on that note i'm gonna go play more motherfucking stardew goddamn valley

the 24 hour news cycle of constant panic and anxiety and drama is broken in more ways than you apparently think it is, which is "i like this idea but what if we focused on ANARCHISTS instead??? yeah!!! the only thing wrong with fox news is their political slant!!!!"

absolutely print out your shitty bot's source code on fucking glass, smash your head through it, and then shove it all up your ass. and then fuck off with that nonsense.

anyway if you have a bot that posts news articles and doesn't cw anything, you're a bad person and you should feel bad and that is also shit praxis. if you actually want to not be part of the deluge of the 24 hour news cycle pressing mental stress onto people, at least observe basic courtesy and not shove it in everyone's faces

"but but but you need to know" i don't need to know shit if your method is to come and scream in my face when i am trying to catch my fucking breath you utter wankstick

i swear to god i have muted the same news bot at least three times and it's like a fucking hydra of un-content-warning'd shite

@maple ok that is a bit disappointing but i still recognize the kindred spirit who said "oh you know what's also important and i should save? THESE PUPPY PICTURES"

@maple i feel the tug of recognizing a kindred spirit between myself and this person who filled a superdisk floppy full of dog pictures

i have survived physical therapy, despite them running 30 minutes late ( ...o_<) and me skipping lunch so now i have a heavy afternoon snack of uhhhh

chex mix and what i can only describe as "gourmet slim jim"

OH RIGHT I SAW SOMETHING LATE LAST NIGHT

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz you are likely way ahead of me here but, hear me out:

meloetta mint

please insert loud groaning and grumbling at having to go take a shower and go to physical therapy here

@rey absolutely!

tbh i feel like this is a 'ymmv due to local climate' issue - i'm in the bible belt and around here, sadly, a lawyer is just about a must.

but, the one thing i did hear that my lawyer constantly tells clients is: "you've been disabled for far longer than you think. i wish you had come to me years ago." so there is every reason in the world to get started now if anyone out there is on the fence about it :)

@rey honestly, they probably auto-reject applications without a lawyer's name on them. a good lawyer who can help you navigate the bullshit - or just persist through it - is, sadly, worth it as a necessity.

and DO persist!!! go all the way until you get a hearing in front of a judge. it is bullshit, yes, but you might as well start the process to get it cookin'. go fight the bastards for the benefits you're owed!

@rey also good to know:

if you don't have a lawyer, get one.

a good disability lawyer will not ask for any money down. they will work for a percentage of your "back pay" if/when you get declared disabled (e.g. it'll say "yeah ok, you've been disabled since x date to now, so we need to pay you a big lump sum as if we had been paying you benefits since x date").

don't be discouraged if you have to appeal. they reject EVERYONE at least once.

i mean look! look at this shit! look at how fucking fun it is!!!
