New post: The 'Paperwork Flood': How I Drowned a Bureaucrat before dinner.

[weirdwriter@caneandable.social]

@quidcumque Thank you! More to come, because I have a hell of a lot of these kinds of stories because my GOV hates poor people and disabled people

[quidcumque@rheinhessen.social]

@WeirdWriter I hope Karen gets really really scared now everytime someone in the office asks for "complete documentation".

@WeirdWriter
Had to read portions to my spouse because I started laughing out loud.

️This is for everyone who has to regularly prove they're still disabled.

Well played, sir!

Well, they demanded it. It is only right they got it. One page at a time.

On another note, it appears the line linking to the tips page is missing a closing square bracket, so the link doesn't get rendered properly @WeirdWriter

[jhamre@oslo.town]

@WeirdWriter this is great. So great.

[mxjaygrant@triangletoot.party]

@WeirdWriter bless, this is life giving. The next time I get hit with a review I'm taking a page from your book.

[wizardofdocs@wandering.shop]

@WeirdWriter Five hundred plus pages. Diabolical. I hope they learn their lesson and keep your documents as a memento mori. On the other hand, imagining you threatening to do it again is making me laugh maniacally.

[weirdwriter@caneandable.social]

@mxjaygrant Yes, it is so, frustrating. I used to comply with just the right anount but not anymore! Make them *never* want to cancel your services. Teach them you are radical enough to not stop until you have things sorted out. I really do hate this system we are in so much!

[weirdwriter@caneandable.social]

@jhamre More to come! I have many more because, yes, the system gives me *plenty* of material!

[weirdwriter@caneandable.social]

@fargate Ah thanks! I just fixed it! By the way, I also *just now* learned how to do multiple redirects in Eleventy which is super epic! But thank you! More to come!

[ragman@jawns.club]

@WeirdWriter Absolutely. I've a couple of friends who've had to fight to get on disability and it's been such a nightmare. Nobody should have to go through the American benefits process.

@WeirdWriter hello i am a stranger but i was sent this after i had to fax a thing to a medical office and was really annoyed about it and it made me feel better. cheers

[sboots@mastodon.sboots.ca]

@WeirdWriter Robert this is genuinely epic. Thank you for sharing!

[weirdwriter@caneandable.social]

@nora I know this song and dance super well! Had to do this for years! You can imagine why I am *so* tired!

[weirdwriter@caneandable.social]

More to come so I hope my feed makes it to your reader! I also have a podcast version of my blog but thank you! I just became *so* tired of people telling me I never bring enough. Fine. I'll show you enough documentation! LOL! But https://sightlessscribbles.com/follow/ @sboots

@WeirdWriter im doing the hoops you jump through to ultimately find out you have fibromyalgia so i am intimately familiar with your tiredness, solidarity there. my dad used to be a reporter for the local newspaper and once a senator did this to him, but it wasn't with a fax, they just answered a FOIA request by sending him a huge box of hard copy documents

[whangdoodler@piipitin.fi]

@WeirdWriter i have been doing the same lately. they want to know if i am still unable to work? there is a decade worth of files testifying just that. have them all you fuckers. oh, you need another copy of my prescription bc the pharmacy receipt didn’t have my social security number on it? here, have all the fucking prescriptions i currently have, thats about 10. i am just so tired of this endless paper war what cannot be won. they always need something else.

My nephew has down syndrome. His parents have to give updates in case they somehow one day remove that extra chromosome in each of his body's cells.
