Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

#raises hand #i dont understand #please explain? 

In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.

It doesn’t matter what it’s for.

You’re saving up for a new wheelchair?

For college?

To put a downpayment on a house?

Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?

Your benefits immediately get cut off if you’re a cent over $2,000.

And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.

So say you get $400. If they find out you’re twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.

“What if I spend the money that day?”

Doesn’t matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.

And yes, this system literally kills people.

Remember when “Guardians of the Galaxy” came out? one of Rocket Racoon’s creators, Bill Mantlo, suffered an accident in 1992 and has irreparable brain damage.

before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantlo’s family.

Bill Mantlo’s brother had to come out and explain: If Marvel gave them monetary aid, Bill Mantlo would lose his financial assistance.

That’s so utterly depressing.

I have friends on welfare who won’t pick up a penny in the street because they’d risk the welfare they struggled to get for 10 years.

oh look another fucked up thing in this world. let’s just add it to the list. number 63858b

My brother has been on California State SSI for autism for the last 10 years, and he absolutely has to (no joke, HAS TO) spend all 720 bucks of his SSI every month, because if he puts it in the bank he risks losing his SSI altogether.

Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesn’t want to get anywhere near 2,000.

And here’s the funnest part of the story!

One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didn’t want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.

The state IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.

He also had to cancel his renter’s assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money they’d cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and it’s the stupidest shit in human history.

Please, legal side of Tumblr, tell me what positive reasoning this law has?

Happy 4th of July everyone! This is what the “nation of opportunity” looks like.

There’s something called an ABLE account that can help. If you are on SSI and were diagnosed as disabled before the age of 26 you can apply for an ABLE account that will allow you to save up to $99,000. More people need to know about this!

transyasha

thank you so much for this information. i’m applying for an abled account right now

luigicat11 asked:

What about the alternate timelines you've shown us (Alternate Alpha Sprites, Tavris survives)? What would the Spriteblood Signs of those look like? Well, I can guess what the AAS timeline's would look like since you just mix the two castes' Signs (or add shades for Crimson) as with the CSAU examples, but Tavris' (canon) symbol isn't Scorpio and Taurus mixed, it's Taurus with rays from the Light symbol, so would that version of the Azure Signs be partially based on Aspect symbols?

meraki-sunset answered:

If you’re talking about this guys ==>

their signs are in their descriptions

As for Tavris, i think their sing could look something like this

luigicat11

I was referring to the Extended Zodiac Signs (I saw the ones for the main four), but I like your take on Tavris.  I guess that settles it then, it’s just mixing the two castes’ alphabets together for each, which makes sense.

Sup uhhhhh i did this as a reference for writing. Maybe it can be usefull for someone else out there.

It’s all trolls with known signs’s classpect and tittle acording to the extended zodiac

The hotdog juggling guy i made it up. I just like him. he’s just a lil guy.

Also, we all agree Fiamet is a lime in disguise right? the lime socks, the lack of fins, the tail(???) why the heck does she have a tail when no other troll in history have had one? no one knows, a little mary sue if you ask me. But whatever acording to the extended zodiac, her sign is Aquamino = violet/doom/prospit wich i think is a fake sign to blend in and her real sign is Camino (means path in spanish lol) exactly the same aspect and moon but with her real blood, lime. Wich looks like water waves, tiding up to the whole axolotle shiny-pokemon thing

EDIT: aparently Idarat, the OC  from the winner of the comic contest is canonically also a lime in disguise and like what i theorized with Fiamet, his true symbol acording to his creator is the same lunar sway and aspect as his visible teal sign, but lime.

when no other troll in history has had a tail *slowly hides headcanon that the leijons' tails are real behind my back* homestuck crow strider au

Almost every issue I’ve read so far has a one-page gag comic involving Sonic being faster than the speeds of light and sound that makes absolutely no sense, such as this one about Sonic being faster than his own shadow or the one about him having a conversation on the phone with himself, and I think the best way to describe them is “frustrating.”

luigicat11

The most frustrating, and also hilarious, thing about these gags is that power scalers eat this kind of thing up like Popeye eats spinach

well not as much as they ate up the water ball feat still it's hilarious how they swallow one-off gag feats like this hook line and sinker

Anonymous asked:

If you ship davesprite and Jadesprite and crow and Jade because you think it works more if their the same species what do you think of davepeta and Jade does it work more or the same as davesprite and jade

meraki-sunset answered:

(I just now realize i misunderstood this ask but whatever)

This is a super funny concept! the sprites beeing the same species, making the kids the same kind of hybrid

after thinking about it for a bit i came up with a posible scenario for that to happen in each case

So picture this:

image

ALT

instead of Bequerel, Jade’s sprite gets prototiped with one of the many taxidemied animals on the tower, in the middle of the chaos, in this case a seagull (to make it kind of oposite to crow)

image

ALT

we get seagull sprite, pretty useless but asuming Jade could enter the game on her own, in time before the meteor’s colision, it works

image

ALT

this gives us seagull-Jadesprite, who then turns into Jade when she godtiers, turning her hair white like a seagull, oposite to Crow

image

ALT

Of course this timeline would be hella doomed without bec noir existing, but it’s fun to play with the idea

On the other hand

image

ALT

Picture this scenario, Dave throws his katana down the window to get the crow, instead of just shooting it through the window

image

ALT

All the crows get the atention of a neigthbour’s dog

image

ALT

Pow. no more dog

image

ALT

Just like with the Crow, Jade prototipes the poor dead dog, giving us, dogsprite. Dave2 from the doom timeline shows up, and jumps into the sprite

image

ALT

stuff happens like in the au but with dog-davesprite. now we have two dog kids (this kid’s name most likely wouldn’t be Crow, but who cares)

image

ALT

This timeline would be actually posible i think. i can’t remember a canon reason why davesprite needed to specifically be a bird and no other animal, so yeah, i think it could work

as for Davepeta, i think Jade and them could have had something in canon, since they no longer dread their existence and are back to a humanoid form and no longer look like a sad worm on a string

ignore any gramatical mistakes, i don’t feel like double checking today

i can’t stop making AUs

ngl that update screwd me over but seeing davepeta (my fave character best nyan-binary catperson ever) go apeshit did scratch a little itch i didn't even know i had

meraki-sunset answered:

The thing with Davepeta is

They have seen it all twice

They are Ultimate self, so they have seen all timelines from the perspective of both Dave and Nepeta, all of Earth, all of Elternia, all versions of the game, all the ways every single person they know can die, including themselves.

They are an enclopedia of posible outomes and doomed timelines, which makes them incredibly dangerous when possessed, because having seen everything happen, they know just how to repeat it. that’s why they were so fast killing everyone, they have seen it happen before

image

This also makes them really hard to control, which is why while they were possessed, no one else was, they took all the Condesce’s concentration

luigicat11

Okay, the way you colored Davepeta in some of the far-off shots gave me those vibes before, but this picture deadass looks like a Figment from PRIZM█.  Would you happen to be familiar with/inspired by it?
