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
Alabama has made $250M since 2000 from garnishing prisoner's wages.
Prisoners who the prison system claim are too dangerous for parole, but are fine to be unsupervised providing cheap labor for corporations. The for profit prison system is unethical & abusive.

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."

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

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.

Does anyone have any tips on getting your gofundme out there without being "too" public? I want to fundraise for me and my spouse, and am good to verify things with people I trust, but considering the state of things literally and otherwise I don't want to be too public and post it wherever/however
