I can't prove my income is below the monthly limit for qualifying for healthcare in chittenden county. So in attempting to be honest that my income went from 0 to a number well below poverty line, I have lost access to healthcare.

I'm well below monthly cut off for heathcare assistance, but I couldn't get to drop off point in time (they don't allow mailing it in for some reason).How do working homeless/carless people get healthcare in Vermont?If I had lied & said it was still 0, I would have been fine.

All the "qualified healthcare plans" that they say I need to get on are way too expensive for me.I hate that I keep falling into these weird gaps in our healthcare & support network system.

I'm going to buy snowpants so I can walk to get foodstamps. I can at least prove that I am an working again so they'll help me with food without jumping thru bullshit hoops.

Some weird irony that if I wasn't working, i'd have healthcare. So I'm literally choosing between having food and having medical coverage. What bullshit.Anyway, can someone point me to how to set my own bones? I have a severe lack of knowledge in that area.

Speaking of breaking bones, I should buy snow cleats so I don't slip and fall on the ice. Or learn to fix an ankle fracture.https://t.co/VUAilC5XMn

Making a joke about wanting to learn how to set my own bones, and then some time shortly later I am learning about a traditional Korean health aid that is suspected to speed bone break recovery.https://t.co/IFWL8xAg29

This is the correct response to learning that wine made with the feces/microbiota of a young growing boy can improve bone growth. https://t.co/EFEOPHbiZ5

Which I can infer is likely by direct action on microbiota driven calcium metabolism.Fun fact: if we want to go to mars one day, we may need to make our microbiome process calcium differently to avoid bone loss.https://t.co/aymdDJhpUc

I wonder what laws are on making antibiotics for own consumption."there was an emerging crisis in the global anti-infectives market as fragile drug supply chains - reliant on just a few big suppliers - come close to collapse."https://t.co/SINMj61wNohttps://t.co/auoISQuwwy

TL;DR: why paperwork makes me suicidal now.I specifically asked to get paid below amt necessary to file taxes because paperwork makes me want to die.My emergency plans involve living in woods / going homeless. Its easier than getting help.https://t.co/Jlqcbfocu5

Note to self: Next time I choose between homelessness and living with my mom... I might choose homelessness. TL;DR: I need a hexayurt.

"The fact that bacteria make antimicrobials is hardly surprising. The ones that doctors prescribe today were mostly discovered in the soil, made by microbes. What is surprising is that the chemicals used by the ants work so well."https://t.co/kdUDMIeNLv

I have access to a bear and am thinking a lot about hiding a bunch of coffee cherries in the woods and wondering if I can get a digestible GPS device to figure out where it ended up excreting them.https://t.co/d0ZhcX9Kho

Apparently this GPS pill from 2009 was meant as a sort of joke to highlight the uncomfortable nature of modern medicine.https://t.co/nPmQC9MYVvI'm just mad I can't find a GPS tracker for bear scat.

Trying to figure out how that digestible sensor works. I think it might be this RFID mechanism?https://t.co/N1eOEV2Gk2Which oddly says it belongs to "Carestream Health Inc"whereas the one here https://t.co/tkjHKa17b9 says it belongs to "Eastman Kodak Company". Non-starter. https://t.co/xQAySPHxzL
