2026-05-13T16:00:06Z

they're talking about how we can replace "that drives me insane/crazy/nuts" with "that bothers me" and, okay. I get it. I do, but as someone with mental illness my entire life... no. I don't want to. if I say "that drives me insane" I mean that it's triggering a maladaptive mental health response, not that it's mildly rubbing me the wrong way. if I say I'm bothered, it's a different thing.

oh, and here's a funny: you can't call AISH during the day because there's just too many calls and the system will hang up on you, unless you get lucky (ha ha ha), but the last time I called AISH RIGHT when they opened I asked them about submitting some of my family member's expenses, like the $100 in cabs they had to take to get to their surgeon, and AISH told me I'd have to submit bank statements and receipts and a written statement from the doctor indicating why this person couldn't take public transit. how long after amputation do you think you'd feel like wanting to scan in receipts from your cab company? asking for a friend

2026-03-27T19:24:24Z

dealing with bureaucracy today, and it's once again roused my intense grief and compassion for people on AISH; I'm helping out family, and I know how it works and where to send and what to say, and I'm *still* stressed out because there's no way to know what the outcome is until AISH processes the email in two to four weeks. it was through no fault of the person in question, but it may completely fuck up their life anyway.

if you ever find yourself wondering how ADAP will work, it won't. it's going to hurt and kill people, period. it is a measure of cruelty against disabled people, and if you voted UCP, you can fuck all the way off until you've reached low earth orbit and then you can continue fucking off until you've left the fucking solar system, and don't write.
