idk if this part is scary or the fact that they know who the people are and where they live is even scarier
I had to call my phone company last week cause I got two suspicious calls asking about invoices, tow trucks, and the post office. One of them kept asking me where I was. Each one could read my phone number back to me perfectly.
And before you tell me not to answer calls from unknown numbers, I have to answer it in case it’s my job.
But yeah this is real; so watch out folks.
So this has become popular in the states.
this probably has a lot to do with snapchat location services pimps and pedos can and will track your location via snapchat. don’t let your kids use social media.

Anon is purposely taking the statistics of trans suicide out of context and twisting them to fit their narrative, or they’re just incredibly stupid and don’t understand how to read stats correctly. Let me, your resident transgender scientist clear it up for you.
It was found suicide rates increased during transition but then drastically drop once the trans person is post-transition (with what post-transition means different to each trans person obviously). So while 67% of transitioning trans people thought about suicide, this rate dropped to 3% in post-transition trans people
(Bailey et al., 2014).
Futhermore the What We Know Project, a research initiative that is lead at Cornell’s Center for the Study of Inequality, completed the most up-to-date and massive comprehensive literature review as of 2018, on the mental health of trans people that underwent transition and found that out of the studies published since 1991, 93% (56 studies) of all the studies reported that transitioning overall improved the health of transgender people. Only 4% (7 studies) reported mixed findings and 0 studies reported transitioning doing more harm then good.

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.
disgusting
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!
thank you so much for this information. i’m applying for an abled account right now
THERES A WHAT
OH GOD BLESS THE SHIT OUTTA YOU YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FREAKED OUT OVER THIS I WAS
I’ve been looking into SSI; I had no idea about this!
I’m an 18 year old gay trans man of color who is also physically and mentally disabled. I recently came to Canada to stay with a friend and to get away from my abusive family.
During my stay I realized I have a fractured rib, and after a visit to the emergency room I was told that receiving any health care would be very expensive because I am not a Canadian citizen. The fee for seeing a doctor at a walk in clinic is $150-$200. Accessing medical care once I am home will be extremely difficult because of my family.
My main concern is getting a refill for my Albuterol, which was left behind when I had my medication refills shipped to me. I have 14 doses left and normally average 3 a day. I have had to ration this so breathing has been difficult, made worse by the fact that I’m having a flare up (Cyclic Neutropenia) which causes me pain and difficulty breathing on its own. We were told this would cost at least $700.
My friend and I were also left without food in their home after their mom unexpectedly left, so having $50 for groceries would really help. If anyone could send a couple dollars or even just reblog this post I would appreciate it so so much.
