CW: healthcare, suicidality I’m so sorry, people are so careless with their ableism. It’s as if words mean nothing. My dad also had Lewy Body Dementia; he struggled for years and eventually committed suicide because of it. They know not what they are invoking. Wishing you peace among the storm ❤️‍🩹

Saw a new dr on Monday. She called in scrip while i was there. It was supposed to be delivered that evening. Still nothing. “Just because we charged your credit card doesn’t mean it went through. We can look into it. AFTER THE HOLIDAY” I would vote for a potted plant if it offered us healthcare 😖

It made me viscerally angry. I have never been angry at a film before. A writer, a director, an actor, sure. But an entire film?! I *hated* The. Whole. Thing. It got worse every scene. Like, it was personal. Even Carla Gugino could not save that piece of absolute trash I want my 2 hours back

We have to boil our tap water before we use it for several days at a time, several times a year, minimally. If this is news to you, it’s time to start paying closer attention to how conservative politics are entrenched and spreading. We are not “red” - we are voter suppressed.

I worked with ‘em in a hospital setting, and behind patients’ backs they were all fucken assholes. It not personal, it’s systemic. Capitalized medicine is especially awful for psychiatric patients, imo Feels personal, tho.

TY - i know you get it. Everyone here hasn’t known me as long, i feel like a brute when i talk about her. The level of casual cruelty. It’s inhuman. When it looked for a moment like *we* were gonna end up on the street, her whole entire response was, “i hope you don’t think you’re coming here”

I feel like that was nicer than, “yeah i been telling you this for 5 straight years but all you care about is marrying men 2 decades older than you for vacation money” It’ll never end, y’all. Everything will always be my fault and then i’m a bad daughter for not fixing it Thoughts and prayers? 🤷🏻‍♀️😣

My mom, the evangelical antivaxxer who already gave us Covid once, returned from her latest trip with “a cold” that has turned into pneumonia. And she’s pissed at me because i’m not showing enough concern. “It’s no joke out there; take it easy and rest aggressively” I mean wtf else should i say

It’s been really upsetting watching nobody take her seriously as a potential candidate, imo. She wouldn’t be my very first choice, but holy fuck she’s not *worse* than these options

It’s also a neurotype thing. So fwiw, the more you worry about always needing to apologize, the less likely it is that you’re actually going around doing all kinds of damage. Just do the best you can, k? We’re none of us perfect.

I think it’s worth the watch, yes. It’s a strong take on what social harm actually looks like, and who thinks they’re immune from it.

Patients are so tired of being the ones accused of fraud. Also, when we talk about Medicare, please keep in mind that we’re not just talking about seniors. Especially in the age of Covid, Medicare is the only coverage many disabled/chronically ill people are eligible for. And we still get denied.

Holy shit. That's amazing. Maybe I need to do some of my pleasure writing *before* I start my work writing. Work writing is so hard, and then writing personal projects after I get done with that is still so hard. Maybe both will be easier if I eat my dessert first, so to speak.

Actually, this has me thinking about how in the first few months of the pandemic, there was an actual focus on morale in most, if not all, aspects of life. And now there seems to be no focus on morale anywhere. Maybe even an increase in policies specifically meant to sap morale.

As far as i can tell (and i’m not a lawyer ftr), the biggest failure of the immunity decision is that it hands the issue back to the states/federal courts. We all know where their appeals go, right? Back to SCOTUS. All they did was say: We’re gonna obstruct this by creating a never-ending cycle 🔄
