Insulin Rationing/Uncanny Astrology with Zoe Witt (Mutual Aid Diabetes)

Zoe Witt (Teen Vogue, LA Times) has written pieces I've loved about living with diabetes in the era of insulin price-gouging. "Insulin Legislation Is Leaving Out Many Diabetics: What to Know" is a great intro to an issue that makes its way onto Netflix and comedy stages despite 99% of people having no clue of the real stakes. Zoe's also an organizer with Mutual Aid Diabetes (MAD), a volunteer-run resource hub connecting diabetics of all types with vital medication, supplies, and information they need to stay alive.And hey, Zoe has a need right now! Bell's palsy symptoms are keeping her from working, so she needs funds to keep her housed and healing. I've donated $10 to Zoe's Venmo. Can you match or exceed me? Email [email protected] with what you donate, and I'll report our total next week!
