it's just like 8 pages of "has your address changed? has your phone number changed? did you receive any of this type of income? if so, how much? did you receive any of this type of income? if so, how much? did you receive any of this type of income? if so, how much? did you receive any of this type"

I was trying to do that but the language is pretty obscure and I couldn't find it on there in the moment but I actually just finished getting a tab open and set to that before I posted, so if she comes back I'll have it ready

on one hand this is the second most not-my-job thing I've ever done at the pharmacy (the first being helping a recent immigrant activate their credit card which is owned by the same parent company as the pharmacy) but on the other hand helping someone get the drugs they need is the Most My Job sooo

found a phone number for her to call and wrote out a list of basic points to cover like "why was my coverage terminated? what do I need to do to get it back? when will it be reactivated after I do those things?" and she's gonna have an English-speaking person she knows call them.

I had a patient who doesn't speak English at all and I was trying to explain her coverage was terminated (she is very sick and needs some very expensive meds!). She came back with all the letters and emails from her benefits so I went through them with her and I want to explode the UPC with my brain

the number of times where I have said "okay well the two options are [PT/therapy/etc] or medication, you can do both but if you want to treat it you do have to pick at least one"

This is eugenics.

I am one of the people they want to "clean up." I have long-term health issues that cause me to need expensive medications and occasionally procedures to maintain a baseline.

I am disabled, and don't "work" in a way they recognize.

RFK Jr wants me dead.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

Why the fuck am I paying taxes if Canada Post has to turn a profit?!?

It costs $1 to mail a postcard across the country. Of course it's not profitable! That's not the damn point! The point is keeping people connected and this is especially true in rural, remote and Northern communities where for-profit courier services will *never* fill the gap.
