The Carney government is also cutting prison librarians to save…$2.5m. This is now a theme with the federal budget - it’s not about cost savings, it’s about destroying access to knowledge and information. #Cdnhist
Me too. Glad it's being talked about more. 🫂
It just keeps getting harder and harder. Also, I'm not sure why I thought you lived in Canada this whole time? Fuck I'm sorry (which is not to say that things haven't been heading in the same direction here.)
Welp. Car is parked again. Safety inspection rejection. SNAP comes tomorrow, but I'm going to be paying a bunch for grocery delivery. (It's definitely cheaper than getting the car from impound.) Trying for a $50 cushion for fees and tip. Thanks in advance

Idk I feel like Canada sending weapons to the US and Israel to bomb Iran is still participating
You should also just read the article on disability dongles. The framework it lays out could be valuable for pushing back against a wide array of proposed "AI" use cases.
And this is the punishment for asking for support as a disabled person:“I asked for support from our state disability case manager. She hinted that we “could place our child in medical foster care.”
It’s always softly, softly. ”Aren’t you tired of struggling so hard?”
Constant undermining of will.
Family physicians in Ontario have been implementing 1-2 health concerns per visit limit & now mine has done the same. I get the systemic pressures but this really is another hit for ppl with chronic, complex conditions, busy schedules & ppl otherwise dealing with lack of access to specialized care.
This made me cry. Please take a moment to read this story.
When people's understanding of disability begins & ends with covid, these spaces can further alienate those of us with complex pre-existing disabilities, even if unintentionally. There is work to be done.

Made the difficult decision to give up my vehicle because not only can I not afford it, but I no longer feel comfortable driving much with my disabilities.
There aren't any reliable, accessible alternatives here, hence why I kept it for longer than I should've. This will be hard to navigate.
Why does a washing machine need an app bro I just want to turn a little dial I’m not James Bond

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
in total, Canada spends ~$6B/yr on public housing and ~$9B/yr on public transit
$20B+ on police.
The joints are tender to the touch and everything feels like it's burning from the inside out and I keep having hot flashes lmao I'm going to need to see a rheumatologist aren't I
Thank you 💕
Thank you Sam💜
The bill shuffle re-begins. The 1st is due in 7 days, so no rush per se. I don't want to appear to take help for granted, but I literally don't have time to do Uber or whatever as a full-time caregiver. (She's been choking more, so 🫠.)
But if you can help me out, I'd appreciate it. Goal is $350.
Carney can't have it both ways. We have to tell him we won't be an accessory to an illegal war.
On 1 day, Carney says he supports the war on Iran, next day he says that maybe it was illegal, & the next day he won't rule out joining.
No goddamned way. This is Drumpf's & Bibi's war. We must refuse to participate in this illegal, illegitimate, and vicious war.

I see this attitude a lot among disabled people in the west, and I think the issue of gAI demands critical thinking and choice from disabled people, too. We aren’t exempt from doing so because of our access needs, all the more so because disability is so often used to justify tech monstrosities
Masking prevents transmission. Please, mask up. It's literally the most basic amount of community care and, if you're broke like me, check out donatemask.ca for free masks.
If you also need or want Covod tests, they often have those available for free as well.
Hearing a child say they love you for the first time is such an honor. Happy tears. 🥹
Of course! I'll try to keep boosting and send a few toward the end of the month when my CPP-Disability comes in. I hope some help comes your way. 🫂💕
