I’m all for fighting for marriage equality in the LGBT community. But we’re so focused on that no one knows about this problem.

W…wait Thats a thing????

Yep! The man I refer to as my husband? We aren’t actually married. We can’t be.

If I married him, the government would literally expect me to care for him and be his sole source of income. He would lose all of his benefits, including SSDI. Spouses are expected to share income and that effects ALL of his benefits, even his health insurance. We simply can’t afford to be married.

But it goes even further than that. If I were disabled, our incomes would STILL be combined, meaning BOTH of us would have our benefits cut.

For people reviving supplemental income, their benefits can be cut anywhere from 25% of their current income all the way down to 0%

In fact, one of the stipulations of receiving income under the adult disabled child program (which provides benefits for people who were disabled before age 22) is that they LITERALLY never be married.

I normally don’t link to blog posts as resources, but since social service resource sites like to dress this problem up and make it seem smaller than it really is, I’m gonna call it appropriate! Check it out!

I’m upset about the situation in case you couldn’t tell.

Hrnngh… This makes me angry.

The way we treat the disabled is downright criminal.

What the fuck? I didn’t know about this!

Saudi Arabia gave women permission to drive and this is the first thing they do 😭

This shit’s harder than ANY post malone track

Somebody on twitter called her SaudiB

This track is hard

I saw that someone who speaks Arabic took a stab at translating it and it turns out she’s basically doing a PSA about safe driving rules and I fell in love

i hate that i can unironically say “has some of the most psychologically complex and compelling characters i’ve seen in any media ever” about a comic that includes the line “bleat like a goat and piss on your turntable”

#homestuck is the modern equivalent to shakespear#incredibly compelling and layered#and chock full of dumb ass humour

I HATE THAT “HOMESTUCK IS THE MODERN EQUIVALENT TO SHAKESPEARE” HAS UNIRONIC TEXTUAL EVIDENCE

Homestuck contains:

  1. a scene in which a child slave, raised to be a time-traveling instrument of death, whose duty it is to shape the course of the universe, stabs her abusive custodian in the head. it is not successful. she loses, for a few seconds, the right to breathe. we go from this scene to onscreen suicide attempt.
  2. an NPC who becomes conscious of the fact that she is an NPC, decides it is her destiny to be the very best NPC there has ever been, and then finds no Chosen One to her liking and so fine, if you want something done right, you just need to do it yourself.
    (this remains the most interesting use of genre-savviness I have ever seen.)
  3. two different versions of a young teenage boy, and their distinct reactions to the death of their abusive and neglectful guardian. one of these boys grows up to grow past the things he’s been fed about masculinity, figure out that he is both allowed love and allowed to love boys, and come to understand his PTSD. the other grows distant and acts like kind of a jerk, who is pretty sure his friends can never like get close to him now because sometimes he acts like a jerk.
  4. a girl who has cycled through an unreasonable number of existences, who has been an emotionless ghost, and then a game construct, and then a robot designed and programmed by a boy who wanted her to want him and who built her this body with ulterior motives – who, before this, was being raised very likely to be a slave – who finally wakes up back inside a body that is hers and has not stopped smiling since
  5. a guy who time travels inside an oven at a speed of one second per second
  6. a really cool wolf head because there was one in The Neverending Story and huss thought that was pretty nifty
  7. penis ouija
