bruh why is the NDIS so unnecessarily complicated what the fuck

(for those of you who don’t know the NDIS is just the ‘National Disability Insurance System’ which is like, if you have a disability that impacts your daily life and you need adaptive technology or aids the NDIS will pay for it (as long as you actually need it for your disability and the reason you need it is directly linked to your disability))

rant beneath the cut lol

I’m considering going on it to help me pay for my wheelchair (cuz 5000 AUD is impossible for me to save) but like, it’s so complicated and i need an official diagnosis and evidence supporting WHY I need financial help to afford it and WHY I need a wheelchair in the first place and it’s like ughhhhh just trust me when I say I need it like wtf. Doctors are notoriously bad at telling people when to use mobility aids because they consider it ‘giving up’ which is fucking stupid, like I’m ‘giving up’ because I want to be in less pain but still go to class and live life?? how does that make sense!?

Like srsly all I wanna do is just live life, go to my uni classes, go out with friends and eventually dates but I also know that I can’t do that without help! and at the moment. yes, crutches are helpful in that but also so was my cane and now after only 7 months of using it, it’s not helping as much as it did when I first brought it.

The pain that started in only my left hip has now moved to both hips, my thighs, my knees, hell even my fucking arms hurt sometimes and it’s not getting any better! I just don’t understand why it’s seen as ‘giving up’ when all I wanna do is just, live?? and be able to go out??? and be in minimal pain???? like jfc can someone please explain to me why that’s considered giving up? because I truly cannot understand it!!

"don't make it political!" .... what proportion of death and suffering must occur before politics are involved. if this isn't political, what is even the point of any politics, ever. of democracy. the words are "by the people for the people." if i am going to be left alone by my elected representatives to "figure it out" - to undergo damage, hardship, fear. what the fuck did i elect them for. what was their job. the entire point is that they handle this shit. this is why we were supposed to be electing leaders.

poverty is political. misogyny is political. gun control is political. climate change is political. how much aid a community gets is political. what the fuck are you talking about. it's been political this whole fucking time.

I’m gonna get a consolation soon! Once I get a concrete price I’ll probably set up a GoFundMe alongside the money I’m already saving. What are some unique ways I can fundraise for top surgery?

Who the FUCK decided that insurance companies get to decide what’s medically necessary????????

I must have been asleep, for certainly if I had been fully awake I must have noticed the approach of such a remarkable place.

Oh. Oh, hell. This is the first time I've caught this.

We already saw how Dracula was driving the caleche around the same route at first--biding time for midnight and likely trying to throw off Jonathan's direction--but this? If Jonathan is telling the truth, that he really did nod off in order to miss their arrival at the castle?

I'd put my money on Dracula having willed him down into a trance sleep.

So he wouldn't know how one is meant to get to and from the castle.

please help me by reblogging ‼️

hello im dylan. i make what money i can through doordashing but that barely covers even half of my bills and nowhere else will hire me rn (slow season in a tourist town). my car payment and car insurance are both scheduled to come out of my bank acct today and i barely have enough to cover the $135 in my checking account leaving me to have to use my credit card for my $150 car insurance. i also really need to buy groceries and get gas which i desperately need to keep working.

i currently am over $1000 in debt on my credit card and i really can’t afford to keep piling up the bills on it. the monthly fee ($99) for my HRT service just came out as well so i really need at least $400.

$155 (insurance) + $99 (hrt) + $60 (gas) + $100 (groceries) to at least get my credit card back down to only owing $1000. ideally i want to pay that all off but i know there’s no way i’m crowdfunding 1400. thank you guys this isnt terribly urgent but the sooner i can pay it off the better. ❤️

$60 / $400
