Taking care of my janky unicycle of a meatsuit is expensive and I have a complicated relationship with the medical billing department.

This blog started as a cult recovery and religious trauma blog. I grew up fundie/evangelical, then I left, and then I accidentally joined a pagan cult. That was fun /s. Anyway, I'm an atheist now so I also blog about that. Over time my blog has morphed into also talking about disability, some of my health struggles, my experience with therapy, my two cents on politics being thrown into the void, gender and sexuality, some of the weird shit I come across, and as always: memes.

[Look under the cut for the disclaimers (read: hot takes) I have]
Disclaimers:
I don't like being called aspie or using aspergers to describe my autism, but as long as you don't participate in aspie supremacy I don't care if you describe yourself with those words. I know that's the legal dx title in some countries so that's the title you're likely to use to find local community, and I also know that the inability/struggle to process changes in language (especially personal identifiers) is a language deficit that some autistic people have.
I welcome progressive Christians to read and interact with my exvangelical posts as long as you don’t derail, proselytize, interrogate, offer apologetics, etc. I am so incredibly aware that there are other ways to interpret scripture. That isn't the point of my posts. The main point is that the interpretation I was told was super fucking harmful. The sub-point is that I'm not going to reconvert. I will not be debating you as that is my biggest boundary since leaving the fold.
In fact, contrary to how salty I can be in my posts and notes, I don't like debating randos on tumblr in general. I rarely give in to it. We have no personal incentive to come to an understanding. All we'll do is ruin each other's day.
I also welcome anyone who has survived religious abuse and/or a cult. Christianity isn’t the only religion to harbor abusers, oppress others, or inspire cults. I will not assume your anger and/or criticism is from a place of bigotry unless you say bigoted things.
I don’t support calling people who’ve exited their very diverse Christian based sects, denominations, and/or cults “culturally christian.” There are around 45,000 different Christian denominations worldwide, and they can have beliefs so opposing in views and customs, and even literature, they can look like separate religions. That's not to mention that Christian cultures, even within the same denomination, can look wildly different depending on the country. The label and its usage is so oversimplified it's practically useless. You'll just make an ass of yourself assuming the beliefs and customs someone had. A better term would be "deconstructing ex-Christian" or "deconstructing Christian," depending on whether they've decided to keep their faith or not. It recognizes their past practices and beliefs without assuming them, while also recognizing that they're actively changing their beliefs and practices (which is what deconstructing Christians would prefer, especially if they're a survivor of religious abuse).
ill be real the "poly people are uglyyy" thing just feels like cope? like theyre in a polycule. they have directly proven that multiple people find them hot enough to want to be in a relationship, often sexual, with. you have what? one single Monogamous Jessica, and you're terrified she'll leave you as soon as she sees a rooster with bigger tail feathers?
Given how fucking dumb this decade has been so far, I look forward to reality taking a page from 40k and giving us a corpse emperor situation when It Happens. At least that’ll be funny and stupid instead of horrific and stupid
[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz
Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat.
Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records.
My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now.
Called the county clerk.
Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty.
Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons?
Me: Yes, but he's a cat.
Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county?
Me: He's a legal cat.
Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption.
Me: He can't file anything. He has paws.
Clerk: You can file on his behalf.
Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat."
Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons."
Me: What's the medical reason?
Clerk: He's a cat.
Me: That's not a medical condition.
Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving.
Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later.
"Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement."
Took the letter to my vet.
Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty.
Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty?
Me: Excellent question. No good answer.
Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten.
Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve?
Vet: On what grounds?
Me: He's a cat.
Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings."
Me: Perfect.
Sent it in. Got another rejection.
"Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court."
My roommate thought this was hilarious.
Roommate: Felix is going to jail.
Me: This is serious.
Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens.
Decided that was actually the only option left.
Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters.
Checked in at the courthouse.
Clerk: Name?
Me: Felix Martinez.
Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix?
Me: Yes.
Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat.
Me: I've been saying that for six weeks.
Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption?
Me: I filed three. All rejected.
Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief.
Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation?
Me: Twice.
Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this.
Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me.
Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote?
Me: You tell me.
Supervisor: This is a data error.
Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out.
They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience.
Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry.
Me: Appreciate it.
Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted?
Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats.
Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card.
For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was.
Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud.
Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent.
Roommate: That's what they all say.
Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now.
Fitting end to his legal career.

it pains me to say it but the more people talk shit about the women who wear those shorts/leggings with the weird butt seam that looks like it gives you a terminal wedgie, the more compelled I feel to take the women’s side
and while we’re at it, I’m done worrying about cameltoe. I don’t have time to be pulling and tugging at my clothes all day. if you can see the outline of my pussy you should say thank you and go about your business
I have had a lot of evil people say to me that nothing taste as good as skinny feels and every time im like no im pretty sure food tastes really super good actually
Finally got my Adderall back!!! Hopefully I'll have more focus, be less impulsive, and see improvement in my mood. Being without it for months was so much more difficult than I thought it would be.
I also got a job 😁 it's at a liquor store, and I won't get very many hours, but it's a job nonetheless. I haven't had one in years. The owner also wants to sell our crochet there (she also has crochet to sell). Thankfully, we don't make the same kinds of things.
The owner also runs the local art market, which I've also been selling at. That's how I met her. Haven't made many sales in person, but my Depop is doing ok.
Honestly, life is kinda looking up. I hope it continues to look up because I could use some more wins in life.
Gotta go to a community health center later today because I have out of state insurance. Kind of anxious about whether or not they'll be able to help me get my mental health meds, including my ADHD meds. They say they do outpatient mental health there.
Hate that I had to rely on my spouse as a disabled person, because now that he no longer wants to be married I am pretty SOL when it comes to finances and healthcare.
I'm in that weird in-between where I'm too disabled to work full time and afford my own healthcare, but I'm not disabled enough to qualify for disability. So fuck me I guess!
Been struggling to find work. There's just nothing available where I am. I kid you not, only 5 job openings that I qualify for (like, doesn't require a license of some sort) in the past month.
So anyway, to get the hell out of the house, I'll be volunteering with two different orgs that feed people who are food insecure. Mostly working on farms to get fresh food for them. Idk how that'll go with my disabilities, but we'll see.
it's so funny to me when i see pearl-clutching articles about how "teenagers are diagnosing themselves with mental disorders via tiktok" because like. this is not happening in a vacuum. teenagers are severely and i mean severely medically neglected. i cannot stress this enough. teenagers do not have free access to medical care. those same news outlets would be clowning on women with housewife psychosis in the 1950's.
i sometimes go pale when listening to some of what my friends have gone through in their childhoods and teenagehoods. they talk about it so nonchalantly, things that would be considered straight up torture if done to an adult, can't fathom the effect this has on children. they are on multiple anti-psychotics and several antidepressants and anxiety meds now that they are adults. medical neglect has legally and effectively disabled them. a timely diagnosis and intervention could have saved them.
of course teenagers are self-diagnosing using tiktok. if your knee-jerk reaction is to scoff at the idea and dismiss it as dumb teenager shit instead of being radicalized because the best shot young people have at attaining the mental health support they need is a fucking dancing videos app, you're categorically a political enemy of the youth.
