Did I just employ the "Treat Them Like You are A Kindergarten Teacher Again" method with my insurance company today? I surely did. Did it work? Probably better than intended because I made an actual doctor feel contrite.
So, my insurance has been trying to not cover my SNRI because it is new on the market and no generic available yet, so pricey.
I apply for a refill and the request gets locked for review. Again. For the 3rd time.
This time I call and immediately ask to speak to the actual doctor making these clinical decisions. Very politely. Must be a slow day because they allow it.
ME: [Teacher voice] I'm calling in regards to the SNRI you have placed a lock on. Why was this decision made?
DOC: Well, there are dozens of other medications on the market in that tier, and far cheaper for you and [insurer]. We have sent a request to your doctor to consider alternatives.
ME: I am aware of that. So, can you do me a HUGE favor and look up my prescription history really quickly and tell me how many SSRIs and SNRIs were only filled once in 2022 for me, showing they were poorly tolerated?
DOC: It looks like eight.
ME: Great job! Now, can you please look at my genetic test for psychiatric drug tolerance and tell me how many medications are listed in the safe category?
DOC: Two.
ME: Awesome! Now, can you tell me what type that other drug is that I'm not taking?
DOC: Yeah, totally, it's an MAOI.
ME: That's correct, you're really knowledgeable! Should I be taking something as dangerous as an MAOI with my other medications, or even just in general?
DOC: It's contraindicated for sure.
ME: It is! So true! So, last question since you've been incredibly smart and helpful. Is it less expensive for [insurer] to pay out for the medication knowing they already get a huge manufacturer discount anyway, or is it more expensive for them to pay for me to need potentially long-term inpatient psychiatric care?
DOC: I'll clear the code, ma'am and flag it as medically necessary. I'm sorry about this.
ME: I appreciate you SO MUCH. You have a great day now.

White Fear has always been funny (ironic) to me. It's like, imagine a white person walking in the room, perpetually paranoid of everyone of Color around them, of being The Murderer because "look how strange they're all acting around me, they must be suspicious. And yet, THEY'RE the one covered in blood and holding the knife, the body count number floating over their head.
Like, Buddy, yeah we're acting weird, YOU'RE the one that WE gotta be worried about š. I'm scared of YOU.
To use a US specific example, it's like how there's so much fearmongering of being victims of Black and Latino men with guns and gun violence, a violence that white people usually don't even experience because they're not even in the same spaces.
But the demographic most likely to be a domestic terrorist, the mass shooters, the ones that find diverse places and murder people... Are white men. When I go to the store, to church, to work, to the movies, to school, the odds that the person who will walk in and decide to Let Fly is a white man! That's something we have to keep in our minds every day!
But somehow this has not made everyone that "matters" (I.e., other white people) deathly afraid of white men, despite actually, statistically fitting the mold, in comparison to the heightened stereotype of Black and Latino men being gun wielding thugs. Goes to show the power and projection of white supremacy.
On principle, if I am in a space and I see a white man with a backpack, I go to another space.
The thing is i feel like the majority of white ppl know that theyre the murderer. They know theyve got blood on their hands, either from their own actions or from the actions of other white ppl that they condoned. Theyre apathetic to violence committed against other races so they assume everyone else feels the same way which is why the project so much. The fear justifies the violence which justifies the fear which justifies the violence and so on so forth.
When white ppl go out in public theyre not looking for the person who's poses the most danger to them, they're looking for a person who they can endanger with little to no consequences. Im thinking of all those "karen" videos where a white person is approaching, following, or even explicitly chasing a black person while on the phone with the police making up some story abt how theyre being attacked by a big scary black person. So that when the police get there they see a anxious and/or aggravated black person who they can victim blame for any violence that follows.
White ppl in these situations know that they are not in any physical danger. Which is why they feel so comfortable getting in Black ppls faces, knocking on car windows, or even physically harassing ppl. I've been hear a lot of ppl encourage Black women especially to arm themselves bcuz of the current political climate. But on top of the fact that owning a gun poses a danger to you more than anyone else, white ppl who want to see you be hurt know that the US Justice system is baised in their favor. They know that a Black person is running the risk of being killed or imprisoned simply for having gun (or even just a white person thinking they have a gun). Im still thinking about Rihanna Kelver who had literally been knocked to the ground and was on her back with 3 men standing over her when she pulled out her gun. She didn't even fire it, in fact none of her assailants even pressed charges and she's still facing up to 15 years for simply taking it out of her purse. Even though Wyoming, where this happened, is a stand your ground and open carry state but ofc that means nothing when your Black. Ive just been hearing a lot of ppl talk like a gun guarantees your safety when it actually just gives you a new set of problems.
White American dont "love" an underdog, they love to be the underdog or at least to be seen as one. Which is why they can believe theyre the supreme master race while still constantly positioning themselves as the victim.
I'm at the point where I refuse to believe that white ppl are unaware of the threat they pose or that theyre genuinely "scared" of Black ppl. Their ignorance and obliviousness is strategic if not completely fabricated.
The fear is just the set up. Its the premise for the violence about to be committed.

