Yeah okay fuck it, I need help.

My name is Scott, and I'm facing down a total thyroidectomy. I am uninsured and u… Scott Cruz needs your support for Support Scott's Urgent

This is a mess for me, and I don't know what else to do about it. I've applied for emergency medicaid to try and cover this, but who knows how long it'll take or if i won't just get denied because we live in a fucking fascist hellhole.

I need my thyroid out. This thing hates me and given the chance it is going to try and kill me. We do not know if it is cancerous, only that it's angry and getting angrier. Whether it's cancerous or not, it needs to come out. So says my extremely pissed off endocrinologist. I love him.

Unfortunately, I'm a fucking cripple. I can't work, I can't afford insurance, I'm in the process of applying for disability but, again, who knows how fucking long that's going to take. As it stands I have no way of paying for this shit without help.

Please help, if you can. Or just reblog this. Maybe someone else can help. I don't know. I'm tired and overwhelmed and frustrated and scared.

surgery has been had and my thyroid has been yeeted (directly to pathology where they will more than likely confirm that it was not cancer, just enlarged and continuing to grow). i am upright at my desk now! so overall i'm feeling pretty good, aside from the expected pain. this is going to be nowhere near as big of a recovery situation as my top surgery was in 2022.

this surgery would have been postponed indefinitely- who knows when, or even if, i ever would have been able to have it- were it not for everyone who chipped in to help out with the costs. we're on a payment plan now to pay the remainder of the surgery bills. it's $87/month as of this moment, which is doable, but a significant strain on our finances, and accurately reflects the roughly 78% stall we're still at on the goal on gofundme.

if anyone can help out now, next month, a few months from now, basically anytime during 2025 at all, it'll immediately go toward paying the remaining bill down as far as possible to lower that monthly strain on our finances.

thank you so much!

Towards better things

I've learned to savor the end of things no matter how bitter. As long as I trust in myself, life has shown me there will always be a sweeter tomorrow.

I illustrated this autumnal satyr in 2023 for 13 Days Halloween Advent! One of my favorite pieces I've done.

Small and full sized prints as well as a matching sticker will be available in my store later this October. Happy Halloween!

has anyone written about autism and layers of locution meanings. like. i only have a little bit of understanding of this but i really dont think "autistic people take things literally" cuts it or is accurate a lot of the time but "autistic people tend to understand locutionary meanings rather than illocutionary meanings" seems to immediately explain a lot more

jedthewolfdog

basically like if you say "do you have any lemonade" the locutionary meaning is asking if the listener is in possession of lemonade. the locutionary act is a request for information

but thats not actually what is meant when someone says that

when you say "do you have any lemonade" the illocutionary meaning is "i would like some lemonade, do you have some you can share with me?" and the illocutionary act is requesting that the listener share some of their lemonade

i think a lot of autistic people hear the locution and go yes i have lemonade. and then dont perform the intended perlocutionary act which is to share their lemonade. and then the speaker gets pissed lmao

people have in fact written a lot about this topic, yes! i wrote a long tumblr post about this a while back, which you can find here if you're interested, but basically: there's been a lot of studies that suggest autistic people struggle with implied requests like these. if you want to do some digging, you should find plenty of results by searching for papers on autism and implicature; scholars in this field i think tend to use that term more often (maybe because they're more interested in the content of speech than in speech acts themselves).

highly cool!!! thank you for sharing

Doctor Who season 4 is so delightful because you can tell that The Doctor, on occasion, straight up forgets that he's sad and burned because he's busy being in a sci-fi buddy comedy. And then something will remind him and he'll be like oh! I'm sad and burdened! And Donnas almost always there to be like 'hi sad and burdened. I'm Donna' and he has a completely proportional reaction like 'i would die a thousand deaths for you'.
