idk where else to post this. my state denied me coverage for healthcare and food share for “making too much,” and now since i can’t acquire insurance elsewhere since i simply can’t afford it, i’m going to lose medication that is currently treating a chronic, life shortening illness. i do not have $509 a month to spend on this drug. and since nobody in my state gives a shit about me i am simply going to go without and suffer the consequences of being unmedicated with my disease.

great.

means testing is immoral and fuck everyone who supports it. you are why i won’t be medicated anymore.

Do you have any monetary support links? If so and you'd like to share them then we'll share them around and even personally help you as best we can. If you don't or don't want to then we understand.

Also fuck means testing and capitalism, people deserve to live for free.

i am extremely hesitant to share any support links out of fear i will be viewed suspiciously. i am hyper aware of how my behaviors are seen and interpreted. but i appreciate it, truly.

We understand. Would you be willing to DM them to us?

Edit: Even if it's just us who help in the end, we would like to. But again we understand if that's not a thing you would like to do.
