OK wait, why does the MP3 player have the Periodic Table of Elements?! 😆

Yessss! Finally got it working!

Sorry, you stopped being allowed to at 39. Rules are rules.
November 11, 2025 at 7:23 PM
That sounds amazing

Just to clarify: Regardless of where you are in the world, your health status, your age, its always good to have a plan with someone, but some of these things should feel really icky because they are unnecessary when your government cares about you.

And if this didn't make you uncomfy and the reason is that you are numb to it at this point because of being let down over and over by the government, that's a reason for a strike and protest too.
November 11, 2025 at 7:15 AM
You can have better.

It's time to be serious. Your representatives are not supporting you and have proven time and time again that they don't care to.

You need to take to the streets and give them your demands, and I don't mean a two hour planned protest with frog suits. General Strike NOW!
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 AM
Did this thread make you uncomfy? Good. It should. Its absolutely terrible that your government is treating you so badly that you have to prepare for the potentially untimely death of yourself, your child(ren) or other loved ones because they are denying you healthcare.

You deserve better.

If you are a parent:
Discuss the same list with your person of choice regarding if something happens to your child(ren).

*Research:

Please know that I am not a lawyer. Anything I have mentioned of legal documents is not absolute fact. Things change. Laws are different from place to place.

Please do research on how your local laws work regarding this stuff and see if what I have suggested is plausible and possible.

Action: Write a will! Get that shit notarized at the bank with 2 friends as witnesses if you don't have the money for a lawyer. Give a copy to every person you want to give something to.*
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 AM
How should you be remembered? Do you want a funeral, a party, a memorial? Should people send money to a charity or a fund for your kid(s) instead of sending flowers?

If you are religious or spiritual or a believer in an afterlife: What signs will you give to say you are near? Do you want prayers?
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 AM
Discuss: Lose ends

What happens to your child(ren), your pets, your money, your home,and your most prized possessions?

What are your wishes for your body and how do you want your resting place marked?
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 AM
Discuss: Accounts

How can they access and close your accounts? Do you have a place to store all your passwords that they can access? What accounts need to be closed?
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 AM
Discuss: Contacts

Who gets notified immediately if you are ill or dying or dead? How can they be contacted?

Do you have any way to tell multiple people at once, such as social media? How can they access those things?

Do you have any important messages you may want to give someone?

Action: If you are not in a cishet marriage with this person, you may want to consider legally making them your health proxy so they can actually make these decisions for you if you are not consciously able to.*
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 AM
Discuss: What are your boundaries of medical support?

What are you willing to go to debt over? Extreme pain? Something life altering? Near death?

At what point should medical care be withdrawn? When there is little hope? If there is hope but survival will cause suffering? If its cost prohibitive?
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 AM
So first, you need to know who you are entrusting with this plan. A family member? A friend? A partner?

Sit down, talk with that person, assure them you don't have any plans of dying soon, but its always better to plan for the unexpected so they don't have to grapple for what to do while grieving.
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 AM
You are never too young or healthy to have a death prep plan, ESPECIALLY if you are living in a place with no guaranteed healthcare.

(Also if you are living in a place where gun violence is so normalized it hardly makes the news now).
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 AM
Oh and I just had a loved one die who left us in absolute chaos as we have been trying to sort it all out.

So I have done the work, cause I don't want to leave my loved ones behind in a griefstricken panic if something untimely happens to me.

You should consider doing the work too.
