Toronto Animal Rights March yesterday. #animalrights

You can become disabled, homeless or impoverished in an instant. It’s not a choice. It’s not a personal failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” and avoid. It only takes one stroke of bad luck to change your life forever. They’re minority groups you can join any time.

Lentil quinoa lime bowl with a lime dressing and basil lime sauce on top. Lentils, beets,edame, carrots and quinoa. I liked that there was two dressings, as it made it more moist. #vegan #veganfood #vegetarian #vegetarianfood

What you see in this video is worldwide standard practice in the pig torture & murder industry 👺Mutilations all done without anesthesia. You are complicit to this when you are eating #pork or #bacon. You didn’t know? Now you know! #LiveVegan make compassionate choices 🙏

Best thing on TV. #Caturday

Mother's Day can be hard. Please spare a thought for those who've recently lost their mother.

Enjoyed a High Tea today. #veganbaking

Vegan pulled pork, using soy curls. For good recipes, Google Thee Burger Dude. #vegan #goodfood #crueltyfree

Your tax dollars should support the disabled, elderly & poor. They should pay for healthcare, food assistance, housing and childcare. Spending money on robust social supports and bettering the lives of the majority is far better than war, destruction & enriching billionaires

If someone on disability buys themselves a treat, they didn’t get extra money. They sacrificed. They went without something. They made concessions. They’re not taking “your tax dollars” to spend on luxuries. They’re just trying to survive.

My first visit to Bad Attitude Bread in Toronto and was blown away by the variety! The Key Lime Crossiant was awesome. I'll have to go back again. #vegan #goodfood #Toronto #plantbased #crueltyfree

People who are disabled, poor or on fixed incomes should be allowed nice things. Society acts as though anyone receiving assistance should be forced to make do with the bare minimum ALL the time. It’s suffering as a policy choice. It’s cruel and unnecessary.

Healthcare is a basic human right. Food and clean water are basic human rights. Housing is a basic human right. People shouldn’t have to fight to get basic needs met. They shouldn’t have to “earn it”. Less money on war & enriching the wealthy. More money where it counts.

“You’re so strong! I could never handle what you do”. Disabled people hear this everyday. Society wants us to be inspirational. They don’t want to accept that we don’t have a choice. We didn’t ask to be sick. You could do it too if you had no other choice.

I've seen videos of pigs screaming in gas chambers 😢 #pork #bacon #spareribs #ham

Burrito with black beans mashed with chili and chipotle powders, cumin, a bit of oil and liquid from the can of beans, corn and guacamole #vegan #Mexicanfood

Heather Winterstein died after ER triage staff ignored signs of sepsis and denied her care. They labelled her a homeless addict and sent her home without basic tests. Bias, bigotry, misogyny and racism have no place in healthcare…. Yet all too often they determine who lives & who dies:

Veganism is evolution by choice, and because of our unique ability to choose compassion, we, as moral agents, have a moral obligation to do just that ⚖️

PM Carney says the days of sending 70 cents of every dollar in military spending to the United States are over and gets a standing ovation

The middle class doesn’t exist anymore. Unless you’re very wealthy, you are far closer to becoming homeless and/or bankrupt than you realize. It can happen in an instant and can be nearly impossible to recover from. Better social safety nets benefit everyone.

Here’s the thing… even if Trump’s threat to annihilate an entire civilization is only bluster and bloviation… it’s still incredibly damaging. Imagine living in Iran and watching a countdown clock to potential nuclear disaster. He’s inflicting trauma & pain on the entire world.

I wish more people understood the terror disabled people face when dealing with housing insecurity, poverty and unsafe caregivers. Many in the community are forced to rely on abusive people for survival. It shouldn’t be this way. We desperately need more support & resources.

Thankfully, I have a loving, supportive husband. But that's not the case for everyone.

Whenever I want to check in on the state of Canadian democracy, I look at its weakest link: the Alberta government. And folks, it’s not looking great. You know the Don’t Say Gay stuff we’re used to seeing in the the United States? It looks like something similar is coming to Alberta schools.

If I don't sell enough of these by mid April. They won't be made. And I'll have to refund existing orders.

Barely anyone actually cares about thr constant violence against disabled people. Kelly is one of few people who actually talks about it frequently. Truly no one cares about us

There should be no need for food banks. The social safety net should ensure everyone can afford to feed themselves. #foodsecurity #socialsafetynet #poverty

Money may not buy happiness… but legislated poverty combined with disability can make for a very difficult existence. End stage capitalism has convinced people that their “value” is in what they produce for others. It says the disabled are expendable. “Useless eaters”. We are not expendable.
