#insurance

🐎 There seems to be an overabundance of horses that have managed to get out of various fields and are either dodging traffic or wandering about in residential areas.
🐴 They keep getting reported on the village FB group and the owners will respond saying “oh that sounds like one of mine, I’ll come and get them.”
🐎 One of them (owner obvs 🤭) posted an advert on the group just the other day looking for someone to help with their horse during the day. They weren’t willing to pay anybody anything but said the successful candidate needed to provide their own insurance. Which sounded like a bit of a rip-off to me, but surprisingly there were a number of takers.
🐴 I knew a guy who worked with the horses in the local fields. He’d come straight to the pub from the field, the landlord would let him go upstairs and sleep for a while in one of the rooms, and then he’d come down later when there was music on. He’d dance the night away twirling his flatcap around. He passed away just a few years ago sadly.

I really miss my best friend. her moving out of state has really bummed me out cuz that's less time I'll see her and my babies, but at the same time I am so happy for this step forward in her life she has worked so hard for. I'm just lonely around here, I don't have many friends that are close by and the one I do is fighting with cancer so I do my part to make sure our distance is kept so she doesn't get sick in any way since a lot of us have been sick lately from strep to sinus infections. tomorrow is also my mawmaws memorial service and I think that too has played a part in my depression and also not looking forward to seeing my uncle who I cut off back in 17' for publicly shaming me on fb over our difference of opinion. he's been starting unnecessary drama with my dad over money from my grandmother's insurance policy cuz he's an addict and only wants money to fuel his drug use.

I’m actually going to 2 therapists right now… yikes lol 😬

---

It’s not too bad. One is online through BetterHelp. Pros and cons:

---

Pros
- can always text my therapist 24/7
- she replies at least once a day every day except Sunday and her vacations/holidays
- she herself is great to talk with and is super supportive and friendly

---

Cons:
- insurance doesn’t cover it
- mine specifically only does 30 minute appointments which isn’t typically long enough for what I need
- I can’t book a new appointment until my next one is complete so I don’t usually get appointments at the times I want
- my specific therapist is in a different time zone so my appointments with her typically are at weird hours like 7am before I go to work

---

My local therapist is also great, I don’t have any complaints about her. She even accommodated my 8am appointment request although she comes in at 9 typically.

---

So far my only real complaints with all therapists I’ve come across are their hours. They work like 9-4 Monday-Thursday and I work 8-5 Monday-Friday so that’s super inconvenient lol. Also it takes too long to see any changes but that’s not therapy’s fault 😂

i'm thrilled and overwhelmed and excited and terrified all at the same time, LOL.

there's so much sh*t i have to do this weekend to prepare for the apartment, and i know i'll be able to get it all done, but it's *so* daunting, aaah. i already got the renter's insurance in my name, i just need to get the electric utility in place and my roommate and i have to get bank checks for the deposit & pet fee and drop everything off on monday. i'll probably take the day off from work, tbh.

---

after that is all done, then i need to PACK and order the MOVING TRUCK and coordinate with the internet company so i can get wifi set up asap, shfhshaksjd. i only have two weeks.

---

i'm word vomiting at this point, sry. i also need to get moving boxes/totes and we need to start shopping for some basic household stuff. i rly want to take a vacation after this is all done, lmfaoo.

For the first ten years of my relationship, marriage wasn't even an option for us so then we weren't allowed to want it. But building a life with someone means securing your future together, something you will understand once you build a life with someone too. There are 1,300 rights and privileges same-sex couples don't get when they're not allowed to marry. This includes giving your spouse health insurance, pension, inheritance, healthcare proxy, etc etc etc. Adult things I know, but it's foolish to think that marriage is about romance. You can have that without marriage. Marriage is primarily a contract. Not to tie someone to you, but to protect your relationship and the family you're building together legally. You can have a strong commitment without it of course, but in this world we decided to protect our relationship, assets, and each other with marriage. Here's to hoping you'll never have the complications in life that would require legal protections. Here's wishing you're also allowed all the rights and benefits straight people get automatically even if they've just met.

Ich missbrauche diese Frage nicht nur, um ausführlich darauf zu antworten, sondern auch, um auf die USA hinzuweisen und ihre konservativen Hampelmänner, die der Meinung sind über Körper und Leben bestimmen zu dürfen.

---

Und ja: Ärzte sollten "Werbung" für Abtreibungen und Beratungsgespräche machen dürfen, weil...

---

a) Selbstständige Entscheidung: Frauen sollten über ihren Körper selbstständig entscheiden können

---

b)Gesundheitsrisiko: Einige Schwangerschaften verlaufen nicht wie geplant. Für die Schwangere kann das Lebensgefahr bedeuten.

---

c) Abdriften in die Illegalität: Sind Abtreibungen verboten, werden diese vielfach unprofessionell und illegal vorgenommen, was hohe Gesundheitsrisiken für die Schwangere birgt. Das ist ein bisschen, wie das legalisieren von Cannabis. Illegal bedeutet nicht, dass es nicht gemacht wird.

---

Behinderung: Kinder mit schwersten Behinderungen, die sowohl das Leben der Eltern als auch des Kindes stark beeinträchtigen, können frühzeitig abgetrieben werden.

---

e)Vergewaltigungen: Das ist selbsterklärend

Es gibt immernoch Mädchen und Frauen, die sich gar nicht erst beraten lassen und ich würde mir wünschen, dass wir die Gesellschaft so öffnen können, dass jede Frau selbstbestimmt und Selbstbewusst und ohne extrinsische Einflüsse entscheiden kann, was sie in diesem Fall tut.

---

Und in den USA treiben sie es nun auf die Spitze: Hier herrscht ein klarer Rückschritt. Letztens habe ich ein Interview gesehen, in dem die Forderung nach Sklaverei Einzug erhielt - dann die Entscheidung des Surpreme Courts..

---

Ich bin super bestürzt und trauere. In Amerika wird jetzt sicherlich auch ein Abtreibungstourismus nach Kanada entstehen. Damit ist niemandem geholfen..aber gut, die hatten ja eh keine health insurance - teuer wars also eh. Und auf der anderen Seite führt irgendein bekloppter Krieg.

---

Damn. Es tut so weh. Diese Dummheit tut so weh.
