it’s the smallest habits. how you spend your mornings. how you talk to yourself. what you read. what you watch. who you share your energy with. who has access to you. that will change your life.

Don’t slip back into the darkness. How ever tempting it may seem, remember that you don’t belong there. There are much greater places in store for you.

“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.

I find it interesting how a lot of Western-Europeans say they want to keep it from happening again when they talk about WWII. History has been repeating itself, one could argue it has never really stopped, it’s just different groups of people that are being targeted. More specifically, it’s not Western-Europeans that are being targeted so in our eyes, history hasn’t repeated itself.

History is repeating itself, we just don’t care because we’re not the ones being killed, raped and forced to live in concentration camps. People refuse to understand the situation Palestinians are in right now, or the Uyghurs, or the Rohingya. It’s widely ignored by Western-Europeans while we celebrate liberation from the Nazi’s every year and vow to never let it happen again.

VIDEO: Living Under Israel’s Missiles

Four boys of the Bakr family were killed by a missile strike during last year’s incursion. Their surviving family members are still scarred from the attack.

More than anyone, children bear the brunt of regular Israeli military assaults on the Gaza Strip. During the 51-day war in the summer of 2014, 551 children were killed and 3,436 were injured. But these gruesome figures say little about the psychological state of the nearly 800,000 children who have survived the periodic bombing campaigns. After the final cease-fire that ended Israel’s Operation Protective Edge on August 26 of last year, UNICEF estimated that at least 425,000 Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip require “immediate psychosocial and child protection support.”

Never feel bad for taking rich men’s money because:

1.) They will spend it anyway

2.) You were a terrrific asset to them during the time you spent with them

3.) Someone else will get it if you don’t!

You have to sacrifice a few years and do what others won’t, so you can spend the rest of your life living how others can’t.
