Waiting for my package with my face pressed against the glass and all I can think about is that “packige” comic

Your record for longest amount of consecutive days without dying has reached a personal best. Well done, you.

On another, less angry note, the democrats in my state have started running ads that are very similar to like traditional conservative/republican ads and I fuck with it SO much. Like I totally believe it has made a difference in how things went in the fall for us with the special election we had for recreational marijuana and reproductive health care. Truly amazing

#personal #like they don’t do shitty things or say shitty stuff about other candidates #but like the one was talking about infringing on the rights of families #and how the government should not be included in those decisions #one right now is going on with one of the dem candidates #that’s like some sheriffs talking about how he’s backed them #and something about how he signed some thing Donald trump did about safety or something I don’t remember #but like I am genuinely thrilled which I know sounds insane #but we’re a swing state and we are gerrymandered to hell and back #if this is what it takes to get someone who isn’t a demon in office idgaf #shout out to Sherrod Brown #I literally laughed out loud when I saw the ad #I was like ‘isn’t he a democrat?’ and my bf was like oh yeah he def is #like the dems do not need to high road this situation #that will not affect the voters you don’t have yet #we need the people who are on the fence to be like hmmm much to think about #okay I won’t talk about politics anymore lmaoo

Idk why but I was thinking about this last night, probs bc I was complaining about spending almost $400 on meds today bc the generic vyvanse is on back order so name brand Vyvanse went up literally $100 in price

But regardless, I was talking to my bf about how like. Regardless of what the republicans (and more conservative dems) say, they will have to forgive student debt within my life time. Like they will have to, it won’t be an option. I’m not saying I’ll necessary benefit from it— I’m hoping to participate in the public service forgiveness program— but like we are already seeing the effects of student loan debt in millennials and older gen z kids. Like this will be one of the next major financial crises in the US without a doubt. Like we’re at the point where something has GOT to give. I think it’s fair to say that this isn’t the first time there has been a lot of like civil unrest in the US like during the Vietnam war.

I would say that the current level we’re at has been going on for MUCH longer, like there are so many terrible things going on in the states that we just don’t have any control over for the most part. Like our health insurance costs are beyond outrageous. I make $28/hr and pay $360 a month just for health insurance for myself, and my insurance company gets to decide what pharmacy they will cover costs and whether or not they will cover certain meds that my doctor has literally determined to be necessary. They want me to use a mail order pharmacy which I refuse to do. I also have to meet a $2k out of pocket deductible before I even get to pay the co-pay prices.

So after insurance and taxes, I make about $900 a week. With all of my meds combined it costs me between $550-600 the last couple of months for my meds alone. If you factor in my other bills like my car payment, student loans, my portion of our mortgage, and credit cards that I had to use when I had like no money), I’m at like 60-75% of my income probs. I make almost 4x the national minimum wage, and almost 3x the minimum wage in my state. It is literally almost impossible to afford to live in this country for so many people. Like when I say that something has got to give I don’t mean that in like the exasperated sense of the phrase (even though it also applies), I mean like quite literally regardless of what shitty rich politicians have to say and how much they deny it and say it isn’t necessary, something WILL have to give, it WILL happen bc there will no longer be any options. Realistically I think it will be student loans bc it will be easy for the to “justify” bc of the effects on the economy, even though socialized healthcare would be much more beneficial and positively affect WAY more people.

I don’t even know where I was going with this but I’m just so tired of not being able to do anything, or like usually specifically republicans doing things to not only prevent progress, but also just to fucking spite the democrats

#personal #the last bit was about the fact that my state legalized recreational marijuana last fall #and the republicans are fighting against making it feasible to open dispensaries here #like it would bring in jobs and money into our economy #with people from other states coming here to buy stuff #the state could make money from the taxes on it #literally all things they platform for #they don’t actually care about these things #they care about doing the opposite of the dems that’s it that’s their whole thing #long post

Owning a cat is doing what literal years of therapy could not do for me. This little animal routinely keeps me from spiraling, just by flopping her stupid little body on my keyboard. I love her with everything.

#they help me get out of bed on days that I’m like struggling to do anything #our kitten specifically likes to bite me awake #I think she thinks we’re playing a game but she is much better at it than me

Not to sound slutty but I would fold your laundry for you

#one of the things I did when I first came around #was I started folding my boyfriend’s towels the way I personally do #before we met he was def going through it for a wide variety of reasons #and I enjoy both folding laundry and showing I care #by doing things that are easy for me but hard for the other person #when he opened the cabinet with towels he was like oh!!! look at this!!! #love it love being helpful

My boyfriend's professor doesn't believe I exist, so I sent this email

And his professor responded with this

#the temptation to punch Ronald Reagan was there #but going to see what Jesus’s deal really was would be much more interesting

Government keeps spamming me with this ad to try and stop me drinking while pregnant (good luck!) but mostly it just makes me want the glass foetus.
