My medications have unexpectedly increased, and this month I'm having a hard time affording them.
These are maintenance medications for my heart and nerve damage.
Any help would be appreciated! Can trade editorial services!

Kindly, my pink-toed tarantula passed away today. I have arachnophobia and Kindly was my second tarantula over the years to help me see the beauty of spiders.

Opposing bills and submitting testimonies in my state has become a nightly thing for me. It's especially rewarding when we win. Winning so we don't set a dangerous precedent for the rest of the country. Fighting for my friends. Fighting for my found family. Fuck the musky orange and butthole lips.
