links 9/9/25

i've done this particular "make a list of the links i'm clicking on" thing... a lot of times. i've built a links page on my personal site. i've automated it so that pulls from raindrop for any link i've tagged public.

and yet i forget to do that most of the time, and so my links page stays with very few links. also i think that automation is broken right now idk.

but links are what make the web beautiful, and i spend my entire day browsing around. so i'm going to try again to document, share, list, write about the stuff i click through on the world wide web on a daily/weekly/idk how frequent basis.

Summary of HR1 and it's impact on health in the states: helpful summary of all of the health-impact changes in the bill, and how each state is going to have to respond. there are SO many programs in america for low income folks to try and bridge the gap, and every single one is being altered by this bill in the next few years

Anil is truly a fan of being a fan and will listen to you talk about anything if you are passionate about it. i speak from experience.

Millennial Cringe

Let’s say that a central premise of millennial life was that in exchange for accepting less—less money, less stability—one could stay young forever. Let’s also say that the inevitable collapse of this bargain has ushered in, among millennials, a period of frantic and doomed non-monogamy, dead-end psychedelic experimentation, and back-to-the-land reactionary psychosis.
