PRE EXISTING SHIT
Recently a friend of mine told me he found out he was going to be a Dad. I said, “OMFG homez, I am so pleased congrats.” He is married to a lovely GEMSTONE and this was a good thing and a good time. Then he told me that their health insurance wasn’t covering the medical costs of having the baby because they said pregnancy is a “prexisting condition”. I said, “Of EF NO”. But it is. It is. And that’s wrong beyone wrong. There’s a whole situation out there with Health Care and that we’re pretty aware of but MY LADIES MY LADIES MY LADIES we have our own seperate battle/bone to pick.
Go here to email CONGRESS. Obviously.
WOW. WOW. WOW. this is NOT okay. so the insurance companies can say bc i’m a female and have a uterus with ovaries that getting pregnant is a “pre-existing condition”? that could not be a bigger crock of shit. how fucking infuritating.

vonnegut's short: "look at the birdie"
“Too bad it is, indeed, my friend,” he said. “And not just for us, either. This is a sick, sick city, with thousands upon thousands of mentally ill people for whom nothing is being done. Poor people, lonely people, afraid of doctors, most of them — those are the people I was helping. Nobody is helping them now.” He shrugged. “Well,” he said, “having been caught fishing illegally in the waters of human misery, I have returned my entire catch to the muddy stream.”
thank you LA times. could NOT be more timely of a publication.
AB: Why do you shoot Polaroid, and will you continue shooting in the same style once Polaroid is unavailable?
MK: The Polaroid question is something that I have tried to explain many times. There are always a few points I come back to as the basics of shooting Polaroid’s. I started doing it cause it was just really fun and there is not much else that compares to a Polaroid in terms of quality. Not many things look like they do. Also there is the act of taking a picture and then holding that picture in your hands as it develops. There is something very scientific about Polaroid’s to me, sometimes it feels like I am just collecting specimens while I am out traveling and then when I get home I sort through them. Now as I have been doing this for so long my ideas about the process have grown.
I think in a world of digital photography Polaroid’s become so much more important and powerful. A one of a kind photograph doesn’t happen all that often, even before digital you could make as many prints off the negatives as you wanted, with a Polaroid there is just that image, it’s one of a kind. To me they are like little paintings. Also it’s interesting to think about that Police and Insurance companies used to use them for evidence because they were unmanipulatable, what you shot was considered to be a representation of the truth, which I don’t think can be said for much photography the way it is used today. We constantly are question whether the images we see are real or if they have been altered somehow digitally. With a Polaroid that isn’t really a question, it just is. via
exactly.
