I am a Person with Disabilities, unable to work, and living in #poverty. I am writing this story as a way to keep my mind off the poverty and maybe show that folks like myself CAN still contribute to society, even if we can't work a conventional job.
Any support helps.

@mark-carney.bsky.social won't even comment on the #UNCRPD report blasting #Canada for its abuses of #PwD, and the coerciveness of #MAiD track 2.
It's great that the Libs support #LGBTQ+ people. but how about supporting the people who are out here dying of poverty

The notable absence of support in his platform is for #Disabled people.
the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit remains a shitshow full of barriers, and set criminally low under the ableist attitude that #pwd are to be forced to get jobs, not be supported to recover from decades of poverty

What ever happened to things like tasers. I know they aren't 100% non lethal, but fuck. Could have saved this kids leg.

Yup. I'm testing waters. I can make 3k words weekly relatively easily. I'll try for three 4k and see how it goes. If it's stressing me to much, will drop it down to 3500

Such a last minute cancellation was EXTREMELY disrespectful, and I feel that the @canadiangreens.bsky.social owes Mitchell greatly for the time and health effects that Ms May wasted for him.
Please communicate to her how unhappy the ENTIRE community is with her at this moment.

And meetings like this are EXTREMELY hard on him with his various conditions, screwing up his health for days, if no weeks, both ahead of, and after the meeting. I've seen it every time he's done an interview with a news agency. Elizabeth should have been aware of this going into this meeting.

lets not forget that in so many ways, the democrats are letting it happen by mounting piss poor opposition.
Biden could have expanded the supreme court, Harris could have broken away from the stance on Gaza, democratic senetors and congress could be fighting him more, but don't

just wait, the accusations and "convictions" will start happening to his political opponents

it really makes me hope the worst happens, and every single person that does nothing and watches we #disabled people suffer without doing a thing to help, find themselves in the same killing #poverty we are in.
Fuck you #Canada. May all the suffering you heap on the #disabled come back onto you

What the FUCK is wrong with you #Canada?
Are you all REALLY that heartless and cruel?
Or just really that self centered that you don't care who else gets hurt as long as you have a comfortable life?

Literally, only the @canadiangreens.bsky.social was on target for policies that would actually HELP #disabled people. The rest gave wishy washy, or policies outright CONTRARY to disabled person's needs.
#cdnpoli #Canada sure seems to fucking hate disabled ppl, if only the least popular party cares.

The @liberalca.bsky.social rep once again reiterated the whole idea that #pwd should be pushed into the workforce, even though many of us are UNABLE to work, implying that without working, we have no value to society, and should be left to die.
comment in response to
post
ABSOLUTE heartless disregard for #pwd by not even sending its disability shadow minister, and that they'd only look at DOUBLING the #CDB, which would still leave it extremely short of where it needs to be to truly help #pwd.
And of course, the #Conservatives didn't send anyone at ALL

which benefit who? not the taxpayer. the Rich.
The Rich, who inevitably does every single thing they can to avoid paying the requisite taxes on the actual amounts they make.
So not only are billionaires making money by wage theft. They are using your taxes to wage war for THEIR profit

the military industrial complex, companies like lockhead, raytheon, and all the rest...they make hundreds of billions of dollars ever year on the taxpayer. And then the products they develop, that the govts buy, are used for military actions meant to seize control of resources...

Its not even his birth name. He changed it to try and win more support from the french canadians lol

oh, he threw hissy fits when ppl first started calling him PP.
but nobody can fecking remember how to spell Pollievre correctly, and nobody respects him enough to try.
comment in response to
post
same here in Canada. the one we call PP is like Trump packed in Milhouse's body.
we are probably the US's BIGGEST trading partner, with a free trade agreement TRUMP negotiated (and he's saying a moron did, ironic). If the WORLD were smart, we'd boycott the US en mass

I have said it before, and I will repeat it constantly.
Canada needs more MPs like you Mike. we need MPs that actually LISTEN to their constituents, instead of brushing them off if their concerns or issues do not match their party's paradigms. We need ethics, responsibility, and compassion!

It is said in some tellings of the Second Battle of Mag Turead that the first Keening (what they called the bean sidhe's wail) was done by the Tuatha de Danann Goddess Brigid upon the death of her husband Bres.
The corruption of this member of the fair folk into a monster often annoys me greatly.

For the word Banshee derives from the term Bean Sidhe, or "Fairy woman" (though I have heard some more literal translations have it simply mean "the little folk")
The bean sidhe would HERALD the death of a family member, usually by wailing, or screaming.

Listening to this song this afternoon, which is about the Banshee, it got me thinking that I kind of want to start my own little handbook of the fae. Especially the Sidhe.
Because the banshee that most ppl think of today when they hear the term, is NOT the way they originated.

One might consider it a good idea, however, to be polite to the machines, even tho it might feel silly.
After all, when the rest of humanity triggers the robot apocalypse, maybe they will remember you as the one that was kind and polite.

It is an awesome song full of affirmations to keep you going :D

Life is getting tougher and tougher to afford every day. as a #disabled person on financial supports, any donations through Ko-fi would really help make life easier and let me concentrate on writing this story with less anxiety about life getting in the way.
Please help if you can.
