little red. elder millennial. she/her. mylittleredgirl on ao3. 50% star trek by volume. now featuring: #mashblogging #discotrek (general discovery posts). new episode spoilers start saturdays and will be tagged #star trek discovery spoilers.
just had a moment of horror imagining what it would be like if your ao3 kudos were publicly sortable. like yeah someone can find you at the devil's sacrament if they have also reached the end of the monsterfuck orgy du jour or whatever, but imagine if they could just get an itemized list of every sacrament you've ever been to. very bad. not preferred. so glad i don't live in that universe i imagined in a cold sweat for five seconds before making this post.
Sudan still desperately needs aid--it needs a lot of things, but it is approaching a dangerous point with famine and mass death due to hunger imminent.
These are the kinds of headlines we're getting now:
Here's an ongoing fundraiser:
I linked it before, to help with Ramadan, but it's an ongoing initiative, the need has not stopped.
I picked this gofundme because it's been boosted by people I trust and you can see pictures online of the food they've provided, e.g.:
But I also picked this because you can see the amount of donations. It's 2pm ET on Saturday, April 20th right now? For the next week, whatever's donated, I'll match for a total up to $2,000 (we'll say 2,750 CAD, since the gofundme is in Canadian dollars).
You don't have to send me a receipt, I just ask that you donate and boost.
looking for photos of keiko o'brien to try and make a cover for a fic and i can't even find them because i'm going into a rage over all the photo captions like "is keiko the worst? no really does she suck the most? consider: maybe she's not quite as bad as you think. opinion: is she the worst character on a show full of war criminals?" shut u p shu t upppp keiko is the most wonderful woman in the galaxy her husband made a whole holiday about it so it has to be true

medication acquired!!! after two hours i no longer want to die, i'm like a neglected houseplant un-wilting after being watered.
i immediately put this renewed will to live into calling health new england about a different medication they denied even though it's on their formulary. turns out the "prior auth" we thought they needed is actually three separate prior authorizations, through different digital systems, all going to different places. like wholeass different COMPANIES. ("pharmacy management companies" my beloathed.)
they called all of them "prior auths" over the phone until i made them spell it out for me.
prior auth classic "yes that is the medication i put on the prescription sorry we really do want you to cover it"
quantity limit "yes we are aware this is over the approved dosage, somehow, even though it is literally the lowest dose this medication comes in and we're only asking for 14 days worth to see if it works"
step therapy "yes she has taken four cheaper medications in this category before, we pinkie promise we tried to save you as much money as possible"
"just tell your doctor to send in a prior auth" no!! they said they did!! if that worked we wouldn't be talking to each other!!
anyway i got all of this confirmed in as much detail as i could, then called the doctor's insurance liaison back and explained it all on her voicemail followed by "i'm so sorry for your job, just like, the entire deal." because how do you do that with a zillion different health insurance companies and not walk into traffic.
