Got a glimpse of where we're at as a country medically via the r/nursing subreddit. People are really not okay and it's deeply scary. 'Letting it rip' when it comes to covid is killing thousands and disabling millions. With the latter, here's what it looks like:

Nurses saying they are seeing ear infections in kids all the time secondary to other illnesses (or routinely in adults which they have never seen before), nurses saying their hospitals are overrun by flus, rsv, norovirus, mycoplasma pneumonia. many people saying they went to the doctor sick as a dog and came out with 3 different illness diagnoses at the same time or that they and their kids get sick over and over and over. it is not normal for this to happen. we were lied to about covid, y'all.

have you and the people around you been physically as well this last year or two as they were in 2019?

If you didn't know, as a lot of people don't - covid makes you immunocompromised. It damages the immune system, blood vessels and organ systems. It's a vascular infection, not a cold. the more infections you get, the worse it is. In the lab it's considered a level 3 pathogen (categories are for risk level/safety protocols), in the same category as tuberculosis. People are being treated with IVIG, because it's for immunocompromised people.

Also there is improper preparation and tracking for a h5n1 (type of bird flu) that has a very real chance of evolving to become a pandemic this and/or next flu season. they are finding it in wastewater all over the country, someone in Louisiana is in critical condition with it. Flu vaccine provides partial protection to it so I'd highly recommend getting that this and next winter.

Following epidemiologists is really important and helpful. The government wants you to go to work and think things are normal so they don't have to send you another check - they are not invested in our collective wellness (in fact, they take tons of lobbying money from insurance companies invested in keeping you sick). With some of these folks saying it is taking them weeks to recover from the flu, I wonder if some of it isn't bird flu, though it could be just being significantly immunocompromised.

fwiw masks work. I haven't gotten as much as a cold in years. well fitting kn95s and n95s protect you. even if you can't wear one at work, wear one to the doctor, at the grocery store and pharmacy. it would really help disabled people in general too.

explain chinese medical care weird because. if you nondisabled it great. it so fast (sometimes in days!! days!!!!!! or in one day!!!!) (there some sacrifice for comfort in some part), n it much cheaper than US, both if ignore currency exchange & especially if include it n convert to USD (1 USD = 7 ish chinese yuan).

it even great for some/many disabled people, especially if your disability more. standard? idk word. like standard not always mean not rare here.

but. yet again. caution non chinese people be so amaze that this country better in every way through their perspective because. reality is also. many chinese people can’t afford medical care. many disabled chinese people can’t afford medical care. for some disabilities, medicine / treatment / equipments / therapies exist in US n other big west country (maybe even standard there!) but not here (or very rare, or very expensive, or not exist at all).

n. insurance here work different than US here n don’t really understand it but. pretty sure there no same protection for preexisting condition compare to US. preexisting condition can deny you from (life &) social insurance.

n for some disability it suck here. like if you get any “serious mental illness” diagnosis, you auto get put on (local government?) list. like bipolar. schizophrenia. schizoaffective. just diagnosis.

n for me with weird combo of disability that present in very unique way. basically mean no medical care for disabilities. not going explain what that mean n why but. mm. yeah

obvious am just random disabled person on internet who esp bc cognitively disabled, don’t take word for 100% but. just. critical thinking

Summary

In a last bid to try to repair her shattered relationship with her daughter Cissie, Bonnie purchases an old mansion on a hill. Cissie wants to believe that her mother has changed, she wants to believe that she can move on from being Arrowette, but it's not just houses that are haunted and sometimes the dead aren't quite what they seem.

Soon after moving into the Hayes Manor, an old mansion and site of a gruesome murder that took place in 1948 Cissie finds herself befriending one of the victims and together they find something that might be more than friendship - all the while Cissie unravels the mystery of 1948 while juggling trying to be a normal teenager.

Should be easy, right?

