Can we take a minute to talk and acknowledge a specific shitty part about the US healthcare system.
Medication.
We all know insurance is shit when it comes to medical debt, but paying for medications is awful.
I mean life saving medications.
People are dying because they cannot get the medications they need, the biggest one I hear people talk about is things like Insulin.
I am struggling to get my seizure rescue medication. Without insurance it is over $700.
I have been going into status epilepticus during my last 2 times having seizures.
I no longer have rescue medication. My pharmacy cannot fill my prescription until my insurance allows it. If I have another episode I will need to call 911 which further leads me into a rabbit hole of medical debt.
Tumblr media
This should not be happening. Myself and everyone else should not be having to fight for life saving medications.
I honestly have no idea what I’m going to do without this medication. It’s terrifying.

Seeing that Tucker Carlson clip going around and being reminded of conversations a year ago, so just a reminder. When Neo Nazis and White Supremacists say things that make sense politically, they're not coming at it from the same angle as you.
When David Duke expresses support for Palestine, it's not because he cares about Palestinians, it's because he hates Jews, and he wants to use Israel to harm diaspora Jews.
Neo Nazis see the justified opposition to Israel and its actions as a path into new crowds they can radicalize, or a way to launder their rhetoric and their politics.
They don't care about Iran and Iranians, they have a goal, and it's just as horrible as any White Supremacist goal. Especially when it's political figures and not some random bigot you know in your life that can be deradicalized because he's having some epiphany. To right wing figures, everything is a hunting ground.
Don't spread their words as if "even that horrible person sees how bad this is." Fascists have been stealing leftist ideas and talking points since the beginning. He doesn't suddenly care about people of color. He's seeing an opening for something and he's grabbing at it.
You have people you can platform that don't spread rhetoric that enables hate crimes on a regular basis.

we need more trans men in stem we need more trans men in humanities we need more trans men in the arts we need more trans men in trades we need more trans men everywhere and anywhere and we need to celebrate every single trans man who chooses himself over being a sacrificial lamb for cisfeminist narratives. go make that hrt appointment, boy, you do not fucking need to suffer in silence because you don't want to be "just another man in ___" you are not betraying anyone. cisfeminists betray you when they treat your existence like a symbol instead of a fellow person.

If Zohran Mamdani instiutes even 1 of his promise (much like DeBlasio instituting the cessation of stop and frisk), he would be considered an above-average mayor of New York.
That aside, his victory does loudly show to establishment democrats that Zionism and Zionism-baiting has lost them yet another election. No lessons will be learned from this, but it's nice to know that the democrats have completely lost control of their electorate re: this issue.

people talk about "well some people NEED ABA to learn to mask or decrease supports needs" but never talk about how a) being higher supports not a bad thing b) ABA itself actually increases supports needs for a lot of people who get traumatized from it. ABA doesnt always produce successfully high-masking low-supports "high-functioning" autistics & acting like thats true buys into the idea that ABA actually works and is a reasonable approach to autism
i went into ABA a MSN autistic and came out of ABA a severely traumatized MSN autistic with long-term physical damage and emotional trauma. until emdr therapy i had nightmares flashbacks panic attacks etc every day. a lot of day to day things were triggers and still to this day i struggle and dont think ill ever really be fully healed from what happened to me in ABA. ABA was actively disabling for me, not making my disability "better"

Can anyone spare a few dollars this month so that my power doesn’t get shut off tomorrow?
I owe the power company $150 for my monthly bill and a payment plan for the last time they shut off my power
Thank you so much in advance , I would be hopeless without your words of encouragement and support

it is annoying as fuck to be Nahua Native in LA right now, surrounded by (mainly white) people acting like boarders aren’t violent no matter where they’re drawn and Mexico isn’t also a settler colony. Obviously, all solidarity with the folks being directly impacted by ICE violence and the folks on the frontlines. But let’s live in reality, I’m sick of Mexican supremacist narratives dominating our conversations around immigration and deportation.
I don’t give a fucking shit what part of the US used to be Mexico, it’s all stolen Native land and Mexico treats Indigenous people there horrifically. Yes, even if sometimes they are returning land to Indigenous stewardship—real Land Back in Mexico, the US, Canada, and every other colonial state cannot actually be achieved until those entities and their governments are nonexistent. Indigenous people south of the US border are still extant and we see what you think of us when you act like Mexico is somehow inherently universally Indigenous

This is going to be hard for a lot of people to hear but if you want to make your spaces safer for disabled people, then you need to stop assuming malice from every poorly worded post.
A lot of neurodivergencies and disabilities cause people to ramble, lose their train of thought very easily, go on tangents, have disordered thinking, etc. We can get words and names mixed up very easily, lose words entirely, struggle to put our thoughts into actual words that make sense to people, and lose track of conversations. Whether it's from ADHD, psychosis, brain fog, brain damage, or any other condition, thinking and verbalizing ourselves can be really fucking hard.
This isn't malicious. We aren't doing it on purpose to hurt or upset people, and we aren't ignorant about the topic just because we get mixed up. We deserve to have voices, even if we don't always make sense to other people.
