Tumblr adding polls was the best thing because it doesn’t matter what you’re asking, tumblr users LOVE sharing their opinions. You could ask something wildly abstract like “What cardinal direction do you associate with the person you reblogged this from?” and by the end of the day it’ll have 20k notes and there’s probably some kind of discourse happening in the replies.

Tumblr, you do not understand how little I want another 20k post.

how could you do this to me.

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

dude.

[VIDEO DESCRIPTION AND TRANSCRIPT:

A tweet from Twitter user Darien (@/DareBear1226) that reads "This could literally save a life. Save a family. My god" with the following video attached.

A TikTok user in blue lighting: "What's a piece of information that you learned that feels illegal to know?"

(The on-screen captions say the same thing)

TikTok user @/dollarfor (speaking to the camera): "Most hospitals in America are non-profits which means they have to have financial assistance or charity care policies."

(On-Screen captions: "Most hospitals in America are non-profits. That means they must have a Charity Care Policy.")

dollarfor: "This is going to sound weird, but what that means is that if, uh, you make under a certain amount of money, the hospital legally has to forgive your medical bills. Let me show you how this works."

(On-Screen captions: "If you make under a certain amount of money the hospital will legally have to forgive your medical bills.")

dollarfor (while typing "legacy health financial assistance" into Google search and clicking the top result): "Type in the hospital name with 'financial assistance' after it. Should be the top link, let's check."

(On-Screen Captions: "Type in the hospital name + financial assistance.")

dollarfor (while scrolling down the Legacy Health Financial Assistance webpage and clicking on the Financial Assistance Policy link): "What you wanna do is look for financial assistance applications and policies, let's check the policy."

dollarfor (while scrolling down the policy document, then highlighting the sliding scale information): "From here what you're looking for is a sliding scale that- is right here. (quoting document) '0-300% of the federal poverty guidelines' (end quote), they will forgive 100% of your medical bills."

(On-Screen Captions: "Go to the site and look for their policy.")

dollarfor (while displaying a chart showing 2020 Federal Poverty Levels): "So you can see here that 300% of the federal poverty guidelines is 37,470 so if you make under that amount, uh, the hospital will legally forgive your medical bills, and if you're a larger household you can check it out from here."

(On-Screen Captions: "Gross Annual Income.")

dollarfor (speaking to the camera): "If you wanna test it out, I run a non-profit that does this so, uh, DM me and I will actually do it for you, to see if we can crush. those. medical bills."

(On-Screen Captions: "I crush hospital bills. TEST ME.")

VIDEO DESCRIPTION AND TRANSCRIPT ENDS]

Added a description/transcript since I couldn't find one for this post! (Please let me know if there's any way this description could be improved, it's my first time writing one and I want any descriptions I write to be as accessible as possible!)

I also went and checked out the dollarfor TikTok account, and according to their latest video, the popularity of the video in this post means that they've now received way more claims than they currently have staff to handle. They are looking for more monthly donations so they can hire more staff to help manage all the claims.

Here is the link to the Dollar For Website if you would like to make a donation or submit a claim.

And here is the dollarfor TikTok account if you would like to learn more about what they do and what you can do to help.

I don't live in the US, but I hope this information will be useful to all of you who do!

Worldbuilding tip for aspiring fantasy authors! Give that swordsman a bigger ass

That is the exact reason I made this post, hell yeah

your archers should also look like they are regularly doing 80lb loads on the fly machine because that's what drawing a bow is. they can skip leg day but all those lithe and willowy elf archers should have tits that could crack a walnut.

this isnt even accurate to all historical archery. 80lbs was a standard for english longbowmen. mongolian cavalry would regularly be double that at 160lbs draw strength. most indian bamboo bows are around 20lbs draw. japanese yumi mostly have double that at 40lbs.

this is all to say, however: their back and shoulders and arms would be fucking BEEFED and also oftentimes kind of extremely fucked up. and thats sexy as fuck.

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

People can't just say "I don't like this music" anymore they gotta call you gay and autistic for listening to a band that had one song go viral

Never mind the “Who shot first?” stuff; THIS is the defining moment of the Han Solo character:

Everyone else was just like: “Oh, fuck: It’s Vader!” and standing around in shock and terror when Vader was revealed. Even Chewie.

Most people, I suspect, would have that reaction. 

Meanwhile, Han’s first reaction, instinctively, in less than a second, was to grab a gun and try to flat-out end the guy.

He failed, of course. But God Damn if you can’t appreciate the effort. 

Also, he grabs his girl’s hand. Not only is he going to end Vader, he’s going to do so while reassuring the woman he loves that this monster who tortured her won’t hurt her again as long as he’s there to do something about it.

The point of this scene:

Han was nothing to Vader. Not really. Han was just a normal, average guy. Vader didn’t think too much of him. 

“I have superpowers; you don’t!”

But then: doesn’t Han show more love, affection, guts and courage in this moment than any Jedi warrior ever could? 

Thus, Vader is shown up.

Attempting to kill an evil wizard with a regular gun is one of the most Han Solo things ever. I don’t think most people would even bother trying, because you can’t just shoot Darth Vader, right? Of course not. But Han’s gonna goddamn try it anyway.

Yeah, basically’ Han tried.

Sometimes that’s all you can ever ask of someone.

With Han, you never have to wonder, “Why didn’t he just shoot them?” Whenever you’d think that, he shoots them.

Han Solo is a practical soul and if he’s got the chance to just shoot them he’s gonna take it

The whole “how the hell does this predatory creature get enough sustenance” thing that plagues fantasy and sci-fi occasionally gets so absurd it loops around into being funny, like the scene in Star Wars when the Millenium Falcon is flying through an asteroid field and gets swallowed by a worm.

I could complain about that, but I could also conclude that the supply of reckless space pilots flying into asteroid fields has been consistent enough for the past few million years for animals to evolve to prey upon them.

Who knows. Maybe there are enough adventuring parties roaming about the Forest of Doom to increase the available biomass at their trophic level in order to sustain tertiary consumers like giant spiderwolves...

“You’re going into the Catacombs? No one survives the Catacombs! Many an adventurer has tried!”

“Uh, how many have tried?”

“Enough to form an entire ecological niche for species specialized to prey upon them!”

“Oh. That, uhh, that is a lot.”

“Right? It’s pretty fascinating actually. I’m writing my thesis on it right now.”