Excerpt

Bonnie drummed her fingertips on the wheel as the weight of what her daughter said hit her. “It’s not the same world I grew up in,” she sighed. “There’s a lot more craziness in the world. Supervillains used to be isolated to one or two wackos per hero, now it's quadruple that. Now it's cool to be Doomsday on the playground. It's normal business to capitalize on someone's death - make damn video games about it and rent his snuff film at Blockbuster for a buck ninety-nine. The depravity of the world is sickening Cis, I just wanted to give you the tools to protect you from it.”  Cissie had a different recollection of her mother’s motives and she bit her tongue from reminding Bonnie that the second she got her father’s insurance money she enrolled her in a revolving door of schools and lessons ranging from ballet to karate and twelve other martial arts during a time when all she wanted to do was grieve. She could do a pirouette while balancing a stack of books on her head and end it with a kick strong enough to shatter collarbones all while reciting Shakespeare and Ovid. It was a time of both isolation and suffocating control where she had no sense of self or autonomy other than what name she wanted her mother to use when she criticized her ‘performances’.  She bit the words back and instead she choked out an awkward cough when she saw a decrepit wooden sign with peeling green paint peering around unkempt juniper bushes. Even though they were faded, the letters were clear in their white cursive script.  H A Y E S  M A N O R  “That’s the house right mom?” Cissie asked and Bonnie slowed down as she turned a sharp corner. The house was finally visible then, dark and lonely, nestled on several acres of ill-kept land. If Cissie wasn’t actively looking for the house, she might have missed it in the swaths of colorful trees and green ivy crawling over it. 

Cissie frowned.  She expected old, she expected secluded, but she did not expect decrepit and totally isolated from humanity. “That’s the house?” she said, doubt dripping between each word.  “I told you it needed a little landscaping done girlie. Trust me, she’s beautiful on the inside.” Bonnie pulled up next to two moving vans that had been waiting for her. “Good, they got started already!”  Cissie still couldn’t help but stare at the wall of ivy that made the house look like a dungeon from one of Bart’s video games. Each window was like black ice cast against the green, but in one she could have sworn she saw movement. Brushing it off as seeing one of the curtains, Cissie got out of the car.

How Can a Personal Injury Attorney Help with Vacation-Related Injuries?

Vacations are a time to relax, explore, and make lasting memories. Unfortunately, unexpected accidents or injuries can disrupt your plans, turning a joyful trip into a stressful experience. From slip-and-fall accidents at resorts to car accidents on unfamiliar roads, navigating the aftermath of a vacation-related injury can feel overwhelming. This is where a Tucson personal injury attorney steps in to provide guidance and support.

Common Types of Vacation-Related Injuries

Vacation-related injuries can occur in a variety of settings, often due to negligence or unsafe conditions. Some common examples include:

Slip-and-Falls at Resorts or Hotels: Wet floors, poorly maintained pathways, or uneven surfaces can result in serious injuries.

Car Accidents: Driving in unfamiliar areas or renting a vehicle can increase the risk of accidents.

Swimming Pool Incidents: Poor maintenance or lack of supervision at pools in hotels or vacation rentals can lead to injuries.

Recreational Activity Injuries: Activities like zip-lining, jet skiing, or scuba diving can pose risks, especially if safety protocols are ignored or equipment is faulty.

Food Poisoning: While not a traditional injury, foodborne illnesses can cause significant health complications during your trip.

These injuries are often preventable and occur due to someone else’s negligence.

Determining Responsibility for Vacation Injuries

Liability for vacation injuries often depends on the circumstances of the incident. Identifying who is responsible is crucial for pursuing compensation, and a Tucson personal injury attorney can investigate to determine the liable party. Potentially responsible parties include:

Property Owners: Hotels, resorts, or vacation rental owners must maintain safe conditions for their guests. Negligence in addressing hazards can make them liable.

Tour Operators or Activity Providers: Companies organizing recreational activities must ensure proper safety measures. Failing to provide adequate equipment or instructions can lead to liability.

Car Rental Companies: The rental company may be held accountable if a poorly maintained rental vehicle contributes to an accident.

Other Drivers: When another driver’s negligence causes a car accident, their insurance may cover your damages.

How a Tucson Personal Injury Attorney Can Assist

Navigating a personal injury claim after a vacation injury can be complex, especially when dealing with unfamiliar laws or multiple insurance policies. A personal injury attorney can offer critical support in areas such as:

Thorough Investigations: Collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing accident reports are essential to building a strong case.

Dealing with Insurance Companies: An attorney will manage communications, ensuring you are not pressured into accepting a low settlement.

Navigating Local or International Laws: If the injury occurred in another state or country, your attorney will help you understand and adhere to the applicable laws.

