I'm never going to finish this one because I just can't seem to get the face right

WIP fic art back from when I wrote Definition of Insanity flower scene

Initially, I was only going to do Sportacus/Íþróttaálfurinn, but it got out of hand — Robbie just means so much to me 😭

Doing this though made me realize how much I missed traditional! It's a lot more challenging, but it's so much fun. .. . .

wow okay i didn’t know i could do this but yippeee, these are my little thoughts about the society of fairies and elves, i believe that our boys have ranks and they wear these signs at important meetings

and the reference, i love it

If you’re in the LazyTown fandom, you’ve probably come across this image of Stefán in a car with a rainbow flag on it, hittin’ us with that thumbs up.

I need to let you all know that this is NOT Stefán participating in a pride parade in Iceland. 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this was taken at a Reykjavik Marathon that took place on August 24, 2013. He was spreading awareness for his anti-bullying organization. It’s called Regnbogabörn, also known as Rainbow Children. That’s why there’s a rainbow flag. 

I am of course NOT implying that Stefán doesn’t support gay rights! I am simply correcting everyone who is misinformed about the photo. I did see another photo of him on a rainbow carpet, and I’m not sure about the context of THAT photo. Maybe he is supporting gay rights in that one! 

I am extremely certain that there is no way Stefán doesn’t support the LGBTQ+ community. He is a good boy.

Okay, but you’re wrong. Yes, that is his organization called rainbow-children, but they’re actually marching in Reykjavík pride 2013.

The picture is literally taken from an album at Steinunn’s facebook page called ‘gay pride 2013′

They rented a car and walked in the parade, like a lot of organizations in Iceland do. So, yeah, it is from Reykjavík pride.

ok if you’re still not convinced, here’s a video of reykjavík pride parade 2013, Stefán’s organisation appears around 2:30, you can also enjoy the then Mayor of Reykjavík in drag at 0:45

A big cost and concern for many seniors in the U.S. is the price of prescription drugs and other healthcare expenses—and this year, thanks to The Inflation Reduction Act, their costs may go down dramatically, especially for patients fighting cancer or heart disease.

I learned about the new benefits because my ‘Medicare birthday’ is coming up in a couple months when I turn 65. I was shocked that there were so many positive changes being made, which I never heard about on the news.

Thousands of Americans on Medicare have been paying more than $14,000 a year for blood cancer drugs, more than $10,000 a year for ovarian cancer drugs, and more than $9,000 a year for breast cancer drugs, for instance.

That all changed beginning in 2023, after the Biden administration capped out-of-pocket prescriptions at $3,500—no matter what drugs were needed. And this year, in 2024, the cap for all Medicare out-of-pocket prescriptions went down to a maximum of $2,000.

“The American people won, and Big Pharma lost,” said President Biden in September 2022, after the legislation passed. “It’s going to be a godsend to many families.”

Another crucial medical necessity, the shingles vaccine, which many seniors skip because of the cost, is now free. Shingles is a painful rash with blisters, that can be followed by chronic pain, and other complications, for which there is no cure

In 2022, more than 2 million seniors paid between $100 and $200 for that vaccine, but starting last year, Medicare prescription drug plans dropped the cost for shots down to zero.

Another victory for consumers over Big Pharma affects anyone of any age who struggles with diabetes. The cost of life-saving insulin was capped at $35 a month [for people on Medicare].

Medicare is also lowering the costs of the premium for Part B—which covers outpatient visits to your doctors. 15 million Americans will save an average of $800 per year on health insurance costs, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Last year, for the first time in history, Medicare began using the leverage power of its large patient pool to negotiate fair prices for drugs. Medicare is no longer accepting whatever drug prices that pharmaceutical companies demand.

Negotiations began on ten of the most widely used and expensive drugs.

Among the ten drugs selected for Medicare drug price negotiation were Eliquis, used by 3.7 million Americans and Jardiance and Xarelto, each used by over a million people. The ten drugs account for the highest total spending in Medicare Part D prescription plans...

How are all these cost-savings being paid for?

The government is able to pay for these benefits by making sure the biggest corporations in America are paying their fair share of federal taxes.

In 2020, for instance, dozens of American companies on the Fortune 500 list who made $40 billion in profit paid zero in federal taxes.

Starting in 2023, U.S. corporations are required to pay a minimum corporate tax of 15 percent. The Inflation Reduction Act created the CAMT, which imposed the 15% minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income of any corporation with average income that exceeds $1 billion.

For years, Americans have decried the rising costs of health care—but in the last three years, there are plenty of positive developments.
