    @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!

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

        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 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.

                        @WeirdWriter It is ridiculous. One of my friends cares for her husband, who suffered a permanently debilitating stroke, and deals with the same bullshit. I’ll have to pass this along to her. 😁

                        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.

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

                                  @kleines_z @superball I don’t understand why Americans hate poor or disabled people so much! I know it’s not just an American thing, but it feels like it most days because I’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 can’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

                                          @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.

                                          @whangdoodler We should collectively flood their offices the next time they ask us for a review. I could not agree more! I really can’t stand the way the system punishes you for having/using these programs. And a truly ironic thing is, is that I just want to be left the fuck alone, regardless if I use these services or not. Why is it so difficult for others to just let me live my life and let tons of other disabled people live their lives even if they don’t contribute economically to the workforce. I hate this system of perceived value