Calculating Damages: They’ll account for all your expenses, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage, to ensure fair compensation.

Steps to Take After a Vacation-Related Injury

Taking immediate action is crucial to protect your health and legal rights if you've been injured on vacation. Here’s what you should do:

Seek Medical Care: Prioritize your health and keep all medical records and receipts.

Document the Incident: Take photos, collect witness information, and note the conditions that led to your injury.

Report the Injury: Inform the relevant party, whether it’s a hotel manager, tour operator, or another responsible entity. Request a copy of any accident report filed.

Consult a Personal Injury Attorney: Contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible to begin building your case.

Why Choose a Tucson Personal Injury Attorney?

Vacation injuries can leave you dealing with physical pain, emotional distress, and financial burdens. A Tucson personal injury attorney can provide the expertise you need to navigate legal complexities and protect your rights. From investigating your claim to negotiating with insurance companies, they aim to help you recover the compensation you deserve and get your life back on track.

If you’ve been injured on vacation, don’t face the challenges alone. Contact a trusted Tucson personal injury attorney to explore your options and take the first step toward recovery.

help me move out of my controlling parents' house

hi, everyone. i'm a 29 year old autistic woman and i need help moving out of my toxic parent's household in order to live a normal and healthy life. in no way am i intellectually impaired, my mother uses my neurodivergence to infantilize me. she has always been controlling, but her grip is tightening and the demands she's placing on me are unreasonable. not only that, but she's violating my boundaries by telling her customers at work my personal business and seeking their opinions on what i should and shouldn't be allowed to do. i'm having to lie about going on dates with my friend who's also a love interest because she doesn't want me to have a boyfriend. she literally sat down next to me and made me friendzone him over instagram DMs so she would be more comfortable about a day trip we were planning, even though that was a lie and i have romantic feelings.

she's forcing purity culture on me, an adult woman, and making it so that i have no choice but to maintain my virginity with threats and a bizarre obsession with it, telling me not to be "giving anything away" when i'm just going out for coffee or a picnic, i'm having to lie about where i am because she'll cause trouble even though i'm not doing anything wrong, she's accusing me of being "up to something" and it's uncomfortable around the house when she tells me i'm being too quiet and i've "changed". i haven't "changed", and i just think she's afraid of losing control over me, so she's treating me like a teenager. she keeps demanding info about my dates with the same person, where i'll be, what time, what i'm wearing and getting too involved, then proceeding to guilt me into not engaging in any kind of sexual activity when that's not even on the table and i'm terrified of losing my virginity because of the consequences should she find out (and she will in one way or another). i don't have agency over that and it's not a choice i "get" to make, and i'm scared that if that moment comes, it's not going to be about me or my partner. it's going to be about her and the guilt and fear i've been conditioned with, and paranoia. i'm not allowed to go to another adult man's house unless his mother is home. these rules are reasonable for an adolescent or a high schooler, but this is just ridiculous and she insists i need to be chaperoned on dates. i'm not allowed to go out at night, even though i'll be with an absolute sunshine of a guy who promised to protect me and i can trust. my mother is getting other people involved in my love life and i'm living on eggshells, finding that i have to hide parts of myself and my identity because she's blowing everything out of proportion and criticizing my fashion choices and what i can/can't wear.

earlier this summer, she had her coworker besties and familiar customers weigh in on whether or not i should be "allowed" to go to the beach with my friend and she put a tracker on my phone. at 29 years old. i became so ill with severe anxiety that i lost weight, fell into depression, felt nauseous and developed a habit of shaking when i'm nervous.

i don't have any other friends or family to live with (he lives with his parents too and is also ND) and she's holding money over my head to keep me indebted. i owe her $3500 for helping me fix my car because i accidentally dented it getting too close to our gate trying to make room in the driveway for my dad's car and she wouldn't let me park in the garage, aka what it's there for. she charges me $500 rent per month and on top of my phone and car insurance bill, i have nothing left to give her or save to pay her back.

i'll never be able to move out with this financial obligation or even save up, and i really need help because this is unhealthy and her imposed rules, spreading my personal business, disrespect and exertion of control and manipulation over me is escalating. i have a job and it's not enough, barely covers my bills and rent. please help me because i'm beginning to feel like there's no way out and i need to get free. if you have some extra money to spare and you're feeling kind enough to help me, my paypal is:

thank you so much, and please spread this so that others may see it and help me. <3

Some Gen Zers have grown critical of capitalism in recent years.

