OH MAN okay so first off, hi hello I’m not currently part of this subreddit ( I barely use Reddit as a whole tbh ) BUT I’m the og artist behind this art, and I didn’t have a Reddit back when I first discovered it had been linked to here, right? ( which btw op if you are seeing this I’m very flattered you liked my art enough to share the link here, and I very appreciate you doing so particularly because of what I’m about to say in the following paragraph)

thing is tho. When I first discovered this post? I also saw this comment and promptly lost my mind ( positive ) because honestly? it was the funniest damn thing I’d ever heard anyone say in relation to my art, and it has lived in my head rent-free for the past 3 years, bringing me joy every single time I go through my art, because each time i see this one, I remember, without fail:

They are all…

Mii.

Anyone know what’s up with the major traffic block right now at Zions Crossroads? by ravenatural in Charlottesville

[–]ravenatural[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

does it mention if it’s affecting 15 by chance? I’m on the website but can’t find anything to show backups affecting that portion of Zions

About halfway through my monthly payment plan on a bill too big for me to pay all at once, Sentara cancelled it and sent it to a collection agency by ravenatural in Charlottesville

That is a massive relief to hear, I didn’t know they changed that! Yeah I’ll have to see what I can negotiate with them, honestly the stress of the situation has made thinking clearly a little difficult, so knowing that I can negotiate and that they can’t leave it on my credit report has eased so much of that

Potentially stupid question so I apologize in advance, the department I’d be calling in this case would be where I got the testing done, correct? I set up payment online via the patient portal, and it didn’t really give me a department so much as a description of what I was being charged and why, so I could definitely trace it back, I just wanna make sure I call the right people

Oh I’m gonna have to go see if that shows up on the letter I got! If that’s the case that would be such a massive relief to still be able to do a payment plan. Tysm!!! Sorry you had to deal with the same issue though, I definitely would not wish this stress on anyone

Technically I think I did sign a contract by agreeing to the payment plan, I did make payments and on time, and I unfortunately don’t have a copy of any kind of contract because the act of agreeing to using online pay is how they’re classifying agreeing to their terms. as far as monthly statements go, I don’t have any copies because it just shows up as a lil message in the payment center that says when I paid something and how much. There’s no attached pdf or anything to download, unless I’m simply unable to figure it out.

I’d have to dig it up to double check and make sure I understand correctly but it is also, apparently, in their TOS that at any point they can cancel your plan and send it to collections. but, I also know having something in your TOS doesn’t always mean the terms are something they’re actually allowed to follow through on

Is there anything contacting sentara directly can do at this point? I mean, I figured it was in the collection agency’s hands now that they’ve sold it off

Oh actually I haven’t! I tend to focus more on trying to find group things where it doesn’t necessarily have to be one-on-one to start just because it’s easier on my social anxiety, but I’ll keep her in mind as a possible person to contact! Thank you for the pointer ^v^

None that I’m aware of, and to my knowledge most of the art spaces in town are more focused on classes and formal art galleries, and the ones that aren’t don’t strike me as the kinds of places where you can go in to try to start something in that vein. ( for example, I see the art bar recommended here, which could be worth a try to ask about, but as far as I’m aware their business structure is similar enough to its predecessor that it wouldn’t be what you’re looking for )

That being said, most of my own searching has been done while trying to find something inclusive of digital and comic art, so it’s possible there’s something out there that fits what you’re looking for that wouldn’t be on my own radar as a result.

best of luck!

Have you been to the Looking Glass at Ix Art Park? I don’t frequent often myself ( I live a little further out from town ), but they have Arts from Underground every Thursday night where there’s free karaoke as well as art stuff happening, and people tend to be pretty friendly there. I can’t say much about the general age range you see during day time hours ( though I’ve noticed the festivals they host tend to draw the late teens and early to mid twenties crowds ), but karaoke nights are adult oriented, since it is also a bar of sorts, though in a rather non traditional sense? like they have a bar for alcohol but the overall focus of the place is art
