Denied for lack of funds, not lack of pain!. Content Warning.
This piece was born from a moment too familiar to too many when systems fail, but pain persists. “Denied for lack of funds, not lack of pain” is not just a title; it is a testimony. It speaks to the quiet battles fought in waiting rooms, on hold lines, and inside bodies that carry more than they are allowed to claim.

The Fascist Facebook Regime: Going to Jail and Getting Sprung
I have just been released from jail, Facebook jail that is, and for the moment, I’m free. There is nothing that rings my bell quite like the smell of cowardice. Rattling the cages of the patriarchal elite sends energy through my system like the sweet rush of an adrenaline-fueled adventure.

SpaceX launches Crew-11 astronauts to the ISS for NASA on milestone Crew Dragon flight (video)
SpaceX launches NASA's Crew-11 astronauts to the International Space Station on a historic Crew Dragon flight. SpaceX successfully launched NASA's Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station (ISS), a significant accomplishment for commercial spaceflight and international cooperation. This mission is yet another milestone in the Commercial Crew Program, a partnership between NASA and SpaceX that has revolutionized American space access since its inception. On a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the Crew-11 mission took off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Crew Dragon spacecraft, which was given the name "Endurance" and had already completed multiple missions to the ISS, was perched atop the rocket. The reliability of SpaceX's reusable spacecraft and booster systems, which continue to set new standards for cost-effective space travel, was reaffirmed by the successful launch. There are four astronauts aboard this mission, three from NASA and one from an international partner agency. Commander Michael Barratt, a NASA astronaut with two previous space missions under his belt, is in charge of the mission. Pilot Jeanette Epps, who is making her first spaceflight following years of training and delays, and Mission Specialist Matthew Dominick, a member of NASA's 2017 astronaut class, will be traveling with him. Completing the international team is Koichi Wakata of Japan’s space agency, JAXA, a veteran astronaut with several ISS missions to his name.

While the mainstream press obsesses over Taylor Swift sightings and celebrity divorces, global agrochemical giants like Monsanto (now Bayer) continue a far more dangerous charade: manipulating the media, co-opting science, and rewriting reality to defend products that have quietly sickened the planet for decades. This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a well-documented, well-funded strategy of control—backed by court records, whistleblowers, and a trail of digital fingerprints.