Rather than dismiss the whole system, many are embracing an idea one researcher calls "safety capitalism."

Gen Zers are less likely to take certain risks, which could be one reason they want more of a social safety net. 

When someone loses their job or can't work for health reasons, how much government support should they receive? If you ask many Gen Zers that question, they'll say the current social safety net is insufficient.

Christina Elson, executive director of the Center for the Study of Capitalism at Wake Forest University, told Business Insider that many young people have embraced an idea she calls "safety capitalism."

The theory behind safety capitalism is that a successful capitalist system can and should provide sufficient protection — or safety — for those who need support following circumstances like a job loss or illness. One of the key questions facing any economic system is, "What should failure look like," Elson asked.

While many Americans receive support from a variety of social programs such as unemployment, food stamps, or disability, some of these have been scaled back since the height of the pandemic. As things stand, many Gen Zers think the US's social safety net is inadequate.

Sixty-five percent of Gen Zers think the government should provide a job to anyone who wants one, according to a Wake Forest survey of 2,000 Gen Zers and millennials conducted with YouGov in 2022. Forty-five percent said they had a positive impression of universal basic income policies. In a 2023 survey conducted by the same group, 65% percent of Gen Zers said unemployment payments should match one's salary.

Most Gen Zers still support capitalist ideas like private home ownership and entrepreneurship, Elson said. But many are frustrated with how the high costs of things like healthcare, housing, and education have taken a financial toll on Americans — and think these systems could benefit from more government intervention.

"You hear about 'billionaires should be outlawed' — that really isn't the issue," Elson previously told BI regarding Gen Zer's concerns. "The issue is the bottom. What is the appropriate bottom living standard for an American citizen, and what role should the government have in ensuring that people don't fall below that?"

Some are even turning away from capitalism altogether. In a Business Insider survey conducted last July of over 1,800 Americans, 28% of Gen Z respondents said they somewhat or strongly preferred the economic system of socialism over capitalism, the most of any generation. Twenty-nine percent of Gen Zers preferred capitalism — the rest didn't have a preference or weren't sure.

Why Gen Z wants an expanded safety net

Compared to past generations, young people today are less likely to drive, drink, have sex, and more likely to live at home, per some surveys. Elson said these examples point to a level of risk aversion that may be unique to Gen Zers.

"Gen Z are 'younger for longer,' — they go out into the world slower," she said, adding, "What is it that this generation needs in order to feel that they're able to go out there and take risks?"

Elson said many Gen Zers seek a "redesign of social safety" to enhance what some feel is an outdated system. For example, unemployment insurance and Social Security were introduced nearly 90 years ago during the Great Depression.

The financial challenges currently facing the Social Security system — due in part to the US's aging population — are arguably further evidence of a system that's in need of reform.

"All of this network has been designed for another time and place," Elson said.

Exactly what, if any, changes the US should make to its social safety net is up for debate. Some young people may look to Europe, where countries generally have a larger social safety net than the US.

In Germany, eligible unemployed individuals receive between 60% and 67% of their previous salary for up to a year. Policies like universal health insurance and guaranteed sick leave are also more common in Europe. Before temporary changes were enacted during the pandemic, most US states offered six months of unemployment benefits, with Americans collecting an average of $372 a week, per PBS.

Regardless, Elson said it's important that the US's entrepreneurial culture — which can reward risk-taking and drive economic progress — remains intact.

Most businesses fail, but as prominent investor Charlie Munger once said — and Elson referenced in a recent post — a level of failure may be necessary to have a thriving economy.

"Capitalism without failure is like religion without hell," Munger said.

The Mental Health Crisis: A Deep Dive into Causes, Consequences, and Solutions

The global mental health crisis represents one of the most pressing yet neglected public health challenges of our time. Characterized by rising rates of mental illness, inadequate treatment systems, and systemic failures in prevention, this crisis demands urgent attention and radical reform.

