December Swaps

There are no December swaps.
I've spent over a week with whatever sore throat fever flu thing that's going around, after all the Other Shit. Basic meds and stuff is taking over my life.
Crushing debts are about to skyrocket from things like tariffs, 25%+ for food, car parts, and other very basic every day things. Corporations will raise prices well ahead of those, so don't you delude your sweet lil heart over thinking it won't happen "for months."
And if you voted for Trump and any of his little group, you have effectively also voted to dissolve my friends' marriages, repeal Disability funding, and cut Medicare. They've also spent years trying to repeal the pre-existing condition protections in healthcare. That would be an actual death sentence for me.
EDS is genetic. So is my friends' cancer- which is now stage 3 because pre-existing conditions were a valid reason to deny insurance coverage when she was diagnosed, and most states don't have medicare expansion. "But WHADDABOUT county and charity programs????" lol baby doll, you think those exist until you apply for them. County "insurance" covered bloodwork and radiology to show that she had cancer, and that took a year. She is suffering and will likely die from a totally curable condition. A condition that WAS curable, at least. Now there's so much damage. I don't know.
So no, we cannot "just be friends." I am not friends with anyone who wants me and people like me to die, they're just too fucking passive aggressive and cowardly to hold the weapon themselves.
If that makes you sad or mad, boo hoo. Your actions have consequences. Now sit with them.
