trying to live in America with chronic illness/ chronic pain makes me feel like a sick cat biting everyone at the vets office. being in pain makes one cranky enough in itself, but then there's the fact that healthy abled people do not fucking "get it" at all nor see the problems that are killing us

I cant hope for anything more from this life than a quick and minimally painful death. it's the only thing this world might realistically let me have. no matter how hard i work

sometimes bitching about it is the only thing that keeps me from initiating the process of buying a gun and as close to one single bullet as i can get

it is not a question of if, it's just a question of when. dying is vastly preferable to enduring another 40-some years of this. I had to be born with a fucking trashed body and these bloodsucking ghouls that run the world want to make me and everyone else like me suffer every day for it

it only took like a month to wear me back down into a husk that can barely get in their car and drive to work. again. the only way capitalism will let me stop living like this is if I kill myself

It is not too late for you to start wearing a mask in public.

It is not too late for you to start advocating clean air.

It is not too late for you to learn how to build your own air filters or to tap in with folks already doing so.

They want you sick. They want your neighbors sick. Tell them no.

biggest relief of all fucking time, called UHC and found out they're just giving me the temp card early, date printed on the temp card is not valid or accurate (???) and coverage starts 11/1 like it was suppose to. PHEW. I really need this appointment on Monday bc I urgently need med refills

juni 🦨θ∆🔜NYFB @junius64.bsky.social · 1d

I'm losing my goddamn mind. I have spent months untangling a gnarly complicated health insurance situation, thought I JUST solved everything today, and then my job goes "hey here you go here's your new insurance card, dated to today, for the insurance we said you'd get on 11/1"

THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS

So.

We've been denied financial aid, and the surgery is not being considered "emergent" thus no bypassing pre-payment. Which means we HAVE to pay on the date of surgery, which is later this month.

I'm going to be offering these portraits for anyone donating $50+ to the gofundme, details below

my Mom snuck Halloween decorations into my room while i was at work. look at this wacky little scene

a bunch of sculptures I've made (a joltik from Pokemon and an assortment of little fursonas and animals) are all circled around a plastic pumpkin. Approaching the circle is, uhh, a plastic spider with a plastic skeleton (only from the torso up) mounted to its back? skeleton has got its arms raised ready to spook ya