1. Understanding the Scope of the Crisis

Global Prevalence: Nearly 1 billion people live with a mental disorder (WHO, 2022)

Treatment Gap: Up to 70% of those needing care receive no treatment (worse in low-income countries)

Economic Impact: Mental health conditions cost the global economy $1 trillion annually in lost productivity

2. Key Contributing Factors

A. Biological & Psychological Factors:

Genetic predispositions

Neurological differences

Trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)

B. Social Determinants:

Poverty and income inequality

Discrimination (racism, sexism, ableism)

Social isolation and loneliness epidemic

Climate anxiety and ecological grief

C. Systemic Failures:

Underfunded services (average <2% of health budgets)

Fragmented care systems

Overreliance on pharmaceutical solutions

Workforce shortages (global deficit of 1.2 million mental health workers)

3. Critical Issues in Current Systems

Diagnostic Challenges:

Overmedicalization of normal distress

Cultural bias in diagnostic criteria

Late or missed diagnoses

Access Barriers:

Financial (high costs of treatment)

Geographical (urban-rural disparities)

Structural (long wait times, insurance hurdles)

Quality of Care Problems:

Overuse of institutionalization

Lack of trauma-informed approaches

Inadequate follow-up care

4. Populations Disproportionately Affected

GroupKey ChallengesYouthRising suicide rates, academic pressure, digital stressMarginalized CommunitiesSystemic barriers, cultural stigma, provider biasHealthcare WorkersBurnout, PTSD, high suicide ratesIncarcerated Individuals50%+ have mental health conditionsRefugeesTrauma, lack of culturally appropriate care

5. Promising Solutions and Innovations

System-Level Reforms:

Integration of mental health into primary care

Mental health parity laws for insurance coverage

Community-based crisis response teams (vs. police)

Emerging Models:

Digital mental health platforms

Peer support specialist programs

School-based mental health education

Policy Priorities:

Increased funding for prevention programs

Workplace mental health protections

Decriminalization of mental health crises

6. The Path Forward

Addressing the mental health crisis requires:

Paradigm Shift: From individual pathology to social determinants

Investment: At least 5% of health budgets to mental health

Integration: Mental health in all policies (education, housing, labor)

Innovation: Scaling evidence-based alternative therapies

The crisis reflects not just medical failures, but societal values. Real progress demands we address both treatment gaps and the root causes of distress - from economic inequality to social fragmentation. Only by reimagining our approach to mental wellbeing can we create a system that truly supports all members of society.

i realize i am very privileged. i realize that even if my family dont "agree" with me being trans they probably would have left me to it to some extent even if i was worried about arguments and judgment.

i mean they could throw me out i suppose but it isn't like my gut reaction its just a fear.

but i was afraid of these things and still am.

and because of this i kept waiting for the right moment to come out to them.

and trump got elected and i was just like i cant wait much longer and hes not going to be able to make that much difference that fast

because while not super great there were things in place that hadn't been before. and to some extent i would have been able to say "right now i can transition and it wont make much legal difference"

now of course things are back tracking hard.

back to being officially crazy or delusional or brainwashed by trends or worse.

and. i still obviously want to move forward.

cant argue that its safe to do so. that things are not getting worse. but i still can physically transition as of right now and....

im scared of course that will go away. and that if it does i will have started for nothing because what little i will have done will partially revert and i will have painted an obvious target on myself without even being able to reap the benefits of even idk like a beard.

like even if my family didn't care if i was trans,they would argue against me starting to transition now because of the possible ramifications.

the thing is. i dont want to wait. waited long enough. i want to do. be. feel. exist. be taken of hold in my own life.

it has gone from not being a thing. to im not special. l to oh its an actual possibility but im not special enough. its not allowed for me. to a possibility. to a delicious day dream. to a wish. to a hope. to a desire.

im not at need yet. but i am not waiting until i want to claw my skin off if thats what it takes.

i have shoved this down inside of me and protected myself from out side criticism while criticizing myself the whole time.

i am. scared. tired. angey. and sick. of how things are going and we're less than a month into this bullshit.

i am not going to give them any legal reason to do anything- though soon it may be just being on t might be enough idk - i will not seek legal transitions. i will not get a diagnosis of dysphoria or what have you so something can be fed to my insurance. hell i probably wont tell work company.

i will just slowly change and when people ask and i dont know them like that i will say i have a health condition. if anyone presses further im working on it with my doctor. thats all they get to know.

