Republicans keep saying the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about losing Medicaid.

All disabilities are genuine.

You also need healthcare to get a diagnosis. To get the paperwork done. To “prove it.”

They’re ensuring people get trapped in red tape loopholes so they can’t get care.

for a lot of people with severe mental illness this will go like:

1) “not disabled enough” to stay on medicaid

2) lose access to the medication that made that the case

3) become psychotic/so severely disabled that jumping through the hoops to go back on medicaid or get on ssi is impossible

4) die

I have been informed that the term “megafauna” is no longer current. The preferred term is “megabiota,” which encompasses large, mobile organisms, including plants, animals, and fungi, that weigh over 99 pounds.

Considering the substantial bacterial presence within the human body, this reclassification appears justifiable.

If you happen to be a mushroom zombie, a living bog monster, or a skin-bound creature, please feel free to refer to yourself as anthropocene megabiota.
