For me, that mindset has led to severe OCD.

Hi. Can we keep this feed more active please. Some of us are not on meta apps. 21 days is a long time. Not even a post to acknowledging your win and thank your voters. The world is in chaos, I need reassurance my elected officials are working hard for causes. Thank you.

You know what will help the economy? Lifting people out of poverty. Ending and preventing mental illness. Caring for seniors. Healthcare. Community. Nature. Rest. Play. Education. Arts. Creativity. Ceremony. This hyper focus on consumption will be the end of of humanity. It’s nonsensical.

I just emailed Developmental Services Ontario the other day ahead of my scheduled meeting Monday. I said I can’t take another no, sorry, or closed door. They either help me ease my suffering, or help me into MAID. The whole disability system is inhumane, and traumatic to endure.

Hello! Some of us have chosen not to use meta platforms. Can you please keep this page active. I voted for you and you haven’t even bothered a thank you, or to keep this active since being elected. Things like this matter. I need to matter not just at election time. Thank you.

I agree.

Disabled children grow up to be disabled adults. The parents of disabled people pass away, or sadly become estranged from their disabled children. There are no safety nets for us. Too often it becomes preventable death/homelessness. Please help us, so we too can be a part of this reconnection plan.

I just posted how I used to love to cook and make salads and now I’m struggling to feed myself because of burnout, chronic fatigue and trauma symptoms being triggered from current events. It’s absolutely terrifying.

You can also see how shapes and patterns come into play with how I capture, and present my observations of objects. Everything needs to be ‘just right’ or close to just right depending on my focus/functioning. Again.. calm vs chaos.

These shapes and arrangements are repeated throughout my apartment. From the way furniture is arranged to the way items are positioned on shelves and hard surfaces. Everything has a visual balance. Everything has its place. Calm vs chaos.

Perhaps it’s my being autistic, but I am having a hard time understanding the ‘I am Canadian’ pride in response to the actions by the U.S., with the dismal fact 55% of Ontario’s population didn’t vote. Proud we may be, but our apathy is a cry for radical change. It’s a sign of serious disconnect.

I had serious migraines all through my youth and into young adulthood. I think they called them cluster migraines. Often behind my eyes. Not sure if related but that’s when pre frontal cortex is developing I believe. By adult 25/30 they disappeared to be replaced with a different type of headache.

Humanity needs change. Pronto. As you wrote, continuity is comfortable. Until it causes existential suffering.

We can not have infinite growth on a finite planet. At what point does growth become unsustainable, destructive? (Is it too late?) What are the benchmarks we are aiming for? What is the end goal? We need serious conversations about redefining growth, REST, and REPAIR. Of planet and people.

Fixing healthcare goes far beyond funding and hiring. Both important things. But STILL we deny and refuse to look at why we are getting sicker. We refuse to acknowledging our disconnect to science, nature, and the humanities. We focus only on the body, a wee bit on the mind, and zero on our soul.

None of them have my confidence. There is no fixing humanity without radical changes to our way of living and governing. And that looks like a return to science and the humanities. It looks a lot less like capitalism,plundering the earth and creating scarcity in order to profit. We need to wake up.
