Thank you to the #GOP. Not only did they ban #tiktok, but #CapCut which I use extensively for video editing has also been banned. Thank you for killing small businesses and churches! We cannot afford the expensive software your corporate masters can. As such, we are now screwed. Thank you so much! I hope you get everything you wanted and deserve.
My #UnitedHealthcare story. I am a longtime #diabetic who had uncontrolled #diabetes at the time. I had been on several #medications with no luck getting my A1C down below 8. My doctor wanted to put me on Januvia before attempting insulin. UHC denied my prior authorization for the med. They said we needed to try different meds first. My doctor sent them the list of meds, dates of use and A1C results. I had taken every single med they suggested. Still denied me. I finally got ahold of someone at #UHC “customer service”. After fight with various “managers” one finally explained…I was denied because my life was worth less than the long term cost of the medication. He explained that as a pastor, which has no real value to society, and my health issues, I might live another 10-15 years. I might be able to bring in $20,000 in profit to them in that time if I was lucky. The med cost over that time was over $30,000. So it was not worth the cost.
Please keep our family in prayer today. It was not bad enough to wake up to the election news this morning, but my dad, siblings, and aunts and uncles came out in full support of Trump. When asked about wanted to end healthcare for transgender individuals like my daughter, they voiced their support for bans on such care and bans on people being allowed to be trans.
It appears as though @yunohost is dead. No updates in weeks. My #pixelfed is broken and no one will answer emails or support tickets. I should have found something better than #yunohost, but I am not sure anything better exists. I really love hosting my own #mastodon instance, but that is about all Yunohost has working correctly at this point.
Please help me: I need my CGM sensor and gas to get to school the next week. Total is $125. If you can help, CashApp is bishopgreerg and Venmo is bishopgodsey. Https://paypal.me/GregoryGodsey
@BeAware I agree completely. I review all reports made on our platform. We don't have the number of users mastodon.social has, but they also have more moderators and admins than we do. So they could do a better job, they just choose not to. The number of instances dropping them should be an indication that changes need to be made, but sadly, they will not realize until the whole ship is submerged.
Just a heads up: My instance is about to block mastodon.social. If you are on that instance, we hope you will consider moving to a different instance. The racism, bigotry, abuse, and hatred on mastodon.social is out of control and the admins have no desire to fix it. At this point, we have no choice but to defederate them. #mastodon#fediblock
My wife and daughter were almost run off the road this afternoon by a #trump supporter (evidenced by their large trump sticker) in a white truck in Augusta, GA. He repeatedly tried to run them off the road, got in front of them, and repeatedly break checked them. Why? I guess because of our HRC #equality sticker on the vehicle. Hope the cops get to him first.
It's times like this that I hate #mastodon. Being told that calling for an end to #violence against EVERYONE is proof that I would sell out the #LGBT community and other marginalized people is abhorrent. It will further cause violence against those of us working to end violence against all of us. It is disturbing that our community attacks those of us fighting for our rights. So much for acceptance. #enbybishop
My family could use some help. I am sick with my 4th respiratory infection since January. I need meds and supplies and we have no money. Will cost $250 for everything. Can we get some help please?
I need help. Ideally, I would like to catch up completely, but if we can raise the $206 that would be great too. Anything over that will continue to be applied to bills.
I hate to ask, but we could use some help for #groceries and #meds. We are all sick with upper respiratory infections thanks to all the pollen. We are seeking $200. If you can help…
I would like to point out that this is the height of transphobia and privilege. “I don’t have to listen to you, I will just do what I think you need me to do to be an ally and you will just like it or else.” That is the same privilege that people of color saw from white people who refused to stand against lynchings while calling for POC to just “be patient”. Meanwhile thousands died. Thousands are dying in this trans pogrom while you ignore it
@Npars01 “I hear a lot of talk these days about our direct action talk alienating former friends. I would rather feel they are bringing to the surface latent prejudices that are already there. If our direct action programs alienate our friends … they never were really our friends.”
This quote is talking about you and others who continue to ignore the cry’s of our trans family. You still refuse to call it what it is and that proves Dr. King’s quote applies to you.
