#rip medical debt

[spnscripthunt-inactive]

Script 1 of 7 donated by Kripke for our final fundraiser for RIP Medical Debt kicking off on April 25: an early draft of the Supernatural pilot!

Supernatural pilot script signed by Eric Kripke with a note from him on the cover page: "Original pilot that got tossed out — whole different story — enjoy this alternative reality Sam and Dean"

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs plans to cancel $2 billion in medical debt for up to 1 million residents. This is the biggest medical debt cancellation proposal in the country. The Governor plans to use $30 million in federal funds to buy and cancel the debt with RIP Medical Debt.

At least two other states — Connecticut and New Jersey — have moved to erase medical debt owed by their residents, in addition to a growing number of municipal and county governments across the nation.

I MADE ANOTHER ZINE, FREAKING FINALLY! This one's free for downloading, too!

@orangezines, I'm tagging you in this, thought you might like it.

This one's an experiment. If it goes well, and folks want to read it, I'm gonna make it a monthly thing. It's pretty US-centric, because I mostly wrote it for my own community, but I geared it for everyone who happens to be below the poverty line.

It's available on my Ko-Fi. A free download includes a PDF you can read on your phone, and one that's ready to print and share. Or you can buy a paper copy for $2 shipping and handling, basically just the cost of paper and ink.

Monthly donation?

Helloooo, this is your secretary at the keyboard, hitting you with a new jam!

I have donated to this place in the past, and I am sharing it before posting. It is a foundation based on abolishing medical debt in the USA! While the xife and I are not Americans, we do believe that our cousins to the Southern deserve a fair chance at life, and that starts with freeing yourself from the debts from a fraudulent insurance system!

There is a newsletter if you want to subscribe.

Again, thank you for everybody who is letting this happen, and to those who are sharing, liking, and enjoying our work!

For those currently affected by the medical debt system, there is a list of resources that you can have access to right here:

Fuzzy's Commissions to Reduce Medical Debt!

I have wanted to do something like this for a while. I can't do much on my own, but maybe my art will help get some people out of a hole. After the commission sheets I will have more info and links.

How it Works

1. Message me so we can discuss exactly what you want and if I can do it.

2. Once we agree on the subject and price, donate through my Tiltify campaign for RIP Medical Debt.

3. Once the donation is completed, I will put you on the list and start working as soon as I can.

4. I will try and send a WIP shot to make sure I am going in the right direction. I'll send you your art as soon as I finish it. Please keep in mind I have a full time job and a family. Art is something I do for fun. I will get exactly $0 of what you donate. If you are looking for a quick turn around or a piece where you can do massive edits, then I am not the artist for you. This is for charity. Please keep that in mind.

If you have any questions, just message me!

Now... for the important stuff! LINKS!

Tiltify Link. Tiltify is mainly used by streamers to raise money for charity. I chose Tiltify because they are trusted by many people to properly get the donations to the charities and I don't have to deal with any of the money handling.

My goal is to raise $100 for RIP Medical Debt. RIP Medical Debt is a charity that buys medical debt for pennies on the dollar and forgives it. They have been around for a while and I trust them. For every $100 they forgive $100000 of debt.

Here is my Art Fight page to see more examples of my work.

Connecticut governor Ned Lamont has announced a joint plan between the state government and the non-profit group RIP Medical Debt to abolish approximately $650 million in medical debt, using the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act.

The 5th script of 7 donated by Eric Kripke as a raffle prize for our final fundraiser for RIP Medical Debt (kicking off on April 25) is...

4.22 "Lucifer Rising" (his director's copy!)

This is really quite beautiful and quietly inspiring, especially the bit at the end about Casey McIntyre, who died of cancer a few weeks ago and who wanted to raise money to abolish other people's medical debt instead of flowers for her funeral. That is a really kind and powerful thing to do.

The fundraising for that is through RIP Medical Debt, which I've mentioned before. A penny destroys a dollar of debt, so basically, for your typical overpriced Starbucks seasonal drink, you can wipe out more than $500 of debt for someone.

It's Thanksgiving in the USA. I believe that gratitude for good things generally inspires people to share good things. If you have time and $5 (their minimum donation), consider expressing your gratitude for the good things in life by making a good thing happen for someone else.

Here's the link specific to Casey: https://ripmedicaldebt.org/campaign/andrewrosegregory-47569/?

andew is my brother-in-law's best friend, and next weekend i'll be in nyc to take care of my niece while he and my sister attend casey's memorial. if you're able, i'd encourage you to donate to her medical debt cancellation fund (the original goal was to raise $20k which would have covered $2M...now they've raised over $650k to wipe out about $60M) to help join in the cause in her honor.

