I am extremely bitter right now. I went to pick up my prescriptions today, and found out that my Vyvanse has risen in price. Up until now, it’s varied from $35 for a month’s supply. Now, all of a sudden, it’s $80 for a month’s supply. For a sense of scale, all of my other medications are $10 each (sometimes less) to fill.

I did some research to try and figure out why they decided to more than double the price. The short answer: because they can. There are minimal government restrictions on the pharmaceutical industry in terms of their pricing, so they can charge whatever they want. In addition, Medicare/Medicaid is legally restricted from trying to negotiate prices. Another huge factor is that the pharmaceutical industry is monopolized, with many medications often being distributed by only one company.

And then there’s this little thing called “evergreening”. This is when a company slightly changes the formula of the medication, releases it as “new”, discontinues the old treatment, and then charges more for the “new” product that is effectively identical.

So, I suppose what I’m getting at is that the cost of one of my medications (one that I need to be able to function and stay awake), more than doubled in price for absolutely no reason other than some company wanted more money.

A lot of people aren’t aware of this, so please reblog if you feel so inclined.

if an older kid (16+) asks you out, say no and cut off communication immediately. if they continue to ask you out or try to threaten you into dating them, tell an adult. dont let the situation advance in their favor.

stay safe

Yes, they will say “but you’re just so mature for your age”. Yes, they will say how you don’t come off as a child.

That does not matter.

RUN.

Please stay safe.

I’m currently accepting donations and commissions- I am disabled and in desperate need of a service dog. You can read the full story on my indiegogo page, but the reason I need a service dog is because of my narcolepsy. Having a service animal would allow me to live a more productive, safe, and fulfilling life.

The fundraiser is here: Click!

I would appreciate any and all donations. I also have a donate button on this blog, and it should be visible in the top left corner of the page. All money donated to me will be used EXCLUSIVELY for my service dog fund. I will not use any money donated to me for any other purpose.

If you don’t necessarily want to donate but are interested in commissions, I have a list of commission prices as well as a $5 sketch special I’m currently doing. Money earned from commissions will be set into the service dog fund, but may also be used for other medical expenses such as buying my medications and paying for doctor’s office visits. In a bind, money made off of commissions will be used to pay for living expenses, such as food.

Commissions Prices: Click!
$5 Sketch Special: Click!

Even a couple dollars can go a long way, and I appreciate any help you all are willing to give. <3 I would greatly appreciate even just a signal boost, honestly. I’ve had separate posts going around about this, but I figured it would be easiest to put it all in one post, with the fundraiser and commissions link all in one place.

Remus Lupin fell asleep on the Quidditch bleachers in their second year. James Potter and Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew woke him up, and they propped him up all the way up the stairs.

Remus Lupin fell asleep in the middle of Charms class. Peter Pettigrew took notes for the both of them all class and woke him up with a shoulder tap and a smile.

Remus Lupin fell asleep on the moving staircase in fifth year, and Lily Evans laughed so loudly she woke him up. He insisted he was just resting his eyes for a minute. They walked back to the common room together, and he threw an arm around her shoulder and they both pretended it wasn’t because he was too weak to walk on his own. 

Remus Lupin fell asleep in the common room, late in sixth year, and Sirius Black found him curled up on the couch with his Muggle book open on his chest. Sirius took the blankets off both their beds, because Moony got cold so easily, and dropped them over the other boy. He picked up his book and put it on the coffee table.

Remus Lupin fall asleep in the library, on top of his schoolwork in seventh year, and James, who was quite a bit taller than the other boy at this point, lifted him up and carried him to to their dorm room as gently as possible, grinning at his friend and shaking his head. He put him in his bed and turned off the light, heading outside, now late for the Quidditch practice he was supposed to be coaching. 

Remus Lupin falls asleep on the Hogwarts Express, like he always used to do. No one wakes him. No one covers him.

He is woken by the cold rush of his worst memories and a face that looks too familiar and far too young. 

Look me in the eyes and tell me that was necessary
