To Cuff Or Not To Cuff? That Is The Question.

Kataras headwrap that is clearly inspired by a protective bonnet thats simultaneously completely unrelated to the characters original design and yet immediately recognizable

“Most hospitals in America are non-profits, which means they must have financial assistance or Charity Care policies. This is gonna sound weird, but what that means is that if you make under a certain amount of money, the hospital legally has to forgive your hospital bills. Let me show you how this works. Type in the hospital name with ‘financial assistance’ after. Should be the top link. Let’s check. What you wanna do is look for financial assistance applications and policies. Let’s check the policy. From here, what you’re looking for is a sliding scale of benefits. 0-300% of the poverty guidelines, they will forgive 100% of your medical bills. So you can see here that 300% is $37,470, so if you make under that amount, the hospital will legally forgive your medical bills. If you’re a larger household, you can check it out from here. If you wanna test it out, I run a non-profit that does this so DM me, and I will actually do it for you, and see if we can crush those medical bills.” The guy’s Tiktok handle is @dollarfor.

1. This generally doesn’t cover ANY preventative care, only sick visits and specialty visits.

2. Gynecological care is usually not covered.

3. Pay attention to which doctor you’re seeing! Even if you are approved by the hospital, the doctor/nurse you’re seeing may be a private practitioner within the hospital, therefore THEIR bills wouldn’t be waived.

4. Lab work, X-rays, and other diagnostic tests are generally not covered which means you’ll still have to pay for those.

5. Prescriptions are never covered. Use GoodRX.com to compare prescription prices and find the lowest provider. Additionally, tell your doctor you don’t have insurance. They’ll usually find the cheapest prescription, change the number of pills prescribed (fun fact, more pills can mean lower prices than less pills!), or even give you free samples!!

6. If you qualify for the charity program, chances are you’ll also qualify for the charity program for long-term prescription medications. Look up your medications manufacturer to see what assistance is offered. In some cases you can even get your medication for free!

Link to entire thread which is filled with sources and text resources:

Here is a wonderful thread addressing these topics in addition to confirming the presence of people in precolonial Africa who were not what we consider cisheterosexual-filled with book recommendations, full PDFs and various text resources

I was forced to watch it with family and let me tell yall, that was.....an experience (not a pleasant one in any way)

And it's so bizarre because they would occassionly bring up good points and historical facts supported by written and visual accounts regarding buck breaking. Because that is a thing(at least from understanding of the film's context, I believe it has other meanings but I'm just talking about this for now)slave masters did and something that is still carried out against Black people

But then when it came to topics about homosexuality and how that came from the Europeans, they just stopped using logical evidence and just spewed whatever was convenient for their agenda

The documentary could have been an opportunity to open discussions of how things like buck breaking allowed White people to control perceptions of gender expressions of Black people to this day
