Just another example of how little Ford cares about the needs of Ontarians. We desperately need doctors, but hey, let's make it even harder than it already is for internationally trained doctors (many of whom are more up to date than doctors here for years)!

The irony of the UCP 🤦🏻‍♀️ youtube.com/watch?v=ySZC...

The voices of those of us most impacted by poverty in Ontario need to be at the front of this conversation! #Poverty #ODSP #OnPoli #DougFord #SocialClimateChange

We're 27% of the #Canadian electorate, yet full #Accessibility is still an afterthought. We're an afterthought. #Canada pats itself on the back for doing the bare minimum then expects us to be grateful for that? #SocialClimateChange #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #DisabilityJustice #HumanRights #CanPoli

When we make up more than 1/4 of the electorate, it speaks volumes that only 15 of 39 criteria are mandatory. Parking? Not necessary. Accessible parking? Ha! Buses to polling stations? If you're lucky! Accessible bathroom? À luxury! Seating for lineups? Pft! Also, platforms are highly inaccessible!

Apparently I'm talked about in spaces I've never been. Curious who thinks I'm a clout chaser 😅 I hate attention and only post to bring awareness to what #SystemicBarriers we face and yes, as a person whose #Politics are #Disabilitypolitics, I'll tear any party apart!

A quick hello, and introduction on what to expect from my content.

Form community. If you haven't already find your people. People you can rely on. Mutual aid and community. People you can trust. Communicate on other platforms! Pay attention to the people around you. Protect the most vulnerable among you. This goes for Canadians as much as Americans.

If you haven't read through the executive orders signed yesterday, and get a chill down your spine and a knot in your stomach.... You're still not paying attention! Also, anyone else notice the Constitution is no longer on the white house website? Oh, and Spanish site removed. 😬

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

Disability politics isn't identity politics. Let's talk about how ableism affects voters when disabled people try to discuss accessibility, equity, and more. I had to break it into 2 parts, both of which you can find below :

Welcome to the era of self proclaimed leftists showing us exactly who they are. What do I expect in the coming weeks/months with impending elections on both the federal and Ontario provincial levels? Well, read the thread and find out...

Be a tester for the new app? Absofuckinglutely @skylight.social here if you still need people!

This is amazing!! TikTok 2.0 (Skylight) no affiliation to Tiktok. Y'all really need to watch this video I will be reposting her other updates as well! #Skylight PLEASE HIT ALL THE BUTTONS!!

Unlearning takes time, and no one expects perfection. What we expect is for people to make an effort. Ableism is as I portant to unlearn as all other -isms and is what fuels other -isms!

My favorite post today!

We can thank society for that. Ableism is the ism that wasn't named or defined until the '90s, but has been experienced throughout history. Some are just learning about it, others dont feel it's as bad or as important as other -isms even though it's the one -ism that feeds all others.

Canada would never stand by while our neighbours are hurting ❤️ we may not like the cheetoh, but the people aren't him.

Told y'all to never take your rights for granted. They can be taken away. Ffs.

Filed in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia; allegations of someone using their position at a telecom company to access personal information she then shared with unauthorized people. vm.tiktok.com/ZMkRTM8en/ #bellmedia

It's wild to me how many people will call themselves "good people" then drop an "R" slur. Even wilder are the ones who do it and you can tell the slur makes them uncomfortable, they know its bad.... But they'll drop their voice just a little..... And let it rip anyway.

That would be the logical solution 🤷🏻 but after #CapitalPride I don't expect much in the way of making logical decisions, let alone the right decision. He speaks a big game on #HumanRights but keeps missing the mark by a long shot!

They forget their liberation depends as much on us as ours theirs. They forget that none of us are free until all of us are free. We cannot only fight for one or some, we must fight for all. Everyone's human rights depend on it!

Welp, that sums that up beautifully!

If non-disabled people are not expected to provide accessibility for themselves wherever they go, then disabled people should not be expected to do the same.

Spotted #BlackDisabilityPolitics at Charis Books in ATL! 😍

Sooo... I think we can all agree that #DougFord will likely have a snap election come spring? And I think we can all agree a different approach is needed this year? Like, instead of convincing people they should vote a certain way, can we focus more on just getting people to vote? #OnPoli #Ontario

Well then. 👀

Who says sleep is necessary. Not being able to find a confortable position because every joint is on fire and the bed no matter how soft it is feels like it's made of gravel on concrete to my skin and body is my favorite thing 🙄. Oh and fuck my bladder! 😒 #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #Disability

Turns out, I came to the right place! #Winning

They never consider the #CripTax when measuring poverty for Disabled people -Special diets -Prescriptions -all types of adaptive Devices -Delivery fees -travelling expenses -Equipment -accessible tech -etc Not to mention that often anything adaptive or accessible has a cost akin to luxury items.

It'll be interesting to see not only how pervasive #Ableism is here, but also how deeply it's driven by white people with #Disabilities. Hey #Feminists, did you know that ableism fuels #Racism and all the other isms? Y'all may want to unpack that. #CripSky

In a time where long covid is disabling more & more people, we're on the verge of destroying what little assistance we have. What's that going to look like? #longcovid #disability

The 4B movement is not a safe space for people like me, so no thanks.

Couldn't have put it better myself! #Abortion is not just a #WomensRights issue. It's also a: #DisabilityJustice issue

The social model of disability is valid, but it isn’t the whole story. Disability sometimes involves excruciating pain, debilitating anxiety, inability to process sensory experiences or language or other input. Even without ableism, disability is…disabling.

This along with 'How ableism fuels Racism' are definitely must reads for anyone wanting to deconstruct the deeply rooted ableism we all live with whether we're disabled or not. You can thank society for allowing ableism to be the only truly acceptable form of oppression used by every human.

Soooo... This is the new "it" place?
