They had a few months to get him a wheelchair that fits, is comfortable, makes him look like he is an in charge guy, etc but they got this floppy piece of crap transport chair. All of these folks around him getting paid to think of every angle, every strategy, etc but none thought of this? 1/

(sorry for the random unclaimed property rant - GA makes it so hard to get your funds!) But why on earth is the state conducting business this way? Taking a full year to pay disabled people to go to contracted providers isn’t ok. Neither is pretending to pay them! #SocialSecurity 4/4

I thought they must have been clearing out a backlog- good for them! #StateOfGeorgia I deposited it. Tell me why I got a call from my bank saying the state recalled that check?!? And now I have a fee, too! IKYFL Brian! Come on now! Y’all have unclaimed property money tied up but can’t pay up? 3/

When I submitted my voucher after the appt for the doctor appt for the most recent appeal I reminded them again. I don’t care if it’s change they owe me money! So here comes my check THANK YOU #Georgia At least one voucher is paid. The next week I got another check! Ok! 2/

In fall of 2025 GVRA sent me to see 2 doctors as part of my SSDI/ SSI application & after you go there’s a voucher to cover the cost of going to the appt that you submit. I submitted those vouchers and sent reminders letting them know they owe me that $ when I filed my appeal. 1/

They were really nasty during the BLM protests of 2020 and have had some very bad takes over the years. Before October 7th they had already made it clear that they were not to be supported by anyone who was for human rights/ civil rights, etc

Using that word in the autopsy IS 100% disgusting & incredibly degrading. Totally unacceptable. I don’t think it’s appropriate, especially for someone at least presenting as white to make that racialized comparison, though.

I’ve been noticing that they’ll have an episode free then the rest are paywalled. I get it but I’ve been waiting years for SSDI so I’m not able to subscribe like that.

MSM, some quick notes: 1. It’s not a settlement (the case was dismissed). 3. It’s not a ballroom (it’s a bunker). 3. It’s not a library (Trump said it will be a hotel). It matters that you get it right.

Ok - I’m going to blame it on not feeling great ahead of Thanksgiving & then not doing a great job at pacing (plus eating a ton of sugar) so I think my brain fog is making me a mess. What is EL? I should know this, right?

I love documentaries and thought it was really a fantastic one. If you haven’t read Elton John’s memoir “Me” I absolutely recommend it- I listened to the audiobook during a cross country move and Taron Egerton did a beautiful job with it.

I introduced my friend to my stepfather’s mom who immediately said, “oh your hair is pretty are you Guatemalan?” 🧐 No, lady she is Black. Also there was no cranberry sauce. We snuck away to play banana grams and watch a Roy Woods JR special.

You best believe my white ass checked in with my friend to see where/ how she was after that random AF comment from the mother of my mom’s ignorant AF husband. I was ready to use my cane for alternative purposes. I don’t care if that lady was in her 90’s. 3/

This weird & inappropriate AF line of questioning was directed toward my friend (a Black Woman) who joined us for Thanksgiving & has been over several times before. Nothing about her looks remotely Guatemalan. WHAT WAS THE REASON?!?! Can you even find Guatemala on a map old lady? 2/

Somehow I managed to get picked to be on a jury once where they were (amongst other things) trying to prove that the police had been incompetent. We were in there longer doing the paperwork than anything else because we saw it. This is why I always encourage folks to go be on a jury if they can.

Learn about being intersectional. Learn about so much more than that trash ass paper of record 🙄 that promotes transphobia, xenophobia, racism, fascism and so much more could ever teach you. And if there’s something in there you must read support your library - they’ll hook you up with it.
