Gonna be real with you, I would have expected to need to have kicked off in person before "ignore the crazy" And today I found the full names of two ACC clients who were being considered for the Sept appt. Not going to publish those for obvious reasons, I shouldn't know those names. Priv a joke

Included here is the intro of the CW:suicide attempt, and how I spoke to ACC prior to reading the OIA. Underlined are points I take issue with, such as regarding cannabis, which I had recently resumed, making "increased" true, but misleading. Blacked out are my own and uninvolved names.
The rescinded request for mediation, actually dated from September 2024, not October.

It reads, "Hey Usufono,

Im[sic, just assume sic] not upset, just exhausted. I'd like to be referred to mediation as they told me that I cant refer it. [Redacted] told me if I left early this was a wash, but we had an agreement per the previous mediation*. This is just going to go on and on otherwise, and ive done this dance.

I provided the missing information today, can provide it again in writing if required prior to mediation.

You've been awesome**, [Redacted] was nice enough, the process is torture though.

Kind regards,

[Redacted]


*Author's note: the previous mediation had agreed that the appt prior, with Ndoc, would be the final appointment. the author agreed to the one above being told that this was where the errors could be corrected]

** If I knew then, lmaoThe introduction of the suicide attempt and all provided context. Redacted is a doctor I've never met. Underlined are points I take issue with.

From what I understand, POTS is basically fainting when you stand up. Verifiably not me.

Again, just taking issue with the disingenuous choice of the word "increased" here regarding cannabis use.

Image shamelessly stolen, but allow me to present the wisest figure in gaming. The pinnacle of NPCs. Pork bun vendor from Sleeping Dogs. Which incidentally, great game. Writing is hit or miss, but as you can see the hits are HITS
A street food seller is pictured next to some text which reads ""A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man" 
 - Pork bun man, 2012"

Day 3 of #YakuzaChallenge Best Fighting style? Tanimura, in Y4 he changed the game and you see his DNA in all the following brawler-style games. Parry, extended combos. Gotta pick it for the importance

Can't get my controller and steam to play nice, so 30 Days of Yakuza. Day1 of #YakuzaChallenge Fave Protag: Kiryu all day. Y1, when he saves the puppy because he was walking by. That was it, that's my guy. Apparently this is the only Kiryu screenshot I took
A tasteful black and white image of a 1980's Tokyo street where an absolute monster in an impeccable white suit waves a fan of cash as a bespectacled man with a bowl cut and a shirt best described as "quaint tablecloth" begs for mercy. Text reading "complete domination" is bannered over the image. 

Money rains from on high.

It is a screenshot from Yakuza 0

close enough to my life story for now. Trying to find the balance between having a voice again and shutting up. And my focus comes back to me, always. Pisses me off. Ended up only talking I was doing was defending myself against a wall of bureaucracy. Trying to unravel that on top is hard

Shorter version: Maybe being unable to work for a significant period and having a child to care for requires additional support services, probably even. Taking the ability to feed that child away isn't the way. This is that fucked shit. Ew
NZ's Ministry of Social Development reassures me that I am still to be completely supported with my illness, but it only remains complete because I wasn't uppity enough to have a baby and then become unwell

"not information held in his official capacity" maybe he just isn't privy to the info and the question about the Prime Minister's clothing should have been directed to one of his coalition partners? Bonus tidbit about how he paid for it himself for sure, but even if he didn't that's okay too
