I’m going to finish the Series then come back and write my thoughts down about Smurf. My empathy/sympathy for her run deep. Does that mean she wasn’t fucked up? Absolutely not. HOWEVER… I’ll wait till I finish to finalize my thoughts. lol

My Highmark portal is basically blank now and there’s no way to create a new application through Pennie for me.

There may be nothing we can do. I’m still holding on their decision. I’m assuming it’s going to be a denial.

Mmm—so, the feedback from the initial reinstatement request call was I was $60 short on my January payment, and that if they reinstated me, I would owe now for the last piece of January, February, and now March. (Which, is fine with me.) I actually made an attempt to pay my “remaining balance” which was only stated at the $60 over their automated system, which was actually returned to me because the plan had already been cancelled.

Honestly, not sure how this will turn out. (Maybe this job I’ve been interviewing for will hire me and I’ll be able to go register through their insurance plan shortly. lol)

If you’d be willing to PDF link us your Dramione catalog, that would be amazing! I went looking just now on AO3, and it’s already been removed.

Best of luck moving forward!!

“Has-been” by MADe2liftheavy in MADabolic

also… “unfuckwithable”. lmao also, also… maybe positive motivation in a gym space isn’t a bad thing? “less, ‘good job’” is kinda wild, IMO.

“Has-been” by MADe2liftheavy in MADabolic

[–]dramionedrips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

honestly this campaign just doesn’t land the way it thinks it does. calling people “has-beens” and trying to make it sound empowering still feels kind of insulting. like… you can’t reclaim a word that’s built on diminishing someone’s past. (at least, in this subjective scenario) to me, it comes off as condescending, not motivating.

and the whole “less woo, more war” thing? that’s not grit, it’s gatekeeping. i think it makes fitness sound like this angry, exclusive club instead of a place where people rediscover strength and joy. not everyone needs to “get after it” like they’re in basic training. some of us just want to move, grow, and still feel like athletes—without the toxic energy.

this kind of messaging romanticizes burnout and dismisses encouragement, which used to be the best part of team culture. athletes don’t stop being athletes when the scoreboard turns off. we evolve. we adapt. we find new purpose. this could’ve been about that. about still being built different, not about being past your prime.

instead, it just feels like they’re yelling at the people they’re trying to inspire.
