People don’t “receive” Medicaid They are “covered” by it The wording is important No one sits at home getting checks from Medicaid It covers medical expenses Period You also have to be practically destitute to get it No one dreams of qualifying for Medicaid

To the ppl who said I should have waited longer to write about what happened to me, I know for sure now I would no longer be able to at all. I’d also probably be dead (“good, it’d be better if you were dead,” they mutter, reading this)

The only actual way to stop the enshittification of art is to support artists not institutions. Institutions are AI by default, built off years of recycled slop thought. It’s not the mean scary algorithms’ fault - it’s ours

The goal of capitalism isn't simply to make a profit; it's to aggressively exploit the means of production to extract the max amount of capital from the system for its bagholders. An honest business can be successful w/o needing to bleed the customer & workers so the bosses rake

Personally i don't want to consume only the work that the great artists of my time are able to convince a corporation & team of editors, agents, & publicists to back; i want to read what they'd make if there were FREE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT & then maybe some ppl helped them move it

When your country is doing genocides and opening concentration camps I’m pretty sure nobody outside your brain bubble gives a fuck who the corporate-sponsored voice of your generation is

Good old reliable memes to the rescue when the poetry of slave owning attorneys is denigrated on this the day of our nation's birth

American christianity is a cult, not a religion. It is godless, soulless, and run by bigots who use spirituality to sell ppl into legal slavery by offering them a way out of the hole dug by a machine that discovered ppl will buy anything if they're scared enough. God hates them

You cannot support the United States government and also claim to believe in the teachings of Jesus. Anyone claiming to do both is either a liar or a fool (probably both)
