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

      @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!

          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

          @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!

            I shouldn't even have to do this review as often as I do! And her tone. Her tone is what really got to me, like, no sympathy at all so I was like, fine, let's play! I can't stand this if you deserve it system we have now. @ragman

            @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 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

                        @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 didnโ€™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.

                          @WeirdWriter It is ridiculous. One of my friends cares for her husband, who suffered a permanently debilitating stroke, and deals with the same bullshit. Iโ€™ll have to pass this along to her. ๐Ÿ˜

                              @WeirdWriter this is the precise type of pettiness I aspire to. May they all drown in faxes.

                                    @kleines_z @superball I donโ€™t understand why Americans hate poor or disabled people so much! I know itโ€™s not just an American thing, but it feels like it most days because Iโ€™m trapped in this system that hates my existence and hates me for using it. I will never understand why Americans hate social security or why they hate anybody using it

                                      @Schafstelze I canโ€™t express how much I hate this means testing bullshit. All because there are some Americans that just cannot let others live their life even if they do collect these kind of government assistance

Life loves to kick me so there will be many more, I hope you follow the RSS feed or share it with others that like narrative blogs. Here is my follow page at https://sightlessscribbles.com/follow but if you donโ€™t like reading, my podcast is https://weirdwritings.pinecast.co/ where you can find narrations of my blog posts, and all of my audiobooks, serialized
