TORONTO! Putting the feelers out: Do you or a pal have a Winter sublet available at a reasonable $? Private 1-bedroom required! Prefer to stay near Queen West / Parkdale / Trinity Bellwoods, but tell me what you got. Must allow my cat! Current home turned sideways – need respite!

[Maranda With An A @MarandaDearest]

@ReiAlexandraYYC Literally think about you all the time when I'm offline. 💜

[Maranda With An A @MarandaDearest]

If you understand this then you should also understand that many of the same "resources" created by Canadian state for disabled people reify ableism not dismantle it.

@MissLoreleiLee This sounds like a book I've been waiting a long time to read, and I think you're the perfect person to have written it. 🍀

Cäre is theory. Mäsks are practice.

[Sydney Nicole Sweeney (she/they) @syderature]

In the same way that the systemic issue of ableism does not absolve individuals from using their agency to wear a mask, the systemic nature of issues exacerbated by the AI industry does not absolve consumers from exercising their agency in an oppressive structure.

[Hazie Thompson @haziethompson]

Not exactly amazing to me but to me but I still take a step back when I think of the number of people who are disappointed that I’m not dead, either from illness or the governments hands. Seems like quite a few folks would rather have a story to tell than help you survive.

[En(during COVID) @DEC0L0NIZE]

and if you’re “showing up for community” without wearing a high quality mask you simply do not care. concepts like “care” and “community” have been deeply compromised like the health of the *collective.

[Randa Jarrar @randajarrar]

There is a feeling of madness that all oppressed, silenced, ignored peoples share. We live outside of time. Large swaths of people arrive to conclusions we made years before. Many of us try to wake people up early, to beg others to help us before it’s too late

Somehow, we go on

Just saw an engagement announcement on Instagram so shocking that I have to get more serious about my Maoist-feminist-Adornian-Foucauldian-psychoanalytic critique of marriage and the family

“if you’re a good tenant, your landlord would want you to stay!” the average landlord would evict jesus christ himself if it meant they could move in someone who will pay $5 more a month, please be serious

Twenty one pages of questions to start a disability application vs one page for MAID.

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

There's the condition itself, the kind of care someone receives, how promptly they receive care, consistency of access to treatment, etc.

And medical ableism can show up at every stage in how someone is assessed & what treatment is even offered.
