#Help I'm disabled and the sole caretaker of another disabled person while not really being able to take care of myself. Without the #stimulus, I'm screwed on my bills, food, and property taxes. I don't know what to do. If you can help, thank you. https://t.co/LaOpjOqz7x

Even weirder is having over 500 followers and when I actually start reaching out and needing help, no one seems to acknowledge it. I'm REALLY TRYING TO FXCKING HANG ON HERE AND IT'S NOT WORKING SO GOOD.

Ok, weird request.... but I need to eat. Does anyone know how to get some pizza to out in 5he middle of Nowhere places? I haven't been able to cook or eat in the last week and I finally feel hungry.

Remember when disabled people said inspiration exploitation focuses on individual endeavors to distract from systemic problems?

Cause I do.

It's weird when you have to deal with a govt office about taxes. They're like "According to our records, the tax preparator service made an error." So you, THEE GOVERNMENT, have records & you know the exact amount I owe to the cent. But I paid someone else to guess...incorrectly.

Surely with only a few homes allowing visits, it makes sense to have a 24/7 helpline for those family carers whose loved ones have dementia but are in a care home. I know there are lots of people who cannot sleep through worry and to have someone to talk to would greatly help .

[⚧🐾⚧ @BurningOmmm]

@derekfi77174766 I'm one of them 😔 and I'm actually scrolling trying to find something like that.

Almost 1000 people have disliked this story about Indigenous ppl getting the vaccine. lol What is not so funny is comments on Twitter like "the Natives get special privileges." Do most people you know understand the health risks facing remote and rural Indigenous communities?

2. Some Indigenous communities on-reserve face overcrowding with limited housing and many live in multigenerational homes, increasing the risk of transmitting the virus.

Jerkface says it's her fault that Indigenous woman froze to death. #Sociopathisjerk

Noel Busse, a spokesman for the province’s ministry of justice, said it was Squirrel’s responsibility to notify corrections if she needed transportation.

PS. Land Back includes the water in it and around it.

[daanis @gindaanis]

It's only 11% anyway.

You keep your house. And there's still rules around development and new building and you know something?

We didn't have homeless people. We didn't have a housing crisis. Might be nice to restore other systems of land relationships.

[daanis @gindaanis]

So we're talking about changing who makes those decisions and how the wealth extracted from that land is distributed. Because I'll tell you this. The way things are set up right now it isn't you anyway.

[daanis @gindaanis]

Land back also means abolishing systems of ownership that convert land to private ownership.

Not that hard. Remember that most of Canada is not privately owned. Has not been converted to wealth.

Wealth is extracted from those lands in the form of lumber, oil, etc

[daanis @gindaanis]

What about it?

Say the Haldimand Tract reverted to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Now you pay your taxes to the Confederacy.

Say Northwestern Ontario was restored to the Nishnawbi Aski Nation. Now they are in charge.

Governments change. You stay in your house.

[daanis @gindaanis]

Land Back isn't that hard. Only 11% of land in Canada is privately owned. 41% is federal, 48% is provincial. So 89% of the land claimed by Canada could be restored with no impact to you.

People worry about that. What about my house?
