I want to reblog stuff to show ppl that I’m still here because I’m too sick to just talk about myself or my thoughts atm, but god is almost everything on this site so boring or unfunny or banal or juvenile. Except for the past few months, I’ve been spending a lot less time on social media in general and it’s honestly hard sometimes to even see what some people are talking about at all. Like their sentences will be missing entire collections of words to finish the thought, or at least missing clear transitive/regular verbs

my doctor after not being seen for over a year and being really spotty on my meds

I’ve almost beat botw on master mode, and im constantly shocked at how fun it is compared to the original difficulty. Instead of just smashing face and getting bored halfway in, Im forced to learn all the mechanics, properly utilize cooking, and the exploration is actually fun instead of a giant easy babytown slog

Hey, I’m really sorry to have to ask again, but my wife and I could really use help affording food, gas, and necessities for the both of us until she gets paid a week from now.

She works full time to support the both of us, and I’m physically disabled and unable to work myself. I had been counting on receiving my general assistance for this month and the last, but I’ve been having a series of clerical errors from my doctor’s office delay getting my medical opinion form signed for it to be renewed.

Any amount helps a ton, thank you 💜

Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”

How are some of y’all missing the point so bad. “Shop at aldi instead” “make your own food” “don’t buy brand name” “don’t buy unhealthy processed food” It’s not about the box of cookies. This is about how minimum wage pays peanuts and has stagnated for 12 years while the cost of living keeps growing. No one wants your financial advice about how to survive on beans and rice and frozen veggies. The smartest grocery list in the world is not gonna help you budget your way out of poverty. Please get a grip for the love of god

I just got a charge for a subscription that I had already cancelled, so we’re completely out of money at the moment until I can get the charge reversed. If anyone is able to help us out we’d greatly appreciate it

Okay listen I have another disability related thing that’s important!!

If you have any disabilities linked to tooth decay/erosion, through direct cause or secondary symptom, it is vital that you get one or both of the following items: Sensodyne toothpaste and enamel repair mouthwash

This includes health conditions such as acid reflux, diabetes, thyroid conditions, fibromyalgia, chronic pain & mental illnesses such as depression that create poor hygiene routines, sensory issue disorders like autism and ADHD, and any health condition that causes frequent vomiting / increased stomach acid, including eating disorders and migraines.

All of these disabilities will erode the enamel of your teeth, not only opening you up to cavities but making it very easy to chip your teeth from such simple things as biting the wrong way on the tines of a fork. (I’ve chipped my teeth at least 4 times this way).

The toothpaste on the left here (sensodyne pronamel) is gentle on your teeth, won’t cause painful sensations from any extreme mint flavor, and will even protect your gums if they’re sensitive from any of these conditions.

The mouthwash on the right (Crest enamel repair) will, as it says, repair your enamel — which is marvelous, because the technology to repair your enamel at all is relatively very new to society! — but it is most importantly non-alcoholic. Meaning that it works well as a once-a-day rinse without any of the burning sensations of antiseptics that typically discourage people with sensory issues from taking care of their teeth.

I know remembering to do these things every day can feel like a lot when you’re sick and exhausted, but I promise a collective three minutes out of every day is going to save you an incredible amount of pain and money in the future. If your teeth are susceptible enough to rot, you can actually die from infection. And as they say, with how little insurance actually covers dental —

Not brushing your teeth??

In THIS economy???

also: ask your dentist about durophat fluoride toothpaste!! I got some on prescription and it is a special formula that helps protect teeth

Clinpro is another great rx toothpaste that has a soft minty vanilla flavor. You can also ask for tooth cleaning powder at your dentist. The brand I use is called "common sense teeth cleaning powder," and it doesn't scratch the enamel off your teeth.

We use it when I need to neutralize the acid in my mouth because of things like acid reflux/the frequent throwing up that I used to endure because of my other ailments. Saved my teeth for sure.
