"SURVIVING"

[cumvvelt]

"Guy" and "man" have different connotations with adjectival nouns. Like "tree guy" = arborist but "tree man" = he lives in a tree, or maybe he is a tree.

[thedupshadove]

"I know a guy" = "I have a useful contact."

"I know a man" = "I am about to tell you a story."

[turtletotem]

“He’s a great guy” = he is pleasant and fun and well-intentioned

“He’s a great man” = he has saved countless lives and changed the world irrevocably

[greater-than-the-sword]

"He's a good guy" = he's a warm-hearted, morally upstanding, trustworthy individual

"He's a good man" = He's dead or is about to die

I have more than one person in the notes of my post saying they did not in fact know that the ACA stopped insurance companies from being able to deny coverage for a pre-existing condition in case you were wondering where we're at. People don't know the ACA and Obamacare are the same thing, they don't know it's why they have healthcare, they don't even know what it does. How do you even deal with that?

"they used it to give you healthcare" ok lol let me stop you right there. They made a bunch of compromises they didn't have to in pursuit of "reaching across the aisle."

We could've had the public option! The individual mandate was some libertarian shit that the Dems agreed to and then suddenly the Republicans had a problem with it! They dragged the debate rightward and Dems let it get dragged and then passed some milquetoast incrementalist shit that still allowed private insurance companies to run rampant the way they are now. Sure there are good things in there but don't give the Dems too much credit when WE COULD HAVE HAD THE PUBLIC OPTION.

[thebreakfastgenie]

We could have had the public option if Massachusetts hadn’t blown it the special election after Ted Kennedy died but they elected a Republican. They didn’t have the votes in the senate for a public option after that. Feel free to piss on Joe Lieberman’s grave about it. They did not make compromises in the name of reaching across the aisle during the ACA negotiations. That’s why they needed 60 votes in the senate. They made compromises to get support from the more conservative members of their own party. Those people are basically gone now, many replaced with Republicans. Democrats got slaughtered in the 2010 midterms over the ACA. I have healthcare because of it. If you have a preexisting condition or you’re on your parents’ insurance in your 20s you do too.

I wanted to draw them

[my-artblog-is-ssjumi]

their shapes are compelling

[malibuklaus]

[rabbitkinglune777]

its us...(I'm a system)

[rabbitkinglune777]

this drawing is EXTREMELY vulnerable...it took some energy to draw us (the guys in my head that are still around) some alters came and went, these guys are my remaining family... especially Punnya

[rabbitkinglune777]

tldr; basically I(Salem) became host four years ago because our original host along with punnya received so much harassment, smear campaigns, and stalking from twitter on our old accounts. we have healed a lot tremendously but CJ(original host) is still... they're still hurting.

the others here came from many episodes that resulted in splits. we carry so much trauma but in the end we'r.e. ok.

[rabbitkinglune777]

also CJ, he's making a big fuss rn because he doesn't like being acknowledged but I hope everyone can be nice to them. and me as well, I'm a lil scared drawing him cuz he was our old fursona.
