man I’m only 21 and i done seen it all the first Black president, gay marriage being legalized, I was there marching against police brutality, 9/11, the 2008 recession, smartphones, social media, the golden age of Beyonce

Actually this is so true

Our generation has seen it all.  The market crashed.  Politics started to spiral.  Technology sped up until new innovations were churned out every day.  We became more tightly linked through those innovations.  We woke up to the problems in our own society.  We saw the people around us take ‘safety’ to terrible extremes, and the people who were supposed to keep us safe take their power to worse ones.  We saw the rise of musicians who weren’t afraid to call themselves feminists.  We saw college students stand up and declare that they had the right to feel safe in their own dorm beds, and then drag around mattresses to prove it.  We saw the world stand up in defense of some murdered children, but we also saw it turn a blind eye to others.  We got a Black president–TWO TERMS of a Black president.  And now we’ve seen the legalization of gay marriage in the US.

Not to sound too cliche, but imagine what we’ll see tomorrow.

man, teenaged girls aren’t allowed to have a genuine interest in anything without being ridiculed for it. if a girl likes ugg boots and starbucks she’s stupid and stereotypical, but if she likes combat boots and obscure coffee houses she’s a hipster wannabe and is trying too hard. if a girl listens to boy bands and other popular artists she’s a dumb follower, if she reads comics or plays video games she’s a poser/fake geek girl, if she likes sex she’s a slut but if she doesn’t like sex she’s a prude, if she wears makeup she’s fake but if she doesn’t wear makeup she’s a slob, if she has low self-esteem she needs to learn to love herself but if she has high self-esteem she’s overconfident and vain, if she’s interested in politics she’s a crazy social justice warrior but if she prefers to stay out of social matters she’s a dumb airhead. girls are literally mocked for every single thing they like or do, no matter what those things are, and i’m really really sick of it.

“Bisexual and transgender people ARE NOT allowed in LGBT spaces unless they’re in a HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP!”

Medical debt is sort of funny

Like what they gonna do? Repossess my health?

I never had it to begin with, you silly debtors

A few fun facts! All of this I learned after being near death and spending a week in critical care in a hospital that didn’t offer any sort of charity assistance and I was uninsured.

(Some do, so if you think you’re f’d, check to see if they offer anything first.)

First of all: while dealing with a terrible kidney infection, a 104 fever that had been going for a week, and who knows what else, a nice lady from their finance department came to me with some paperwork to sign. Luckily I was so out of it (I had even spelled my name wrong when I first checked in because I was so out of it) that I said I couldn’t (which was true).

I later learned what she was asking me to sign was some sort of a “lien” which would have given them all the rights to come after me and re-posses any property I had later to make up for the debt.

So, whatever you do when you’re sick, if you don’t understand something do NOT sign it.

Since then I got calls for a few years from a debt collector, I never talked to them, said I wasn’t available, whatever. Eventually they stopped calling.

I owe a hospital about $700,000 for having the audacity to have a kidney infection and an autoimmune disease which were trying to kill me simultaneously.

That was probably 5 years ago. From what everyone has told me, it can’t effect my credit. Medical debt can not effect your credit. Also, now that I’m no longer being harassed by those debt collectors, I never hear from anyone.

To me in the end, I learned to simply walk away from it, and I won, as far as I can tell.

I know the OP was making a joke, but I thought I’d put out some info in case anyone out there has the unfortunate luck to get critically sick in the US without insurance, because seriously it’s really fucking expensive.

Important info because my snarky butt is uneducated

R.I.P. to all the LGBTQ+ people who didn’t live to see June 26, 2015. Who died ahead of time due to murder, suicide, or old age. To those who fought until their last breath, the fight for same-sex marriage was for you.
