even if the fraud was like 5% it wouldn’t compare to rich people cheating the system by trillions lmao

Also, SNAP “fraud” is like exchanging some of your stamps for cash to buy necessities you can’t buy with stamps, like soap or deodorant or tampons

TBH even if one hundred percent of people on food stamps were committing food stamp fraud I’d still be in favor of keeping the program around

[constant-instigator]

Hey I wanna talk about this.

I work at a drug addiction counseling center. A ton of my clients have, at one time or another, sold their food stamps. This is basically exactly what the GOP is afraid of, right? Drug addicts selling their food stamps.

I have learned, now, to ask them WHY they sold their food stamps. Here is an incomplete list of the answers:

- I need tampons, and you can’t buy them with foodstamps

- See above RE: toilet paper

- I was living in a hotel with no kitchen then. I had to buy pre-prepared food

- The homeless shelter won’t let me keep food in my locker or room, so I have to buy pre-prepared food (Yes, really)

- I had to make rent

- My sister had to make rent

- My son had to make rent

- I needed co-pays to get my medication or I’ll die

- I needed co-pays to get my medication or I’ll loose control of my mental health

But the absolute most common form of food stamp fraud I see? Giving away food stamps to other family members who get no food stamps or insufficient food stamps to feed their families. I see that every month. People glassy eyed and hungry because they gave away their food to their adult kids, their grand kids, cousins, siblings etc.

So, is food stamp fraud rampant? In some places, yes. And I’m not about to chastise people for it.

Therapist friends:

If you can, remember we have clients who are really scared and with good reason. Do home visits and telemedicine if you can. Be aware of when and where ICE is and make sure you are communicating this with your clients if they are coming to see you. If you bill medi-cal, DO NOT WRITE ABOUT IMMIGRATION OR CITIZEN STATUS. It’s a receipt - you don’t need to leave any kind of documentation about that for medi-cal. Our clients need accomplices not supporters right now. I am saying this as someone who HATES home visits. I’m doing them.

[thistherapylife]

Your weekly reminder to abolish ICE and ALSO we have a legal mandate to report child abuse. Every list serv I’m on has at least one email with info on how to report child abuse in Texas. I mean I’d take a physician and congressperson’s word. That seems like a creditable threat.

Covered

There are days my scars don’t make me feel strong, but just remind me that I’ve been hurt.

There are days I cover them up - not because I’m ashamed, but because I don’t want them to be the only thing that defines me.

There are days I wish I didn’t have these scars,

and that’s okay.

When the sun sets, I’m proud of who I am, but that doesn’t mean I have to spend every waking hour reminiscing about how I got here,

Because the important thing is that I’m here.

just a little heads up: if you live in a state where pot’s illegal and you list yourself as a regular pot smoker on a dating app and you have kids, if someone you know finds you on that app then they can use that as evidence to report you to cps, all it takes is one pissed off person wanting to be petty af and you’ll end up catching yourself a case instead of a relationship

[fluent-in-lesbianism]

you know what? this actually goes for all social media platforms

it might seem like common sense, but if you have kids do NOT post pictures of yourselves smoking marijuana on social media if you live in a state where using marijuana is still illegal, your on again off again best friend you argued with last week WILL screenshot them and send them to cps when they’re calling to make a report against you then act shocked when you tell them cps showed up at your house bc someone reported you

[nerdjpg]

What’s with the obsession with calling food or recipes “better than sex”…I tried your pintrest risotto Sharon and frankly I’m wondering if your needs are being met

My dad works in healthcare and he went to a conference this week. Someone said in a presentation, “The heathcare system is not broken. It’s working exactly the way it was designed, it was just never designed to benefit patients,” which I honestly am blown away by as the most accurate and concise description of US healthcare that I can’t believe I’ve never heard anyone say.

[jehovahhthickness]

For the love of God, pls actively work on your negative, toxic and draining ass behaviors starting now. Don’t work on them when you remember, when you feel like it or every 6 to 9 weeks.

Nah, be on top of yourself and be accountable. You have to unlearn decades of bad habits and that shit will not take overnight or 1-3 years to fix, it will take a lifetime to do and if you really want to work on them, you will, no matter how hard it is for you.
