The fact that the historical depravity of whiteness, white supremacy, and its colonial projects are still presented as mental illness and not a concerted socio-political effort that is a mix of complacency, complicity, and active agency on the parts of many people speaks to the cowardice of those 1/

there will be a push to recruit young ppl. it will come to ppl whose families have been stamped into poverty beneath the boot heels of billionaires with promises of "a way out." education, travel, money. temptation will come from inside their own schools; make sure they have the tools to resist it.

they want to send your kids to war. don't let them, don't let them, don't let them.

Remember- the military relies on poverty and high tuition costs/predatory school loans to lure kids. The systems are all intertwined.

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

Yes, PP is worse. But stop accepting a low bar and a subterranean bar as the options.

No one should have to pay for medical care at all, let alone worry about doing so after recovering from major surgery. Please help with anything you can!!!

Again, our system is better than the US, but that says very little. Multiple provinces are actively undermining the system, and pushing costs to patients. Even when everything works perfectly, lots of stuff just is not covered. People go broke, lose housing, and declare bankruptcy here.

I personally know multiple Canadians who have gone broke and/or chosen Assisted Suicide because of medical costs. I know even more online. Please, please, stop spreading these lies. Yes, we're better than the US, but that's literally the lowest bar.

I'm just asking people not to trust the people who got everyone into this mess to get us out. Stop listening to these people.

Also transportation costs, many people have to travel to the big cities to get specialist treatment. Or if your kid is in Children's Hospital Vancouver but you have to work in Prince George. Or if you need say, an air ambulance out of your province you pay full price.

Propaganda you agree with is STILL propaganda. People in Canada DO go bankrupt from medical bills and illness related work loss, they just are more often tied to medication costs than hospital visits or procedure costs

The thing about depending on government services to live is that the people working in those departments don't actually have to do their job when you call in about issues. They can just say anything at all to you and hang up, and your life goes down the toilet. It's truly wild

yes, AI is being used to make CSAM and revenge porn and it’s telling people to kill themselves & their loved ones and it’s destroying the environment and it’s infecting every creative field but hey, you gotta admit, it sure helps me make my grocery list

Another year in this dumpster fire world that I increasingly struggle to maintain any will to keep living in.

This is exactly how my cousin justified her use of it and accepting a death of a thousand cuts even when those cuts are slow and spread out drives me crazy “Well its just for this little thing” soon blossoms into “well its just for—“ for everything

Requiring masks for only certain areas of the hospital is as useful as the smoking sections we used to have on planes and in restaurants. The smoke didn't stay in its section and neither will airborne viruses.

Ontario has the fewest hospital beds per person of any province in Canada. Ontario funds its hospitals at the lowest rate per person of all the provinces. We deserve better. #OnPoli #OntarioHealth

My sincere year-end thought isn’t an original one, but its importance has been underscored to me repeatedly over the last 12 months: be free with telling the people you love that you love them, casually, and at every chance. Great love, small love, every type of love.

my doubts about the efficacy of individual therapy as an intervention on abusive people are validated over and over. this woman has barely been in therapy for a year and she’s so excited to take the new tools she’s been given out for a spin to see how they can be used as mechanisms of coercion.

oh my god

Hey, if you’re feeling down during the holidays, you’re not alone. If you are alienated and hurting, you still belong. You still matter. It is worth being gentle with yourself.

It’s the fact people are still insisting everyone play along with the fiction of being baffled about the goals for the current people in power.

"Community care","Your friends are not your therapist"and leftist therapist not accepting insurance our ideas that cannot all work together. Somethings Gotta give and that's something usually is the mental health of people marginalized in a way that isolate them socially.

“Galen Weston wants ALL the public wealth and Doug Ford has been using federal health payments to enrich his buddies and funders, so Ontario NEEDS to make a profit on your illnesses and disability so you’re all going to get really sick.”

Pushed myself way too hard the last couple days and my body is fighting back hard with increased pain, extra shitty O2 sats and carbon dioxide buildup, but Nurse River is keeping me company and making sure I rest with breathing support today.

This just makes it so clear how disconnected you can feel without communication. Changed his world.

I don't want gen AI in my software I don't want gen AI in my phone I don't want gen AI in my email I don't want gen AI in my recipes I don't want gen AI in my safety documentation I don't want gen AI in my schools I don't want gen AI in my healthcare I don't want gen AI in my life

…If you think this is a good thing, a right thing, a "kind" thing, then we have such a fundamental mismatch of values that all questions of technology need to be put on Long Pause while you & i figure out what we mean by "good," "right," & "kind." You can't technofix your way out of values problems

Chronic respiratory failure sucks.

Feels good to have finally been in a position where I could give back and pay it forward after all the help I've needed over the last couple years with my own mutual aid for out of pocket medical costs.

Merry Christmas & happy holidays. Sending lots of love to everyone who struggles with this time of year. Everyone navigating grief, loss, isolation, pressure & poverty. Lots of love to my fellow trans, queer & disabled friends. My covid conscious friends. I wish us all safety & warmth.

I'm high and will probably delete these but hey look at the new longer incision scar from my third revision spine surgery this last October. Got an ass crack that goes all the way up.

Someone just met my MA goal for the month, and in the spirit of that, let's do an MA thread, please link your needs below, let's see if we can spread this joy around 💸💕

A holiday Mutual Aid thread. If you're crowdfunding for necessities (health, food, utilities, housing, etc.), post your links here. If you aren't crowdfunding for necessities, please share and give if you're able. Wishing everyone a safe and warm end of the year. 🌠

Please take a moment to boost & contribute if able to Wylder & his family! Everyone deserves to have their immediate needs met & gifts for the holidays. It's been rough out here for trans & disabled folks. Small acts of care & kindness are the least we can do. #MutualAid 💓 bsky.app/profile/wyld...

All of these "solutions" are based on abled people thinking they "know what you want, or is good for you" because ableism says that doing things that way is the BEST way, because having a dis/abled bodymind is bad, and thus should be mitigated and made as "normal as possible"

Hi! Lifelong wheelchair user here! The obsession ableds have with "wheelchairs that can go up stairs" has created a whole bunch of overly expensive boondoggles that are not suitable for genuine use, are phenomenally expensive, and like "exoskeletons", are NOT WHAT disabled folks want or need.

O has been a friend for a few years now. O works so hard to try to make ends meet with our abject poverty level disability "benefits" but it's not enough to survive on, especially with higher costs of living that come with being housebound, which means health gets put on the back burner. #MutualAid

Hi friends, Bex is a disabled, trans caregiver who could really use help in supporting their disabled mom & family over the holidays. Please kindly take a moment to share & contribute if able. Below is a link with more info & payment details. 💓 #MutualAid #HelpSky bsky.app/profile/thin...

Also just a friendly reminder during the holidays that if you want to help out, it's always best to support ppl directly when possible, on their own terms, by contributing to mutual aid requests. No, it's not tax deductible & you won't get the ego boost of photo ops. But it's much more impactful.

I'm here, I'm queer and my joint pain is severe
