I wish more people realized that the fights over “fake service animals/ESAs” is almost exclusively an argument over who is ‘actually’ disabled vs who is faking disability — and appeals to the same basic conservative impulses as ‘I heard abt this guy who panhandles but he actually has a Camaro’
yeah i hate to be That Girl again but i need some help with my internet bill!!!
i’ve been slowly getting my bills back in order after being on a leave of absence from work because of knee surgery and lupus-related complications for three months, but my centurylink bill keeps trying to get the better of me. i’m only gonna have ~$35 left in my account after my capitalone payment and last gas fillup clear and last time i overdrafted it broke me mentally. part of the reason it’s so high is because they charged me for services and equipment i was never able to use but they wouldn’t take off the bill. i am currently making this post on a weak LTE connection in an extremely rural area. last time i gave them just $100 and it came right back on but i want to get this thing whittled down even more.
i also need help keeping my car fueled for the next week until my next payday, since i live so far away from my job (about 30 miles/40 minutes). on top of that there’s another anticipated snow system aimed at the state of virginia this weekend which, if it hits us, could take a chunk out of a future paycheck since i can’t possibly drive in all that! and i can forget about my SSDI appeal right now since the goverment is in shambles! the ONE bright spot is that my medicaid for 2019 has kicked in so i pay next to nothing for my prescriptions but it won’t help with my surgery bills.
“why don’t you just get a better job?” you might be wondering. well, with this cornucopia of SHIT goin on:
and a suicidal ideation episode last month all my doctors and counselors pretty much unanimously agree that i need to stay part-time for now. also it’s january and i’ve been in retail long enough to know that shit slows down this time of year.
thank you all so much for helping me up to this point! 💕 also Move It Along if you can’t be civil; i’m not in The Mood for any foolishness.
my dad was able to spare $50 which i promptly gave centurylink but
i still have a ways to go; my LTE signal just isnt cutting it out here. also with the anticipated snowfall coming tonight (1/12) i likely will not be at work tomorrow and/or monday, which will seriously hurt my future paycheck.