When your bestie gonna die if you donāt come back for him
thereās a notion Iāve seen people spread that I donāt like when it comes to deltarune human designs ( I donāt think itās wrong to see the monsters as white bc I sure do for a few of them ). but when people hc characters as black ( say specifically Noelle + berdly ) people jump to āoh! Well Noelle canāt be black, sheās a corny preppy rich girl!ā āBerdly canāt be black, heās and annoying nerd.ā What makes you think black people cant act like this š
Do you think being rich and living in the suburbs + being nerdy and corny is white exclusive traits š do you think being silly or geeky or dainty and soft are traits black people cant have š like it really shows that people think of certain personalities as āwhite defaultā and if a black person acts that way its unrealistic . I think you need to unpack what you think a black person should behave like for you to think this way šššš
I like the idea in fantasy that humans are better at maintaining things long term because they set up societies or professions to do it whereas dwarves and elves and stuff are like ājust get bob to do it heās got a good few hundred years leftā and then bob doesnāt teach anyone else how to do it
Elf: How have you kept this castle maintained for a thousand years if your lives are so short?
Human: We just train new people how to do it?
Elf: *gears visibly turning in their head*
Human: Are you alright?
Elf: I just realized that we didnāt have to let that whole city fall to ruin just because my grandfather died.
Human: What?
Human: Wait thatās why thereās ruins of elven cities even though you live for so long? You just keep not asking people how to do things? How do you learn anything?
Elf: Thereās a lot of āyouāve got time to figure it out on your ownā attitudes floating around in our society that Iām starting to question somewhat.
Elf: That sword, where did you get it?
Human: My cousin made it.
Elf: Impossible! Those metalworking techniques were lost a hundred years ago!
Human: What do you mean lost? My great-grandmother learned to make these swords from an elven smith, then taught it to her kids.
Elf: That's ridiculous. No elf would give such secrets to a human.
Human: They didn't. Meemaw delivered the metal to the forge, and no one kicked her out when she stayed and watched. She always said they barely acknowledged her even when doing business with her, like she wasn't worth noticing.
Elf: Come to think of it, my great-uncle always was rather single-minded when he started working.
Human: So he wasn't ignoring her, he just forgot she was there?
Elf: Oh, he was definitely ignoring her, too. He was super racist.
Have you ever seen a violinist going APESHIT?!

Ok so Iāve been playing for 18 years and iām a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? Iāve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because iām an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. Iāve seen very few professional string players who are black.
Obviously there are black string players. We just donāt see them because they ādonāt look likeā string players.
This person is the real deal. They were clearly classically trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?

this is the coolest guy alive actually
I think this might be the coolest thing Iāve ever seen in my life that involves a violin
