Hey, non-disabled people (and/or disabled people who are still able to work).
If you've ever been like "I mean the system is broken, but is it really THAT bad?"
Or if you or a family member are like "These disabled people are just leeching off the system and something something Welfare Queens something something Cadillacs"
Or even if you just hear me shouting about esoteric bullshit like the In-Kind Support and Maintenance Rule and are like "Why do we even have that lever?"
John Oliver's most recent episode covers the harrowing world of disability benefits and I'd invite anyone who hasn't had to go through that process to watch it, because I think people should know what I mean
Anyway, harass your representatives in congress to pass the Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act and the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act.
It'd be life-changing for a LOT of people.

New oc idea: First day of being a Jedi knight they have an accident, somehow speed run enlightenment, and become a force ghost. Now the temple has a resident ghost trying to officially become a Jedi master.

On the morning of the knife fight I was scheduled to lose, I washed myself in the ritual soap and dressed in soft, loose fitting clothes as was the custom. I would not break my fast until after the deed was done.
My second ferried me to the entry point at the North, where I declared my secret name to the gatekeeper and several acolytes in quick succession. They prepared me for the inner sanctum, infusing my veins with salt water and drawing intricate sigils on my chest. I bid farewell to my second, who would keep vigil outside. I remember very little after this, but when I awoke, I felt a great weight had been lifted from my chest.
