#Last Week with John Oliver

[cryptidswitch]

So I have a deep appreciation for late night host John Oliver and all he does, but I have an even greater love for one of his running gags. In several of his episodes he flashes up a joke alternative title card for his show and I have been collecting screenshots of these cards. Here is my collection.

I remember being shuffled around to random specialists who looked at my cerebral palsy and epilepsy and fibromyalgia and ADHD and still said I was fine. My lawyer was extremely good and got me a very sympathetic judge he knew well and vocational expert who firmly determined I needed the SSDI. The sheer fact that I was made to run around to a bunch of different doctors and fill out so many forms and prove every single symptom was insane.

The judge said he'd read through all 70 printed pages of my LiveJournal entries describing my seizures for years and decided that between that and the mixed cerebral palsy I absolutely deserved SSDI and he was very glad my husband and my cats helped me out.

This was back in 2012. I filed in 2010. In fact, I hired the lawyer who helped my friend, who was his fastest case in decades, and this woman had over forty medical conditions. Most people filing for SSDI are not as lucky.

And this is just SSDI. I am allowed to actually build a savings account, be married legally and stay married, and live my life without agencies peering over my shoulder.

I know an older couple who chose to get divorced and live apart rather than lose the wife's disability support.

I have a brief cameo in this episode of Last Week Tonight (Season 11 episode 10) about book banning and attacks on public libraries. It's available on HBO Max or here on youtube. It's also the 300th ever Last Week Tonight episode which is cool, I love a round number.
