-Inclusive Family Fun Day (which is a free community event but accepts good-will donations as a service dog fundraiser and has a silent auction as a service dog fundraiser) out of my limited Social Security and the few hundred dollars I've managed to save up for the service dog by March 4th, as well as pay for the venue by that date, and I'm still hoping to get some business partners, financial donations, or donations of the items needed for the event before that date. Please donate or like/share this post if you're able to. Donate at https://zekesservicedogfun.wixsite.com/zekesfundraiser or the links listed on the site.

Possible Changes to HIPAA – What’s this RFI All About (A Summary)

I am writing this because YOU have an opportunity to get involved here. You have the opportunity to submit comments in order to protect your rights under HIPAA.

Folks, the organization that enforces HIPAA is considering some changes to policy that could really jeopardize folks with mental illness, addiction, and other marginalizations.

If you’re able, please take a little time to learn, share, and take action.

The short version: these changes would let doctors exchange health information about you without your consent (for example, your GP could find out you have a mental illness and become biased), or your family members could be told you’re in treatment for something like addiction.

The linked article is very detailed. For an easy-to-digest summary and instructions on how to comment, check out this Twitter thread from Matthew Cortland.

Submit comments here. The deadline to submit comments is Feb 12, 2019.
