It's crazy to realize how insanely competent I am. I can pretty much do anything, I think.

Sherry on X: "You repeat what you don’t repair and you transmit what you don’t transform—that’s why weaknesses we haven’t mastered or fears we haven’t conquered create patterns overtime (Eg. Certain things become “triggers”). When we anticipate danger that hasn’t happened yet, that’s anxiety." / X
Brian Goldstone on X: "Carole and her kids were sent home, and she was taken off the waitlist for a donor match. Her doctors have promised to appeal @Cigna's decision next week. In the meantime, there is concern about the cancer spreading. If that happens, a transplant will no longer be an option." / X
Carole, a cancer patient and single parent, was denied a previously approved double lung transplant by Cigna right before the surgery, causing public outrage and leading to a promised appeal by her doctors alongside a social media campaign urging Cigna to reverse their decision.
