I am proud to be featured in issue 7 @HeartlinesSpec Magazine! It was no small task for me to write and submit this between bouts of brain failure and a long, exhausting journey through medical gaslighting and neglect. That experience very much informed my updated author bio✌🏼🤪
every news article about MAiD is like here’s Dr. Evil enacting the MAiD regime exactly how disabled people have been warning everyone—and it’s terrifying. i really don’t know what it will take for people to care about disabled lives
I'm being left behind by the AI revolution in the same way I was left behind when Heaven's Gate ascended to join the spaceship that was hiding behind a comet.
Actually really loving that #BCPublicHealth, & #BCPoli@bcndp@Dave_Eby by extension, and their bad policies, are becoming laughingstocks on a global stage.
After all, we know that they only act when shamed - never because they are compelled to do the right thing from the jump.
Ableism can look like:
- assuming all disabled people have able family members always available and willing to care for their needs;
- taking away support when the quality of life gets slightly less miserable;
- making services only accessible for disabled with able caregivers.
hilarious that we went from “never give out any real information about yourself on the internet” to “a handful of companies we know for a fact to be truly evil are going to require your govt name, DOB, and address for you to go online and it’s impossible to live an offline life”
I have a fantasy where a pain psychologist is writhing on the ground with a kidney infection whilst people around them are telling them to mind-body their way out of it.
The Liberal gov't passing a motion to require ALL Canadians prove our identities the same week Edmonton police begin testing Israeli AI surveillance tech and it bein the same province with a racist seperatist movement being instigated by US fascists, isn't a coincidence.
Literally everything I learned about how to stay alive & care for my body when I got sick was thanks to the millions of other sick people who came before me & left detailed instructions. No doctor helped. Even the nice ones who believed me had no actual advice. Only other sickies
