he “corrected” me that LAMA stands for long-acting muscarinic ~agonist and I didn’t argue 😅

I still need help and I accidentally bought the wrong bandaging for my wounds again. Walmart has a $35 delivery minimum to get tape to attach what I have to my skin. Cash app or paypal is what would work best right now.

Even putting aside the fact that AI can't do this and will never be able to do this

Who would *want* this? Who wants a bespoke personal TV show? That they can't meaningfully engage anyone else with? That no human had a hand in crafting? You might as well tell someone about a cool dream you had.

Well I just got the news that I need to go back to my primary care as soon as possible so I have an appointment on Friday morning. No updated screenshots because I'm so tired but I still need help.

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

VERY funny to end up on the same rotation as my PCP this week though

I mean she was like “it acts on the RASS system” and I was like “synthetic vasopressin” but neither of us were like “a dose-dependent increase in cAMP, increasing the permeability of free water in the collecting duct, thereby…”

I know I need a lot of help, but this is just a reminder that I have no money, a phone that barely functions, and I'm very sick. Plus I'm trapped in Utah. For honesty here is what my accounts look like.

A negative wells fargo account with a balance of -$388.82

A Cash app account with $105.00 owed and $0.00 in the account but it's not due yet.

A Venmo Account that needs restored. The balance written in red is -$76.06

vitally important we get Ghost’s phone turned on so he can communicate with his PCP about some new health problems

Ghost @carverredacted.bsky.social · 1d

At the moment I need help dealing with the overdrafts, $32 to turn my phone on, money for paratransit fare, possibly purchasing a medication I need that Medicare/Medicaid refused to cover. I also need cleaning supplies for my apartment and more quarters to do more laundry.

So like I'm not lying about being sick and I'm not lying about being disabled but the issue with the social security office can only be fixed in person for some reason and I am too sick to go. Luckily my medical needs are mostly covered at the moment. But I need some other things.

she chose the “indigo night” school picture backdrop, whatever she wears has to have enough color to actually be visible

if I'd planned ahead a little I would have selected a truly preppy outfit and then we could have compromised on this outfit but Levi was already in bed in their shared room

blaine @jblainefoster.bsky.social · 1d

she will not wear it specifically because I picked it

1 11

blaine @jblainefoster.bsky.social · 1d

the outfit is a dark green long sleeved shirt and a pair of dark wash baggy blue jeans, it's the elusive venn diagram overlap between preppy and grunge I promise

she got black Doc Martens for her birthday (from Ross so like $30), I'm sure I Just Don't Get It Because I'm So Uncool though

Me: "Okay so you have a style I would describe as 'grunge,' and it's very cool and it's very you, but for school picture day tomorrow you have to wear this outfit OR an outfit of your choosing that is equivalently new, and equivalently free from holes or paint stains."
