Yesterday I watched an 1 hour 20 minutes of a movie, failed to write down when I stopped it, returned 3 hours later--
and it took me THIRTY MINUTES too figure out where I'd left off. Only 15 minutes were left and I watched close to 45.
I feel like I'm too stupid to.. watch TV?

I feel like I don't have a right to talk about myself here in public. But also I'm having a really hard time understanding people, or making sentences that say what I meant them to say.
Those go together *terribly*.

So just a light reminder that my household is fundraising for things like rent, utilities, and cat vet bills while we muddle through various health and financial crises.

Every time I see one of these articles I am reminded of two things:
1. The best way to help people who don't have housing or money is to just give them housing and money.
2. The studies keep happening because they don't want you to know about #1 being true.
1. The best way to help people who don't have housing or money is to just give them housing and money.
2. The studies keep happening because they don't want you to know about #1 being true.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

I got the guts to call! He admitted (in different words) that he's nervous cuz he knows I'm poor and the treatment we're talking about will fuck up my jaw if I stop being able to pay for it halfway through
That feels much less reject-y 🌈

It turns out now I'm afraid to follow up with any doctor who doesn't call back. Getting turned away by two places without knowing why is absolutely feeding the "I should stop bothering people" thing.
Getting rejected by a *self-pay* doctor who is supposed to specialize in complex patients and not being given a reason
Feels, um
Bad
Also that was a waste of 3 months
