Okay, Monday I did laundry on top of dental work and initially poking at insurance to figure out how to appeal. Tuesday stuff broke down and I wasn't up for more work after a 9.5 hr day. Yesterday I ran into seriously, seriously upsetting stuff, so *tonight* I finally wrote and sent in my appeal.They're not there to actually help, but let's see. Maybe this was just a preliminary "try to make it too much work for people who can't come up with the spoons."
Uspol rant , technically a subpost, - - -
You know.
Back in 2016 Sanders offered something somewhat further left than rewarmed Clinton administration, then I watched the Democratic Party mobilize like nobody's business to brand Sanders' supporters as misogynists, racists and dangerous extremist etc. F'rex Obama, literally the second most inspiring orator I can name, totally blew his cred with me saying it. And, as a Jew, I can't help wondering if it was JUST concern about us evil lefties, or whether Sanders was the wrong ethnicity - this while being expected to laud the candidate clumsily engineered in as a TRIUMPH OF DIVERSITY.
Far more recently, I've watched Dems support KOSA, renew defense spending without fighting a rider which took away support for helping military family members transition, and eagerly offer more bodyguards to a SCOTUS which acts to harm us. And then we delve further back into the lack of opposition to the Iraq War, and so many other things.
So no, I'm not a Democrat, much as I wish I could trust your fucking party. I have no illusions that your party won't gladly join in marching over the corpses of us poors, f*ggots and tr*nnies if you get a tech boom out of the deal
I did the button-pressing dance a bit in the elevator bays, on Friday night. You can blow with this, or you can blow with that!
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
