From the DM’s… The UCP hit a brand new low today! Not only are they clawing back the federal disability subsidy from vulnerable Albertans… They’re asking AISH recipients to apply for it SO the UCP can claw it back from them! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Since no one’s posting about it here, AISH recipients all got letters today saying we have no choice but to apply for the disability tax credit as a requirement to apply for the Canada disability benefit when applications open up. And they WILL be clawing back the entirety of the CDB.

Quit looking for reasons why you don't have to care. Equally, quit looking for things there's "nothing we can do about". Focus on your privileges + positions and what they can provide for others in your life who don't have them. Make caring sexy, make it desirable and don't stop doing what you *can*

Well, Kid's got impacted wisdom teeth and I need some help covering the unexpected bill. The estimate is a little under $1200. That's a whole lot for me. I hate asking, but she's in pain and at risk of infection. If you're able to help: Paypal: affirmationgin at gmail Cashapp/venmo: showupforthis

Without the carbon tax rebate, many of us with low income -especially those of us on disability and below the poverty line- will have yet another gap in our budgets. Par for the course, I guess.

Tinu was an absolute legend for the disability community on Twitter. She helped so many people. I miss her presence

Sigh. Once again in the position where I'd lock my account if I could, but I can't so I won't be able to post a lot of things here for the foreseeable future. As usual I'm still on Twitter, and my DMs are open. I'll still be here. Just not as fully as I wish I could be.

PSA for the era of the news firehose: try to wait for more than one source to corroborate significant news before sharing it

Fun fact: if your revolution doesn’t make space for and actively include disabled/immunocompromised people then you’re not as anti-bigotry as you think you are. Mask up! Do it now! 😷😷😷😷😷😷

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

So when it comes to "grow community locally" stuff, here's something non-Disabled folks especially have to figure out how to counter. There is a long-standing pattern where chronically ill people, even those who previously had extensive support networks and community, are abandoned and isolated.

There will be calls to leave behind people more vulnerable than you this year. Many people will. You won’t.

[TW: Pet Death] . . Finally sharing. Cheerio’s health really took a downturn over the holidays & after consulting with the vet, I made the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make and opted for at home euthanasia. As of this morning, my best friend of 17.5 years is gone.
