Credit to Joe for being wealthy enough to be blissfully unaware of the cost of living crisis, but people who don't do their own grocery shopping shouldn't be allowed to comment on the economy

Wait time for a disabled person to access medically assisted death in Canada? Three months.

A specialist for many TREATABLE conditions? 12-18 months.

Affordable housing? Multiple years.

Palliative care, psychiatric care & pain management? Good luck.

This is why we’re angry

Try this as a thought exercise: a disproportionate number of ppl who are disabled become homeless. Evictions highly elevate suicide. Society could write laws which ban evictions or which ease suicide. Why would a society choose the latter over the former?

False. As a scholar of Rousseau Moo Deng was using the invocation of free will to delineate that when the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich

This client supports her Kaiser Permanente therapist, who’s on strike: “I’m crashing the f*ck out, okay? But I’m waiting for you, I want you to get your bag.”

Israel assassinated farmer Yousef Abu Rabee and his two colleagues today as they were delivering seedlings to his neighbors in the North. He was a true hero, resisting genocide in impossible circumstances. Farewell, my friend. To God we belong and to Him we Return.

My husband has seen my intestines removed from my abdomen while they pulled our dying child out of my body.

He spent the next year wiping every tear from my eye, cleaning snot off of my face, and holding me while I puked from the rawness of my grief.

This is the real reason those articles about lonely men keep popping up. The decline started as soon as women gained rights and financial freedom. Now, if men want to get married to women, they need to be nice. Or they can stay single. Our grandparents marriages were enough

In 1 year of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, they killed more children than in any single year of conflict globally in the last 18 years. Survivors are witnessing the systematic dismantling of their futures. Download our updated visual & demand justice.

Black folks in Memphis are having to deal with environmental racism again. Building these data centers in poorer neighbors where the residents already have a lower life expectancy from pollution.

That you’d have people in Ohio believing Haitians are running around and randomly eating wildlife and are a threat to them, is directly related to the fact that US politicians have been spreading myths of “Haitian cannibalism” to justify getting police + troops into Haiti

[Your Fav Disabled Hottie❤️‍🔥 @nilanmorton]

I don’t think any of you understand. I started using Twitter more as a journal because I was annoyed with the ableism I experienced especially in college. That led to me being a disabled advocate.

I had pushback from people who I thought would support me. They told me that I post too much on social media. I was gonna embarrass my sorority or any other organizations I was apart of.

Some said I was doing too much or what I’m talking about isn’t serious.

At one point, I believed it and felt like giving up but I’m so happy I didn’t. I’m happy I kept being myself. I’m so happy I never changed the way I advocated. I’m happy I never been afraid to speak on topics that are considered “taboo”.

My voice has led me to so many opportunities and I’m so happy💕
