Symptom: Social Security Disability Rejection

61% of Social Security applicants are denied after their first application. I am now on the second appeal, when 49% of remaining applicants are approved, and have hired a lawyer (disability lawyers are only paid if they win your case).

I set a new goal on ko-fi, in order to get more illmarks pieces into the world. The fundraising would cover framing two Med Art Advocacy pieces, and submission fees + professional scanning for the Mütter Medical Museum, a Senior Living Center, a Health Care Center & 3 other shows.

If you are able to comfortably, please buy me a ko-fi. We’re 1/3 of the way to the goal!

a manila bookmark evoking antique anatomical vibes with a human figure in the center. the human is colored in magenta fractures which are shaded in yellow-green, giving a toxic and bruised look. These are mixed with dark teal ink which bleeds and runs and stains and contaminates -- at the heart, the IV location, in the cranium, eyes, and mouth, and spreading elsewhere through the body. there is a dot of water on the hand written text at the top which reads "symptom: social security disability rejection" is it from a tear?