thats not something anyone can act on as of yet. a d if just being on t becomes something actionable i will of course revisit my opinions. if they take the ability to take t away i will revisit my options.

but im not going to obey in advance of thier obvious intentions. im not going to just change my mind or how i feel because theyre going "actually fact check this is bullshit" why you lying like that.

i know im not alone, i know there are so many trans people in the world. i know there have been throughout history.

and even if it was proven that sure trans people exist but i am not one of them i would want to try transitioning until i felt for myself that it wasn't what i wanted.

and what harm would it do? oh no ill be modifying my body un nessesarily . itas my body what does it matter.

the health concerns - im willing to assume the risks

ill be stuck as an ugly girl - matter of opinion but im kinda not "taking care of my appearance" anywas, a lot of the changes will revert, and the ones that dont im fairly aware of and am will to accept the risk of having to keep even if i dont end up liking transitioning

the legal or job related ramifications - im not seeking any changes from outside forces right now, im not having it documented, and if going to planned parenthood or taking t becomes reason enough to come for me in the night - or day - i probably have bigger issues and theres too many comments on the internet for me not to probably be dragged away for "reeducation" or "mental help"

if my job fires me because i start growing a beard and i decide its too much of a hassle to mitigate that by shaving regularly (or i just. want a beard) or because my voice gets annoying and then drops. or my boobs disappear later then idk i sue them for looking at me and going "thats an ugly girl" because like. i aint telling them i aint an "ugly girl" and what they suspect aint actionable as it has not changed anything about my job preformance.

also all this shit takes time. theres gonna be people fighting back. theres going to be well actuallys. theres gotta be actual legislation.

socially becoming a target - to some extent it is a free country. to some extent the right to swing your fist ends with the other persons nose. if that changes too much more my having a vigina will work just as much against me socially as me rocking a beard.

i am so tired. i feel like ive been strangling this feeling inside me all my life though i can only prove that i have since 2018. thats what? 7 years? pretty long ass time. ive reflected and consider enough.

im ready to act.

it shouldn't make a difference. i will mitigate the things i know will. i acknowledge that even then it will make a difference.

but this is not up for debate. i wont let it be.

somehow...

im awful at setting boundaries.

but this isnt going away because some assholes have decided its not real. its not going away because it would be safer if it did. its not going away because my family will probably think its stupid and i could just not.

i am getting ahead of the point where i just not cant.

by a slim margin.

this is not a submission for review. this is notification of whats going to happen.

The Sad Truth About Disability: Insights from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

In a recent episode of *Last Week Tonight*, host John Oliver tackled the complex and often heartbreaking realities surrounding disability in modern society. With his signature blend of humor and pointed critique, Oliver shed light on the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, exposing systemic issues that are often overlooked. This blog aims to explore the key topics discussed in the episode and reflect on the broader implications of disability in our world today.

The Marginalization of Disabled Individuals

One of the central themes of Oliver's episode was the societal marginalization of people with disabilities. While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was a significant step forward in ensuring equal rights and access, many barriers still exist. Oliver highlighted how, despite legal protections, individuals with disabilities often face discrimination in various aspects of life, including employment, healthcare, and public spaces.

The episode emphasized that the representation of disabled individuals in media and culture is often lacking or misrepresented. Stereotypes and misconceptions can perpetuate stigma, making it difficult for those with disabilities to gain acceptance and understanding from society. By addressing these issues, Oliver called for a reevaluation of how disability is perceived and discussed in our cultural narrative.

The Inaccessibility of Public Spaces

Oliver pointed out the persistent inaccessibility of public spaces, despite regulations meant to enforce compliance with the ADA. Many buildings, transportation systems, and public facilities remain ill-equipped to accommodate individuals with disabilities. The host humorously but seriously illustrated how seemingly small oversights can accumulate, leading to significant obstacles for those who rely on accessibility features.

The episode showcased real-life examples of individuals who encounter barriers daily, such as inaccessible restrooms, public transportation that is not wheelchair-friendly, and the lack of proper accommodations in workplaces. These issues serve as a reminder that while laws exist, enforcement and practical application often fall short, leading to further marginalization of disabled individuals.

