Between sensory overload and pain management, it's really difficult to get anything done without supports. Then there's the cumulative effect of doing everything without supports over years. Then there's no supports available. How are my fellow #ActuallyAutistic adults over 50 *actually* doing?

The right has a well-organized, well-funded media ecosystem for grievance politics, a "this thing upsets me" to "hm, protocols of the elders of zion you say? Sign me up" pipeline. Literally autoplay basically anything on youtube, then wait for blood libel to show up

*editing to add the most important word: None of the "Disability EMPLOYMENT Organizations" are speaking up on this, because they're overrun with holders of real estate and gas portfolios. Because that whole thing is an accessibility issue at its root.

This came in the same budget that axed a luxury tax on yachts. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

There are rumors that ICE is dropping off people barefoot or even nude in the woods. I just want to remind people that these tactics aren’t new or from 1940’s Europe. Ask any indigenous people. It might be new to you, but they’ve been in this fight for centuries.

NONE of the disability organizations are speaking up about remote-first workplaces, and against this bullshit. NOT. ONE. Because they're charities overrun by people with Real Estate and Gas Portfolios. archive.ph/0u4o4

🥳🎉Yay! We won Minnesota! ICE is out! Somali people will no longer be stopped by ICE for being Somali! Now they're back to being stopped by cops for being Black! 5 year olds will no longer be detained for being immigrants like Liam Ramos! We're back to detaining 4 year olds after shooting their dad!

2023- 1 in 5 Doctors had long covid. 1 in 4 nurses also have long covid. We will end up at a tipping point without action, with gaps throughout the labour force and at that point it will be very hard to turn things around. www.bma.org.uk/media/7318/b...

Sharon DeSousa, the national president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, said in a statement that “Prime Minister Carney’s commitment to make federal workers spend more time in offices is severely out of touch with what’s best for workers and taxpayers.” He's banker. He's gonna bank.

“We will come to a sharper view on it over the course of the next several weeks,” Mr. Carney said. Translated: "We remind you that accommodations are embedded, we call them perks, meaning you can only access them if you already have support staff." Masks off, we're going FULL ABLEISM, Canada!

Another reminder; eight Vancouver cops participated in killing Chris Amyotte with so-called "non-lethal" rounds in 2022. Part of the rise of fascism is allowing police violence to go unpunished. It is happening in Canada as well.

For those who don't know, remigration is a European far-right concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white minority populations. I took this photo today in SASKATOON within hours of the ICE remigration Gestapo executing another person in the US. #CrimesAgainstHumanity

thinking about Mr. Rogers "look for the helpers" quote and I see the helpers and the helpers are being shot in the fucking head

You should find it disturbing so-called-Canadian news outlets are applying the 7rvmp narrative, word for word. Or maybe it's just me.

It's SUCH a hard sell, I get why they're pushing to turn us into addicted brain-mushed chatgpt users, so we too get to have "Yes-people" validating our every decision, no matter how terrible. I learned to question any "gifts" oppressors are willing to widely share for free.

*Sigh* Apparently this needs to be repeated? Still?

I'm noticing so, SO MANY amazing brains getting dulled out and slowing down in the last 6 years. Many brilliant writers and thinkers I know can barely put a critical thought together anymore. Protect your brain. Just think about who is doing the thinking for us now. Yeah... Wear a mask! 😷

Wow, Carney is really leaning into his #CrimesAgainstHumanity pedigree! His father was principal of a residential school. Now the CBC is reporting that Carney will join a Trump-sponsored board aiming to turn Israel's Sapartheid into "final solution" Sgenocide. Colonizers always gonna colonize.

Woke up this morning to Canada’s Ministry of AI issuing either big tech can do what they want, or a high level of government is afraid of a white supremacist pedophile billionaire. Sorry, but if you won’t take a hard line against CSAM, what’s the point?

Yep

Everyone meet so-called Canada's Minister of AI. (Explain to me just how in the world we're "the good guys". Anyone?)

