Actual things I have heard ‘20-something’ people in my life say:

lastoneout:

  • “My chest hurts a lot. It’s probably nothing. Not like I could afford to go see a doctor anyway…”
  • “My teeth are like literally rotting out of my head. I wish I could see a dentist. It’s just too much money, you know?”
  • “I wish I could afford new glasses. Everything’s so blurry and it sucks.”
  • “I been sick for days. I think I might go to Urgent Care, but I don’t know. It’s expensive..”
  • “I feel awful. I wish I could go home. Too bad I need these hours.”
  • “I can’t afford to be sick.”
  • “I’ve been off my meds for months. I just can’t afford them right now.”
  • “I just glued my glasses back together. I can’t afford a new pair.” 
  • “I really hope I get promoted. Then I can get health insurance through the company, I haven’t seen a doctor in years.” 

How much longer does this have to go on before the government realises that its young people are practically DYING because we can’t afford medical care. When is enough going to be enough?

presentatiion:

{ all of the icons that I use with the black border ( art, film, etc. ) I found online posted on forums with permission to use. otherwise I typically don’t use fan art for icons, especially since screencaps are also available, as well as gifs and other promotional art. I’m not a fan of the concept of, “I’m the only person that can use this because I made it.” I respect people who don’t want others using their icons and whatnot, but I personally enjoy sharing what I’ve made because that way I’ve saved someone else the trouble of making it. all this being said, I read rules upon following / becoming mutuals and I understand if you don’t feel the same way. thank you. }

(( It was just noticing the art of Vice that gave me pause for concern. Screencap icons are screencaps and I really don’t care in the slightest where they came from. I did find the icon pack that was part of after I sent you that message, but seeing their artwork used was just a shock this morning. I’m not 100% sure with what permissions that particular icon pack came with in regards the to fan art icons vs what was just movie screencaps. That was my only concern. ))

sarkisms:
