“Most hospitals in America are non-profits, which means they must have financial assistance or Charity Care policies. This is gonna sound weird, but what that means is that if you make under a certain amount of money, the hospital legally has to forgive your hospital bills. Let me show you how this works. Type in the hospital name with ‘financial assistance’ after. Should be the top link. Let’s check. What you wanna do is look for financial assistance applications and policies. Let’s check the policy. From here, what you’re looking for is a sliding scale of benefits. 0-300% of the poverty guidelines, they will forgive 100% of your medical bills. So you can see here that 300% is $37,470, so if you make under that amount, the hospital will legally forgive your medical bills. If you’re a larger household, you can check it out from here. If you wanna test it out, I run a non-profit that does this so DM me, and I will actually do it for you, and see if we can crush those medical bills.” The guy’s Tiktok handle is @dollarfor.

The majority of my immediate fam works for hospitals and had no idea this was a thing. I find that insane but not at all surprising. Of course, there are probably all sorts of loopholes or requirements depending on the hospital or what sorta medical insurance you have. This might be helpful to check out.

someone invents a recipe > their child loves it > they grow up and replicate it for their own child > their child loves it > they grow up and replicate it for their own child > their child loves it > they grow up and replicate it for their own child > their child loves it > (this continues indefinitely)

Tea time!

[cottage-and-a-garden]

pretty shitty how baseline human activities like singing, dancing and making art got turned into skills  instead of being seen as behaviors

so now it’s like ‘the point of doing them is to get good at them’ and not ‘this is a thing humans do, the way birds sing and bees make hives’.

hey kids, take it from an old forest hag: it's totally okay to half-ass your hobbies

... trace that picture for your journal

... like old cars without knowing how to fix them

... watch the movies without reading the comics

... super glue the part of the model

... learn one (1) way to make a braid

... watch how-to videos for every step of the recipe

... google every second word in that article

... use the automatic setting on your camera

And don't be ashamed. Real life isn't school. The all or nothing mentality is not healthy. Don't gate-keep yourself from stuff that might be fun. Shrug, grin, and hold eye contact with a boomer while you do it. It's good I promise.

How to: Cottagecore Respectfully*

1. Learn whose land you are on, and actually educate yourself on their history AND their present.

2. If you purchase or own land, return it to the tribe in which is belongs (this does not mean you can’t use or live on your land, click link)

3. Before planting anything or altering the landscape in any way, PAY knowledge keepers of said tribe to give you an assessment of your land: they will explain to you what you should and shouldn’t do to the land, what you should plant there (if you are in the US, these are probably going to be plants you are not familiar with, as many plants you think of as crops are not from here but from Europe) , and how.

4. Actually follow the recommendations given to you. Just because you want to grow carrots doesn’t mean the land you are on is for growing carrots. Just because you want pet cows doesn’t mean you should have them. Accept that.

5. Support indigenous food sovereignty by gifting some of what you produce (because, if done right, you will have extra) to your local indigenous groups.

* this is a write up by me. Members of other indigenous communities may have differing opinions.