ICE only has about 20-30,000 employees nationwide. Including desk jobs so there's even fewer armed. It's smaller than the NYPD. There's a reason they do their mega raids on one or two cities at a time, and it's not optics. It's because that's all the dudes they've got. Something to keep in mind.

Harper manages the Alberta pension fund. Harper's paid big bucks to "consult" Dani and Drunk Moe. Harper (with wee drunk Flaherty) produced the Ford family political dynasty. Harper has a fat fucking lobby firm, and a proxy one. Harper, on the board of CircleK, benefits from Ford's booze grift.

Soon we’ll be told there’s nothing in the kitty for social services There’s always money. Where they spend it is the big question

He wants to have it three ways: clean energy and fossil fuels and tech, all vying for the same raw materials. How can you build AI data centres that use gobs of water, produce fossil fuels that take a lot of water and still have environmentally sustainable practices?

Easy to achieve when you pay 54c/ hr to the people making your fashionwear

Society is failing these children.

can people please stop inventing imaginary disabled people and then pretending they've seen them "scamming the system" if this hypothetical person ever actually existed someone like you would've taken photos and reported them to the dwp you know it we know it so give it a rest ta

Sigh. Pandemic, nearly year seven, no one understands how anything works.

So-called Canada, PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!! Because the US is more spectacular in their oppression, doesn't mean it's not happening here:

Business and Economics are fairy tales for rich people. Current "news" stories are nothing but carefully crafted narratives dictated by "business and economic interests". Yes, even in "utopian" Canada. We're nothing but PR and carefully crafted narratives. Now with a Banker running things!

You can't separate this from the Atlantic article claiming their are too many students with disabilities. It's a moral panic meant to push out young people with disabilities from access to resources and to reify ableist bigotry. It's exactly what they did to trans people.

People are dying. This is not imaginary. An estimated 82,000 people died from Canadian wildfire smoke alone. Including this lovely little boy who never hurt anybody.

Which gets us to the real issue; when Canada signals to the world that, after 30 COPs and 30+ years of promises, they are essentially going to abandon all climate measures other than a yet-to-be-made "grand bargain" with the trump-loving far-right province of Alberta..

The UK, for instance, and other smaller oil producing nations, have had steadily declining output. Hint - Canada is a "planet wrecker" whose output has steadily increased, along with Russia and the USA.

Cherry-picking information and creating "case studies" to support very carefully crafted narratives is a very common practice for the likes of Deloitte. But quoting non-existent papers? They usually take care of creating them first. Someone's dropping the ball... Read on:

#PSA: Lung clinics are dangerous places for airborne viruses if you need to take your 3M Aura mask off for testing. Got there early enough to witness bare faces, and make the science-based decision to NOT catch anything. I didn't refuse care, safe care was denied to me before I even got there.

@uhn.ca Attn: Patient relations

I just transferred my lung care to UHN after WCH made it clear they weren't going to accommodate me or any other patient under the AODA. I asked for the first appointment of the day to reduce exposure to airborne pathogens. Witnessed 7-8 staff members going around without masks in (cont)

the clinic hallways, coming in and out of rooms while I was in the waiting area. With this level of lack of care, there was no sense in bothering trying to explain to anyone on that floor, or in the hospital, for that matter, that they are putting patients at risk.

"Patient Relations": only a phone number on TW's information board. Left a message there and am sending a letter to submit to your portal, but I also deem it super important to let everyone know: FOR #COPD AND #ASTHMA MANAGEMENT IN TORONTO: THERE'S NOWHERE LEFT TO GO FOR PREVENTIVE HEALTHCARE.

You can find current masking requirements for UHN sites at the link below. Please note that as of November 18, 2025, medical masks will be required during direct patient care and in patient waiting areas. www.uhn.ca/PatientsFami...

People are *still* dying from Covid they caught at work but corporations don’t care and will do nothing about it bc they don’t have to 👇 It’s up to us to demand clean air, paid sick days, RATs, masks, WFH accommodations… or you’re just giving your corporate overlords consent to maim & murder you 😷
