@GHMansfield Yes! On my first day of kindergarten, a boy in my class sobbed because he wanted a “rider toy” like mine.

@philaheather I’ve had this set up for year - it’s definitely possible when you find the right people!

This is a longgg rant, but as a non-confrontational person, it's hard navigating relationships with people who aren't covid conscious😭. I skipped a b-day celebration that my friends had today and joined for a bit of it on facetime.

Hospital worker to me, a disabled person: “Do you have a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order?”
Me: “No.”
Hospital: “Do you want one?
Me: “No.”
Hospital: “Are you sure?”
Me: “Very sure.”
Hospital: “You can always change your mind.”

Would a nondisabled person be treated this way?

Not enough people talk about the loneliness that comes from living with disability in a world not made for you.

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Why does inaccessibility and exclusion of disabled people mean so little to so many?

The Canadian government admits some people may not even have a family doctor but can readily have someone sent over to euthanize them. #cdnpoli

Retweet this if you think the Ontario government should immediately reverse their cuts to healthcare for uninsured people. #Healthcare4All

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.

They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.

Don't let them fool you.

Being disabled is an unpaid full-time job you can never quit. No breaks, no time-off, and no recognition.
