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

        @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.

          @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˜

                              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 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
