bandcamp roundup
→ NYC SAFETY
HEALTH INSURANCE: first, this sh*t's confusing; maybe call the hotline! 855-355-5777
–– if you're "broke": you want either medicaid (very worth it but peak wtf; specific hotline's 800-541-2831, but the 5777 should get you to the same folks if you qualify) or essential plan (income cap's $37,650); both are FREE ($0 monthly + deductible) & cover prescriptions & most exams, appts, hospital stuff.
–– making >$37,650: you still may be eligible for FREE insurance!!! hit the marketplace & enter your zip code, then make sure you click "estimate financial help" & enter income to see financial assistance estimates (otherwise everything will look psycho expensive). idk exact cutoff, but looks like there are free options w/ full coverage up to ~$43,500, & very cheap options after that.
HARM REDUCTION: narcan training (vid, quiz, request) + how to use test strips (vid) + narcan + fentanyl test strips (request) + more harm reduction resources

→ WHAT'S WITH THE EMOJIS
they're a range of <nyc-noise.com/access> ACCESS designators for literal physical access (can a wheelchair user get inside? ♿️ / ☑️), entry policies (are all ages allowed? 🅰️), covid safety (are ppl protected? 😷), & financial access (can poor ppl hang? 🌀).
🅰️ = all ages
♿️ = wheelchair accessible
☑️ = accessible w/ caveats (e.g. no ada restroom)
📶 = not wheelchair accessible (GET IT, STEPS)
😷 = mask policy
❓: plz email info &/or add an accessibility statement to yr site!
$$ = $30+ (too pricey for me, but i get it)
$$$ = $50+ (RARE cuz prolly not my ppl)
🌀 = free, NOTAFLOF [no one turned away for lack of funds], or suggested donation
(i avoided listing free / notaflof for ages bc it's important to pay artists for their work if u can, but some of us truly are *broke,* & sometimes i don't wanna send the shameless list request lol/woof...) remember: if u can afford drinks, u can afford door!!!
