Word.

Joke’s on you, kindness IS my freak. Now get over here and let me compliment you.

Meanwhile other 40 year old moms are on Lemmy shitposting.

Because they are sociopaths. You and I would never get to the status of filthy rich because we would start giving money away before that.

It’s definitely a much smaller community than lemmyshitpost, but we love anything bat-related!

Absolutely accurate. Over 10 years of marriage, we both have seen some shit. And we are still madly in love.

Imagine the amount of mosquitos you could fit if they were inside in the bats’ bellies! They eat like their weight in bugs every night.

I have a better question - why isn’t this posted in the [email protected] community? We would love it here. Stealing and crossposting now.

You are not wrong, but I also want to say that the antivax movement started in the UK with Andrew Wakefield. Then US made it way more widespread.

Different sources, I just posted them without any additional blurring.

Humiliation implies she felt shame. These people don’t feel shame.

Bitches that pee loud also pee fast! In and out before you know it. Such an evolutionary advantage, tiger can’t kill when so fast.

Don’t ask me how I know.

Haha, my goal in life is to be called either an opossum lady or a bat lady. Smashing success!

That bonus panel is chef’s kiss.

I can speak to that from a somewhat personal perspective because I lost my older brother a few years ago, which means I got to witness my mom losing a child.

I know that she would have greatly appreciated simple flowers later after his passing. She got a lot of flowers and stuff when he passed, which made her feel like he was very loved by his friends.

But then a year later, only a few people remembered. And I think that’s what hurt her the most after the obvious pain of losing her son. That people forgot.

So if you knew his son, you can write a card about how you still remember him and add flowers to that.

It’s usually not about the actual thing you give him but how it’s presented and the words that go with it.

P.S. you are a good person.

I think that as long as you use the crosspost function, and it’s visible who the OOP is, you are fine. When my posts get crossposted, I take it as a badge of honor.

You come off as someone with zero empathy for fellow human beings, especially if they happen to be born in the USA. You do you, I guess.

Homelessness and for people on expensive medications, literal death.

It’s not about “sacrificing comfort.” It’s about literal survival for a lot of people.

PERSONAL STORIES:

Example #1: My nephew needed a heart transplant within days of being born. He is on very expensive drugs for the rest of his life. The only reason his family can afford it is because his dad’s work pays for really good insurance. His dad is basically a prisoner at work.

Example #2: I have bipolar disorder. My one medicine is $1,500 a month without insurance. I get suicidal without it. The only reason we can afford to pay is because of my husband’s job and related insurance. He is basically a prisoner at work.

OTHER STORIES - JUST INSULIN:

• Alec Smith (Age 26, Minnesota, 2017): After turning 26, Alec aged out of his mother’s insurance plan. His monthly insulin costs were estimated at $1,300, prompting him to ration his medication. He was found dead in his apartment from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) shortly after.

• Josh Wilkerson (Age 27, Virginia, 2019): After aging out of his stepfather’s insurance, Josh could not afford the $1,200/month cost for his prescription insulin. He switched to a cheaper over-the-counter version, which was less effective and led to fatal complications.

• Jesse Sheerer-Radcliffe (Age 21, Minnesota, 2019): Jesse died after rationing his insulin due to the high cost, a case his father highlighted as a “ridiculous”, preventable loss.

• Antavia Lee Worsham (Age 22, Ohio, 2017): Antavia struggled to afford her $1,000/month insulin costs and supplies after turning 18 and losing state coverage, resulting in her death from DKA.

• Shane Patrick Boyle (Age 48, Arkansas, 2017): A comic book writer who struggled with costs, Shane was $50 short on a GoFundMe campaign for his insulin and died from DKA just days after his mother passed away.

• Monique Gabriel Moses (Age 26, 2017): After losing her job and insurance, Monique rationed her insulin to make it last, resulting in her death.

• Jesse Lutgen (Age 32, 2018): After losing his full-time job and insurance, Jesse rationed his insulin, which was later determined to be from a “black market” supply of left-over insulin from a deceased friend.