The Burden of Healthcare Inequities

Another crucial topic Oliver addressed was the inequities in healthcare faced by people with disabilities. The episode tackled the often frustrating and complicated relationship individuals with disabilities have with healthcare systems. Many disabled persons encounter difficulties accessing necessary medical care, receiving proper diagnoses, or obtaining adequate support services.

Oliver highlighted the stark reality that healthcare systems frequently prioritize cost over patient needs, which can lead to inadequate care for those with disabilities. This inequity is exacerbated by systemic issues such as lack of insurance coverage or high out-of-pocket costs for necessary treatments. The episode underscored the urgent need for reform in the healthcare system to ensure that individuals with disabilities receive the quality care they deserve.

The Financial Struggles of Disabled Individuals

Moreover, the episode delved into the financial struggles faced by many with disabilities. Oliver revealed how societal barriers and systemic discrimination can limit employment opportunities for disabled individuals. The fear of losing critical benefits often discourages individuals from seeking work, creating a cycle of poverty and dependence.

The episode pointed out that many disabled individuals live below the poverty line, with limited access to resources that could improve their quality of life. Oliver's discussion highlighted the need for comprehensive support systems that empower individuals with disabilities to achieve financial independence and stability.

The Importance of Representation and Advocacy

Throughout the episode, Oliver emphasized the importance of representation and advocacy for individuals with disabilities. He called for a more inclusive approach to policymaking and a push for representation in media to ensure that the voices of disabled individuals are heard and valued.

By uplifting disabled voices and experiences, society can foster greater understanding and empathy. Oliver urged viewers to engage in activism, advocating for policy changes that promote accessibility, equity in healthcare, and the dismantling of societal barriers that hinder disabled individuals from living fulfilling lives.

Conclusion: A Call to Action

John Oliver's recent episode on disability serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in society. By addressing the marginalization, inaccessibility, healthcare inequities, and financial struggles, the episode shone a light on the sad truth about disability—one that is often overlooked in public discourse.

As advocates for change, it is crucial that we continue to engage in conversations about disability, challenge societal norms, and push for inclusive policies that uplift and support disabled individuals. By doing so, we can work towards a more equitable society where everyone, regardless of their abilities, has the opportunity to thrive and be valued.

In the words of John Oliver, it is time to break down the barriers and ensure that the voices of those with disabilities are not just heard but amplified. Only then can we begin to address the systemic issues that have long persisted and work towards a brighter future for all.

I hope this blog provides a thoughtful overview of the important topics John Oliver touched on regarding disability and encourages further reflection and action on these crucial issues!

CHAPTER 6 THOUGHTS BABYYY

“He’s extremely weird.” You like him a lot. - STOPPP ILL FUCING DIE

Chip apologizing after kissing his cheek AGAIN THE CARE THEY HAVE FOR EACH OTHER IS SO💓💖💕

HER CALLING HIM BEAR😭😭😭🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

“It’s very good.” SIR- SIR?????!!!

You just look correct there, in the kitchen. In his kitchen. phewww i know that’s right!!

Carmy Bad News / Bad News Bear - NOOO I WANT TO GIVE THIS MAN THE BIGGEST HUG -  PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS!!!

Carmen’s quick to chime in, already going to untie his apron, “I can—” - this absolutely clueless cutie 🫶🏼

Syd immediately clocking that they’re down bad for each other - yeah that feels correct

HEHEHE He's a freak and he's perfect!!!!!!!

The amount of times i use the word 'good' (bro don't even get me started on the next chapter dropping in a second),,, someone buy me a fuckin thesaurus except don't. I know there's so many words other than good. But there's simply something about good that is just. Fuckin. rrraaaGGGGHHHHHHH.

i refuse to answer any praise kink allegations at this time.

It's so fuckin' sad dipping into his brain for a bit writing and going like 'yeahhhhh, he's not gonna be doin' well about this' and that's basically any and every time i'm in his brain. whoops. we gotta get this motherfucker some insurance he needs a therapist.

Carmen is so very like service top, at least to me, so it's always Help before Think Critically.

And SYD WITH THE SNIPE!!!! Syd is always correct. I can't name a moment where she hasn't been correct. Maybe that one time she did stab a man and not at all even a little bit apologize. Maybe that was a little bad. but she's allowed to stab people, as a treat.
