good eyes u guise

Omg don’t be such a demon justice warrior some beings are just inherently evil and inferior and looking to corrupt my traditional ‘murican values.

Also, I’m sorry for your brother and parents. Thank God for assertive mamas.

Ugh it’s just like, where were these doctors who prescribe a year’s worth of antibiotics when you actually *need* antibiotics? The treatment regiment for my sister was short, and she made a full recovery, but not thanks to the doctors who refused to *test* for something that was totally possible, even likely, and who…

All right y’all I believe in science and all that stuff but I will admit

nooOooooO why didn’t you warn meee

yepyepyep

Well so, the part about doctors not testing is absolutely true. My sister got Lyme at the age of 8, and shit got incredibly bad. The doctors were like ~ it’s a virus~ but no specific virus? My mom was like these kids hang out in the woods for like 6 hours a day, could it be Lyme? They were like lol u silly woman, you…

Wait... is everyone in on a joke that I don’t understand? Did I go see the wrong movie? My partner and I went to see it, not knowing much about it, and my partner is a big action movie fan. Thirty minutes in, I wanted to chew my arms off to relieve the misery. My partner was like “I was waiting for you to say you…

don’t forget about the overtones

Wow. Bless her. I always thought of her as a joke, but this is incredibly humanizing. I hope she can stay strong in her recovery, and that she can eventually get to a point where she’s mostly at peace.

Oh definitely. The other thing that I don’t think is talked about is that some stores ACTIVELY encourage people to buy junk with SNAP. I was at a Walgreen’s recently and the little Debbie’s aisle had all these little leaflets that were like REMEMBER WE TAKE SNAP. DON’T FORGET. YOU CAN SPEND SNAP ON THESE AND THEY LOOK…

you’re right it’s just that I’m so ~irresponsible~ and ~lazy~

yeEeEep. this is so real. at the beginning of my SNAP thing there was a really great place with excellent and inexpensive produce (the non-produce stuff was hella expensive but that’s what CVS is for?) but then I moved to a neighborhood with many less resources, and it was not so easy. Luckily I lived with someone who…

Yeah but 1) what’s junk food? (I’m not saying that it’s a meaningless category and that NOTHING is junk food, but...) I was on SNAP for a good...year? I bought a lot of 99 cent microwave meals that had no nutritional value but would keep me from spending $5 at McDonald’s. Are those junk food? They’re certainly junk…

one time I bought some brie with my EBT >_>

Yay! Good luck. I can’t stress enough that writing it down or saying out loud is important. Part of the power, I think, was bringing positivity to the forefront while letting negative self-talk just rattle around somewhere unacknowledged :)

now, now, someone needs to learn the importance of being patient.
