This is where I reblog things that take my interest. Expect a combination of funny pictures, issues I feel strongly about, and probably other things as they come up.
Furry blog: @dexthedragon
like… not only can I not marry the love of my life without losing my health insurance and the $800 or so a month I’m forced to survive on
but I can’t even CALL her “my wife” casually
like literally the US gov’t has people whose job it is to go and interview the family, friends, & neighbors of disabled people to just make sure that they never refer to anyone in their life as “my wife” or “my husband” etc
and if you DO, then SNAP! You’re defrauding the US gov’t of the pittance you can barely survive on and you are no longer entitled to your disability benefits
(some kinds of benefits might remain in diminished form but if you were disabled before age 22 you are fucked COMPLETELY and can’t get them back even if you divorce… the only loophole is if the other person was ALSO deemed disabled before 22, because that fucking makes sense)
and this is just… legal and no one but disabled activists ever talks about this shit
so yeah I’d love some of that gay marriage shit but I will never be able to get married, and to add insult to injury, I can’t even casually refer to my partner as “my wife” without risking the health insurance and income I need to survive as a disabled lesbian
If you see a police car or a cop with a speaker looking thing on it, FUCKING RUN. It's known as an LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device), a device that, when activated, can permanently damage your hearing and cause serious harm. If you're too close, you'll be left in a lot of pain and squirming on the ground permanently deaf. Ear plugs do not work. Unless you have one of those shooting range headphones, you do not stand a chance against them. Again, if you see them pull up, RUN. This is what they look like.
already knew landlords were bastards but reading that landlord tell fuck knows how many people to sell their cars, spend all their retirement savings, borrow from friends and family, and pay their rent before they fucking FEED THEMSELVES because “it’s more important to have a roof over your head than buy groceries” and “your money goes to pay my mortgage” really hit differently this time ……im pretty sure the guillotine jokes are 99% jokes but bro if you’re going to extort money from people who cant work without risking them and their children’s lives and threaten them and their families with homelessness during a worldwide pandemic? you honestly can fuck around and find out
So Gamestop will probably want to fire me for this but fuck them. They are literally telling us to fight law enforcement and blatantly disregard the law to hit sales. Please signal boost and share on other sites. If they are gonna fire me then it might as well be worthwhile.
