So I finally got an email from @Support and I wish I was making this up but it instructs me to log in. It says they will be notified that I tried and I assume this is supposed to unlock some secret passage but instead it just sends me back to 'Contact Support.'

@mssinenomine asked me to let you all know that she is locked out of her account. She is working on it.

@BrvHrt09 @mssinenomine @Support Thanks. I really need/want to talk to everyone today but so far still no email or way back into my account.

[Disability Filibuster @DisabilityFili1]

Hi. It's @mssinenomine here and I remain l0cked out. It won't accept my two factor verification while at same time requiring it. I've contacted @Support & they say they have sent email confirming they will investigate but no confirmation email has shown up. Anyway, hi!

@mssinenomine It's me versus against the YIMBYs in terms of list of speakers. I'm so angry. They are just making things up and speaking as if they are experts on fire. Meanwhile the actual experts - fire chiefs, fire depts, fire fighter associations - are universally opposed.

[Disability Filibuster @DisabilityFili1]

Hi. It's me @mssinenomine Still can't access my acc0unt but I'm here. Currently waiting to speak to a motion at City Standing Committee about single egress stairs. We had Deputy Chief of Van Fire and Rescue come speak to VCPC and there are so many reasons for serious concern.

@Kelporama @mssinenomine @Support I switched to the new computer but still have an old phone and best as I can tell the newer version on the computer can't communicate with the one on the phone and the two have cancelled each other out - or something like that. IDK?

@bmoore123 @mssinenomine @BrvHrt09 @Psych_MD Here is what we have been told: "book will be published accessibly in ePUB format, for those who use screen readers and other assistive technology". Does that work?

[KC ♿️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @BrvHrt09]

Check it out! Check out the authors including @mssinenomine who have written this book about MAiD in Canada. Even before reading “Unravelling MAiD in Canada: Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide as Medical Care” even before reading it I KNOW this will be thee definitive book on “MAiD”

“The whole process was dismissive of the evidence,” said @LeonieHerx , the chair of palliative medicine at Queen’s University, who was one of the committee’s witnesses, and a signatory to the letter."

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

The letter from 43 witnesses condemning the MAiD committee's methodology and report is now publicly available.

Join us this Sunday to for a MAiD Report burning party.
Come share as crips creatively express our feelings about the words of the special joint committee. You can watch or participate. Fire is optional. Destruction of it is not.

Here’s the #MAiD in Canada: Report of the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying

Hey disabled peeps! Come join in the #MAiD Report burning tomorrow @DisabilityFili1. If you don’t have a place to🔥 it but do have a printer—ripping paper can also be therapeutic destruction. Even if u don’t have a printer, u could write out a couple of the recommendations & RIP!

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

Are you registered for TODAY's Disability Filibuster - MAID report burning gathering?
We'll also have @igrantubc Dr. Ramona Coelho and @CatherineFrazee breaking down what's in the report.
The first hour is poor crips speaking & others listening.

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

Disabled people, you did this!

This is a tiny win - because of course this is just a delay and it still leaves many of us in the crosshairs of MAID - but it is a win and we need to acknowledge and celebrate it as such.

Crips made the Liberals blink.

Hell yeah!

[Disability Filibuster @DisabilityFili1]

Within your ableist system, Track 2 MAiD extends the coercive but seemingly arms length power of the state, to provide a designated class of citizens with premature death at the hands of the state.

In order to be allowed a presence you have to agree to die.

Even today the only place for us in media coverage is as human interest stories about those among us who have resigned themselves to applying for MAiD 1/3

after tiring of seeking non-existent support and unable to gulp down the prospect of a future of subsistence level poverty inflicted and normalized as a component of our broader dehumanization and oppression. 2/3
