Fannibals for the Resistance!

This week: KEEP THE MEAT HEALTHY!

Dr. Lecter probably doesn’t take insurance. Look at that office. Look at that waistcoat. You know he’s out of network.

He may be too busy Ripping the Chesapeake to deal with paperwork from AetnaUnitedShieldConglomerate, but he still cares about your coverage.

After all, if the meat’s diseased, he’ll just have to throw it out.

*Disclaimer: Please do not name cannibalism as a concern in your resistbot fax.

**Unless you are going to literally RP Hannibal for the entire letter, which would probably get a good laugh out of some very overwhelmed staffers.

What to do: use Resistbot and Trumpcare Ten!

MORE BEHIND THE CUT!

This isn’t an info dump. You know what tr*mpcare is and why it’s horrific, and that the best thing we can do about it right now is yell at our senators.

I love resistbot. Incredibly easy to use. Here’s another way to fax without a fax machine. 

Calling is good, too. And emailing individual staffers who work on healthcare stuff.

Here’s a resource site: Tr*mpcare Ten. It names senators who are vulnerable in reelection, who might be more easily swayed by, you know, the actual will of the people, and how to contact them.

Any Resisting Fannibals in these states, or with friends/friendly family there, might find that useful!

Healthcare means a healthy meal!

Hello, USian Fannibal Family!

You may know me as @septimalshenanigans​ (@7nanigans on twitter).

For a lot of us, fandom is an escape. An oversaturated surreal world populated with a rather high number of absurdly elaborate serial killers is actually a lot less scary than the one we happen to be living in right now.

Fandom is also a community. It’s this amazing thing that connects us.

And sometimes the passion and levity of a fandom can help us do things that maybe we wouldn’t otherwise have the means to do.

Fannibals are everywhere. We’re full of creativity and drive and, hey, pretty good at campaigning. But the things that we can do for the real world are wildly different depending on what state, what county, what town we live in. I’m hoping to a space where people who want to participate, who might already know one another through our awesome Fannibal Family, can connect and cheer on our people to get those things done.

This isn’t about pressure. This isn’t about forcing the inescapable awfulness of IRL into our fandom space, demanding that you stop writing fic and fax your senators.

This is for those who might find it helpful to bring the joy and community of fandom to things you were going to do anyway, or want to do.

Everything’s better with cannibalism jokes.
