MUTUAL AID REQUEST - $45/200
Boosts appreciated 
Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I'm in need of help.
I am a trans nonbinary neurodivergent individual who is dealing with multiple disabilities and I've been unable to qualify for disability benefits.
I am in need of help for some groceries my EBT doesn't cover, cat food and cat litter, personal care and hygiene items, transportation, and to cover a couple of bills. Help is greatly appreciated!

The the worst things that may happen to you as a chronically ill and /or disabled person are to be failed by medicine and live in an area where there are zero healthcare and miserable life quality .
So your mission to survive won't be easy.

Is this a question they are seriously asking?
“The delivery man arrived with the ashes in a gift bag’ – why are so many people opting out of traditional funerals?”
I paid $64 to bury my mom, plus an urn that was less than $100 because I bought it from Amazon instead of the funeral home.
We had a graveside funeral for free too. The cemetery set up a podium and however many chairs we requested, then when we were done they came and filled in the holes & took the chairs away.
I had no idea until my mom died that if someone gets SNAP or SSI/SSDI or section 8 the state pays for the cremation. It wasn’t until my brother died that I realized we could get a free cemetery plot. So I chose two together (one for my mom and one for my brother) and each one can hold two people so I will be on my mom side and my dad ended up on my brother’s side.
The only thing I had to pay for was the interment fee ($64 for SNAP/Section 8/disability) and the stones. My brother’s friends raised the money for the headstone and then my dad and I split the costs of the footstones, and because we had them all done at once we got a discount.
I don’t know if all the states do this. All I know is that I’m so happy my mom didn’t try to pre-pay for any of this stuff. And now my youngest brother doesn’t have to worry about what to do with me when I die. He’ll just have to pay for them to dig the hole, my ashes will come in a box so he won’t even have to buy an urn if he doesn’t want to.
Pour le Pride Month Handi, je mets aujourd'hui en avant 4 romans avec des personnages autistes. Romance, fantasy, feel good : pour tous les goûts ou presque !

He said he likes NYC but NYC isnt very wheelchair accessible. Hell, its not very mobility accessible. Some boroughs got them super old buildings with high staircases from like the 1930s or before. Tenement houses.
But also, disabled folk tend to collect there? There's several million people and of course you'll see a bunch of folks with various disabilities there.
Newer parts of NYC are more accessible. It beats cities where there is no accessibility.
Anyways maybe this is a good note to end on?

This man Sam (21) has several disabilities and wants to do documentary making. He uses an electric wheelchair to get around, and needs carers and his father to help him.
He shows the world from his perspective, how people treat him, and he talks to disabled activists about how to navigate the world as a disabled adult.
And I was agreeing with so much he and the activists said.

I miss being outside and campfires and smelling grilled food in the summer but... can't do that.
Sometimes disability happens gradually and sneaks up on you. Like my allergies and asthma/Can't breathe. (Your allergist thinks you're full of bullshit.)
When your doctors think you're full of shit for being young and having several disabilities, you know youre really part of 'the club'. 
Because young people can't be disabled. (Sarcasm)
Im usually not this enraged about my disabilities (and other disabled ppls struggles) but... shit just piles on you sometimes.
I coped with the world being inscrutable by day dreaming and making up my "own little world". Its helpful as an adult.
It doesnt take away the fact you're a 3rd class citizen.
But drawing weird creatures is nice! And my friends accept the weird things I say. And I dont have a good filter so I say things that are shocking but true.
I don't really have any disability inspiration porn to share, like the stuff they put on the news.
"You can get over your disability and still be successful! This person is 'handicapped' and doing things, so what excuse do you normal people have???"
That's always the fucking story. (I used 'handicapped' to illustrate how pissed I am and how common this inspiration porn is. Sorry.)
I live with pain, illness and mental disability best I can. That's kinda it.
Due to ADHD, long tests have been a nightmare. "All adults" are supposed to be able to pay attention on command. My autism: "All adults" are supposed to answer long tests without asking questions about the meaning of an ambiguous phrasing.
Autism just have me feeling like an Alien given a pamphlet about Earth. And from that, I'm supposed to be fluent in Earth customs and speech.
Im really not the only one saying this stuff.

And that's kinda how disability works. The world isnt designed for disabled people, so when they "magically appear from fairy land" one day, folks bitch, whine and moan when they must be accommodated.
If tests like my IT industry exam weren't long multiple choice trick questions done in a strange, sensory unfriendly room, I wouldn't have to navigate accommodations for testing. I'm anxious about the TEST FORMAT, not about me not knowing the info.
I've been thinking for a while what disability activists have been saying. Its the world around us that is disabling, not the person and their disability.
Ex: if wheelchair ramps were built into every building, there wouldn't be a problem for folks who use wheelchairs. But firms don't think about that when designing buildings so it becomes a big deal when they need to redesign part of the building to be legally accessible.
Shit was already dismal for disabled people.
I have been trying to elevate my mood but with these recent bills passed by the president and just passively allowed by Congress, things are going to get worse. My state is trying to fight mandates including ones that will hurt disabled people. But its only been 7 months. Can my state keep this up for 3.5 more years *at least*?
I just got diagnosed with stuff, I am less worried about proving disabilities.
