And maybe you'll be like "but if you don't trust businesses, how can you trust welfare?"
I fucking don't. My mom trying to get on food stamps fucked me up because a lady I never met without my permission got my SSN from my mom and started editing my files. My heart still races to this very second whenever I think about it, it kinda messed me up bad and I'll never ever ever see any kind of recourse
And I'm terrified that I'm gonna lose my medicaid just cause I inherited some money from my grandpa
And I've never even applied for disability cause it kinda doesn't matter finding out if I'd qualify or not cause of my depression, when the rules are so restrictive I don't know if I've even be allowed to keep my house
I do not fucking trust these things on a personal level. I feel like out of a lot of people I have the most to fear from them cause I'm on the edge of having things work, and that gets you punished
...but I need medicaid in order to have insurance (and when you strip out the finance side of medicaid, I love medicaid... they're honestly incredible insurance... I just... I just... dental is like 90% of why medicaid is so important to me, ever since I found out this state pays for it I've actually been able to do cleanings which is important to me cause I can't always get myself to brush)
And I think things like disability and food stamps are pretty damn important on a personal level, and honestly are also good for the economy cause they get people spending... it's practically a free cash infusion into the economy, cause these are people who need to buy stuff
There's just so much important stuff welfare does that it's worth dealing with government
No, what I want is more accountability so if someone gets my SSN from a 3rd party like my mom they're held to HIPPA styles standards where that's not ok to access my files without my permission (She changed my fucking address and tried to get medicaid to investigate me for fraud! Never even met me)
Like have some accountability there and in every situation
Secondly I want less punitive focused rules. I'd frankly prefer bezos get on disability than smack down some poor sod cause they got $2000 in the bank or cause their friend lets them live with them for free
If there's gonna be a cut off on these programs, it needs to be a solid step above the poverty line, cause... by definition I assume poverty line denotes kinda the minimum expected income people can reasonably live off of, and if you take away benefits people are gonna lose a chunk of money to covering that stuff themself, so you need a buffer before you kick people off
I don't fucking trust the government for a second, I've actively been fucked by them and on a personal level I avoid everything but medicaid and only that cause everything but the money is pleasant to deal with and I kinda need it (honestly if I was rich I'm not even kidding that I'd rather give medicaid like $400 a month than some insurance company, I sincerely like them as insurance)
But I'd trust them a lot more if they were less punitive, less out to hunt me down and gut me cause someone handed me a fiver or cause I started to get on my feet, and if government employees had concrete rules they had to follow that were actually transparent and enforced
Like 90% of my problems with welfare go away if they're held accountable and there's less "catch the welfare cheats" mentality going around
I don't trust the government in the slightest, but sadly there some jobs it kinda has to do, so I'd just rather force it to be an open book where the public can keep an eye on it and if they step out of line there's consequences (sort of like I don't trust most mega corps but happen to sometimes need stuff from them... did you know literally every cell service provider has been illegally selling shit like your location data to random people like bounty hunters, and the FCC just slapped them with a fine that's 0.02% of their yearly incomes and debated even doing that? I even can offer a source on that)
...I don't trust much of any authority cause they constantly fail me and kinda screw me. Don't trust doctors either, but I still gotta go to them, you know? ...they're just... they're real bad at listening... so many systems need systemic change
(You know who I really don't trust is the cops. I could point to so many examples. My uncle doesn't trust cops either, and he's an ex Fire and SWAT paramedic, he worked with them and we still got into a long conversation where he basically tore into them far better than I can)
(I don't trust authority that's not accountable)

Can you do a Will Byers x trans male reader. Maybe something like his significant other (who is masc passing) gets outed as Trans publicly and how Will would comfort him?
Will Byers with a trans! male reader who gets outed
a little speechless at first tbh, he isn't sure how to handle this kind of situation
after like 5 seconds he would absolutely try to defend you
his comebacks might not be the best and he might stutter a lil bit hey he's trying his best
tries comforting you by giving physical affection, but if you're not a huge fan of it, he's kinda put off but'll try and get you ice cream or something like that to try and cheer you up
Like just imagine your sniffling a little bit and then he's just like "Don't listen to them, they're just a bunch of dicks yknow, plus your's is probably 10x bigger than theirs so don't listen to em" or somethin along those lines of them being dickheads
if youre not up for messin around, that's cool and he'll try to validate your feelings and compliment you a bit
"Y'know I love you right? Just because you don't exactly have the same parts as I do doesn't mean I see you as any less of a guy. I love you regardless, because that shouldn't, and doesn't, change anything about the way I feel about you. "
will try his best to help you feel comfortable with yourself
lends practically gives you his clothes to wear if you'd like
prolly asks Joyce to buy more sweaters specifically for you
overall tries his best to support you <3
btw if theres any typos pls lmk‼️‼️ bc its rlly early for me and i didnt proofread jt and ik typos can ruin the fanfic readin experience tbh

Hey do you guys wanna know something fun. So I found my hatena flipnote account in the archive, right? and I’ve been really thinking about it the past couple days but I just like... had this. um. realization
My sona (one of those really stylized eeveelutions) started out as a jolteon. With an ‘evil side’ that made a scar appear over the right eye whenever it took over the body. And it also became dark as well whenever this happened. AND, yesterday I was just telling strike about how even back then despite my sona being very clearly a girl, the evil side (who I called Negative) was always genderless. I very distinctly remember not being able to think of it as a girl or a boy at all.
Spiky as hell, scarred eye, permanent resident in my brain, and also no gender. Sound familiar? Yeah
I have always been the same. Here’s one of the first pics of it before I changed the design:

I have to say the positive attention new guy has been getting and being well recieved by actually quite a few different people on here has really made me more confident about attempting to actually do a real project with an oc, ik its not gonna be perfect and my abilities to convey things arent always top notch but man i can try and i can always go back redo things too :)
