I have Walmart+ because getting groceries from the store to my apartment via bus…is not as fun as I thought it would be. Luckily since I’m on some government assistance programs I get it for half off. Paramount+ is included in the sub, so I’m using that.
I also use Pluto.tv / Tubi / etc since they are free. Along with Hoopla, which my local library offers for free. I’ve also got an HDHomeRun setup with an antenna to catch the local channels OTA and stream it to my laptop since I don’t have a TV.
At one point I had Hulu/Disney+, Max, and BritBox all at the same time and I just couldn’t. Especially with Hulu, I’m paying for the service and have to be subjected to ads? This is not the cord cutting revolution I was promised! I’ll put up with the commercials if it’s a free service to a point.
I have a history of addiction and lack of self-control in general when it comes to anything that can be addicting (which turns out to be a hell of a lot of things).
spoiler: It would be easier for me to answer what can I say no to?

HUD housing is already a shithole in most areas. I guarantee nobody on DOGE even understands what HUD does. I live in HUD housing because in on SSDI.
I’m going to be homeless soon, if I’m not disappeared before any changes happen to HUD.

There’s a long list before they start fucking with liberals. Yes, it’s coming. But first:
- “illegals” (currently happening)
- “parasites,” people on SSDI, SNAP, Medicaid, and in HUD housing (hey look! That’s me! 🫠)
- trans / non-binary • protestors and high-profile political opponents
- registered Democratic voters

There was a traffic stop a month or so ago where the city police were called by BP for assistance and they actually assisted them in kidnapping people. The mayor is pissed and says that can’t happen due to our sanctuary city status (since 1986) and now the federal government is suing us. We have a HUGE population of immigrants from all over the world here as refugees and to attend our two universities and this is going to get ugly.
The head of C&BP is coming to my city this week because of all this. Something tells me ICE is going to be crawling all over this city the whole week and longer. BP already crawls all over the city because we’re on the northern border.
I live in a HUD building. I see ICE searches without warning in my near future because of how many immigrants are here. My cane might be useful for more than just balancing me while walking.
As someone with multiple mental illness labels and struggling to do basic levels of self-care often, I’m terrified of this. But I also unrealistically think it works make my life easier. Besides the torture.