“And no, Jensen, not in key.”

This script (and many others!) are official scripts from Eric Kripke himself, and are going to be part of a fundraiser for Undue Medical Debt (formerly known as RIP Medical Debt). They buy medical debt for pennies, and then forgive it! The fundraiser starts April 25th! That’s right, this script could be yours! Click HERE for more info!

hanahaki disease “… in which the victim coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love. It ends when the beloved returns their feelings, or when the victim dies…”

part i / part ii / part iii / part iv

agent who slowly withdraws from poly!tf141 after the first episode of bloodied flowers (realising they’re in love), from declining offers to relax in the rec room, accompany them to the local pub, or even working out in the gym to sparring.

agent knows that they’re not being subtle, see’s the guys try and figure what is going on with them. but agent refuses to let them find out—never.

agent who finally manages (after ensuring they wouldn’t hack up another flower) to file a notice, a formality really, to john— captain price, for their absence in the oncoming month or two. as there are no current operations needing agents’ immediate attention, its an opportunity for agent to get their other affairs in order after months being on base with the taskforce. 

john— captain price, briefly glancing at the document before focusing his ocean blue eyes to search agents (tired) face, a frown creasing between his full brows.

pleasedontlookatme—

whatdoyousee—?

the captain getting up from his seat to circle around his desk to stand before agent, his scrutinising gaze trying to catch agents downcast eyes.

pleasejohndont—

“this wouldn’t be about you pulling away from us recently hm?”

bullseye— 

agent could feel a thorn piercing the walls of her throat, their jaw tightening in response. a reaction john notices, his face softening as he reaches out to tip agents chin back to finally see his now gentle imploring eyes.

soblue—

“just don’t forget to come back to us, okay little love?”

little love. a pet name that simon (proudly) started to refer to agent amongst the taskforce (and no one else, lest they meet ghost in the middle of the night) while the others also followed suit—

“or would you rather shorty? or tiny even?” simon had smugly responded after seeing agents offended (blushing) face.

ugh that big oaf of a man, not everyone needs to be the size of an industrial fridge—!!

johnny and kyle chortling in the background, seemingly forgetting they’re suppose to be supervising the recruits’ training.

the pinch of another thorn dragging up their throat throwing agent back into the present.

“of course, captain.”

lies.lies.lies.

⋆.✧̣̇˚.

agent whose kept a mental list of contacts who owe them favours, a debt that is finally being repaid: to find a cure for hanahaki disease. from the highest level of power and prestige in society, to the lowest trenches of the underworld. over the course of a few weeks, one by one, each contact falls short of delivering. but agent keeps digging. keeps searching.

there is never nothing. there has to be something somewhere. someone must have at least thought— until finally a contact (old friend) provides them with a lead. 

a doctor whose dedicated their life in medical research of hanahaki disease, searching for a cure— whispers that there is a cure. they’re located halfway across the world. but that doesn’t matter to agent, they’re leaving within an hour; flight booked and travel bag already packed.

washing the remnants of blood down the sink drain, tears wet on their cheeks. the episodes were happening more frequently.

agent is running out of time.

⋆.✧̣̇˚.

“… it can be cured through surgical removal, but when the infection is removed, the victim's romantic feelings for their love also disappear…”

agent feels drained as the doctors words echo in their mind even hours after agents abrupt appearance in the doctors office. one look into agents (desperate) eyes and the doctor already knew why they had come, offered tea to soothe their throat (wash the metallic taste away, even if temporarily).

agent immediately coughing out both the tea, then one bloodied rose— then two— three— and finally four, as agent reaches to rip the tangled thorns from the back of their throat, ignoring the screaming pain of thorns dragging out of their mouth and past their stinging pale lips. 

the doctors face stricken with worry and sadness, trying to wipe the blood from agents face and hands; disposing of the thorny flowers in a sterile bin. the doctor concluding that agent does not have much time to deliberate if they wish to proceed with the experimental procedure. an incredibly invasive surgery that may not completely cure the victim; follow up surgery’s may be required. 

being split open from larynx to diaphragm, sown back together, only to be split open again if a single flower is coughed back up.

agent acknowledges this. pain is pain after all—

whats more to add to the pile?

tric’s notes

thanks for reading!! ♡︎♡︎
