I'm sure their Life insurance should be able to cover their families with a 50 million dollar payout, each, to their families. Families that get everything approved with the best care while the rest of us lose more money in proportion to the point family members die because insurance said they had to wait a week for the results for a life-threatening issue.

You get to pay for your insurance indefinitely, and hopefully they have what you need covered because even if it's in a hospital, insurance can tell you you need to pay that 10k out of pocket, and that it might night count towards your deductible.

Anything having to do with any health insurance isn't run by any doctors, just lots of salespeople looking to be an executive sitting near the company CEO.

Having been able to work with upper management, I was hoping the stereotypes weren't true when I tried to make a difference, but they're all greedy snakes that are so disconnected they don't know the job processes the employees had to set up and will "act" like they know what they're doing by attempting to direct the employees they see maybe once every 2 months.

As they say, "I don't have to know how to do it, I just have to hire someone who does." All of those caricatures of rich people putting their product before their people aren't too far from the snobs. I GOT FIRED FOR BRINGING UP TOO MANY ACTUAL SAFETY ISSUES AT MY LAST JOB WHERE I NORMALLY GOT RADIO SILENCE. I should have listened to my dad from his 4 job experiences where he had to fix a lot of their mistakes from a much lower pay grade. Income fairness is a joke to them. I wanted to make a difference, but all I got was fired from a great warehouse team to work with who I miss seeing. Fucking hate the executives of that company who want everything yesterday.

and then they wonder why so many people aren't upset that the CEO of a health insurance company making billions in profit was shot

do it again please until they get the picture

It's not the most lit, but for my After Light profile, this is it:

(I like rhyming, huhuhuhuhu)

Do you have more than just tumblr that I can follow?

Not much because I wanted to reduce social spaces because it felt like having too many doors open to tend to. However, I have my personal YouTube channel under @JessyD. I have a BlueSky that's more towards dangerously furry After Dark, but you have me thinking about what I can do about a more professional profile given the site is currently booming. Tumblr will likely still be my main site because when the site works, the interface is pretty comfy.

Stay tuned, I'll brainstorm what to do as an "After Light" BlueSky profile.

Send Birthday Wishes, Please?

People following me know I've been going through the ringer lately with my mom having a long-term manic episode and my health insurance being cut off. Seasonal depression hitting hard too on top of all of that.

My Birthday is January 25th and I'm hoping I don't have to spend it isolated. I don't really have much in terms of local friends, and it's quite lonely out here and I'm feeling really down and discouraged about everything.

So once again I'm putting out a bit of an SOS that I could really use some letters of support, birthday cards, fan art, gifts, etc. People of course can send messages and fan art and such here on tumblr, but the physical letters would be something I could just easily pull out on a bad day to read through.

My P.O. Box: (Can be addressed to Jitterbug or Jack)

16055 SW Walker Rd #274Beaverton, OR, 97006

And if anyone’s feeling generous I do have an amazon wishlist that people should be able to buy and send stuff from without needing to be the middleman. I don’t update it much, it's mostly comics and snacks, but you should be able to organize it by priority to get a better idea of what things I’m most interested in. You can even add other stuff to the order that isn’t on the list and it will still be shipped to my P.O. Box!

AMAZON WISHLIST

Something I want to add is that I embraced my weirdness like a fresh start, but I've also been found by some of my friends without sharing my profile. So, it makes me wonder if it's a moot point in attempting to make another profile other than the fact my current one BlueSky is a little fetishy with no one under 18 is allowed to interact by extension.

I don't know. Think I should make another profile more clean?

I'm not planning to use my current profile to promote anything other than "relatively anything goes."

Wanted to send a massive congrats on your gender! Always know we support you no matter what!

Thank you so much! I'm certainly nervous starting out, but your genuine support really means a lot as a positive response.

Ive noticed recently that my generation has... no concept of what the various economic classes actually are anymore. I talk to my friends and they genuinely say things like "at least i can afford a middle class lifestyle with this job because i dont need a roommate for my one bedroom apartment" and its like... oughh

You guys, middle class doesnt mean "a stable enough rented roof over your head," it means "a house you bought, a nice car or two, the ability to support a family, and take days off and vacations every year with income to spare for retirement savings and rainy days." If all you have is a rented apartment without a roommate and a used car, you're lower class. That's lower class.

And i cant help but wonder if this is why you get kids on tumblr lumping in doctors and actors into their "eat the rich" rhetoric: economic amnesia has blinded you to what the class divides actually are. The real middle class lifestyle has become so unattainable within a system that relies upon its existence that theyve convinced you that those who can still reach it are the elites while your extreme couponing to afford your groceries is the new normal.

I can relate to that ND man.

My job has this fire safety training video we have to watch every year, and it is cringy as fuck because it treats us like elementary school children with "quirky" actors and cliche happy music for a kid's program. But the cringiest part about it is because it has an "awkward" guy who's just enthusiastic about making fire safety fun and entertaining but instead of letting him do his thing he's constantly shut down by the needlessly bitchy woman who insists on telling things the boring "professional" way and all I'm seeing is an eager excited nuerodivergent man being shamed for being nuerodivergent

and him being shit on all the time is supposed to be quirky and funny because he's supposed to be a "loser" when all he's doing is trying to entertain the audience.

meanwhile I'm over here seething like "LET THE MAN DO HIS DRAMA PERFORMANCE ABOUT FIRE GOD DAMMIT. HE SAID HE WORKED HARD ON HIS PRESENTATION AND I WANT TO SEE IT"

Red Riding Hood Page 52

[Links to previous and first page will be added after this final post goes public]

Thank you everyone who followed this comic! This one meant a lot to me and is very different from my original plans for Little Red Riding Hood. The original was lacking in creativity and just had Red reveal she was going to murder her grandma, and she pins it on the wolf. But I think this story was more important to tell.

I'm going to take a break from updating Once Upon A Calamity in 2025 so I can use that time to write more chapters. I plan to begin uploading the next chapter in 2026, which will be "The Little Red Hen".

See you then!

She is here! 💙💙💙💙 I worked with Jitty with him drawing out the commission to be how I enjoy the soft idea of looking while being the female me who is Jessie. 💙

A big reason I enjoy Tumblr more than other social media is for moments like this. People are less likely to double-down on potentially harsh responses. Like this one under a recent Mangione post I saw:

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this. ( Your Gender )

Thank you! I shall go in confidence! (Drawn by @jitterbugjive as a commission of making the female version of my character like how I feel. 💙)

congrats on the gender. Took me a long time to find out I'm transmale.

Thank you and congratulations to you as well!

Congrats on the gender!

Thank you, Anon! :D
