Oh, For Cryin' Out Loud!

(Bev would SO have got her Enterprise theatre group to do Mamma Mia at some point, dont even try to tell me otherwise)

It has more of a meaning as the season goes on. That's pretty much all I can say, but I think once you watched the entire season, there's more of a thematic resonance to that. That [playlist] was the idea, that maybe there's still a connection between these two, an unspoken connection after all these years.

3 things that made me feel like I'd come home in Picard s3 ep1:

1. Beverly Crusher

2. Jean-luc seeing Beverly again after 20 years and immediately all of his priorities shifting back. Homeboy has never had any chill when it comes to Bev. Blessings upon my house.

Beverly Crusher

“You sure you want to be in there for this?”

HAVE FUN.

I was rewatching stargate sg1 (again) and...

SAM WITH THIS HAIRCUT AND THIS JACKET OMG.

Hey everyone! I made this one for SJ Ship Day and posted it to Twitter on the day completely forgetting to upload here!!

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

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.

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.

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.
