It is perfectly acceptable to not have it all together right now, in case you were wondering. 👍

I feel that, I used to kinda manage to deal with people who in essence wanted people like me """fixed""" on a very temporary and survival basis, but I just can't anymore. Standing up for yourself and others is a huge ans vulnerable act right now.

I'm sorry for posting on my mostly inactive account, but me and my spouse are in serious need, I'm good to verify or prove whatever info people need, but me and my spouse need to get out of AL and move to IL ASAP, anything is appreciated!

I dunno about you guys but I’m finding it a little harder to make politics jokes these days. Like every single thing in the world is distasteful

There being this much snow in AL felt downright magical, I can imagine there's even more out in parts of GA

I'm going to re-up my efforts when in another state, the system where I'm at in particular seems extra broken. Thank you for your encouragement, I will try again!

Sorry for late reply, I've been so busy with doing what I can to prepare for the move and other general Life Stuff I've been inactive here, I will asap, and thank you so much!

The world would be a better place if our biggest difference was between those who want it to snow like hell, those who hope it doesn't snow at all, and those who didn't know that snow was even a possibility today.

No trans person is going to be getting HRT to sell on the streets, 1/2 isn't profitable and anyone can do it at home anyway, the other 1/2 has severe punishment compared to even hard drugs, and STILL wouldn't sell for much, I'm so tired of this bs.

I'm tired of my pharmacy acting like I'm a drug lord when there's any variance in my HRT scrip, like no, there isn't fraud, I got a script to last me longer from a different doctor. Now they're refusing it and are making us use a smaller vial than what the doctor had requested, cool! Great! /s

🧵 interesting regarding AL garnishing wages of prisoners working…. At McDonald’s?? How the hell does something that even happen? We really have reverted to the prisons that @stephenking.bsky.social wrote about in the Shawshank Redemption. #DemCast

United Health are telling me to make sure I’m remaining calm rather than actually pay any of my claims is just about the most ironic mass market email bullshit I can imagine.

Alabama says they are safe enough for KFC, but too dangerous for parole Inmates who are denied parole are going to work in a system that generates millions for the state each year, a system that’s been called a “modern-day form of slavery."

Just a devastating read. www.al.com/news/2024/12...

I have a special contempt for transphobes who chide and denigrate trans people as scroungers and "e-beggars" for having to resort to gofundmes, as if this was something inherent to trans people as a whole, a flaw, rather than the material conditions imposed on us; that it is something done *TO* us.

Speaking of everything going on right now, is that I got a random hospital bill months after my visit for over 800 that claimed the total would be more than 4k it I hadn't qualified for some discounts, mind you I've literally already paid for my visit, but I've found no way to fight this bill, fun

I've been experiencing something like this, and I've been getting no help either, if I do pass away it will be because of our health care system

It is disappointing that @safety.bsky.app keeps unsuspending Singal, when he explicitly stated he's here to target a group who helped build this site into what it is. Not even pretending good faith. He's here to ruin the vibes and try to normalize harassment of trans users.

This is fucked up.
